Do purple salvage armors ever produce anything?

Every time I've gotten a purple salvage armor (about 5 times) it has turned into common crafting materials. Can you ever get runes or anything from them?

And make sure you use the expert salvage kits on those purple items, if you are not i mean.

Yeah of course I'm using expert salvage items. But I mean when I get a blue armor, I ALWAYS get the rune out of it; however every time I've had a purple armor I have only gotten crap like tanned hides and whatever.

Of course you only get a rune out of the armour if it has a rune in it - there are lots of purple armour drops that after you identify them have nothing in them.

I'm confused about what you can salvage runes from. Any non-white item? or does it need to say something special? I've gotten 3 purples but none of them said anything about a hidden rune, and when i salvaged them i got nothing except common crafting items.
