As you can see (and most of this is from Free Tournament chests [Silver/Gold], with some regular Gold chests from the vendor and silver chests) I have gotten out of a large.. LARGE number of chests, lots of dust, and arcane orbs, barely any crystals, and no slivers, is this just my bad luck? Anyone else getting this? I don’t want to use the orbs to craft because the slivers give the gear I like, so i’m sitting on around 200 that i can’t sell or trade or do anything with along with about 70 deer tokens haha, I wonder if maybe a currency exchange system could be implemented? Like 25 orbs for a crystal, 10 crystals for a sliver or something so your unusable materials don’t go to waste? Or maybe just give them a cheap vendor price, idk, it is kinda frustrating though pvping for hours and hours on end to salvage tournament chests and gold chests for just countless orbs. D;

Thoughts & feedback? Anyone with similar experiences?

Using a PvP Salvage Kit obtained from the vendor(s) available to your rank (100 glory) you can salvage excess pvp items for rank tokens, orbs, crystals, slivers, dust, and armor tokens, which you combine in the pvp forge to make either gear or things like boosters and finishers, there are sites that show you the recipes to make the gear you want based on your rank.

The reason is:

You salvage Orbs out of common items and craft common items by using Orbs.
You salvage Crystals out of uncommon items and craft uncommon items by using Crystals.
You salvage Slivers out of rare items and craft rare items by using Slivers.

Naturally you will have way more common items than uncommon items and even less rare items (you will only get 0-2 rare items per box if I remember correctly).
Of course there is RNG and luck involved, because it can happen that you salvage 10 rare items and only get dust and tokens.
But all in all, you will have tons of dupicate common items and far less rare items… thus you will have tons of orbs and not that many slivers.
