Debating whether to Salvage Chaos Gloves.. - Guild Wars Forums

SilentWhistle · Aug 25, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Hiya. I got Chaos Gloves for my sin around 3 weeks ago. And now, I don't really play him, and want a pair for my Monk, so I'm debating whether to salvage them to put the ecto towards the pair for my monk.
I'd just like to know, if anyone else has salvaged them and what they crumbled into.
I know wiki has some information, but I'd rather here it 1st hand so I know if it will be worth it or not.

Thanks.

Salvages into either: 30-40 Piles of Glittering Dust and 2-3 Globs of Ectoplasm, 39 Globs of Ectoplasm, or only Piles of Glittering Dust.

i personally just wouldnt salvege armor

rather save up for another pair

you will regret it later

and besides

whats better than 1 pair? thats right 2 pairs

Items can never salvage in 2 separate materials, it's always one.

Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust......errr wait thats part of a song nvm....

Back on topic: they will salvage into dust or ecto (use expert salvage for ecto chance).

My suggestion: they take only 1 slot in inventory, salvaging them will give around 25 ectos? probably a bit less. Should start from scratch for a new pair.

Only if one inventory slot is worth 100k

N1ghtstalker · Aug 25, 2008, 08:21 PM // 20:21

high chance you'll get scrap back from it
i'd keep em cuz if you get dust you'll have nothing

Elder III · Aug 25, 2008, 08:28 PM // 20:28

Totally Not Worth It

Do it if you must, but you will regret it - too much chance of getting dust back to make it worth it, and you may really wish you had them on your assassin sometime down the road; what then?

'Nuff said.

As someone who salvaged full Mesmer FoW and got roughly 80 bolts of cloth, total. I would not recommend it.

lol @ salvaging obsi armor and chaos gloves.....why even waste the time to farm for them, if your going to break them down. seems like a big waste of time....but then again if thats how you like to spend your gw time, then thats all that matters.

snaek · Aug 25, 2008, 09:13 PM // 21:13

i have a theory of the value of an item has a relation to the salvage u get from it

i.e. an item thats 50g compared to an item thats 100g
the 100g item has a higher chance to salvage higher value mats

and the salvage worth (merchant value) will -always- be higher than the item worth

i havent done any serious testing
but i have kept a watch on it on many things i salvage
and it seems to have a relation (as small as it may be)
tho... it could jus be a mind thing

so if ur armour has a merchant value of 600g
i would think that u'd roughly get jus a bit over that in mats
but not ridicoulusly over that like 5000g in mats
(not goin by mat npc trader...ecto is worth 100g merchant value)

this of course is jus all personal speculation

Cale Roughstar · Aug 25, 2008, 09:27 PM // 21:27

Bad idea is bad.

Seriously, for all the trouble it took to get them you shouldnt salvage them in the first place. Secondly, the remote possibility of modest returns should not be enough to take the gamble.

Tommy529 · Aug 25, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

good idea.

i salvaged my necro fow armor. never liked it, just bought it for HOM, only gor 7 shards

but it doesnt matter since i didnt want it any more

bottom line if u dont want it who cares if u dont have it any more? If u still kind of like it keep it

Stolen Souls · Aug 25, 2008, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Imagine how much you spent on them.

Then imagine salvaging some dust from them.

Worth it? Up to you.

t00115577 · Aug 25, 2008, 09:43 PM // 21:43

Dont do it bud, wont be worth it

Sir Seifus Halbred · Aug 25, 2008, 09:43 PM // 21:43

If you ask me if was your fault in buying the chaos gloves for your sin to begin with.

Do it, u might get something amazing!

ALF71BE · Aug 25, 2008, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it , do it,

Do it,

NAO.

Serious though, if you need the space, I think you get more from salvaging than merching.
