    I think to avoid spending too much money the copper fed is absolutely worth it because of the crazy amount of greens, blues, and white you get. A mystic salvage kit will do just fine for all rare and exotics because you probably won’t get nearly as many rare and exotics as you do lower tier items.

    For me the Silver-Fed is not necessary for quality of life, because you can use Mystic Salvage Kit that has 250 uses, and you dont get as many yellow/orange items as much as white/blue/green

    • @nickzrenthlei
      @nickzrenthlei 3 года назад +31

      If you join HoT and PoF meta trains, or most of the meta farm right now, you will get lots of Rare Unid items. The best way is to open them all and salvage it. Now, I always use Mystic Salvage, but when I have multiple stacks of rare unid items, I have to craft around 3 x 250 Mystic Salvage kit. And we need 3 Mystic Forge Stones for every 250 Mystic Salvage Kit. So, not long ago, I realised that I used up a lot of Stones for Salvage Kit. And since Mystic Forge stones are quite rare (Achievement reward and BLTC), it is better to save it for other uses. So, IMO, buying the Silver-Fed Salvage is totally worth it for me.

    • @jelenag6112

      Nicholas Renthlei Same, that reason is what got me to buy the silverfed/runecrafters after putting it off. When I heavily farm chains I often need to make 3+ mystic kits to cover everything as I let the stacks build up and do it in one go. Silverfeds great for the unlimited use!

    @GeneralAblon 3 года назад +5

    Quick tip, if you have some black lion salvage kits lying around, use them for exotic gear that can drop insignia's/inscriptions, or exotic gear with expensive runes. Black lion salvage kit have the highest chance of awarding the ins's and give you your rune back, which you can then sell. If you have a hiatus, just log in every day for a while. I tend to get a ton from daily login rewards, the middle row. Also, weekly keyfarm nets you one occasionally. Anyway, so long!

  • @craigsparton
    @craigsparton 3 года назад +14

    Excellent video! You described the real uses of these kits very well. I have a slightly different perspective on the buy order of the kits. Copper fed is #1 to be sure. But I would place Runecrafters at #2. Three reasons:
    1. As you said, it has a function that cannot be duplicated by any other kit.. 100% upgrade salvage. Silver fed is simply a convenient Master's or Mystic salvage kit.
    2. I get far more green unid drops than anything else. The 80% increase in rune and sigil salvage rate over the copper fed kit is substantial since it also greatly increases the number of chances you have for a valuable charm drop.
    3. The Mystic salvage kit is an excellent convenience replacement for the Silver-Fed kit and lasts for a good while. Mystic stones have little early game use for most players. Eventually I did buy the Silver-Fed kit because you do only get a limited amount of stones and they have other uses. But I feel I got more out of my Runecrafter's kit in that time gap than I would have gotten if I bought the Silver-Fed kit first.

    • @solstice.1847
      @solstice.1847 3 года назад +1

      I was going to post basically exactly what Craig said. I would prioritize Runecrafter ahead of Silver-Fed for any player that has more than 20-30 Mystic Forge Stones. As long as you have the capability to periodically make a Mystic Salvage kit, using that rather than a Silver-Fed will save you gold in the long run.
      If you have few or no forge stones, then the Silver Fed becomes much more interesting.
      Great video as always, Mukluk! I hope every new GW2 player finds your channel and your videos. They're extremely beneficial.

    Worth noting, since the anniversary is ongoing until I think September, more account items and upgrades are going to be on sale. There's no sure-fire way to know what is going on sale or when. But if you want to use gold to convert to gems, do so right now. Mid september last year saw prices spike to 185 gold to 400 gems and get stuck there for the rest of the anniversary sale.
    Also, account-wide inventory slots are almost certain to go on sale, which I highly highly recommend because they rarely go on sale ANY other day of the year.
    Other good discounts to expect are bank slots, material storage space, Living world seasons (VERY good), and volatile magic infinite gathering tools*.
    *Volatile magic infinite gathering tool, like many other things, is a convenience and does not pay off for years. It will save you karma and hastle, and pairs well with accountwide slots to ferry between characters.

