Curse

This is my idea:

Inscription: "More than meets the eye"
Effect: Increases chance of rare material salvage

I think this would be pretty balanced, considering the fact that it can't be combined with "Measure for Measure". I think it should apply to all inscribable items. This wouldn't neccesarily make it easier for people to make money, rather than make it a little push in helping you acquire more rare materials. Like, say, one would buy it from someone to get a better chance at salvaging a Ruby from Jeweled Daggers.

Not that much of a unique idea, but I think Anet should consider it, at least.

I would have put more inscriptions that I think would be nice, but I am afraid that would conflict with the "One idea in one post" rule. Pretty clueless as to what that applies to. Oh well.

Measure for Measure already increase chances of getting rare material salvage.
Just try salvaging some and use them in Jeweled daggers.

You'll find that interesting.

Yeah, as Mithran says it already (sorta) works that way. Measure for measure on a sword can get you a bunch of iron ignots... or it could get you like 12 Steel (way more then the 1 or 2 you'd get from just salvaging a sword w/o the inscription).
I see what you are saying though (somehow increasing the odds to get the rare one instead of the common one when you salvage, not just the # you get from the salvage), but that would probablly hurt rare material prices too much.

After all, mesaure for measure has been around since day one as the "highly salvageable" mod. Changing it might have unforseeable effects on the market.

But hey.

It would be nice if there where "Improved sale value" and 'Highly salvageable' INSIGNIA.

That way we could get... eh... some more leather sometimes.

That'd be nice. I've had bad salvage luck lately... SO much cloth. ;_;
