Guild Wars Factions Market to Ectos: Adios!
Got the GW:F official guidebook today. Interesting appendix in the back listing some item salvages from the game. Thought I'd share a couple of them:
Looks like ecto is going to become a salvage material in a couple days. Not suggesting anything, just thought it was an interesting point

I'm pretty sure that's always been there(at least for --- Remains)...the chances you get Ectos are so small, its more profitable to sell the stuff to merchants...

The Prophecies strategy guide was written by an author that wasn't too familiar with the game. He actually was not accurate when he posted that ectos could be salvaged. You can actually not salvage an ecto from anything in Prophecies. Well, my 3 friends and I couldn't when we salvaged about 300 demonic remains each which was said to be able to expert salvage into ecto. I've also never heard of anyone salvaging ecto ever.
The Factions guide however was supposedly written (or helped written) by ANet staff, so the information should be a lot more reliable.

Sell. sell.
Prices for ecto go bye bye...
At least none of my ecto were ever bought. I'm collecting for my Assassin. In case the Assassin Fow looks nice, I will get it

This info is consistent with the info in the prophecies' guidebook that was released last year. The rare salvages have yet to be proven. I'm surprised they'd still keep erroneous info in the new update.

Like I said in another thread, if this is actually true, then ecto's price will drop to nothing as well as ruby and sapphire. Just a question though, has there been statement in there that shards can be salvaged as well or is it just limited ot ectos, rubies, and sapphires?

I understand that the chance of it happening is supposed to be 0.5% with an expert salvage kit. I salvaged somewhere near 70 or 80 of the reputed items and not seen it happen, nor has anyone I ever spoke to seen it occur (and some had claimed to have salvaged a hundred or two of said items). Possibly broken?

These guides are written months before release date. Many things change in that time.

I hate the look of Warrior FoW, so regardless of what A.Net says, not everyone may want the new FoW stuff.

This is for Factions. Not Prophecies. Factions isn't released yet.

Here's the way I see it:
GWG members:[oh crap ecto is gonna be worthless, I better do something]..."Everyone calm down, yeah that is false, this will never happen".
*Logs onto GW:"WTS ecto for cheap"

I saw several people selling over a hundered ecto at 5.5k each... That stunned me... I bought a load, but if this is really how it's going to be... maybe I actually threw away money on an item that's going to be in the 1-2k range... Gotta get rid of these ASAP.
