Does anybody know what the chances are of getting ecto or shards out of this and how many? If I decided to, would I have to use a regular salvage kit since the pieces are already runed? (or can I remove runes?)
Thanks

If you use a normal salvage kit you'll get only normal crafting materials like ingots or cloth as normal salvage kits wont produce rare materials
If you used an expert or superior kit you might get a rare material but i really dont know, but i do know that if a rune is attached an expert kit will salvage only the rune

I had the unfortunate requirement of salvaging obsid gloves and boots from the necro on my second account that i got rid of 6 months ago. I had no runes on the gear and got 11 ectos from it. A guild mate tried the same on his, he had runes already on it, and all he got was the runes.

^ that hurts.... but i heard that in Nigh fall you will be avle to choose WHAT to salvage out of a weapon, maby this will also be applyable to salvaging armor?

No way! I heard there were new salvage options but didnt't know this is what it was 
There has to be some downside to it somewhere, surely?

Thanks for the replies.
You got 11 ectos from just the boots and the gloves? That's better than I expected 
Maybe I'll wait to see what Nightfall has to offer in terms of salvage control.

This is utterly awesome if it's true. No more hitting the 1% chance to get wood/steel from something with max mods.

^Man I'm sooo lucky to get that 1% each time -_-

Expect those salvage options to only apply to Nightfall equipment. Remember how the storage upgrades are?

Is there no way to remove runes then?

It damn better retroactively apply to old items, because I'm keeping two bags full of random 15^50 weapons to salvage and sell the mod >.>

please tell me the difference between a *FIERY AXE HAFT* picked up in either chapter one or Factions or presumably Nightfall as well.
well ok it is identical but we will only guarantee it if it comes from Nightfall.............right.
this is listed as a global change to the *SALVAGE SYSTEM* not a chapter only tweek

Now that Nightfall is out, does anybody know if this new salvage system will let me choose rare materials or rune?
