Reclaimed Metal Plates?
Sorry for being a noob but may I ask what are reclaimed weapons? Been trying to get those metal plate too
i salvage 3 rare reclaimed daggers and got 3 plates, i think rare weapons are 100% chance to drop this metal plates…
It’s just a drop like any other gear you would wear.
Looted off:
Mobs, Events, Area Specific Chests (ie. Airship Cargo, Tarir Chests etc) or bags.
I have yet to get one either. Was starting to think it would only drop after starting some collection somewhere.
They seem fairly rare. I’ve done a fair amount of DEing in Maguuma and I’ve only gotten one of these.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about, so it must be pretty rare.
I have 29 plates in my bags right now. I got these by buying 33 yellow reclaimed weapons of off the tp before people knew what they were and they went from 60s to 7 gold. Buying yellow reclaimed weapons and salvaging them is a sure fire way to get these, it is just expensive now
you can give those plates + other staff like layline crystals at a vender when you kill the final boss at dragon’s stand and buy a weapon. some weapons need x2 some need 3. ( plated weapons. " plated Longbow " for example if i dont write the name wrong.
I know for sure that you need that weapon for the specialazation collection so you can take ascended weapon from achivment.
atleast for dragonhunter.
Reclaimed Metal Plates are extremely rare from blue and green Reclaimed weapons, but you’re guaranteed to get them from rares.
The best way to get rare Reclaimed weapons to salvage, besides the Trading Post, is to open as many chests as you can in Heart of Thorns zones. Tangled Depths is generally the best place to do this, as it has far more chests in various hidden nooks and crannies than the other zones do, but every zone has some to find (as evidenced by the Strongbox achievements).
There’s a chance to get a rare Reclaimed weapon as ‘bonus loot’ in any of those chests. When you get one, it’ll appear at the bottom of the list of things you pick up, under even the Empyreal Fragments. It’s still rare, but there’s a lot of chests that you can open, so given time you’ll get enough for your Plated weapons, once you find a good route to run daily. I have a run in Tangled Depths from the zone entrance through the Flax farm and beyond, which has seven chests to open and takes around ten minutes. Others might know even more lucrative routes!
