Guild Wars 2

I have several soulbound items that I can’t salvage. They were obtained via leveling and are either blue or green gear items and even if I try using blue or green salvage kit, there is no option to do it.
I can’t sell them to vendors or via trade shop, so what can I do with them? Is there any other way I could use them instead of destroying them?
If there is nothing I can do but destroying them, how can I identify them instead of buying an appropriate salvage kit and trying to use it on them?

Several items are not salvageable. That includes items you get from the personal story, items you can buy from karma vendors and items you can buy from WvW vendors. If you don’t want to use one (especially since any rune/sigil would be unretrievable) the only use I have found for those items is the mystic forge …

Combine 4 items of equal rarity and you’ll get a random new one which is then sellable or salvageable. Sole exceptions are the WvW items – you cannot even mystic-forge those.

Thank you.

By the way, you can use the lowest salvage kits on everything if you wanted to. So you don’t need the rare kit for rare gear or anything. I generally use the second cheapest (basic it’s called? I don’t even know) on whites, blues and greens and the rare one on rare gear, the black lion one for exotic gear.

Salvage kit quality gives you increased change to get rare of fine salvage material and a better chance to obtain any upgrade on the item. Blacklion Kits will always give you a 100% chance to obtain the upgrade(s) on an item.
