Edited to match new patch changes

Ok seen tons of threads asking how to get them. Here is one way. If you discover another, please post here.

Once you can get an Expert Salvage kit, buy one (400 gold). These seem to first be available from Yaks Bend. Then use the expert kit on Charr Hides. Out of 8 hides I got one fur square and 7 tanned hides, so you WILL need to try quite a lot to get enough fur. They can come from anything that gives tanned hides normally

Since the patch you can now talk to a trader in post-searing Ascalon city, named Calissa Sedgewick. She will trade you 1 fur square in exchange for 4 charr hides.

Edit by Ashleigh McMahon:

From now on, all new threads with fur-related questions will be locked, as we have had alot of them within the past few weeks, and they are filling the boards up.
Regards, Ashleigh.

We need to confirm if an expert kit is necessary. People have told me that you should only use expert kits on purple/blue colored items.

adam.skinner · May 01, 2005, 02:47 PM // 14:47

I salvaged a "salvage item" and received a rare in return, and that only happens with expert kits. So yes, it's not only special items. gwonline has a listing from beta of what gives what.

Flam · May 01, 2005, 07:57 PM // 19:57

I used a normal salvage kit but i forgot on what and got a rare crafting item... I would check what the item was but the game keeps on crashing now

PhineasToke · May 01, 2005, 08:17 PM // 20:17

An absolute recipe from SOMEONE at ArenaNet who knows should be posted here. Speculation and guessing is just frustrating all of us who need it to upgrade armor.

Seeing as almost all of a ranger's armor requires fur squares, there has to be an easier and more reliable way to get them

The Silent Lord · May 03, 2005, 07:17 PM // 19:17

I found some cool Trading software, it tells you who is online and who is not. And while your playing GW it will give you a alert telling you someone is tyring to buy your stuff.. Its pretty cool.. www.gwtradingpost.com It looks pretty beta but i think it has some real potitual

False. Even on ordinary items, expert salvage kits have a chance of yielding rare crafting supplies instead of the common ones. For example, Shaman Garb yields cloth with a normal salvage kit, but if you use an expert kit, you'll probably still get cloth but there's a chance you'll get linen or silk.

The Silent Lord · May 03, 2005, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Thats true you can get rare crafting items somtimes when using the exert salvage kit.
I only use the ordinary one when i'm farming cloth or iron ingnots.

Pevil Lihatuh · May 03, 2005, 08:58 PM // 20:58

just a quick update: apparently its anything that would usually give tanned hides that has a small chance to give fur when expertly salvaged. I myself haven't confirmed this yet, but it would make sense.

sumasage · May 04, 2005, 12:18 AM // 00:18

let me ask this since we on the expert kit topic, only chances to getting rare item right? not all the time? i was trying to get some steel but all i gets is just iron.

Olfin Bedwere · May 04, 2005, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Got 1 Fur Suare using an Expert Salvage kit from a Char Hide. I salvaged several hides till I got it.

@sumasage - You are correct.

niteelvez · May 04, 2005, 06:02 AM // 06:02

yes it is very expensive trying to get fur squares i had 17 charr hides and out of all that just got 1 fur squares....they need to make this a bit more available i mean the usefullness doesn't match the lack of it in the game....its soo expensive to comeby and the armor u need to use it on isn't worth the trouble...so my advice stick to the other armors your better off with it

Teamtaiwan · May 04, 2005, 06:07 AM // 06:07

uh....24 charr hides....zero fur ><

Talk about bad luck ; ;

Superdan · May 04, 2005, 06:51 AM // 06:51

I agree completely. The scales you need for the Drakescale armor are much more plentiful and the onlyu difference I see is that of cold VS fire damage protection. As for the expert salvage kits, I haven't found a single difference between that and the standard kit in what you can get from the salvaging.

Pevil Lihatuh · May 04, 2005, 10:31 AM // 10:31

lol guess i got lucky :P i've also managed to get steel from a sword instead of iron by using the expert kit, but as i went for the druid armour at lions arch right now im using my expert kit only to get runes and upgrades from things. If i get a bit more money though I think I'll buy 3 or 4 kits and make a note of what i can salvage from everything with the expert one.

Ashleigh McMahon · May 04, 2005, 12:10 PM // 12:10

Thread- Unsticked.

This information has got round, for now.

If more questions are continuesly asked about fur squares, I shall restick this temparerally.
