Guild Wars 2

I just hit rank 20, and can now access the Dolyak rewards. What is the best way to go about getting arcane slivers to obtain the tier three set?

Do I buy a bunch of chests (do I get copper, silver, or gold?)?

Or do I have to make items in the forge, salvage those, and then make new items from them to get the slivers?

I’m confused about how this works.

Sliver tier items will give you slivers, so making things in the forge to salvage is not a good idea. Gold gives you the best odds for top tiered items, but obviously cost the most. Find what you feel comfortable with doing. Personally I like using silver chests, though slivers are hard to come by.

So the premise is to salvage top tier items from chests, which gives me slivers, which I then use to make different items of the same tier in the forge?

Like trading several items for a more aesthetically pleasing item?
