Fur.. everyone wants to buy Fur. Is it just luck of the draw that you use the expert salvage kit on something and get fur?

Rizzen Khalazar · May 02, 2005, 03:04 PM // 15:04

My question is, do you salvage it in fur squares? Or just plain fur and you need to craft it into fur squares?

hmmm. I wrote it down and my writing kind of sucks. I swear he said eltin. But ettin is so close. Someone else will have to answer that one, sorry I haven't tried it yet.

Rizzen Khalazar · May 02, 2005, 04:12 PM // 16:12

Expert salvage kit to get the fur squares.

Expert salvage on a Charr Hide would work, sometimes. It's not 100% effective.

Read more post less. There is a helpful link above your post...

Kilguri · May 02, 2005, 04:34 PM // 16:34

There's also a cheaper alternative to fur for rangers. In Yak's Bend, there's level 10 armor that uses hide squares and scales. The scales can be attained by salvaging the drops off Hydras south of Yak's Bend, and it only requires regular salvage kit, not expert.

On a side note tho, the drops (forgot the name) seem to be quite scarce, only got about 3 in over 30 kills and I sold them before I found out you can make quite decent armor with them. Oh well.

Also, when fighting Hydras along with rock elemntals, try to take out the Hydras first, they can cast meteor which hits for 70+ damage.

RMThompson · May 02, 2005, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Has anyone here SEEN fur come from Ettin or Charr hides? I've tried each around 20 times, and NOTHING.

Dammit i want fur!

decog · May 02, 2005, 06:03 PM // 18:03

I've been searching and asking people in-game and everyone is pretty elitist with this information..thanks ALOT to those who shared info, that link was especially helpful. That's what the forum is all about!

The salvage success rate is very low. Be prepared to sink a lot of money into expert salvage kits if you want bragging rights to armors crafted using fur squares. They rightly deserve the rich valuation people are asking for them.

GW on line reports success on getting fur squares off Charr hides.

I've succeeded in getting one fur square out of Losaru hides and another one off Maguuma hides.

From this, I'm suspecting that monster hides of various sorts can be salvaged into fur squares using the expert kit, but at low probabilities of success. If you have money to burn, buy/gather animal hides and expert kits to try for fur squares.

The IOU · May 02, 2005, 06:36 PM // 18:36

So buying Charr hides from people is like buying a lottery ticket in a sense lol

Static · May 03, 2005, 08:30 PM // 20:30

So far i managed to salvage 2 fur squares from 24 charr hides, with an expert salvage kit. Not a great % chance that you will actually be able to salvage a fur square, but its worth it if you need one badly

PurpleDrag0n · May 03, 2005, 08:50 PM // 20:50

Does anyone else find it a little absurd that warriors require these rare materials for the lowest level armor? My elementalist has blazed through the armor sets without having to hunt for anything. Now I make a warrior and can't find any of these blasted things even with my higher level character. Anyone know why this is?

pawdregry4g · Jun 23, 2005, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Well so far, I have gotten the best ratio of hides to fur squares off of centaur hides and as for charr hides i've been getting like 2 : 8
I must be lucky

I'm guessing but i think all hides can be changed into fur squares.
OH and 4 cahrr hides can be turned into a squar at colelctor in ascalon

Slade xTekno · Jun 23, 2005, 05:43 PM // 17:43

The above post has it. I can't believe this many people are unaware of the Collector in Ascalon who now offers 1 Fur Square for 4 Charr Hides...

unclearconcept · Jun 23, 2005, 06:40 PM // 18:40

while i was signing up for an account you beat me to it

much better ratio imo. just have to spend the time gathering charr hides. just started a w/mo to get a feel for the fuss that's goin around so i don't know what the best area to look for them are though.
