Guild Wars 2

I’ve also been experiencing the same crashes on my asura warrior, seems a common problem on asuras? All of them happened near the mystic forge, once even when i was afk in another window.

If the rate was like 10-15%, then yea i wouldn’t notice the discrepancy easily. But since i’m flushing and salvaging masterwork/rares, which come out at a rate of 4:1, and i’m using the basic/master salvage kit respectively, which should have a rate of 20%:80%, by right i should be getting equal amounts of minor and major runes. I don’t. I don’t need to track the data to know that every time i flush all my runes, the majority are major runes.

But since you want some data: Just flushed 76 masterworks, got 2 runes. → 2.6%. Obviously a small sample size, but the deviation from the expected 20% is huge enough to not be bad luck.

According to the tooltip, the basic salvage kit should have a 20% chance of recovering upgrades, ie runes.
However, over the course of salving 100s if not thousands of masterwork items with minor runes, i noticed the rune salvage rate is extremely low. I should be expecting to see about 5 minor runes per 1 salvage kit, but i see 0 most of the time. It seems to have a rate similar to that of the crude salvage kit instead.
