I saw that it is was possible to salvage them for the gifts, this was about three months ago or so, but no longer possible now, what changed that? just curious.

“Might makes Right” – the ability to commit an act is sufficient justification to do it.

You mean the weapon? Did they ever actually say that or did they say that certain gifts could be salvaged for their component parts?

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I saw on reddit last post 3 months ago someone did, provided pictures, had 161 or so upvotes.

As far as I know, the Gift of Fortune is the only Gift that can be salvaged to get back all of its components. And as far as I know, it’s still salvageable.

I think that guy was trolling, and pictures are easy to fake.

You need something more substantial, like a dev quote or a wiki note with proper citations.

What would they salvage into? Back into the components would not make any sense.

Yes, it’s meant to be that way. As far as I know, they’ve never been salvageable.

The thing is, it doesn’t make sense. Once you made and equipped a Legendary then you’ve got the skin forever in your wardrobe. You could salvage it, get all the gifts back and make a second, different legendary for a much reduced cost by reusing the gifts. Rinse and repeat for as many times as you like.

Very true, but the rng on pres are quite silly. its the hardest bit to get on a legendary.

Not if you buy it, there’s no RNG.

You could make a legendary, salvage it to get the skin and the gifts back. Buy a second precursor, use the gifts to make it again and sell it to recoup all or most of your cost of the first.

Assuming you have the money yeah.

Just wish there was a dev responses confirming or denying this, this meaning if they plan to add this still, because i remember they wanted to add something like this.

As far as I can remember, I do not recall any intention to include salvageable legendaries.

With the new pre crafting system, to do so would trivialise legendaries as Just A flesh Wound described above

I am sure you are getting confused. Like others said, they added an ability to salvage gift of fortune because it is not needed for the new legendaries. People had assumed it would be needed and crafted them ahead of time before HoT was released. This obviously led to some upset as you still need 200 of each t6 matterial for the new legendaries; just not the gift of fortune.

So they added a salvage ability so people who crafted the gift of fortune could get their matts back for the new legendary gifts.
