Guild Wars 2

A trident I bought for 99 cents (copper) was found to be not salvageable when i bring my mystic kit to it. It was a white (basic) lv 70 zerker stat one worth 40 copper merch value.

Devs please find a solution to this. There were other for 11+ silver (not that I’ll buy those) as well. Same type.

This is something that I’ve seen many times. This is the result of vendor whites being sellable on the TP. The items you can buy at the vendors are unsalvageable, and yet the game still lets you sell them on the TP. They can’t be salvaged and they are absolutely indistinguishable from other items that are salvageable.

The profile of these weapons and armors are that they are whites, they are of a level divisible by 5 (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 etc), and they can’t be salvaged. I know of ways to abuse this, which I don’t, but I’ve been concerned about this issue for awhile and I’ve reported it in game when I noticed it.

One time a patch bug made them salvageable with far better results too (yet far too costly vs benefit)! That was fixed, but this hasn’t?
