The difference between salavage and Expert Salvage kits is pretty easy. With a normal salvage kit u only get regular materials like wood, iron, tanned hides etc. With an Expert kit you can get rare materials like steel, fur squares etc.... also with an expert kit say u get a "furious long sword" and when u id that sword it has a 10% chance to get double adrenline per hit. IF u use an expert salavage kit on that U MIGHT get the upgrade "10% chance" or u might get standard steel/iron . IF u get the "mod 10%" thing then u can double click it and put it on a different sword...

Is it a green weaopn? Or is it a piece of armor?

IF it's an armor piece, and it's blue, purple, or Gold, it's got a Rune in it. If it's PURPLE, just sell it to the merchant - because if you expert salvage it, you'll get the rune, which will be worth less than 38g. If it's Gold or Blue, ID it & check the RUNE TRADER'S sell prices, that will give you an idea whether to Expert Salvage it or not - if the trader is selling the rune for 150g or less, Expert salvaging it will reduce it's value. If you find that it's a rune that you want to use yourself, go ahead and Expert salvage it & apply it to your armor.

If it's a green weapon, check the Price Check forums here in Ventari's Sell section - there's a sticky for baseline prices for both Prophecies and factions green weapons.

What u can do with that IF u use a hammer...is expert salvage the rune out of it and put it on an armor piece. IT will raise your hammer attribute lvl by 2 but at a cost of -35hps. Honestly at lower lvs the only runes I would use are minor runes unless it is a major/superior rune of vigor. Personally I would just sell it to the merchant and not waste a use of an expert salvage kit.

I concur 100%. The 35 HP is a huge chunk, especially for low level characters.

I recomend looking around in the commonly asked questions formum. Theres a lot of good stuff there.

Hey guys, I got the game now and I have started my elementalist, level 3 right now almost 4. Where should I put my attribution points? Also which second profession would be good? Thanks

As someone earlier said, Mesmer, Necro, or Monk are all good choices as a secondary to Ele. I like Mesmer, myself, as there are missions in the game where good interrupts are important. Also, Mesmer can eventually give you some ability to prevent your spells from being interrupted, which you will come to appreciate.

As for attributes, you do realise that you can adjust them up or down anytime you are in a town/outpost; you can't adjust them down while in a mission or explorable area. So, pick attributes that maximise your skills/spells that you put on your skillbar. Spreading your points around, initially, is a good idea since you have limited access to skills early in the game; you can only use the skills you have obtained, so pick the best ones and match the attributes accordingly. Later on in the game, most people tend to only spend points in 2 or 3 primary attribute lines and maybe one more attribute line, either primary or secondary; the attribute lines that are picked can move around based on the mission and what mobs you are expecting to face. These are not hard rules, however.
