Salvage is now officially dead?

After going over the stats for the new AF3 gear I think that the end result for salvage gear is to be placed in storage ; ;
Lol wow and to think i was gonna go after salvage gear
Yeah, only things I can think of being useful still are Morrigan's hands (till next update I'm sure), Skadi feet for movement? And Ares's Cuirass is still top for Steel Cyclone and a decent piece for refresh.
There are a few pieces still worthwhile if you're willing to spend the money still. I wouldn't blow 8~12M for a Salvage body now with the addition of hands/body most likely coming in 3 months however others could justify doing so.
Morrigan hands arent that good anymore since that galka nm I believe a few updates ago drops the mnd and macc cuffs the brown ones forgot the name. Then there is teal cuffs also 5macc. Zmitts+1 obviously better than morri cuffs too or af+1 hands for blm if u want a skill build. I own cuffs but tbh they have been beaten long ago. Real question is does a mix build beat 5/5 morrigan or not anymore and not just when you can use af2 tonban. I havent done the maths.

I was leaning more to them being useful for INT enfeebles, like sleeps. And yeah, Morrigan's is obsolete aside from body after this update in terms of nuking. 7MAB on legs destroys Morrigan's pants for nukes, feet always sucked for nukes, head useless without full set etc. Valefor.Neokenesis

i hear that they plan on adding salvage gear to the trials to be augmented in the future because they did not want to break gear that people put alot of time and money getting im not 100 percent sure just something i heard

Thats what im saying just need to do the maths on a mix build vs full morrigan build. using af3 legs, selenian cap i assume morri body zmitts+1 and w/e feet is still best yigit? idk.

Fenrir.Nightfyre said: I still need legs :< But yeah, Salvage gear got *** destroyed this update aside from the bodies and stuff like Skadi feet. I was trying to finish set, need head still. Gonna assume SAM body piece will trump Usu so meh I guess I save myself some time and money. Inb4alexandritesworthmorethandynamiscurrency.

Sylph.Oddin said: Inb4alexandritesworthmorethandynamiscurrency. I'd still consider getting the pieces and holding off on the upgrades in case trials for Salvage gear do get added. Those would have to be some pretty beast augments though to beat things like what MNK got today.
Also 5k really? I need to check prices, I have stacks and stacks of alex in storage lol. I honestly don't expect them to go all that high seeing as a good majority of mythics aren't worth it but I do feel sorry for the people stuck in the middle of one hoping to finish it relatively soon. Their day just got super shitty.

I've been having a hard time getting people to go to salvage, used to be so consistent like 5x/week, then 1 run every 2 weeks, probably won't see a run for a while now. Shame though, salvage is pretty fun low drop rates aside.
I did shout runs every single day for the past 6 months. Now I probably won't seen another run ever again unless I convince some very bored friends to come along. AND I'm now 14/15 on Usukane set... God damn 35 hands...
Lol and I had finally gotten my 25 morri body... like 1/33 /sigh

AND I'm now 14/15 on Usukane set... God damn 35 hands... At least you have body :< I look so pro in my Domaru. Yeah I am fortunate. I just wish I could of finished the set before this update came. I had a feeling something like this would knock Salvage out for a while.
just gotta keep faith that SE will see the light and upgrade salvage gear...it wouldn't take much effort to make trials for them >_> hell maybe even something like limbus where you use alexandrite to upgrade it. anything!

AND I'm now 14/15 on Usukane set... God damn 35 hands... August 2006 to August 2010 and im still 14/15 usu ... Id say bout 600 qiqirn treasure hunters 1st drop in 2006 went to Terran who didnt appraise for years, I think he has quit now too not that he is to blame at all. Only other macha coat drop febuary this year I gave to Bahamuth. /feels your pain, but im fairly sure im unluckier lol. Valefor.Neokenesis

I only made this thread cause after a 1yr 1/2 and just recently completing 2 full sets a few weeks ago and 0 gil left in bank, I feel very sad about todays update. Full usu and full morri and everything besides bodies will probably end up in storage. MNK/NIN/SAM RDM/BLM all just got something better mix'n'match ; ;
2 full sets in a year and a half I feel your pain but count yourself lucky you got it so fast tbh even if you only had a short period of time 5/5 usu reigned strong its better than 14/15 usu. At least youre getting to lvl to 85 in it assuming you arent using ursine claws.
I doubt SE would allow Salvage gear to just die out after making drop rates so abysmal and making people spend so much time/effort/gil on it. Im almost certain after next update Salvage gear will be augmentable in some way via Magians.
/sigh
Was so looking forward to a full Marduk set. <3 It for Brd. Almost seems pointless now to keep trying :( Hope SE augments. Wouldn't say it's dead yet! Just because there are new pieces out doesn't mean they're going to be easy to obtain in their final +2 or whatever form.
Besides, I still have faith SE will do some set of trials ot upgrade salvage armor when the next update rolls around. Then again, SE seems to like to t(^_^t) to players a lot =\ But, I'll still go on shouts with you Oddin! ^^ And yeah, Macha's Coat is just a myth. |
