3 steel ingots from a Battlepick Of Fortitude.

Hi,

Yesterday i found a nice golden Battlepick Of Fortitude in a chest in the Tombs,the pick had an axegrip of fortitude of +30hp.When i ID it the message: New item unlocked axegrip of fortitude, was shown.

I tried to salvage the grip with an expert salvage kit when back at the tombs outpost but all i got were 3 steel ingots.

As this is not the first time this has happened ,i was wondering am i the only one and am i doing something wrong?

All comments and help on the subject is welcome.

kind regards,

KCCCH

just very bad luck!
ther has been a bug that messed up every salvage though ( ages ago ) which caused me the same problem...twice
and a buddy of mine salvaged 4 bolts of cloths from his superior vigor... 8-)
but its probably bad luck

Still better than the 11 iron ingots you would normally get, eh?

Weapon salvage is harshly random

2 5 energy staff heads in 2 days, 2x 11+ steel ingots in 2 days

B4 you salvage, pray and give me money and your salvage will be successful.

And If anything has a hale head on it, I never bother salvage.. I always get the crappy head.

At 10:00 in the morning i went on a FoW Chest run. Got a Firestaff with +30hp Stave. Salvage. Woopy 20 wood. 8:00 at night same day. Get a bonestaff from chest at Witman's Folly. Get a +30hp Staff Head. Salvage 19 wood. So yeah... both of the different +30 hp staff mods in one day, and I didn't get either one =\

This happens to me all the time and it sux. In the last few weeks ive turned a 10:10 sundering Bow mod a +30 hp Axe haft and a +20% enchanting pommel into wood and iron respectively.
Also in the past I have salvaged the other crappy mod from an item with a perfect mod.

I would like to see a change in the way that the salvage kits work.
I propose that you can click on the kit and then on to the weapon where it then prompts you to select what you are trying to achieve.
Prefix mod/Suffix mod or Materials. This will then give you a slightly higher chance of salvaging the thing that you want. This function will also be useful if for instance you want to salvage a blue item with a single mod into crafting materials instead of nearly always getting the crap mod.

Hi,

well....Maybe a nice petition ,regarding the subject, to the good folks at GW would be an idea.
