Guild Wars 2

I’m a little confused about crafting, I know how to craft and have created a few things however it’s the salvaging I’m a little confused about. I’ve looked around on the internet and some sources say you can get crafting material such as scraps of Jute from salvaging Armor however I am unable to salvage armor. Is it only certain armor that can be salvaged as I’ve tried a few but when I double click on salvage kit the icon goes red when I hover over the armor.

In order to salvage you need to get a Salvage Kit. Most vendors that sell axe picks and such have the basic ones, but there are different qualities that have better chances of salvaging upgrades or not destroying gems. I will usually use a Fine to salvage something if I want the gem back. They follow the same color levels as regular items. You use the salvage kit the same way you would apply a gem to an item, double click. There are certain items that can not be salvaged though such as soulbound items.

I’ve used the salvage kits on some things but they never work with armor and I guess the soulbound explains it
