[edit] Hides

Don't forget that stuff like Hides (Minotaur, Charr, etc..) stack also. --Rainith 01:43, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)

Errr .... yes, I forgot those. Do those ever hold any runes? I don't think so. --Tetris L 01:45, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)

I don't think they do. They aren't "armor" more of "skins" so it wouldn't make sense for them to have runes (IMO). I would have put it in, but I don't have time, busy at work.  :( --Rainith 01:47, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)

Done. --Tetris L 01:54, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)

[edit] Rare items guaranteed to have runes?

This article says blue+ items will always have runes. Is this due to a recent update? I haven't played heavily in a while, but I got blue items without runes all the time ("Precious" or "Highly Salvagable" items, for example). —Tanaric 12:47, 4 November 2005 (EST)

This is the article for "Salvage Items" and in that context, yes, a Grawl Armor that has any color other than white has a rune. If it's blue it's minor, if it's purple it's minor or major and if it's gold it's major or superior. This is not about "salvaging items" wher a blue staff may simply be "precious." --Karlos 12:52, 4 November 2005 (EST)

Salvage armor can't have mods like those, anyway. But yes, there was an update that changed it... but that was in June. The patch notes aren't very explicit, but I think it was the June 1st update. Long before you left, heh. --Fyren 13:06, 4 November 2005 (EST)

[edit] Salvage Item Graphics

Ok, I got kinda bored, so I've got 7 generic salvage item pics that we can use for the pictures for the salvage items:

I'm not sure if an "armor" always has the same graphic or not, I think I recall some having both the "Medium" and "Heavy". --Rainith 00:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit- Forgot about the spider webs. --Rainith 01:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit- And the 2nd type of hide and the "meat" for lack of a better term. --Rainith 01:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

You are missing... Candy Cane Shard!!! d-: -PanSola 13:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh, yeah, well if we start getting multiple items with that graphic then I'll worry about that one. Also please check out the discussion I'm trying to start in GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Items#Salvage Items. I'd like to get feedback on this from people. If I don't get any in a few days, I'll just assume that everyone loves it, thinks I'm a genius for suggesting it, and will go forward with it from there.  :P --Rainith 13:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Nice! Question: Is there any difference between the two types of Hides, other than the icon? Are both stacking and never containing any runes? -- 16:51, 23 February 2006 (CST)

No difference between the two other than the graphics. Both stack, have a single sell price, and have no runes. --Rainith 00:58, 24 February 2006 (CST)

[edit] Half-eaten mass with rune?

Half-eaten minor vigor :( Can this be confirmed by anyone else? -- Ledrug 02:48, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

contrary to poular beliefe some half eaten things do contain runes althow verry rare i recently picked up a half eaten mass of minor viger i dont know if it was a glitch or what but thay do exist. -- (added by anon [[User::70.59.154.158|70.59.154.158]])

I'm more inclined to believe popular beliefs than a single anonymous claim of a half-eaten thingy with a vigor rune. --Ab.Er.Rant 03:02, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

I might believe it if I see a screen shot. I'll believe it if I see it in game. --Rainith 10:04, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Oh, thanks, thats my rune, I couldn't find it after got eat-- lost in the woods--Daniel Rendat 15:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weapons

Found out that you can also Salvage WEAPONS too, to get like other stuff like twigs, etc.... --Faqcorner 20:37, 14 August 2006 (CDT)

Yes, you can salvage most anything (quest items excepted). This article is just about the items the game lists as a Salvage item. You might want to look at the Salvage article. --Rainith 10:46, 15 August 2006 (CDT)

[edit] White Items With Minor Runes?

I thought it to be impossible but a member of my alliance said that he picked up white Grawl Necromancer and Ranger gears and found two minor runes while doing some farming. Has anyone else gotten runes from white salvage armors? Perhaps it's just a glitch within Grawl armor? He assured me he was not mistaking the armor for blues however, this would be impossible to confirm via screen shot.--The King Tarosian 02:30, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

[edit] Expert Salvaging Change?

Under salvaging, it says "Using an Expert Salvage Kit or Superior Salvage Kit will result in either a larger amount of common crafting material or ...." but recently that seems to have been *reversed*! I generally receive only 1-4 common materials from expert salvaging weapons out in the forest or jade sea, and the system seems especially fond of giving me one granite for my expert salvage of even a blue weapon. Standard salvaging kits give the usual 10-15 granite, dust, wood, etc. --Carmine (not a user as of yet...perhaps will register >.> )

I think whoever wrote the page is incorrect: both normal and expert salvages should give the same amount of common materials. (Not a fifty five 23:06, 6 October 2006 (CDT))

[edit] Nightfall rumor

I've been hearing over and over that mods will be able to be salvaged in nightfall. I'm guessing this is a rumor from a mixup in definition of mods and upgrades They also say you'd be able to choose which mod/upgrade you'd get. While the mod thing sounds a bit far-fetched, I've also heard that mods will be called "inscriptions" instead which kinda supports the rumor o.O (Not a fifty five 23:05, 6 October 2006 (CDT))

Yes it's true, but you probably know that already now! Randomtime 16:27, 8 January 2007 (CST)

[edit] Warning

"Warning: Some players sell unidentified salvage items to other players so they can use it to unlock runes. There is a possible scam to be aware of when buying such items." This isn't mentions in the scams page, is it out of date, or am I missing it and it's there? Randomtime 16:28, 8 January 2007 (CST)

It's listed in the trade scams section as follows

Beware of purchasing unidentified gold salvage items. The unidentified superior rune may have already been salvaged out of it, leaving unidentified armor with no rune attached. --Politicalmind 14:22, 26 February 2007 (CST)

Oh right Randomtime 12:35, 3 March 2007 (CST)

[edit] Ethereal Garmet

I found a Ethereal Garmet in a chest in Vabbi, The miror of Lyss, and I saw that it wasn't on the list. I don't know how to show pictures, but heres a link: http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/scythe12/etherealgarmet.jpg

hi, i added it. also added the braycers, because skree drop them. (Ps: There are two times the same picture files with diffrent names, once the Ethereal Garmet and for another thing the celestial essence.) -- Zerpha The Improver 09:26, 26 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit] AL effect on salvage

Does the AL on those items have any direct corolation to the number of items you can salvage ore the chance of the item getting salvaged into rare crafting material? I would think that makes sense, but I cannot find anything on wiki that confirms this (although the reason for that could be my bad research skills). Eronth 13:20, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

well, high end armors are 39 or 40, and the only diffrence i can see here is that, if you get a purple one, it has always a major rune. if you get a gold one, you'll get a superior rune. -- Zerpha The Improver

I have an inkling that it relates to it's merchant value.

I don't have any hard data but I believe a higher AL on an armor salvage item will indeed give you a slightly higher chance for better salvage of materials...it definitely increases merchant value in any case. (T/C) 17:08, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
