How to get Reclaimed Metal Plate?
They do drop from salvaging fine and masterwork reclaimed weapons, although the drop rate is rather low. Make sure to salvage each and every reclaimed weapon you get playing through the new areas.
Buy a yellow or pray for RNG.
Or play sPvP.
Those are your choices. No other way around it.
Buy lots of cheapie blue or green reclaimed items and salvage them in bulk.

Are they tradeable? I can’t find any on TP tracking sites like gw2spidy or gw2bltc
Wiki says it’s Account Bound.
Don’t buy green or blues they don;t drop any i salvage 100% of my loot -unless its at lest a gold-
i must of salvaged at lest 100’s or more of them in the last few weeks 20+ a day
only one i ever seen was from a yellow i got on the first day i got H.O.T have not got one since ! ether they changed it to as rare as a ascended drop from TQ or it’s bugged
I can confirm that the plates are salvageable from blue/green reclaimed weapons. I salvage all of my blue/green drops and have only ever gotten one plate though.
Salvaging green reclaim weapons in bulk is the cheapest way to get a lot of plates. Only need a 3% salvage rate for greens to be cheaper than buying rares for reclaimed plates. The salvage rate for reclaim platse from blues is to low in comparison. Buy and salvage a rare weapon only if you just want one of the plated/machined weapons.

So can I. Figured they only came out of the yellows as well, so I was suprised when it showed up in my inventory. Granted its only been one out of all the blue/green reclaimed weapons I’ve gotten since HoT came out, but it is possible, just really rare.
Please give us a keyring…
I’m at 45 mastery unlocked and haven’t seen one yet.
Don’t say buy a yellow.
You can do some PvP and grind the Magus Fall Reward track over and over again if you want to feel like you earn it and don’t want to waste a ton of money or rely on rng to get it. However, you need to do Verdant Brink/Auric Basin/Tangled Depth reward track before you can unlock Magus Falls.

The green reclaimed is probably around 1% maybe 1.5%. I’ve never seen a blue reclaimed give a plate. The plate from rare is almost guaranteed (depends on salvage kit type) and is always 1. That’s why the rares are so expensive on the tp. I’ve only seen 2? reclaimed rares and my MP is 120+ for reference – I don’t need xp anymore just more MP but it’s such a pain :P
I have a friend that does the Great Tree Flax Farm and on the way to that there are two chests side by side that he opens. He says he’s gotten five or six rare reclaimeds out of those chests (in a couple of weeks of daily runs with several alts, so it’s not a huge chance).
I haven’t been doing that particular chest run, just opening what chests I see here and there. So far I’ve had one plate drop per elite collection and had to buy the other two via rares on the TP for the weapon, out of two elite weapons collected. (ok, I am not quite at two, because I need more aurillium for the exalted part and one more DS run to get the machined part for Dark Harvest, but the plated needs are met).
Thanks for the tip on the PvP reward track! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
The green reclaimed is probably around 1% maybe 1.5%.
Its higher than that, out of the ~40 plates I gotten all were from blues/greens but the last one. When I was deciding how to get reclaimed plate I did some test. Most of the time I was getting more reclaimed plates from salvaging a large amount of greens for the same value as a rare reclaimed weapon.

It’s RNG at work again, I swear. I’ve got some 141 mastery points worth of skill, so yes, I’ve spent PLENTY of time in the zone, and I’ve salvaged everything, but I still only have 2 tokens. It’s starting to look like precursors to me… 3+ years in game and still none for me.
