According to the PRIMA Guide, there are certain "Collectible Drops" that can yield rare materials, only if you use an Expert Salvage Kit. I'm not sure how true this is, but I extracted the info for a quick guide. Maybe someone can say if they have successfully extracted Ecto from these items.

Here is a list of what materials you will get if you use an Expert Kit (very rare chance)

Globs of Ectoplasm (or Glittering Dust)
Ancient Eyes (Wilds Beholder)
Demonic Remains (Rift Nightmare)
Ghostly Remains (Ruins of Ascalon Ghost)
Phantom Residues (Rift Ghost)
Shadowy Remnants (Krytan Nightmare)
Stormy Eyes (Ruins of Ascalon Beholder)

Leather Squares (or Tanned Hides)
Half-Digested Masses (any)
Half-Eated Blobs (any)
Leather Belts (Krytan Human)
Worn Belts (Human-standard)

Steel (Note: If the expert does not work you will get what is next to it)
Swords (Iron)
Axes - (Wood Planks or Iron) Less Cleavers, Hatchets will give Granite Slabs only
Hammers - (Wood Planks or Iron) Ettin Hammer will give Granite Slabs only
Rods - (Iron)
Staffs - (ONLY the Wrathful Staff will give Steel. The rest will yield Iron)
Shields - (Iron) Less Crude, Militia, Wooden will give Wood Planks only

Charcoal (or Granite Slabs)
Glowing Hearts (Krytan Imp)

Sections of Ivory(or Bones)
Minotaur Horns (Crystal Desert Minotaur)

oh i heard a thing my freind told me, he salvaged one of those Salvage iteams u gett from the last mission, i cant rember the name, but i think its the ONLY salvage iteam u can gett there. Anyway,. he gottt Steel from that one,. i dunno how mnay times he succeded but i know its posssible too gett Steel out of these

Onito · Aug 08, 2005, 12:26 AM // 00:26

U can also gett Bolts of Linen from Alpine Seed, this happpen not often at all, most rare what i have heard....

Mr. Niceguy · Aug 08, 2005, 12:30 AM // 00:30

I've expertly salvaged more Phantom Residues and Demonic Remains than you could ever dream of owning, and never once have I gotten a Glob of Ectoplasm. I'm almost postitive that it's impossible to salvage it, but I haven't tried all the other stuff.

Onito · Aug 08, 2005, 12:33 AM // 00:33

WE know it IS possible,. but the odds of that are EXTRMLY small...

octaviancmb · Aug 08, 2005, 03:58 AM // 03:58

Until someone posts a screen capture of their expert salvage, I think this is solidly a Prima guide myth. The guide has many inaccuracies in it; no big surprise that this is wrong.

Probably long since nerfed.

mr30 · Aug 08, 2005, 05:00 AM // 05:00

i tried on 250 remains and got no ecto..= =

Xue Yi Liang · Aug 08, 2005, 05:15 AM // 05:15

Maybe, for some odd reason, you need to extract ecto with a standard salvage kit instead of an expert one. It's just the sort of thing a wiseguy game developer would do.

Axle_Fieshe · Aug 08, 2005, 05:26 AM // 05:26

I get a lot of Linen/Silk from Ghouls Collar's.

Manfy · Aug 08, 2005, 10:06 AM // 10:06

After reading this, I salvaged around 750 Demonic Remains, nothing else but glittering dust.

DeLuux · Aug 08, 2005, 10:57 AM // 10:57

Salvaged Bolt of Linen out of Necrid Robes and 2 Parchment out of a Scroll..

FluidFox · Aug 08, 2005, 11:02 AM // 11:02

I wish you could craft ecto. Even if it required like 5 components in large quantities.

I'm going to have to say prima guide myth on this one too. I just went through 550 Demonic remains and now have 2750 glittering dust and only the 9 ecto I started with.

However, I now have that whole glittering dust thing in hand for the next year or so.

Onito · Aug 08, 2005, 11:19 AM // 11:19

Oh, well maybe it is a myth then, somebody wrote that he/her gotta ecto by salvaging it :S
Anyway, i think u can really gett many sort of stuff from one salvage iteam, not that u willl gett a shard from a Ebony Spider Leg.. But other stuff like linen, fur and more
Thats what i belive....

FireFox · Aug 08, 2005, 12:18 PM // 12:18

storm bow / eternal sheild salvaging?

Onito · Aug 08, 2005, 01:09 PM // 13:09

Hmm, no idea, i wouldnt salvage em if i were you XD

Valerius · Aug 09, 2005, 02:31 PM // 14:31

yeah i don't think it's possible to get ecto... have used an expert salvage on like 500+ Demonic Remains and about 200 Phantom Residue's... nothing but Dust

legendel · Aug 09, 2005, 05:16 PM // 17:16

Heres a link i use for most of my salvaging, sorry that it's from another site

Hope this helps people, and yes chances are small of getting a more rare item, but it does occasionally happen
