Guild Wars 2

Silver Fox.5632:

Although ecto is an exotic item, the blsk doesnt say “rare”, it says “rarer”, so idk if this matters.

good point, basically all I need to know is whether ectoplasm counts as one of those “Rarer crafting materials”. Can an Anet rep clarify this for us?

gw2wiki stats that ecto is not a rare crafting mat, so theoretically speaking ecto rate does not depend on kit quality. I salvaged 5 rares with the white basic salvage kit (10% of recovering rare mat) and i got 4 ectos.

Does ectoplasm count as a rare crafting material and does a higher tier salvage kit increase the rate of obtaining an ecto? Ive seen mixed responses, can someone give me a clear answer? Thanks.
