Armor Question / Fur Patch

Hey guys, R H I N E S T O N E here with another question.
Recently (yesterday) I found myself at Yaks Bend, there i discovered and Armor dealer. I looked and I finally found a Chest piece for a Warrior, now I noticed that the armor was better then the stuff in Ascalon (Duh). My question is, should I save my money and wait for the later zones in the game for better armor upgrades, or is this piece of gear good enough that I should go ahead and spend most of my money to obtain it!

Also, it requires fur patches. I have already bought 1 for 1.5k and I was just wondering were you can get them at.

Thanks guys~

i overheard someone else at yak's saying they are from using expert salvage kits on hides

i have recieved many wierd and wonderful things from using those kits...sword pommels, staff wraps, runes

the expensive part is that you never know what you'll get...with the same item i'll get steel one time and a sword upgrade the next and an iron ingot the next

Where can I buy Expert Salvage Kits? Thanks!

Yak's Bend has them I think (400G)


EDIT: BTW, only use that kit on blue or higher salvage items.

How many uses do you get with salvage kits, same as with the identification kits? 50ish? Also when should you use an expert kit rather then a normal salvage kit? I have a few items that say "Highly Salvageable." Should those just be done with normal kits?

Expert kits have a much better chance of getting you a much better salvage( better item) You get 25 uses with them.

Normal salvage except with blue/purple/yellow items. For the colored-text ones, ID first, then expert salvage them if you feel like it.

How can you tell If an item is salvageable?? Does it tell you outright or do you need to identify an item first??
