Hiya. I got Chaos Gloves for my sin around 3 weeks ago. And now, I don't really play him, and want a pair for my Monk, so I'm debating whether to salvage them to put the ecto towards the pair for my monk.
I'd just like to know, if anyone else has salvaged them and what they crumbled into.
I know wiki has some information, but I'd rather here it 1st hand so I know if it will be worth it or not.

Thanks.

Salvages into either: 30-40 Piles of Glittering Dust and 2-3 Globs of Ectoplasm, 39 Globs of Ectoplasm, or only Piles of Glittering Dust.

Items can never salvage in 2 separate materials, it's always one.


Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust......errr wait thats part of a song nvm....

Back on topic: they will salvage into dust or ecto (use expert salvage for ecto chance).

My suggestion: they take only 1 slot in inventory, salvaging them will give around 25 ectos? probably a bit less. Should start from scratch for a new pair.

Totally Not Worth It

Do it if you must, but you will regret it - too much chance of getting dust back to make it worth it, and you may really wish you had them on your assassin sometime down the road; what then?

As someone who salvaged full Mesmer FoW and got roughly 80 bolts of cloth, total. I would not recommend it.

lol @ salvaging obsi armor and chaos gloves.....why even waste the time to farm for them, if your going to break them down. seems like a big waste of time....but then again if thats how you like to spend your gw time, then thats all that matters.

i have a theory of the value of an item has a relation to the salvage u get from it

i.e. an item thats 50g compared to an item thats 100g
the 100g item has a higher chance to salvage higher value mats

and the salvage worth (merchant value) will -always- be higher than the item worth

i havent done any serious testing
but i have kept a watch on it on many things i salvage
and it seems to have a relation (as small as it may be)
tho... it could jus be a mind thing

so if ur armour has a merchant value of 600g
i would think that u'd roughly get jus a bit over that in mats
but not ridicoulusly over that like 5000g in mats
(not goin by mat npc trader...ecto is worth 100g merchant value)

this of course is jus all personal speculation

Bad idea is bad.


Seriously, for all the trouble it took to get them you shouldnt salvage them in the first place. Secondly, the remote possibility of modest returns should not be enough to take the gamble.

good idea.

i salvaged my necro fow armor. never liked it, just bought it for HOM, only gor 7 shards

but it doesnt matter since i didnt want it any more

bottom line if u dont want it who cares if u dont have it any more? If u still kind of like it keep it

Imagine how much you spent on them.

Then imagine salvaging some dust from them.

Worth it? Up to you.

NAO.

Serious though, if you need the space, I think you get more from salvaging than merching.

Yeah. I didn't feel like doing eotn on my monk so I just bought them in a rush, and well, I regret it, as i'm mainly PvP player, I don't make that kind of money often.

Why? Just keep them, unless you are tight on space, in which case, throw something else out. I have regretted pretty much every high end armor I have salvaged, for one reason or another.

Well don't be in a rush to salvage the chaos gloves or you will regret that as well. The sin can sit on the shelf for a month or two while you sort the monk out and when you play him again you will be glad you took the time to get the gear you wanted.

Salvage = more regrets don't do it.

If you are never going to use the character again or never wear the gloves again then who cares? Salvage crappy gloves into whatever you get from them. If it is Ecto then woot! If it is dust then make some CONS. A Piece of armor you NEVER wear is worth jack. Might as well take the risk. I have salvaged lots of 15K sets because I don't wear them. Of course I do wear my Necro Obby Armor and dont plan to salvage that I have never bought chaos gloves because I think they Look like doo doo IMO.

well value wise not worth it, time wise..not worth it...but if you want to save and extra 5 ectos or 30 dust off your next pair..go for it.

i got 30 ectos from my chaos gloves, which i'm happy with. I was scared to do it at first given the fact you can get dust from it as well. it's a gamble

All Chaos Gloves are better off salvaged. They all look shit anyway.

Never. You're wasting your resources.

If you want chaos gloves for your monk obtain new ones. Salvaging will not yield you much anyways.

got my own screen when I salvaged my Obsidian armor.

NOT EVEN 1 ECTO OR SHARD!!! -_-;

(Will post if necessary).

So, Salvage it, now..

(kinda contradictory especially after I say that) But DO what I do ONLY if you are sure you are NOT gonna use it anymore.

oh well..

You didn't quote me correctly. Just hit the quote button.

Anyhow- If you rarely make that much money and the gloves are worth a lot to you, than I would just leave them alone.

I wouldn't and this is why. You'll miss the character later on. I've deleted several characters that I even bought elite armor, but I deleted them thinking I would never use them. How I was wrong. Except for the Dervish, they suck. I'm glad he's dead.

I'd keep them just to feel pretty.

There's enough monks with chaos gloves anyway.
