Guild Wars 2

I am writing on behalf of my client, the Mystic Salvage Kit. For over three years, this rare item has suffered the slings and arrows of poor optics — its icon is identical to that of the Crude Salvage Kit. Mystic has watched over the years as ANet has updated the icons for minor things, including junk items. How many items that are this useful and this important to a player’s financial health are treated this poorly?

It’s time for ANet to finally give the Mystic Salvage Kit the total makeover it deserves. Who’s with me?

Though I am not especially concerned with the Mystic Salvage Kits icon (the yellow border distinguishes it from others, for me), I would like to commend the artists on all the updated icons that have appeared over the last few months. Job well done!

Good luck on your suggestion, though. =)

That raises the question: Illconceived, are you using the option that displays item rarity as border color?

Show rarity or not, a different icon would be nice. Not everyone likes an inventory full of block yellow, green and blue squares.

I hope they change the icon also. It’s too easy to confuse it with the crude kit and have trouble locating it when they are both in your inventory, colored borders or not.

+1

Ive mixed up mystic salvage kit with sharppening stones way more than I want to admit.

It would be cool with me if the icon for msk would be changed.

Yes, I am.

Of all the things in the game that are issues or worse, this has got to be the smallest on my list — it’s really not a big deal in the grand scheme. It’s more of a pet peeve — I’d just like to see it look like a mystic salvage kit; the current icon is just (ahem) crude.
