The (or at least one) Answer to Fur Squares

The best i ever got was 2 fur squares out of 5 charr hides, the rest were tanned hides. This was sheer arse though, I've got no Idea how I managed it, it was just a fluke. Last time i tried I had 9 charr hides and didn't get any FS, only TH... all up I've attempted to salvage FS from about 30+ charr hides and got only 2 FS out of them all

Hey, if you look at the new guild wars updates they have planned, it says that they are going to make getting fur squares much easier.

I know that the materials dude in the starter area of post-searing does steel (if you have coal?) but I'll check tonight to see if he doesn't do fur. I am assuming you need fur for post-starting post-searing armor because last night I just needed tanned hide to make a set of that cool blue fur lined armor....

Yeah, heard about that. Stupid that armor that costs 150 in ascalon city requires 4 fur squares...I asked somebody selling and they were selling them at 800gp apiece...I'd wait for some damn elite armor at that price.

this is from the update notes site:
Item Scarcity: We are fixing problems which caused excessive scarcity for Fur Squares, Linen, and Silk. All of these will be significantly more common.

yay!!! the update is coming out later this week so hang in there.

Yey..... oh and another item i cant get is Bolt of Cloth (not raw)... where can i get this dam material? What do i use to get upgrade compenents from weapons...Normal or Expert Salvage??

Now that they supposedly fixed the Fur Square scarcity problem... is it able to be crafted from the materials NPC or do we still keep on salvaging them with increased chances?

I saw in regent valley, a crafter can craft Linen but no fur square. If anyone can provide information on these squares, we would be much obliged.

Post-Patch:

I have been getting about 1 Fur in 3 Expert salvages of Charr Hides... I've only done about a dozen of them, so its not scientific, but it appears to have improved dramatically.

In old ascalon (post-searing) there is now a trader who will give you one fur square for 4 char hides. Last name of the girl is Sedgewick. She is the same one who would give you a belt pouch, but now you have a choice between that and a fur square. She is sort of near the materials trader.

Wait so where is this now? Outside Sardelac Sanctum or Ascalon City?

Actually, she's in the city itself, next to one of the Merchants. Calissa Sedgewick.

Nevermind

Okay, I have an answer.. but it's only for people who are currently by the Ascension.

On the map between Destiny's Gorge and the Thirsty River (The mission.) there are those centaur monsters. Their manes, if dropped, have an extremely high rate on Fur squares. I salvaged three manes. Two out of three gave me furs. Three furs each. That's six furs out of three manes, baby. >_>

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but the collector in Ascalon (post-searing) will trade four or five Charr hides for a fur square now, as well as the regular item (belt puch, I think?).

why get fur squares anyway? u get to craft a weak armour ?

you can craft better armor than you already have.....

one of the best armors in the game for arriors use fur squares (the ascalon armor you get in Draknor's Forge i think you need around 30 for a full set)

I got a salvage kit and I can't salvage anything... Im confused.

you have to double click the kit, then target the item. If the item was a quest reward or from a collector however, it will say it cannot be salvaged. The same if it is already a crafting material (i.e. Wood Planks)

I reccommend by the time you get to kryta, or borlis pass, ONLY use expert salvage kits, they pay for themselves.
