Guild Wars 2

Certain gear has an 100% chance when salvaging with a certain salvage kit to provide all its materials.

I’ve already reported this in game a few months ago, but it doesn’t seem to be fixed because i salvaged one of these items a few days ago expecting it to no longer be an issue, and 2 more today to confirm, and the bug is still there.

I’d like for this highly exploitable issue to be addressed soon so I’ve come to these forums. If anyone from arenanet would like specifics please send me a message.
EDIT: Sent the report to exploits@arena.net instead.

…are you using a Black Lion Salvage Kit…?

Not going to go into specifics, but the bug is with the resources, such as silk scaps, not just whatever sigil it has.

If you’re not going to go into specifics, no wonder the bug never got fixed.

There’s no point of going into specifics with people who have no power to fix the issue. Like I said, if someone at arenanet wants specifics they can message me and we can discuss the issue in private.

You know you can report it ingame, right?

I did a while back and despite the potential abuse, its still not addressed. I’m posting here to make sure they are aware of it.

Just PM me with a list of the items and I’ll contact Anet for you!

Email all exploits with as much detail on it as possible to: exploits@arena.net

“Certain gear has an 100% chance” “to provide all its materials.” “such as silk scaps, not just whatever sigil it has.”
I guess I’m confused about what this means. Like, how much is ‘all’? at minimum, light armor requires 2 bolts of silk + 1 thick leather square + 1 spool of silk. Except light only gives cloth back when salvaged, so 2 bolts of silk take 6 silk scrap to make. Are you saying some items always give 6 silk scrap when salvaged?
Level-appropriate light coats will give 3.1 silk scraps on average when salvaged. I never bothered with min/max you could get, but it’d be reasonable to guess it’s 1-5. But coats take more cloth than 6…
Unless you mean it’s guaranteed to give a silk scrap? To which I would say that every item will do that.

If you don’t want the wider gw2 player base to comment on your post the forum is the worst place to put it, I would suggest email or support ticket to ascertain whether or not this is intended behaviour, speaking only direct to them can get you what you seek.

Thanks, I think I’ll do that.

Well a while back there were some weapons that were always returning Orichalcum Ore if you salvaged them with a fine kit. Hopefully this is a new bug and not a return of that one.

I think you should whisper the all details to me so I can test it, see if it’s been fixed yet
