Guild Wars 2

so… every major updatet there is always someone who says the ecto drop rate got nerfed.
I was salvaging these items for the ecto and thought I’d post some results to proactively dispell that rumor (although that one time when they really did accidentally reduce ecto drop rate was really really funny):
983 salvages
Mystic Salvage Kit
level 68+ exotics
all post-patch

results:
1222 ecto (1.2431 each)
537 GoDM (0.546 each)
386 insignia/inscription (39.27%, but not all of them were able to drop these)
786 rune/sigil (80%)
178 T6 mats
1,676 T5 mats

before today, my average was 1.25 ecto per exotic. That’s the same thing as 1.2431 considering the sample size. note: these are exotics. not rares. rares drop around 0.85 ecto each, exotics drop around 1.25.

Phew! The rate is just as abysmal as it always was ; )
