Nokomis.5076 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi everyone,I used 4 Ascended Salvage Tools.From 1 amulet I got: 2 Stabilizing MatricesFrom 1 back item I got: 5 +1 Agony InfusionsFrom 2 rings I got: 3 Stabilizing Matrices (each)And that's it, I got nothing else. I also had 3 Elder Wood Logs in my inventory, but could also be they were there before. Now let's see what the description of the Salvage Tools says:Stabilizing Matrices can be salvaged from rings. Dark Energy and other items can be salvaged from weapons, armor, and other trinkets. I got zero Dark Enery or any other items. Considering this, it looks like salvaging ascended items is just a waste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiroscho.7230 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 dark energy has a rly low chance, it's slightly higher on armor/weapons though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 4 salvages isn't anywhere near enough to establish a pattern of good or bad luck. There's a 50-50 chance of getting heads from a coin toss — you wouldn't think twice about 0/4 heads, so with drop rates far below 50% for Ascended gear, you shouldn't be surprised to get so little.PS there really isn't a lot of good data on ascended salvage rates; it's too pricey for our usual researchers to buy/craft excess, without there being any likelihood of breaking even (never mind earning a profit).So no, based on your sample size of four salvages, it doesn't look like salvaging is a waste; it just looks like your expectations weren't set appropriately before you started.

onevstheworld.2419 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 If you're looking for a ball of dark energy, salvage an ascended weapon or armor... those give you a 100% of getting one.Rings have 0% chance and everything else is pretty low (I've salvaged nearly 20 trinkets once and only got 1 ball... even then I think I was lucky)https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ball_of_Dark_Energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
