NooB Question re salvaging

[fuds.8256]

Made level 80 and sorted weaponsmithing to 500 so looking to craft ascended gear. I need Globs of Dark Matter. I cannot seem to salvage Exotic gear using Master Salvaging Kit just won't let me. Am I missing something very obvious?

[Loosmaster.8263]

There are some account bound crafted gear you can't salvage or even toss in the forge. You can only destroy it.

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

Unfortunately, there's no obvious indicator as to which gear can't be salvaged. Among the types that can't be:

* Gear given by the L80 booster

* Karma gear (the exotics are from Orr)

* Certain gear from specific achievements.

* Most back items

[Kaltyn of Torbins Deep.294]

Any exotics that you craft SHOULD be salvageable. Now, Karma gear and some of the stuff that comes from leveling up is not salvageable. Also, the exotic stuff you get from the level 80 boosts cannot be salvaged, nor can it be thrown in the mystic forge.

I purchased some relatively cheap exotics from TP also sent a couple from guild members and nope not working - frustrating or what :anguished:

Something is wrong then. Anything you purchased from TP or were sent via mail should be okay.

Could you take some screen shots of the items you are trying to salvage?

Hope this works - was trying to salvage this item but box is greyed out

You can't salvage exotics that way. You have to double-click the salvage kit and then left-click the exotic.

[Ronan.9518]

For me it seems you are trying to use the salvage all (off rarity xy and below) function. That won't work for exotic.

Just double (left-)click the salvage kit and then (left-)click the item you want to salvage.

Ditto what @"draconicrose.6213" & @"Ronan.9518" said.

Please let us know if that helps. (If not, we can probably come up with some other ideas.)

Thank you - as I said was a NooB question :)
