Minion
Salvage 8% base drop rate and 1 in 28 is rare , rounding out to 350 minions per rare salvage
Recipe 2.667% drop rate and 1 in 41 is rare, rounding to 1537 minions per rare recipe
Boss
salvage 25% base drop rate, and 1 in 28, rounding out to 112 bosses per rare salvage
recipe 8% drop rate, 1 in 41 is rares, rounding to 512 bosses per rare recipe.
HOWEVER: This ignores Pool B (mission completes) and Pool C (Merit rolls) and the fact that some recipes require more than 1 rare salvage.
You really should be seeing more rare salvage than rare recipes.

Wow. I don't get anywhere near those results on Rare Salvage. Wish herotracker could work on a Mac, I'd love to find out what I am getting.

Are you on teams? That kills your pool A and salvage results, while leaving pool B and C untouched.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

For example, I just today ran about 5 missions by myself. Got a Prophecy, and 3 recipes that require rare salvage. One was an exploit Weakness which needs a positronic matrix despite being uncommon. So that kind of tweaks the numbers. But still, I got touch of death and Analyze weakness, and only the 1 rare salvage. Was running at -1/x4 so a decent number of enemies. This is pretty normal from my experience. Except I don't normally luck out with something as useful as the touch of death =).
And the merit rolls, really can be ignored for these purposes. I have rolled a few but my "merit wealthiest" character has 286 of them and has never made a roll. Most of my characters have less than 60.

Does anyone know if the rates that rare salvage drops is balanced with the number of recipes that drop that require rare salvage? At any given time there seem to be A LOT more recipes needing salvage than salvage to craft them. And anecdotally, I typically get 7 or 8 recipes that require rare salvage for every piece that drops. But I never actually tracked it.
Just curious.
