Uh, percentages don't have problems. 80% means roughly 8 out of 10, 20% roughly 2 out of 10, not get nothing 20,000 times then have it all succeed non stop for the next 80,000. It's on a per salvage basis, not per 10k salvage basis.I am not taking this with a grain of salt, upgrade salvage it what allows you to reimburse yourself for gathering materials, minimizing the loss you take from not selling the equipment at a vendor (runes take up your inventory space in the items place).My post does not, ask is this actually an issue? It is an issue, period. I am simply wondering if it is affecting players globally, server wide, or just myself. Then what do we need to do to remedy the situation.

They changed salvage awhile back you instead destroy them for materials now and you only get them recovered with black lion kits or upgrade extractors now mate. If that were true, I would of got 0, not 2, and I was under the impression that upgrade extractors are meant for the pink infusions, not standard runes.

I recently got back into GW2, and have been attempting to salvage a lot of gear with Runes (upgrades) inside of them.I noticed that I was barely getting any runes at all using Master's Salvage Kits, so I started keeping track.After 30+ salvages of equipment with at least one rune inside I received 2 runes after salvaging. Masterwork's Salvage Kits claim to have an 80% chance of salvaging upgrades, I should of ended up with somewhere around 20, not 2 (about 10% chance), or even more than that.It seems like all the salvage tools I use have the ~5% chance of salvaging from Crude Salvage Kit, or at least worse than Basic (20%) chance. Is this a known issues where the salvage kits have a bug?Has the definition of upgrades changed since last time I played?Is this because I have purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition, but none of the Expansions?Is there something else going on with my character / account?What can we or I do to salvage upgrades out of equipment properly once again? Thank you for any help or advise you can give.ForbiddenSoul
