Guild Wars 2

Pretty much what the title says. I’ve found quite a few yellow items, but I can’t use most of them because of class restrictions. And I’ve got better equipment for those that I could use.

So what should I do with them? Sell them to NPC vendors? Just salvage them? Or will people pay a lot for in on the Black Lion? Or something more useful?

Either sell them at trading posts or save them for the Mystic Forge gamble if you’re feeling lucky.

I usually salvage them. You can get ectoplasm fragments out of them, which sell pretty well.

But use the Black Lion Salvage Kits only to get the most ectoplasm. I think ectoplasm is going for about 15-17 silver on the TP? (haven’t checked that in a awhile though)

i was selling them on the TP, but after getting 3 of the same rares after a few events, i decided i would keep a few of them in storage, in case i need quick money or roll a character that is unsuitable to grind. my main gets the required gear for second character, and the second character doesn’t feel like grinding its toosh off.

might even be able to get a nice rare set going for my next character (whichever i choose)

salvage! While you may not need ectos, you never know if that sparkly weapon in LA might pique your interested ;P

there a few things you can do.

1) salvage for globs of ectoplasm! best bet is using a mystic of black lion’s salvage kit. i’ve tested and i didn’t personally feel one was better than the other. know that it can yield 0 – 3 ectos for a lvl 68+ rare item

2) sell on the TP for gold!

3) give to a loved one. : ))) and they will love you back.

i am planning to craft a legendary so i need a butt ton of ectos. if you’re planning to craft some named exotics, you’ll need a butt ton as well. so my general practice is check selling price on TP for said rare. compare it against going rate for ectos (around 15 – 16s i believe), and then decide. if lot higher, i’ll sell the rare and just buy the ectos. if around the same, i might gamble. if lower, i’ll probs salvage. though if you’re just making gold and not into crafting, then always almost better to sell on the TP.

however, also take note on what sigil / rune is in the item, and again, check TP to see if that upgrade is highly sought after. if it can sell for a pretty penny on it’s own, i might use black lion’s salvage kit (100% to retrieve upgrades if i am not mistaken) and hope for ectos, and then sell the upgrade component on the TP.

this is my general practice at least. : ))
