The Unofficial Guild Wars Gold Guide
Making the Most of Kits
Glowing Hearts dropped by fire imps; these can be expert salvaged to yield “Lump of Charcoal,” a rare material.
and Materials
- Keep a normal salvage kit on hand for
salvaging low-value wooden weapons and other items that are cluttering your inventory.
Kit Tips:
- Try to use every charge of each kit.
Selling a nearly-depleted kit back to a merchant isn’t cost-effective.
- If you’re collecting Charr Hides in
Ascalon, don’t waste expert salvage charges on them trying to get a “Fur Square.” Due to the low probability of getting a rare material from salvaging, it’s more profitable overall to give four hides to the collector in post-Searing Ascalon City in exchange for a square.
- Late in the PvE Campaigns, avoid
buying Superior Identification Kits and especially Superior Salvage Kits. These 100-charge kits are convenient but cost 25% more gold overall than buying their 25-charge counterparts. The wasted 100g or 400g per Superior Kit can add up to dozens of wasted platinum over time.
- When upgrading your equipment, don’t
forget to expert salvage your old armor to recover runes that were attached to it.
- Not all dropped items with blue or
purple names are actually “unidentified.” Very rarely, such an item will drop without the “unidentified” tag, and using an identification kit will only reveal the item’s value. This is basically a waste of a charge, so make sure the item is actually “unidentified” before using the kit. This happens most commonly in pre-Searing Ascalon.
Material Tips:
- Before you begin selling any of your
crafting materials to a trader or other players, head to an armorer and familiarize yourself with the common and rare components needed for your profession’s armor. Save those types of materials, since you may need them later.
- If you need rare materials in order to

craft a certain piece of armor, one option is to pay an artisan NPC (in both gold and common materials) to make that rare material. Unfortunately, artisans usually aren’t worth the trouble to find unless the trader price on a rare material you need is
charges for actual salvage items and low-value metal weapons. Those two types of items have a chance to give rare crafting materials when expert salvaged, and most others do not. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as the
