APrincessOfAlot.4735 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Does anyone know if the INFUSION EXTRACTOR works on an Ascended Precursor piece of armor? I bought my Precursor Ascended armor in WvW and put infusions on them to be able to use it while accumulating all materials needed to craft my Legendary pieces. Then only to find that using that precursor to craft the Legendary, destroyed my infusions and upgrades....is there a way, using this extractor, to keep my infusions? Or, any suggestions?

Fancy.3170 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Infusion extracter will only take out any infusions. The upgrade extractor will take out both your infusions as also your runes/sigils. Also, when you used the mystic forge for crafting your legendary piece, you should have gotten a red line of text saying that any slotted runes/sigils/infusions would get destroyed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APrincessOfAlot.4735 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Thank you! Guessing I need to purchase ANOTHER WvW precursor chest piece as I don’t want to lose my +13 Agony Infusion that I accidentally placed on that Ascended Precusor piece….the cost of the 250 Memory of Battle is far less then losing the Infusion….do you know if there is some other type of infusion other than Agony that we should be using for WvW? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 For WvW you should be using the WvW infusions https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Laurel_Merchant_(WvW)#Infusions Infusion extractors are pretty cheap https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infusion_Extraction_Device but you do need the first tier of the fractal mastery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APrincessOfAlot.4735 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 Yes I have fractal mastery and found the merchant there to buy those...was more asking if it would DESTROY my precursor piece...as didn't know if the Infusion Extractor was different from the Ascended Salvage Kit .I was told that when playing fractals, that Agony Infusions were the best to use....I just made my Legendary pieces recently......loads of time and gold to get to that point....still trying to figure out the best things to use for armor and weapons in WvW....thank you!!

APrincessOfAlot.4735 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 LlNKEN, So what your saying is that using the Extractor WILL NOT destroy my precursor ASCENDED piece of armor?? Your positive on that? Would be amazing if so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will destroy your precursor armor is either stat changing it in the mystic forge, ascended salvage kit or straight up click drag and drop it outside of invetory to delete it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it would be named Salvage Kit with a 100% chance of extracting upgrades and infusions. 😉 For upgrades and infusions both, you will need an Upgrade Extractor (I recommend the endless version, it's super useful). For infusions only, you use the Infusion Extraction Device. Edited May 6, 2023 by Ashantara.8731 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to waste Gems on the one-use version instead, which will cost you more in the long run. 😉 Unfortunately, it is the only extractor for upgrades and infusions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rune/sigil (all below 10g, except some useless fake/collector items) in an armor/weapon have a value to justify this. Look into the HP how much you get there for the combie or just destroy the cheaper to get the more expensive. Crafting legendary runes/sigils doesn't pay off in the short run as well, but seem more useful to me than a endless extractor.
