So, after this patch, here are my numbers from the try this morning to get furs from charr hides:

22 hides

4 furs

(that's less than 7:1 --- 6.5:1 actually). MUCH better than the 12:1 reported pre-patch.

Should come down in price too, finally as well.

There's a collector which turns 4 char hides into 1 fur. Takes some of the luck out of it, and you don't have to pay for the salvage kits.

Where is that collector?

Are they near Ascalon?

Thanks,

Wow, I should've saved all of my hides =\ 22 hides expert salvaged = 0 furs.

I went through 9 charges of my Expert salvage kit today trying to get Fur squares from Char hides and got 0. I don't have the gold to waste on that kind of failure rate. Now, if there is an NPC that will convert them to Fur squares it would be very handy to have that information posted in this thread hint hint....Shagsbeard

Guess it's still random... but I can assure you that IF there was a merchant who could do this, the DEVs would not have had to adjust the odds down. Would they?

No, I am not saying the NPC lies ...

But yeah... you tell us where a vendor will exchange charr hides for fur and when we verify it, I will come back to this post and apologize. Aside from that...

No.

Get ready to appologize then, because the last name of the collector I believe is Sedgewick near Old Ascalon. A number of people have reported this now... me thinks appology will ensue shortly...

I will verify. I do hope this is true. Those sneaky DEVs.

The collector is near the merchant area in Ascalon City after searing, her name is Calissa Sedgwick [Collector] and she is next the merchant Lauren. I would take a screenshot but I'm at work...

Someone owes someone an apology.

I just verified, the Collector that used to offer a belt pouch for 3 Fetid Carapaces, now offers Fur Squares or Belt pouches for Charr Hides.

Nice find.

By "adjust the odds down" I assume you mean the odds of salvaging fur from hides because there would be no odds if using a collector. Anyway, these are the patch notes from www.guildwars.com . They mention nothing of changing any odds. They simply state that they made them less scarce. That could be accomplished any number of ways, including by getting them from a collector.

Fixed problems which caused excessive scarcity of Fur Squares, Linen, and Silk.
You spent this by salvaging:
22 hides x 22 expert salvages x 16g per salvage = 352g
so, 352g + 22 hides = 4 fur squares
If using the collector that "doesn't" exist, you would have spent this:
20 hides x 0g = 5 fur squares

Can't you just salvage the Shaman Armor or whatever it's called into Fur Squares? I have 5 Fur Squares currently and I'm pretty sure they all came from the same item.

I was only aware of them comming from charr hides, but you may be correct. I can't imagine that you wouild be getting a better rate than 25% by salvaging anything though.
