hi ill like to know if its 100% chance to salvage a rune from your own armor. if it isnt, will it be 100% if u get a friend to do it for you?

No, it isn't 100%. I typically get about a 50% success rate, give or take, but I don't know if there's an official number on that one. Once I managed to get all my runes back, but usually I get about half of them. It's pretty unfortunate, but that's life.

As for your friend doing it, I've never tried that so I wouldn't know for sure. I don't see what difference that would make, though.

Personally I have been really lucky with runes. But there is always a chance you will mess it up. You freind will not have any more luck then you.

So far I've salvaged two sets of armor and got 3/5 both times. My friend got all 5 out of his. It's pretty random.

I've never heard this before. Where did you get this information?
Is there really a difference in chance depending on your salvage kit use?

Thanks!

Platinum Agent MIGHT, and I stress MIGHT, be onto something. I've only ever bothered salvaging runes out of two sets of armor. Minor runes aren't even worth it I just sell the armor to the merchent. But I had a set of LA Armor with Major Divine, Healing, Protection, and a Superior Smite, Major Vigor. So I wanted to salvage them out. I bought a new Expert Salvage kit, as I didn't have one, and I salvaged 5/5.

For my ranger I purchased a set of drokner druid armor and salvage 5/5 runes out of my druid armor from Druids Overlook....again I had just purchased a new Expert Salvage Kit..

ofcourse it could just be that the world loves the Irish....but it may be worth testing.
