The joy of Salvage

[bitesyurr]

Dam - 15AA points into Salvage, and tried to make some GM DoN armor today. Failed on 2 attempts and salvaged the "Larghe brick of Bronze" so sabing me a wopping 84plat!!!!!


Ah well, I suppose it could have saved the Hammer!!

[Lillanu]

Actually, the hammer isn't used up in the combine, so you can't salvage it.

You can however salvage Gem Studded Chain(returned on failure) in robe combine. Done it once, thankfully I will never EVER made another one of those robes in my lifetime.

I think they fixed that a while back. People were gaining GSCs as they went because they would salvage 1 and get 1 back normally.

I'm willing to bet that happened very soon after Salvage came out. During the first few days after it was released, it was possible to salvage an item that was returned on fail anyway; there were reports of people salvaging smithing hammers and such. This was fixed shortly afterwards. Now, you should only salvage items that are not returned on a fail.

Wow...I though I was doing good on Friday when I salvaged all 3 items for a GM symbol...and then succeeded on the 2nd attempt. No skillups, though (sitting at 297.)

Based on my experience with the RNG, I think the above Screen capture is a forgery!

Grats on your salvage and your skillups!

[Abazagaroth]

I have yet to salvage anything worthwhile =P

Guess when doing skillups to 300 I got a couple extra combines from random salvages though =P

Yesterday GM High ELF BP. failed salavged mold and lg brick of mithril. sigh.

Speaking of salvage, is there a message now for when you salvage something, so that everyone in your group (more specifically, the person you're doing the combine for) can see what you salvaged?

[Bobaten]

There is a group message if you use the normal (new) TS interface. But the last time I checked, if you are doing an old style(experiment mode) combine, group members don't see the salvage messages.

Normally I salvage the useless items as well lol. but a few weeks ago I had a lot of luck with it. My boyfriend asked me to make his 3 discordant scoriae's into black gold inlays.
First attempt: Failure, salvaged discordant scoriae
Second attempt: Succesfull
Third attempt: Succesfull
<went to get another vial and ingot>
Fourth attempt: Failure, salvaged discordant scoriae
<went to get yet another vial and ingot>
Fifth attempt: Failure, salvaged the discordant scoriae again lol
<shopping again>
Sixt attempt: finally succesfull

Should have seen the look on his face when I told him I failed 3 times
