What do you get when you get "junk" loot?

Junk drops?!?!?!?!? So you mean the NON max req13 PURPLE items I am getting from HIGH end chests are junk??????? I think Anet should change the text back to "rare" for gold drops since they seem to be just that for some of us.

Obviously because you're playing in low-end areas, low-end stuff doesn't drop in higer-end areas.

In Tyria -> Drops are not good until you reach Krytia Region
In Cantah -> Drops are not good until you hit the main city

I usually just sell up to those points. I do find ID is worth at at least to catch any percious items / pays for the id'ing them.

you can still get non-max gold items even from the highest chests..some non-max high end skins are still sellable

This is what I do:

Real Junk: leave it where it lays
Stackable Junk: pick it up and stack it and sell
Everything else I salvage, ID, sell to merchant, or add to my stockpile of crafting materials.

I do not have the patience to sell good drops unless I feel they are worth quite a bit.

ROTFLMAO! Like wands in FOW... Man junk drops all over, no matter where.

Pffff, anything not gold or without good mods to salvage, goes merchant.

In my case anyway, i cant stand purple junk, or wasting 1 hour to sell it to some player for 1k.

As far white unmodded stuff, expert salvage kit for teh win. ^_^
And as far as blue "high salvageable" stuff, expert salvage kit for teh uber win.

These days i'd rather have white armours than Purple ones... at least the White ones can be used with a Expert/Superior Salvage Kit and not end up with a shitty little rune.

Exactly, shitty litle rune that sells for 100 gold maximum sometimes XD.

I didn't see anyone mention anything about FOW, gold items, max items in the OP.

I just answered the question, you get low end items in low end areas you DON'T get low end items in higher end areas EVER.

lol seriously you and Zinger should get together because you both seem to take everything so literally.

Junk loot = merchant food..non-max items, golds with no inherant mods ect

I KNOW what junk loot is, as I said I was just answering the question.

If the OP had a point he could have phrased his question in a way that made sense.

Also this thread doesn't blong in this forum anyway, should either have been in farming or in Questions and answers.

Fact:

Blue Armor > Purple Armor (Though only in the case of all runes except Major Vigor.)

I'd rather get a blue armor drop over a purple one since the chances of scoring something of actual worth is higher on the blue.

And seriously,I opened a chest in The Deep,only to realize I got a req 13 gold non-max bow with a +19% damage while hexed and just an Icy String.

Woo.

I hear you. I have opened a fair few chests in my time but now, whenever a key drops for me (I refuse to buy one) I just sell it straight back to the trader because what I get out of the chest is NEVER worth as much as the key...it takes the piss.

Im sure a mod would have moved it by now if they thought it was in the wrong area.

Yeah I wonder why that hasn't happened yet, it must obviously have been an oversight

Anyway the thread is pointless and badly phrased.

IF the question was "what to do with junk loot", the answer would be - merch it.

IF the question was "why do I get bad drops", the answer would be - thanks for another thread on that age old topic.

Majoho,Mini-Modding/trolling since July 2006.

Dude if I think a subject is stupid/pointless I will say so - that's not trolling.

I used to do that too, until I got a 9 req 16 armor, -2 dmg in a stance/-2 dmg while enchanted shield and sold that for 170k.

I usually get really useless casters weapons, even if they are gold. Melee weapons I usually can at least salvage for one upgrade, otherwise, merchant be my guest.
