Zaxares.5419 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 As the title states. For some reason, Exotic armor that has been obtained via the Crystal Desert reward track (as well as the Exotic Triumphant Hero armors bought in WvW) can be neither salvaged nor Forged. You CAN put them in the Mystic Forge, but any attempt to forge them is denied. This is rather frustrating if you already have Ascended gear because these armor pieces just end up being wasted. Other armors from other reward tracks can be salvaged/Forged, so why not these sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeknar.6184 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This must be new because I'm pretty sure I've salvaged gear from Triumphant and Crystal desert tracks before. Did you select a stat before the atempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djinn.9245 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yet another case in GW2 of your "reward" not really being a reward. :( Too many things that are rewards that you can't really do anything with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxares.5419 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Jeknar: That's the kicker. The Exotic armor from the Triumphant WvW reward track IS salvageable/Forged. But the Triumphant Hero armor that you purchase from the WvW Skirmish vendor is not. I can't see why there'd be any difference between the two. As for the Crystal Desert reward track, I have not selected a stat for them, but based on past experience, that should not make a difference. The Forge will accept even non-stat items, and likewise, salvaging an item doesn't care what stat it has (or doesn't have), because stat-selectable Exotics do not ever drop Exotic inscriptions or insignia. Djinn: ANet DOES sometimes get around to it. The HoT profession exotic armors suffered from this problem for well over a year before they were FINALLY fixed a couple months before PoF's release. I'm just trying to get this brought to their attention now so it doesn't take so long this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediktus.9250 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Same problem with funerary gear, cannot be salvaged or forged. Same with wvw armors and weapons. Secret plan to push upgrade extractors I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxares.5419 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Damn, Funerary gear suffers from that problem too? Thanks for the heads-up. Guess I might wait a bit before buying those to unlock the skins. Don't need any more stuff clogging up my bank. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
