You would have a chance to salvage it and a chance to lose it. Damned if I know the percentages, though.

- if you used a normal salvage kit you'd loose the rune
- if you used a Expert or Superior Salvage kit you'd have a chance of salvaging the rune.. you don't have a 100% chance of getting the rune. You might get the rune or you might get crafting items. - You have 100% chance of getting runes from monster armor drops - Superior salvage kit is the exact same as Expert, just has more uses. |

Only difference is, that Expert comes in pack of 25 'better salvages', and Superior comes in pack of 100 'better salvages'. ['better' compared to the standard kit, that is.] Superior kits are just for player's convenience, since you don't have to buy new kit as often/carry multiple kits. |

I salvaged my armour after getting Droks for my Elementalist last night and had the following result.
5 pieces of armour returned 4 runes and 1 pile of ingots. After upgrading my warrior armour I got 3 from 5. I think it's just pot luck but probably 75-80% chance based on my experience. |

I'm more of an optimist, in this situation at least.
I'd go with an 85% chance to get your rune back. Ladies and gentlemen; place your bets. |

I'd say about 80%. It seems like any time I upgrade armor, I seem to lose one rune per five peices.
I'll bet 5gp on that. Call or raise? |

My experience is in line with the 75-80% success rate...but with the luck I have, the 20-25% failure rate always takes care of the most expensive rune.
Goodbye, superior absorption...hello, iron ingots. EDIT: As far as salvaging mob drops for runes, I have a 100% success rate. Last edited by Swehurn; Feb 01, 2006 at 04:33 PM // 16:33.. |

100 percent not likely
I for one can guarantee that u do not have 100 percent chance to salvage a superior rune from your armour. Went to upgrade to 15k glads on my warrior tried to salvage my sup absorb out of my old droks platemail. Lucky me got 8 iron ingots and before u say oh you might have bought a normal salvage and used that NO I have never bought a normal salvage so 100 percent not likely be afraid, If you are salvaging your sup absorb this could happen to you.

griswald38: Kamatsu is saying that there is a 100% of getting the rune from a Monster Armor Drop... not from salvaging your own armor (as everyone else has suggested, has somewhere between 75-85% chance).
