this is gonna sound like a noob question, but once you apply a rune to a peice of armor, can you recover that rune by salvaging the armor, or can you even recover the rune at all?

You can if you use a expert salvage kit. But it's not 100%, there is a chance you will lose it.

You can recover the rune by using a salvage kit on the armor.

You can, but there is a chance that it will fail. But, runes from DROPPED armor (i.e. that Charr Stalker Armor) will always drop that rune.

Ohhh, good point. Any upgrade you place on to a collector armor or weapon is stuck there for good.

And remember you will only have a chance with an expert salvage kit, not a regular one.

Before you say something, you should make sure your facts are accurate. From the June 1st update.

Assured that armor provided by collectors can now be salvaged.

This means if you put a rune on it, you can attempt to get it back. I know this to be fact as I had a bunch of runes on my warriors pre-sear collector armor, and I got them all back when I upgraded her armor.
