No, it was only 1 item, and it gave the "No materials could be salvaged" message.

Not sure then, never happened to me before.

I guess it would depend on how the system checks for the quality when salvaging. If it uses the equip's name string, then it might be a bug. If it uses the internal quality value, then it might be because of final quality roll shenanigans. Time to light up the Tenboro Signal?

If it helps, it was one of those older Cotton pieces, the ones which still have Burden.

Very old items had a different quality requirement for "Exquisite", so there's your problem.

Oh, good that all my cotton pieces are of younger date. But at least, a low-grade should has dropped for an exquisite, I think. Or is the gap that big?

It's the same reason Average may yield a material.

Range is wider than advertised.

Someone calls it the 78% rule

stealth patch
-The salvage rate for bindings is now drastically reduced.-

Crude range recycles ~20%, down from ~35%.
Superior range recycles ~25% of bindings, down from about half. Quality seems to have a greatly diminished effect on binding returns!


next patch forecast:
upgraded equipment cannot be sent or transferred, effectively making them cursed items

THERE WON'T BE A NEXT PATCH! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Large Words!
Smaller words...

More like "fixed an bug being actively exploited where single-point upgrades would return the single binding".

Next patch forecast: forge exp reset.

I dunno who massively exploited this (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) .

So it occurs to me that the drop quality formula whatever thingy is still screwy.

Just got this in an Arena on IWBTH. Yeah.

Well, I'm not sure about screwy. For all I know it was completely intended to have crude/fair drop fairly often on the highest difficulty level, I don't know.

Works as intended.

Yay! I'm finally at a higher level than my monsters... for now. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

At least, you had some drop. For me, not even that is happening quite often. Surely makes one wonder if the IWBTH label is just for show.

0.70.5

- Due to a widely exploited bug in how salvaged bindings were calculated, required forge exp per level and forge exp given for upgrades have both been increased by a factor of ten, effectively resetting it.

And you wonder why the people who first found out the bug didn't report it earlier. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
