Guild Wars 2

According to in-game tool tips, the Black Lion Salvage Kit has a 10% chance for rare mats while the Master’s has a 25% chance. Is this correct? I understand that the main benefit of the Black Lion is that it guarantees upgrade salvage, but the wiki says it also gives the “best chance of quality material returns” on the Trading Company page. Which truly gives better chance at rare mats?

Here’s the wiki link:

From personal experience that 10% is much higher. At first I thought that it was a typo and they left a 0 out as it should be 100%, but after salvaging about 10~ things yesterday all at once, all level 80, 8 out of those 10 gave me a higher material.

If this was truly 10% chance then I would have to be extremely lucky to get a 10% chance to happen 8 times out of 10. My personal thought is it’s prolly closer to 75% with the results I received.

I’m hoping I can get someone to say for sure, as anecdotal evidence has seemed to swing in both directions from what I’ve heard.

I’m saying for sure it’s not 10%. People in map in Lion’s Arch map chat believe it’s 100% and the only reason why I’m not saying it’s that high is from personal testing. Hundreds of people, on both my server and overflow, and none have said anything against it being higher than 10% when testing. My guild has also tried it, and every single one of them that has tested has gotten an upgrade.

I’ve got other people telling me for sure Master’s is better. So I’m hoping someone in the know can say something officially since there’s so much conflicting information out there.
