I just created my very first precursor weapon last night, The Hunt, and know that I have to eventually gain it’s Essence. Is there a particular salvage kit that I must use to get it (is it considered an “upgrade”)? I imagine that using a Crude Kit wouldn’t get me what I want, but do I need to use Fine or Master?

I received Black Lion Salvage Kit a few weeks ago from a Chest that I’ve been saving for something special. Would this be the time to use it?

Thanks!

If it’s the 1st step (experimental weapon) any kit works. Do not salvage the actual precursor.

Serious post? WHY would you salvage a precursor?

The hunt is not a full precursor. It is the first intermediate precursor on the way to the legendary shortbow. It has to be salvaged as there is no other way to progress.

Yes, it’s the experimental step, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help.

Black Lion chests are great for salvaging exotics such as The Hunt. Any kit will give you its essence (Even the crude ones), but Rare/Mystic and Black Lion salvage kits give a much higher chance of also returning higher-quality salvage mats (In the case of exotics, a chance of T6 crafting material, Ecto, and Dark Matter)
