My friend said his wintergreen shield broke when he salvaged a mod.
Shakti
ummmmmm ok not to be mean but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? yes, it's normal, it is more common for the item to break. Unless this was a duped ambrace that was a helluv a waste of cash man...
from wiki on salvaging:
Should the player choose to salvage an upgrade, the player will always receive the chosen upgrade. However, there is a chance that the item being salvaged will not be destroyed after salvaging. There is a base 50% chance that the item will remain intact, with an additional 3% chance for each rank in the Treasure Hunter and Wisdom titles. At max level Treasure Hunter and Wisdom, there is a 92% chance of the item remaining intact. Some items, such as Hero armor, cannot actually be destroyed by salvaging.
and no, theres nothing to be done sorry

Well.. Most items have the chance to break when salvaging don't they? If tormented items were un-breakable to salvages then I never knew that - so with that said Anet updated them? Dunno.. someone could fill me in.

Isn't that normal behavior?

What you can do is...in the future do not ever use salvage kits on things you don't want to break.

Says can not be salvaged for materials, but i guess that does not mean it cant be broken.

Maybe people should read the warning that comes up when you try to salvage.
But I suppose this is just a bad troll thread.

Why in Gods name would you even try to salvage a stinking mod off a 100k + ecto shield for anyways? Any mods you could have possibly wanted are no more than 20k at the most. Just OVERWRITE the old ones, dont salvage. If you can afford the shield, you sure as hell should be able to afford the mods. And there is nothing you can do about it. Once its salvaged and breaks its gone forever. Tormented items break the same as any other. And I highly doubt ANET will change that as 99.9% of the community wouldnt try to salvage mods off such an expensive item.

the tormented weapon CAN be destroyed through salvage Mods off it, the describe of tormented weapon is: 1:Can not be sold to merchant, 2:Can not salvage for matirals. However, when u salvage a mod off it, it will give u a warning that u may destroy the item. cuz in this case, u are not salvaging for martirals, so it is not include in the 2nd condition, so yes, u may destory a Tormented weapon through salvaging mods from it

Hammer_Drawn's post is for the win
Why in the world should you risk breaking a 100k+75e (I think... I forget now) weapon to get a 15k mod off of it?

cause someppl just havent realized inscriptions aren't all that helpful. Painfull and expensive thing to find out.
VitisVinifera
guys, Tormented weapons were originally advertised as you can mod them as you please, salvage them as you please, and they will never break.
No I don't have the link but I recall this 100% as true. I'm sure it can be found somewhere, perhaps someone has that handy

Honestly I would like to see where it says that 
Not that I dont believe you I just wanna see 
This just proves one thing. READ before you do
Ill guarantee you that there was a "xx% chance of being broken" displayed just before he pressed the salvage button.

I think he's laughing his butt off right now at people who would believe anyone would be that stupid... that's what I think.
He can't possibly be serious.

Trust me, the world is full of stupid people and some of them probably play Guild Wars. I mean, I do...

thats some uber self pwnage

wow, ive salvaged mods off tormented items at least 6-8 times without them breaking.
i was lead to believe that the quote "This item cannot be salvaged for materials and cannot be sold to a merchant" from wiki meant that they couldnt be destroyed when salvaging.
guess i was lucky then

Lol, the description says it all, "Cannot salvage for MATERIALS!!!!!" Mods are a different thing all together......LMAO!!
Hyper.nl
Hm, I did not know that. I suggest ANet could make it more clear with a warning message as you try to salvage) that the Tormented also can be broken.
But I would not have tried it anyways. These items are way too expensive to take any risk.

hahahahah what an idiot. He's either bad at making troll posts or he's just really really stupid. I got a good laugh from this thread though.

LOL .. if u have all that money why not just replace the inscription?!

To paraphrase Fenix:
Seriously...this is epic fail.

Sorry man, but you got owned by the basic rules of salvaging. Think twice the next time you want to salvage something.

If this was a:
I salvaged my guided by fait inscription from my req8 gold cry sword then the swored =/-*/0*=/-*0/-*=)/(/%/^+%^anet
I would say you fool you really deserved
But the point is on tormented weapons there is a problem that some people understand it never NEVER brokes

I had once a 29% chance of losing my 15k armor while salvaging a superior vigor. Well i lost it but i'd say that was a reasonable risk to take.
i would like to know what kind of material would come out of a tormented weapon. something like the crystal shards (diamonds) out of a crystalline sword

If it still does how can anyone be in doubt that it can never break?
