Wow, finally found my first yellow/orange/gold (whatever color it was supposed to be) item. It was a Beastmaster Armor during the Borliss Pass quest.

Identified it and found out it had a Major Rune of Healing. Suffice to say I was quite excited as this would sell for a hefty sum.

Then... I /cried as the Expert Salvage gave me 3 Iron Ingots.

I had a Minor Rune of Hammer Mastery in some dwarven armor I found, had many other armor parts aswell so I wanted to salvage them first, then use the salvage kit for the runed armor....doubleclicked the normal salvage kit...went exactly at the runed armor with my mouse, even saw the name of it and clicked..........got 1 Hide from it....i was like /doh after

I identified a blue/cyan item and once identified, it turned white, because it has no special property... (was a rather high level item). I also have encountered many (about 2 or 3 post-release, 2-4 more pre-release) purple-named armors which identify with no special stats (but name still remains purple).

Expert salvage kits have about 80% chance of salvaging a rune from a special stated armor I've found.

I had a zealous axe of fortitude, and got the fortitude rune out of it instead of the zealous.

that bites

Going from Yak's Bend to The Gates of Kryta, I found no less than seven purple salvage items. Every single one of them had great stuff... and salvaged into common materials.

I've never been so frustrated in my life. I didn't even think that was possible.

Yeah, I have a Zealous bow of Fortitude and I am a bit worried about salvaging it...I really hope I get the zealous part...

Thats gotta hurt.

Man some freaky mojo happened last night in the surmia mission, I got 2 purple salavage items one after another. Only problem no special stats, I did get an iron ingot I used for my armor thou.

I also had a Zealous Axe of Fortitude.

I got three wood planks out of it.

sounds more like you need "/noob" than you do "/cry"
