Salvaging Runes from Armor
Yes, you can salvage them (destroying the armor in the process). BUT, your success rate depends on the type of salvage kit you use. You’d want the Black Lion salvage kit for 100% success. See:

Remember that you can also get just the runes with the Dungeon tokens, from the same vendor that gives the armor and weapons as well.
i’m pretty sure you can just buy the rune from the TA merchant. also keep in mind that you will lose the armor when you salvage it
I feel stupid now. LOL! Thanks guys!
