salvaging items question
Nope. Only the quality of the salvage kit matters.
But salvaging items does lead to better magic find.
Magic Find only affects the loot that drops from foes. Its affect is subtle and can only be easily seen over controlled tests involving 100s of foe deaths.
(It also will affect certain PvP loot, which is meant to approximate foe loot. It is further presumed to affect loot from Hidden Bandit Chests, although this is nearly impossible to test. I am not aware of any other exceptions that haven’t already been disproved.)
