Guild Wars 2

I’m sitting on about 20-25 ascended rings from fractals and i dont want to just sell them to merchant. Is there a possibility of salvaging them in the future?
Salvaging them into… let’s say 3 ecto and some Empyreal Fragments or Obsi Shards wouldn’t hurt the market and getting one you don’t need will still feel somewhat rewarding

Discussed many times on the forums, no actual response from ANet.

I still don’t understand why we can’t salvage them.

It’s hardly economy breaking if we can salvage them into 0-3 Ectos & Dark Matter, is it?

I need to retrieve my Scholar runes from my Saphir (Assassin) set come the Ferocity change as I replace them with Zojja (Berserker), but I simply can’t salvage for that, and it absolutely is not financially worth buying an extractor from the gem store. Silly, really.

It might be that we can’t salvage them because we need a source for Crystalline Ingots. I highly doubt they would be the only source, but I can only imagine the rage that would come about if people were salvaging rings the whole time and suddenly they lost out on all the other ascended mats they could have been getting.
