Daddicus.6128 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 One can salvage shiny weapons. The game treats them as normal rare items, despite them being almost irreplaceable. If you get one from any source, put it in an invisible bag or your bank, where it can't be auto-salvaged along with the rest of your rare loot.

Donari.5237 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'm lucky enough to never auto-salvage rares since many of my characters keep rare versions of weapons they normally never equip. But even if I did, I found a good way to avoid the issue was to immediately make the ultra-shiny as soon as I had the shiny, meaning I waited to have enough essence to do both tiers before beginning.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I put my Shinies in the bank, then withdrew them for the Mystic Forge once I had the requisite materials. But, I have never used 'Salvage All', anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah, this is just a public service announcement. I got seriously burned by it, so I figure let others learn from my mistake. I did open a ticket, because account-bound really-hard-to-get items simply shouldn't be available to salvage all. I imagine broken Caladbog could be accidentally salvaged, too. Or, there are probably others that fit the model. It's interesting: I got this one from a drop from the djinn energy consumable. It's the only one (so far) in the Wiki's drop research page. So, the odds of getting it back are pretty low, especially given the event ends today. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Oh, really! I got 3 of the Shiny Weapons from the Djinn Energy boxes. Thought they were probably somewhat common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I did like 60-65 bosses over the course of the event just to unlock all the skins. I opened all my djinn thingies as I went along and didn't get any weapons and only one essence. Though quite possibly my good luck with the nodes was just balanced out by my bad luck with the boxes . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of 2000+ clusters, there have been a total of 6 shinies (5 regular, one ultra) recorded on the wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Djinn_Energy_Cluster/Drop_rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Too bad the luck wasn't for the Infusion. :( The weapons were easy enough to acquire either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were probably somewhat common. You were extraordinarily lucky. I've only ever got common line drops and empyreal fragments. I rarely get any node other than azure either, so completing the weapons has been more difficult than I hoped That's your luck for the year used up! edit: bah thought I had a day left to finish the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hope not, there wasn't anything especially amazing/cool about those weapons. Got keys saved up for (hopefully) something good in the tomorrow's BLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary: unlock all 10, you get one of the best titles in the game: _Ultra Shiny_. (A lot cheaper route to being shiny than buying 9 aura-infusions and/or getting a legendary or two.)

Doggie.3184 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I accidentally salvaged mine with salvage all command and ended up sending a support ticket and they mailed it back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I didn't care for any of the shiny or ultra shiny weapons except for the shiny rifle. Loved the Ultra Shiny title though and it was the only reason I completed the collection. The alt who completed the set had been an Honorary Skritt but immediately became Ultra Shiny when it earned the title. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were probably somewhat common. Well, in 2073 attempts recorded on the wiki, there were five shiny weapons and four ultras. But, that's probably just random chance. Still, I'm counting my blessings. :) Edit: Oh, and two of those nine were mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, too. In fact, they mailed it about 10 minutes ago. I was very happy. But, I also then deleted the stuff I got when I salvaged it. They didn't ask me to, but I figured it was only fair.
