just got this hammer, what should i do?

hey do you guys think i should salvage this? or sell it as it is? or just use it on my hammer warrior?

Sundering Giant Slayers Hammer of Fortitude
16-27
+13% while in stance
Armor Penetration +10% (chance 9%)
Health +30

Expert salvage. The 10/9 mod or the +30 mod can get you a lot of gold. Lucky. I got a rare Half Moon of Pruning, of all things, today.

oh ok thanks!

btw, how much does the 10/9 sundering haft go for? what about the +30hp grip?

I'd keep it if you don't have anything better yet. Use it to bash the hell out of things until you get something better (Assuming you meet requirements of the weapon. Then, salvage it for the upgrades.

I can't remember if you have to break down the weapon to get the unlocked upgrade component. If you have to break it down first, I would break it down, and then put it on a max damage hammer (if you are a hammer player), if not, sell it.

Stick with hammers. They rule.

I love hammers for PvP. Nothing like knocking someone down 4 or 5 times in a few seconds to really tick them off.

i have another rare hammer with max damage but so-so upgrades. but right now im concentrating on my ranger.

so how much does a sundering 10/9 go for? and a +30hp hammer grip?

You can find most upgrade prices here http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=44867

cool thanks!

I hope I can butt in with a question here, I have a Vampiric Shortbow of Enchanting -- not quite max damage (extra dmg. while hexed). The Vampiric string is 4/1 and the grip is 16% longer enchantment...I was told to salvage it, I'd probably get more money than for the bow as a whole.

My question is this: If I salvage it, how do I know which part I will get, the string (which is worth more money) or the grip? Is there any way to know? You only get one upgrade, right? The bow itself would probably be more than the grip cost, so I'm afraid to salvage it and only get the grip.

it's 50/50 to get anything at all. unless it's been changed very recently (and i dont recall any large updates in the last week or 2) you might end up salvaging 14 wood planks out of your so and so bow of so and so. happened to me. i bought one of those "everything must go" packs from someone quitting the game, selling account, who knows. there were TWO hammers with cruel hammer hafts. got wood from one and a grip of +4 armor vs elemental dmg (worthless) from the other. so before you salvage it make damn sure you dont want to use it as-is.

I just about spit out my Wheaties. I hope to everything GW, that there are quest rewards that give you a sundering long sword that is 10/10. I don't use swords, and it was no where near max damage, so I just sold it to a merchant. I thought it was from a quest reward, I didn't remember getting it as a drop. But if I dropped 100K, that would suck for me I guess

Oh well, back to my 2K hoarde of cash.

thank god that list isn't advertised. i bought a 4/-1 vamp hammer haft for 8k about 2 weeks ago .

It's great that these prices are posted....the problem I always find is selling some of the not so popular upgrades. So many people always want max stuff and have all that money to spend, and no one ever thinks well i will spend less than 75% for a good enough upgrade. Plus you got all those out there that buy and sell to make profit and offer crap for your stuff....I hate selling to others.

Lol! I sold a Vampiric Shadow Bow last night. It was worth at least 2x what I sold it for. The buyer kept saying...you know you're cheating yourself, right? Guys if ya'll ever need anything, I am a packrat. Whisper me and I'll check to see if I've got one. I usually sell stuff for about half the market value.

I think the item drops system is back to normal. What i mean is that whenever i farm, i would get weapons that is usefully for my character. Last week, i got 3 gold swords and 2 purple hammers while i was farming!
