Mm, I'd played the game well over a year and never had a Sup Vigor drop, then pop-pop-pop, I got 3 of them in the span of a couple months (1 in Vizunah Square, too, I think); zippo in the year since then.

I can't recall ever getting burned by a Measure for Measure, though. It's probably happened, but it didn't lodge itself in my mind.

i got a amber chunk once from a wand with the mod in it.

other than that no nothing of note really, just larger piles of common crafting mats

Thats what i meant darcy - i always get sup and expert mixed.
The only diff between a standard kit and expert kit is the ability for rare mats and ripping runes/insc otherwise both can be used to get same amount of materials.

I had totally forgotten about the "basic" salvage kit until recently. I was ending up with over a stack of steel and other rare materials when I really needed common stuff like iron, wood, and tanned hides. Now I use the common salvage kit on nearly everything.

I thought the item's identified base price relates to the amount of salvage items u get from it.
The higher the (identified) base price the more salvaged items.
This does not include the higher sell value mod.
I only put MfM on golds with a high base price, wich in comparison should increase the amount of salvaged items gotten with MfM.
