Guild Wars 2

It is probably already been asked and sai multiple times.
but when you have only lv 80 carachters it is almost impossible to get tier from 2 to 4 clothes and leather unless you mystic forge karma item and than salvage them.
so here are my suggestion to set this mats along the line of ores and wood:

1 drop from plants and animals
2 special open world nodes (it would be amusing to steal sheets freshly put to dry outside because sheets are more precious tha gold ores)
3 direct salvage of karma item (i don’t get why should i first mystic forge them and than salvage, it’s a long boring process)
4 loot find in low level map could give you low level pieces more often than your level pieces (there are so many lv80 maps, why can’t low level maps give me low level mats?)

I’ve always found it a bit strange that lower tier mats are more rare and more expensive than the top tier stuff, hence people saving up bags to open on mid-level toons. It’s a particular problem with leather because you can’t target specific nodes like you can with ore and wood.

The solution is really simple. Anyone salvaging stuff should have a chance of getting mats of that tier and lower. Sorted.
