Guild Wars 2

I bought some light armor gloves from the trading post to salvage into raw materials.

I do this all the time.

But this time I bought a bunch of gloves, and it won’t let me salvage them.

Spent 5+ gold.

This hasn’t happened to me before.

Is there like a salvaging limit that I hit?

There are some items you can buy that are unsalvageable. They also made a change to starting armor to make it unsalvageable as some people were making chars, salvaging the armor, deleting the char, rinse and repeat. The old armor was also sellable. If it’s starting armor you bought that was put up for sale before the change, then that’s why you can’t salvage it. You can mystic forge them to get something back.

TY. I guess I’ll MF them then. And the item in question was level 53 armor, so I don’t really know why I can’t salvage them.

That was just stupid, I had over 100 pieces of them and roughly 80% of what came out of the MF was the same thing, that I couldn’t salvage.

I had this issue at some point, make sure you don’t have anything in the “inventory full” item claiming mini-GUI, I sometimes have things in there and the game decides to hide it making it so that I can’t salvage anything.
