According to new Prima guide...

you can salvage ectos from various eye, remains, and some new factions items. you canalso slavage rubies and saphires from things too...And if you think I'm making it up look at the guide Appendix B pgs 215-223

sweet.

i think the bottom of the ecto, gem market is on thin ice now

Keep in mind that Prima totally screwed up the rare materials in their salvage guide for Prophecies. If I recall correctly, they said ecto could be salvaged from four different items (including various eyes) in the GWP Guide. Definately not saying they are wrong again, and I would love if that were true, but I'm not holding my breath.

The last guide was written by Prima. This one isn't.

Well, I do know that the first guide had tons of errors in it, I didn't have the guide so I can't confirm that.

I do know that the new guide was "written and developed by the development team at arenanet" (from back cover).

Umm.......look at the title of this thread.

Where is this guide? I didn't see any announcements about it's sale on guildwars.com.

hi

Anet is not in the publishing business.

they stated that ANET was writing this one not publishing it

Someone had the link in another thread, Amazon.com has it for sale now.
It is written by anet and published (only) by Prima

i got mine at gamestop but someone else got theirs at walmart

I got mine at best buy...I better keep thing short and not say too much people like to pick apart everything

Is there anything on what rubies and saphs do?

Well im guessing that these salvage items are really rare, or that the chance of getting one of those items is really rare, casue if not. anet just pissed of every one that worked for their fissure armor.

look at it this way.

what per cent have fissure armor?

and how many who do not would be very happy if it were easier to get?

piss off a few make a lot very happy.

Early on, rich farmers could get FOW like it was a tee shirt. Anet corrected the problem and made it hard to get (as it was intended).

To someone who slaved hard over it, I do feel bad but I like Fow being easier to get.

It could also be that these drops are in the "eilte" zones and hard to get to.

according to the guide it's ancient eyes, ghostly remains, jade gorget, jade pauldron, shadowy remnants, and I probably missed one or two more

I've confirmed what Quash has said.

According to the new Prima guide that ANET helped develope, they have listed that Ecto, Rubies, Sapphires, Montrous Fangs/Claws/Eyes, etc., will now be salvageable from various item drops.

wow, first they made green items with max stats that drop like rain, now they make it posible for any joe shmoe to get fissure armor.

good job anet, keep messing things up

Does it say waht Rubies and Saphires are used for?
