Guild Wars 2

~Any chance to consider a ‘Ascended Salvaging Kit (8-10)’ for ascended ‘gear’ which could be crafted through maxed smithing or bought via gems in the BLT?
Maybe give it a % chance to salvage ascended materials, upgrades, etc. perhaps?
Many people I’ve chat with love this idea due to obsolete gear from testing and hope for it.

there’s already ascended salvaging going to come in HoT

There is but it’s tethered to fractals and seems to be more about getting materials for the new legendary system than just reclaiming materials from ascended pieces you regret making, which is what I would like and may be more what OP wants too.

i would say it would just take normal fractal relics to purchase the salvage kits. They might make multiple ways of obtaining them though. They haven’t really elaborated much on this

why dont you just reforge the ascended pieces to what ever you want mate

Because all that does is change thes stats, what I want is to recoup part of the time gold and materials I wasted on items I no longer want.
If you need the full context I was working on a set of celestial ascended for my elementalist prior to the new trait system. The new trait system torpedoed my build and has led to that character being effectively shelved, so I no longer need or want those ascended pieces, and would prefer to return those assets to a more liquid state.