  • @rkbkirin5975

    As Mukluk was saying how these were a quality of life improvement, I realized the real value of these gem store kits is saving _time_ while doing salvaging because you don't have to constantly buy kits. I wonder how much quicker you can go through a stack of 250 blues, 250 greens and 250 yellows with these gem store kits vs. buying the normal kits? (Although I suppose Mystic Salvage kits would even things a bit)
    It might end up only be a few seconds for each item but I would think that can add up over a year. And time is really the most valuable resource while playing an MMO. I think I'll end up getting them afterall (once they're on sale again lol)

    • @beeping2blipping
      @beeping2blipping 2 года назад +2

      Agree and you also save Inventory space as I played for many years before I bought any Permanent Salvage kit and had to have 5-6 Salvage kit (=5-6 Inventory slot occupied) everywhere I went to be able to fast salvage and dispose to Material Storage all materials that can be used or sold later (and increasing stacks in MS also helps a lot over time). It is not a Quality of Life anymore in my opinion as it changes how you can play (hate to have that darn pop up blocking everything in Inventory until you delete something or sell it). With Action Camera mode it causes also interruption during fights if you autoloot and suddenly have a full Inventory on your character.
      Those Salvage kits reduce this kind of problems a lot. All three have its use and save time from crafting those other non-permanent Salvage kits. Runecrafter's Salvage kit is the one that is important for increasing chance of getting Charms (something that cost a lot to buy at BLTP).

  • @bednap922
    @bednap922 2 года назад +13

    In my opinion, the rune crafter is worth buying over the silver fed. You can use mystic salvage kits in place of the rune crafter. Also, if you don't have the rune crafter, you'll be using the copper fed on greens which has an 80% less chance of salvaging runes. Rune crafter equals more runes which equal more gold while silver fed is equivalent to mystic salvage kits.

    I have and use all 3 frequently. I regretted buying the Runecrafter kit until I learned that it was best to use on greens a couple months ago. I've purchased shared inventory slots that are purely dedicated for the kits, and love them. The Silver Fed kit could be replaced with the mystic kit, because I have so many forge stones, but the infinite uses is such a boon. I would personally recommend buying, like Muk said, at least the Silver Fed (if you already have the Copper Fed) especially at this low of a price.

      Black lion kit is basically used when you want to 100% extract the contents of an item, such as getting a valuable rune, sigil, or infusion from it.

    The Lucent Motes you get from a Runecrafter's Salvage Kit are worth a lot less than the 30 coppers each use of the RSK costs, so it is only the Charms which can make it worthwhile, and their drop rate is quite low. I satisfy myself with Copper-fed for blues and greens, Mystic Salvage Kits for yellows and Black Lion Salvage Kits for orange.

      I wouldn't waste my BL kits on oranges unless you are in desperate need of dark matter or they contain a valuable rune or sigil. It may be a guarantee ecto / dark matter drop, but BL kit uses are worth more than that to me.

      @quiquaequod322 3 года назад +2

      Black Lion Salvage Kit is free to use, but has only 25 uses. It does not *salvage* upgrades, it extracts them, meaning the sigil or rune is recovered intact. Often, with a rare item, the sigil or rune can be worth more than the item itself! I use BLSKits for rares only.

      What Qui Quae Wuod said, it will destroy the item, but you will get the rune or sigil back. Can be useful if you need to get back a rune like "rune of the monk" which are a pain to buy because they use dungeon currency. Or if you see a rune of force on an item (worth a few gold at least) and you want to sell the rune.

      Copper by far. You will be losing quite a bit using silver on greens. 60c vs 3c is significant, you can't make up 57c per salvage on lucent motes, charms on greens (on the long run).

    I think personally runecrafter would be better to buy (if you already have copper, and obvs use it on greens) and then just use mystic salvage kits (250 uses) on rares, you have to salvage an insane amount of rares IMO to get a silver-fed, like ive been playing this game for 7 years and ive never run out of mystic forge stones which you need to craft a mystic salvage kit.

    I don't quite get the math at 10:10 where you say you get up to 25% more ectoplasm, when going from 20% to 25% with the salvage kits.
    Also at 7:10 you say that if you only have the copper-fed, then use this on blue items, but the mystic salvage kit on green and above. But what I hear from other videos is that it is better to also use the copper-fed on greens and mystic only on yellow and orange.
    Could you clarify that? Thanks!

    • @MuklukYoutube
      @MuklukYoutube  3 года назад

      To clarify:
      25% (or 1/4th) of 20% is 5%
      20% + 5% =25%
      25% is 25% more than 20%.
      I believe the confusion is that some people thought I meant additive, not multiplicative. So if you were getting 4 ectos per X salvages before, you will average 5 now instead.
      At 7:10 I said use mystic salvage kit on the other... and didn't clarify. I agree with what you said.

      Actually, it really makes total sense to say 25% more. Somehow I thought of it as a bonus of 20% or 25%, but at 0% you would get zero ectos, not have 20 or 25% higher chance than some base value. Stupid me...
