Fractal Weapons have no salvage warning
Just curious… was the fractal skin on an exo? on a rare? Because if you transmuted the fractal weap with a masterwork/rare/normal, you wouldn’t be getting a warning in any case, would you?
Anything of masterwork quality or higher has a warning and you need to confirm that you want to salvage.
The sword I had was the same as when it dropped – level 80 exotic with no bonus (green) stats and an empty sigil slot (this forces you to use a transmutation crystal if you want an actual functioning weapon). :P
