Its pot luck i think whether you get either of the upgrade components or the usual salvage stuff.

Guess you've just been unlucky!

Yah, I lost a 10/10 sundering string and a +29 hp mod for 11 wood planks. The bow was 16<50 so its better to salvage the mod.

Absolute worst for me was finding a superior absorption and getting 3 steel.

I tried to sell the 3 steel for 95K, but no one bit.

to be honest im often tempting just to sell non-max stuff with awesome mods unsalvaged; at least that way you can walk away with some cash. Its worth the risk for rich people.

ok, how's that possible... if you used an expert salvage you would have gotten the rune.

Happens a lot... lost 20% enchanting pommel, +30 hp axe grip, warding +7... amongst others...

Maybe a 'Mod Salvage Kit', that only salvages mods?

well they were hammer mods and would have sold for max 15k

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE wood plank prices r goin up,
AND if i invest 20 gold in those planks i could get a roll of parchment (worth 80 gold !!)

my bad luck i guess

I found a gold bow with 5:1 vamp component, then salvaged it and all I got was wood planks =/

It would be kind've nice if Anet created a salvage kit for upgraded components only. If you have more than one upgrade component on the item, you can choose which upgrade you want to salvage.

you win some and you lose some ...

In my early days of solo farming (before the update) I IDed 3 Sup Vigor runes and lost them all to expert salvage. (Later they changed that aspect of the game).
