Default Salvaging Bug?

Well, im a keen chest runner, have got 'Expert treasure Hunter' and 'Devotee of Wisdom'.
everything i salvage has a 29% chance to be destroyed, and vertually everything i salvage never gets destroyed.
but today, ive salvaged 11 items, and ever single 1 got destroyed..bug? or just pure unlucky.

maybe some else is getting this problem?

maybe im having a bad day?

any help?


*edit* 15 items now

You are mostly lucky. Each individual event has 71% chance of working and is independent from other events.

bad luck, but the chance of that happening is: 0.00122%, I think, so the chance is there, just bad luck.

Ya....gotta hate it when you find an item with 2 mods you want. Makes your butt pucker when you try to salvage one mod while praying you don't lose the other.

That's strange, I noticed the same results as you, I was only able to save 1 thing out of about 12, and I currently have 41%

I have a 23% chance (that's 77% to be successful) ...I still sometimes destroy whatever item I'm attempting to salvage from...it's better odds but still all random chance until (if) it says 0%.

i have a 20% chance of destroying the item and i still have some streaks of breaking them all. you're just having a bad run, that's all.

The cahnces of an item beign destroyed is the same everytime that you salvage something. I have on several ocacasions destroyed some good items, but for the most part I can get teh mods/runes off almost everything that I try to salvage. And a lot of times I have been able to salvage the item for materials also. I am not sure if my luck is getting ready to run out on me or if it woill hold, but I haven't gotten a green for several weeks now and Iit is getting me down on that. So luck goes with the territory and atm I think that you may have the bad luck that I had several months ago.

Bad luck is not a reliable indication of a bug.
