Guild Wars 2

Why can I not salvage my exotics? I have different pieces of useless exotic armor sitting in my backpack that is soulbound, but I can’t vendor it, salvage it, or use it in the mystic forge? Am I missing something? What is the purpose of not allowing us to do anything with these besides delete?

Are they the PvP exotics from the Achievement point rewards chests?

If so you need to buy a PvP salvage kit for 100 glory in the mists in order to salvage them. If you regularly click deposit collectables these exotics will be placed into your PvP locker and only duplicates will remain in your bags.

If they are karma exotics you are not able to salvage or vendor them but you should be able to put them in the forge if I am remembering correctly.

Some are karma exotics. They don’t work in the forge. I can check again.
Some are chest rewards from living stories.
Some are amulets that I don’t remember where I got it.

But you would think it would just be a good idea to give us something to do with them besides deleting…
