Magical Salvaging changes (9/11)

[CapnSquig-WHA]

I thought I would cut out the changes and put them here for you all to discuss.


Magical Salvaging
*
Players with this skill can break down items that are of uncommon rarity or higher into fragments and essences. Fragments are the main ingredient in Talisman Making.

*
When a player salvages an item, the rarity of the obtained fragment is one rarity lower than the salvaged item. There is a small chance that the player will get a fragment of the same rarity as the salvaged item.

*
When a player salvages an item, he or she gets to choose which stat bonus to extract from the item. The resultant fragment is of that type.

*
When a player salvages an item, that item is destroyed.

*
Players can refine essences by right clicking on stacks of those items in their backpacks. Ten Echoes will refine into one Whisper. Five Whispers will refine into one Magic Essence. Magic Essences are used in Talisman Making.

*
Tier 1 and 2 monsters can now also drop very-badly damaged equipment (Shattered, Ruined, and Sundered Equipment). These uncommon items can't be repaired, but can be salvaged. Players will be able to skill-up Salvaging using these items.

*
There are Salvaging trainers in each chapter 2 and in each city.

doesn't look like they changed anything, just told people what it does :p

I find lots of green items that can not be salvaged. My Bright mage is level 13 with a salvage skill of 20 and a talisman skill of 7. i get more items that say i am too low to salvage than i can. Old gear that is being replaced should be salvageble and most quests items. I get Shattered, Ruined, and Sundered but one of out 10 may let me salvage other just say your skill is too low. Maybe make other gear that is not uncommon salvageable just for skill ups to a say 20 skill or what even to catch up if items are going to drop in sections as in tiers 1 for skill 1-10 and so on. As of right now this trade skill is not somthing you can just go out and spend time working on.

They need to increase the drop rate of the damaged items, or allow us to salvage anything with a stat on it .. im level 9 and has salvaged everything since level 2 and I have not gotten a fragment yet .. all I get are essences.

Ya... I got a blue Item from RvR tonight. It was level 9 and I was level 8 and it wouldn't let me salvage it.

It didn't give me a message about saying I was too low, but I don't understand why it wouldn't let me salvage it =/

I dont think your level matters as much as you salvaging skill. Some items, reguardless of rarity (color) cannot be salvaged. However, not receiving any kind of message telling you why is frustrating.

Ya, the no message part is the worst. They need to have another pass through over the crafting early into release, imo.

On lvl 9 I have a lot of fragments, but I have to buy essence to make anything. Aso, I have never ever dropped any other component for talisman making.

It would be really great if they made it so that anything green or better guaranteed a fragment (with maybe some essences) and that you could salvage white quality items but they would only yield echoes, whispers, or essences. Maybe a lower chance of getting a skill up when salvaging white quality items.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that the other components for talisman making come from scavenging and butchering.

I'm almost level 30 for Salvaging and there's this 'sundered equipment' which I've been carrying since I was level 4 (I'm now level 13) which I still can't salvage cos I'm too low level. >_<

I think , they mean that your crafting skill lvl is to low, not your actual lvl :).
