I don't know if this is confirmed, but in my experience lower level mobs drops gold items that are less likely to salvage successfully. So if you've be been farming mostly < level 20 mobs, that might explain it.

Seriously, I've been burned more than once with salvage kits. I tried salvaging a superior vigor from my old warrior armor once and didn't get it. It was worth 60k at the time.

YA what he said for runes salvage with a superior or expert, never a normal salvage, I did that with a superior absorbtion as a noob when it was 60k and got like 13g worth of mats.

To my knowledge, superior and expert salvage kits only differ in the number of charges, not in what and how they salvage.

It's been largely speculated that to salvage a mod off of a weapon, you basically have a 33% chance of doing so. That chance increases if there is only one mod on a weapon.

In other words, for an axe...

33% chance of salvaging the axe haft
33% chance of salvaging the axe grip
33% chance of getting iron/wood/steel.

If there is no axe haft, for example, you have a 50% chance of getting either the axe grip or the materials.

But, again, that's speculation that people have tried to test, but frankly the sample size is usually way too small to prove it with any statistical accuracy.
