Guild Wars 2

Is it intended that we cannot salvage our backpiece or is it just a bug?

I hate getting them as drops because I cant salvage and they dont sell for much.

would be nice to be able to salvage the guild backpacks – after finally crafting my ascended book piece, the backpack is now just taking up space, and because it was 5 gold, i feel like holding onto it (and not plat-out destroying it), waiting for the day i can salvage it, hoping for ectos.

Is this an oversight by the devs or intentional? It just seems like it’s impractical now to have these unsalvageable backs.

Are back pieces world drop, or only in specific maps/dugeons? I have never seen one dropped.

Back pieces do indeed drop, at least one dropped for me just before the Halloween event. I think the Wiki refers to these as back braces – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Back_brace#Acquisition

<edit>I might not be remembering this correctly, I think for me this was not a mob drop but an item from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Down_the_Hatch</edit>;

Yeah I think you got that from a story quest or something, there’s no back drops I have ever heard of other than rumors of a chest drop in a fractal dungeon, and since they only come from either guild armorsmiths, or story missions they prob fall under the realm of karma vendor items and most of those can’t be salvaged. They can, however, be put in the mystic toilet, but no telling what a back item will yield you from there, prob some useless weapon you can sell to a vendor for 50c lol.

If looking at the ones on the Trade Post, they are labeled “Spine guards” – not sure if it’s one or two words.

i spent an hour looking for “back piece”.

Ah yeah I have seen those, but I thought those could be crafted? Idk it’s not a common thing you hear about

pls get this fixxed, i do regularly dungeon runs and have gotten whilst about 8 back items that are taking my bank space away due to being uniquely unsalvagable
