Guild Wars 2

From the patch notes:

“Increased the rate at which some salvage kits give upgrades so that the practical rate matches the stated rate in those items’ descriptions. The following salvage kits have had their upgrade salvage rates increased:”

So they were all giving upgrades at the wrong rate for all this time? Any power salvager from the former Black Lion forum know what the actual was for the listed kits?

Cant find my exact data but at least for basic kit and CfSoM it far below 5% rather than the tool-tipped 20%. Didnt use fine or journeyman kits in reliable amounts for salvageable items with upgrade components to say anything about these two.

Unfortunately, they didnt seem to have adressed the borked chance to get higher tier common mats while they were at it, either.

I did some research a while ago and got about 3% from masterwork using basic kits (stated was 20%). I only kept track for 200 salvages, so the true rate could have been 2%, 5%, or even 10%, but it almost certainly was never 20%.

After that, I tended to assume there was a misplaced decimal somewhere, i.e. 2%, 4%, 6%, & 8% for basic|copper-fed, fine, journey, and master|mystic respectively. But having reported the one bug, I lost interest in being meticulous enough to determine the rates for other situations.
