Question magic find max?
Thats ridiculous.
Team Deathmatch for PvP – Raise the AoE cap for WvW – More unique events for PvE
How much you reckon you spent on luck? Used ectos?
How well does that MF work at that level?
@Vol, well that’s a tricky one, when I started actually working on it, I had 100k points. which is nothing so I just started buying blues and greens at cost by the 100s and spent about 170g, after selling mats back to tp, just for the first million points, realized this was not what I wanted. Then started checking around on other items. So I started playing it a little smarter bid on things I felt had the best return or profitable and actually started to make a profit from it. Not much profit but a little. After about a hundred thousand salvages I started learning what was best to buy.
It takes about 4.2 mil to max so by the time I was done it only cost 141g. Imo that’s pretty cheap, but even better to know it can be maxed for free. And there is no doubt that was the lose I had from the first million points.
It took 9 days with a little over 6 hours a day working tp/salvaging and reselling.
Now I don’t really do much on tp with reg mats so really never paid attention to those prices, what I did find out, the tp prices on general mats swing around more than a good pole dancer.
I did not use ecto. with that in mind. All I can say is huge thank you to Anet for the salvage meter. I can’t imagine doing that many constantly having to buy kits.
I only did greens after the first million points. I did keep track if anyone is interested on avg. amount of points per 1000 salvages. it was about 30.11 per salvage adding all the exotic/rare/master essence ect together.
@Sola, imo it makes a considerable difference. I didn’t think it would at first really. But did temple runs for 2-2.5 hrs with just 357% which is easy to maintain with a cookie, ended up with 44 rares 4 exotics and the exotics were from kills not from chest or bags. First time I actually got to see an exotic chest waiting to be picked up.

What do you mean by salvage meter? Are you referring to the luck meter? The achievement point bar through salvaging? Or what about the copper fed salvage o matic?
On that note, what salvage kit did you use, and what level of items did you salvage?
@Fende, my apologizes I called it the wrong thing, yes I was talking about the copper fed matic. for some reason the word meter was in my head.
At first I did every lvl of every item, that was not good. I found items (depending on what they were) from 25-65 to have the best returns.
What I did was look for items that had a chance of 1-2 did a low end of assuming I would get 1.5 avg of that mat per salvage. Check on the current price of that mat on tp deducted the tax. And if it was something I could sell back just to break even I would bid on it. I spent as much time scouring the tp for buys many times looking over a thousand pages of whatever the tp would put in after I did a search. Since the market fluctuates so much, if I suggest to buy one thing and it doesn’t work out. I don’t want someone doggin me over it, so I have refrained from saying what I found to be best to buy. There was a lot of trial and error.
The shear amount of salvages needed was what really caught me off guard.

Yep, did a little bit of testing (a comparatively TINY sample size compared to yours) and some math and my numbers are just about in line with yours. Thanks!
Thank you for confirming that, I only kept track of 3328 salvages and I think it gave about 98,000 points., So it seems once you hit the 30k per point mark it would take roughly 1000 green salvages per point. I have no idea how many it would take for the blues. I was doing those at the first and know it was much lower.
