Guild Wars 2

Title says it. We can salvage armor and Chak weapons but we cannot salvage the Auric weapons we get as rewards for the story. Please fix. Thank you.

There are many other story rewards you can’t salvage. Plus, the story Auric weapons seem to be treated differently from the crafted ones.

In terms of the salvagability of items, Anet is consistently inconsistent.

It’s a big problem with this game. Everything should be able to be sold and if not ,it should be able to be salvaged into useful or items that can be sold. The amount of stuff that I just throw away because they in some way locked is ridiculous.

Pretty sure I just tossed them into the forge and sold whatever came out.

If not just junk it or forge it no biggie.

The Auric weapons can at least be forged, but I agree. They SHOULD be salvageable. It’s not like they give any kind of special reward over existing Exotics (and Exotics themselves are almost starting to go the way of Rares; they’re not viewed as being particularly noteworthy drops any more, unless they’re Precursors).

One other item set that needs to get looked at is the various HoT Elite-Spec armors (like the Dragonhunter’s Gauntlet, Tempest’s Loop etc.) which not only can’t be salvaged, but they can’t be forged OR sold. So if you already have Ascended gear, your reward for completing that achievement is an item that you can only destroy, because it’s utterly useless. Doesn’t that sound absolutely insane to you??

Another similar item are the Ascended amulets you get for completing the various Order armor/weapon collections. For some bizarre reason, these Amulets can’t be salvaged, and I don’t need 3 separate Crusader/Marauder stat Ascended amulets. Why can’t I salvage them for more chances at the (ridiculously) expensive Salvaged Excellence?

My biggest issue is I had transmuted the Wanderer’s Auric bow into a Stormbow, then got my Yaldir and wanted to salvage out my sigils for my ascended bow…had 4g worth of sigils that I lost because I couldn’t extract them. But then, 4g is a drop in the bucket as 2 days of dailies covers it 100%.
