FOX.3582 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 https://image.ibb.co/kORKM5/screen.pngArenanet, please do something with those things. Some of us got stacks and stacks and stacks! Make them trade able or something? I don't want to throw them away because they're worth a lot of gems if you want to buy them from the Gemstore. But on the other hand, I can't find good use of them. :(Wheeelp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It is still useful if you want to break exotic drops for the runes/sigils inside to sell and at the same time get a good chance at getting some good salvaged materials.

Cyprien.4208 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 .... I hardly get any. Just the day before yesterday I got one from daily box and I've been waiting for a long time and even used tons of keys before and not got a single one.I could use your luck.

Endless Soul.5178 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have quite a few taking up lots of bank slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysenberry.1869 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have about 20-25 of them piling up. I only use them to salvage exotic drops but since I hardly ever get an exotic drop I end up hardly ever using the Black Lion Kits. I'd love it if the kits were able to be sold (won't happen since they want gem sales) or the exotic drop rate increased (also probably won't happen).

Ryelis.3508 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I wish they were tradeable. In the beginning, I had so many that I didn't know what to do with. Then I learned the best things to salvage from them and now I have maybe 2 left? I don't usually have much spare money to get gems to buy more. I would buy some from the people that have a stash of them in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just salvage anything with them and maybe hold on to one or two stacks.That way you have at least some stuff to sell for a few silver (or maybe more if you get lucky).

Blude.6812 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'd be happy if they could stack into one pile in your bank (ditto for blade shards--they will stack in your storage inventory but not in you personal bank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No item with charges stack.A good middle ground could be creating 100-charge BLSK from combining 4 full kits in MF. They could then even make a 250-charge one by combining two 100-charge with two regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbon.9086 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Buy guaranteed profit items and salvage off trading post, Always a surplus of them, and you're GUARANTEED profit because of price of upgrade, and ontop of that, you get ectos to go along with it!

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have so many I started using them to salvage Rares instead creating Mystic Salvage kits. So, there's that if you are interested.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If you can't find a good use for BL salvage kits, you aren't trying very hard. Do things that accumulate rares (all sorts of content) and salvage with BL kits (instead of selling)Buy rares for under 25s and salvage those.Buy exotics that have sigils/runes worth at least as much as the cost -- you're essentially getting free ecto (GW2 Shinies & GW2 Efficiency both have tools to make finding such exotics a snap).Salvage rares for your friends. Give them ~70 ecto per 80 rares and keep the rest. Or offer to recover sigils/runes for your friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1 character who has 160 slots and half are filled with BLSK and the other half is skins that unlock on receipt of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I finished making the ascended gear that I wanted (needed globs of dark matter, and used BLSK on exotics), they started dropping all over when I was done. I have about 7 of them sitting in the bank now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Do NOT tell anyone I told you this, but you can use them on Globs of Ectoplasm to produce tons of luck you can consume to increase your accoun'ts luck, and crystalline ore that often sell for more than the ectos.You can also buy items that are less expensive than their upgrades, salvage them and sell the upgrades. But I do agree that it is kind of annoying how you can't stack them. I always wondered why gathering tools and kits have a number of uses instead being stacking consumables that get consumed per use.

Thanks for that info, I never realised you could actually salvage ectos down! I just had a read on the ecto salvage research page on the wiki and it's quite interesting. It seems even with using mystic salvage kits to salvage a stack of ectos the return in Crystalline Dust is favourable enough to generally at least break even on the value of the ectos salvaged (in fact the top 7 results on the table make a bit of profit if my maths are right). And the essence of luck return does indeed seem to be bucket loads as you say!(https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glob_of_Ectoplasm/salvage_research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
