[Salvage-o-matic sale - 350g worth it?]

From how it was worded, i also thought it has a 100% chance to salvage a rune. I mean... Runes are upgrades, no? :tongue:But yeah, why would it function the same as Upgrade Extractor, true.Weird wording.

Yep. But you can salvage runes with other salvaging tools, including the copper- and silver-fed, so now I wonder what the point of this product is at all.

Kind of feeling ripped off.

I'd suggest the wording for the Runecrafter be changed to "20% chance of rarer materials. 100% chance to salvage materials from item upgrades, such as runes and sigils."

Honestly, after 10 months, I'm still getting my bearings in this game. There's so much to learn and so much to know. I didn't know there was another upgrade extractor. That's what I thought this was. For people who've been around a long time, and are familiar with all the rotating offerings in the gem store, it's probably less confusing.

Oh. Thanks for clarification. That wasn't the way I understood it when it was advertised, or from the product description. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent the money. To me "20% chance of rarer materials. 100% chance of salvaging upgrades" leads one to believe you get the upgrades salvaged out of the device, just like you get the materials.

Maybe a less confusing product description is warranted. I sure wouldn't have purchased a lucent mote producing device.

@Veprovina.4876 said:It's about 350g for copper and runecrafter salvage-o-matic.Gold to gem conversion price is about 350g. Is it worth getting?

I have the copper, silver, and now the runecrafter. The runecrafter - which I got yesterday - guarantees 100% salvage of item upgrades. I put three things through it and it destroyed every single upgrade. I submitted a bug, but no idea where that's going.

For now, I wouldn't buy it, as it doesn't seem to work as advertised. Once it's working, I'm interested to see how much value I get out of it.

[Gem Store Not Working]

Same symptoms here. CE and TP work, but Gem Store is a blank screen.

Search for the "Storyline Disconnects-Merged" thread. The latest "fix" (there are many supposed fixes, but the random nature of the problem can make it hard to pin down) is to add the command line argument "-clientport 443" to the gw2.exe target through a shortcut to the program.

Does it work? Who knows! But it's worth a try right?

Thanks! I will give that a try.

Don't give up on GW2! It's a really fun game besides this stupid mission. Once you get past it, the rest of the storyline is really good. I've had this game for at least 4 or 5 years (I can't remember when I first got the game, but it was a while ago) and I still enjoy playing it and going through the story. So far, my favorite storyline is the Path of Fire one. It is really good and I enjoy it. :) I hope they fix this bug, because I just encountered it today as well but don't give up on the game.

Thanks! I'm finding the game frustrating, tbh. I finished Paths of War and started doing Living World Season 4, but half the time I get kicked out of episodes after crucial battles with a "can't connect to login server" error that makes me do the whole thing over. (I've turned off firewalls and AV and followed all the recommendations. I don't think it's me.) I'll see if it gets less frustrating as time progresses.
