Salvage Ascended Items
IMHO : As you can change stats now on ascended items it shouldn’t be difficult to find an alternate user?
The mats well I will make some new ones instead … Elonian leather is 2 gold,the spiritwood and the deldrimor around 4 maybe 5 gold… The only thing which is remotely interesting is damask and it’s worth 16+ gold… then again I spend way , way more on the armor piece and I can retrofit it with another insignia as well so I just send it to another char…
Of course you’d need some alts…. luckily I have 16 chars……

Yes, except when very expensive runes/infusions are involved.
You have to either give them up or pay gems for an asininely expensive upgrade extractor.

@Pax – I see what you mean, but I’m just curious in general why salvaging Ascended items is prohibited in the first place. Was it just to help protect folks from accidentally salvaging it and then getting angry? If so, I’d prefer to have some kind of extra “are you sure” type of warning and be given the option to go ahead and salvage.
@Scribe – agreed – I’d like to get back some of those expensive upgrades and the upgrade extractor is not an attractive option.
To put things another way, I could see some of the logic behind why salvaging Karma items was prohibited. But at the moment I’m not seeing the logic behind why salvaging Ascended items was prohibited.
I transmuted a chestpiece with a strength rune and paid the 16 .5 gold. Glas It’s only 16.5 gold not a full chest again (~100 gold)

IF you are not using the gear anymore, you already gave up on the upgrade components anyways.

Does anyone know if there’s ever been an announcement that the ability to salvage Ascended items is coming in a future patch? Or that it is intentionally never going to happen so we shouldn’t get our hopes up?
Even if we got just a portion of the materials back, it would be better than selling it for cheap to a merchant.
You shouldn’t get your hopes up.
- For exotics, we can salvage them to recover the room and a tiny fraction of the materials.
- For ascended armor & weapons, we can transmute them to any stats we like, at a tiny fraction of the cost of creating new ones. (We do lose the upgrades, which — at the very worst — represent less than 20% of the total costs. )
tl;dr we can already recover a portion of their value by stat-transmutation in the forge; I don’t think it’s realistic that we’d be able to recover even more value.

The Devs sorta kinda said that something was coming for Ascended gear in HoT, and not to get rid of them just yet.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

That was just about rings, no?
