Can’t Salvage Elonian Vestement

[ChampionMasquerade.5283]

I crafted an ascended chest piece, so I want to salvage my Elonian Vestments that gave a turn of strength in it. Problem is, it won’t work. Anyone know why specially?

Did you get them as quest rewards?

I don’t believe so, the possibilities I can think of are through a PvP chest or achievement

Did you use the right salvage kit for ascended items?

 

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_Salvage_Kit

 

You are sure that your item isn't bound by template you might have used or added into? If you have used template it might be a small symbol in the corner which indicate that it have been added to an template which prevent you from doing anything with it until you unbound it from template.

Checked on wiki about: Elonian Vestments

 

It looks like it an exotic item so you should be able to use normal salvage kits (Iet that above about ascended stand as it is still useful to know that there is another kit for ascended items that isn't that common to see on NPCs as those other for everything up to exotic).

Contains chests that have there items:

From those links it looks like this armour set should be possible to salvage. If you use bag that prevent item to be sold to NPC or hide it from salvage like Invisible bag slots, then it could be the reason why you can't salvage that item. Move it out to another bag slot which doesn't have that kind of restriction for salvage items.

 

_Invisible Bags/Invisible Packs/Safe Boxes/Courier's Bags — Items in these bags cannot be sold to merchants nor at the Black Lion Trading Company. Their contents do not move when inventory is sorted. Using 'Deposit Collectibles' will not affect items inside invisible bags; however, items can still be deposited individually using the right-click menu. Using "Salvage All" option on salvage kits won't salvage items put in this bag. (Useful for saving Unidentified gear for later use)_

If you got them out of https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elonian_Coat_Box from doing To Kill A God, they won't salvage because story rewards can't be salvaged. Prevents people blitzing story for tradeable mats. Not that To Kill A God is quick to get to, but it's the general rule from low level story on up.

I guess I must have got it from there. It’s strange since I remember getting it as a PvP reward

Look again ...

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Desert_Armor_Box => https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elonian_Vestments => https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items?ids=85232&lang=en => "NoSalvage"

 

The only set in the Desert Armor box that can be salvaged is the Warbeast set although that was not always true.

@"ChampionMasquerade.5283" I haven't used the API that you find for each item on GW2 wiki page until @"Khisanth.2948" posted this, so what @"Khisanth.2948" show is that all item have a tag for NoSalvage if you click on each items individual page then then look at their API link. You will find that link on right side where you see in normal text more information of each item and in the button there is an API link. Good to know for the future when there is an item one don't know what status it have or if wiki haven't update its information.
