I have heard that you have 100% chance to salvage a rune when you find it in the armour of a monster? Can someone tell me if this is true?

It is not 100%, there is still a chance that you won't be able to salvage the rune but it will just turn to a crafting item. I believe however that using a Superior Salvage Kit over a Salvage Kit, will give a much better chance in salvaging the rune, but this I have not confirmed yet.

WRONG ON ALL COUNTS

100% CHANCE OF RUNE SALVAGE FROM DROPPED ARMOR.

SUPERIOR SALVAGE KIT IS IDENTICAL TO EXPERT KIT EXCEPT FOR 100 USES INSTEAD OF 25.

Dropped armor is 100% as far as I've seen it; it's also in the game update notes at http://www.guildwars.com.

i was getting it.

Improved expert salvage kits so that they always successfully salvage a rune from monster-dropped armor that contains a rune. There is still a chance of destroying a rune when using a salvage kit to try to retrieve it from your own armor.

Huh.

Is there an archive of all the game updates made since launch? The one on the official site only goes back so far.

Actually, on the site it has an archive list. It's at the very bottom of the updates page...

Note that you have to ID the Rune FIRST for this 100% to be true.

If you try to salvage it unid'ed it can still backfire.

I confirm this. I got iron ingots before. However, this was a long time ago... Maybe I am luckier now?
