Guild Wars 2

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You are welcome to edit the wiki, as it is only as accurate as the information players provide. =)

I’m not sure but isn’t salvaging often a chance to get said items/materials? Such as Globs of Ectoplasm from rares, etc.

The problem with me updating the wiki is I just don’t know. If other players have salvaged 10 exotic dire gear pieces and received 1 inscription, I will update the wiki to say low chance. If other players are seeing 8/10 then it would be high chance. If no one posts they have salvaged and received an inscription, there maybe a bug in the last patch.

People should only update the wiki with knowledge gained. So far I am in the dark.

Expected Results: Using a Black Lion salvage kit on Dire Exotics, gives a Dire Intricate Gossamer Insignia that can be used for ascended recipes.

Actual result: 4 dire exotics costing 22 gold gave ZERO Dire Intricate Gossamer Insignias.

22g is 3 days of farming for me. Had I known salvaging would not work, I would have bought the inscriptions at the very high price that they cost on the trading post.

If there is a random chance of getting the inscription, then put that in the wiki, with the rate. A random chance could mean I could spend 100g on exotics and get zero inscriptions, not exactly what I would consider good mechanics for a game.

The dire exotics are very expensive.
