Salvage supplies

Just out of curiosity, is there much inf to be made as a salvage supplier?

I am finding that for crafting and selling purposes, salvage easily accounts for half (or more) of my cost on worthwhile IOs and it occurs to me someone is probably making a tidy, if modest, sum off of me and others like me.

Normal gameplay aside, with tickets and merits acquiring salvage (especially specific salvage) is trivial, but is it worth it versus rolling for recipes? Much of the recipes I get from rolls are junk, with some selling for 3-12M, versus an almost guaranteed 2ish million per each of 2-4 rare salvage for about the same period of time, but without the work of buying missing salvage and crafting.

Thoughts?

tickets are a pretty good way to get salvage, but recipes are worth SO MUCH MORE IMHO it's just not worth it.

I ran an experiment for a week. I was about to move about 200 uncommon salvage a day no problem. People generally paid an average of twice my asking price (dunno why).

It was low maintenance, but it eats all of a characters market slots.

I was able to clear about 40 mil in one week doing this on 2 characters.

I used 1 kind of salvage (per character) - I paid 500 for them (essentially free) and sold them for 15,000.

Now that you know the potential of what can be made, you can decide if using your tickets to buy salvage is worth it. Imo, its not even close

Yeah, it seemed like a good idea, especially since my luck at the Recipe Slot Machine is...bad. I could probably supply a small army with complete Sleep, taunt, and knockback sets. I make more inf buying recipes to craft and sell, generally.

Is there a bad bronze roll segment? I try to roll mostly in the teens and 30s.

level 10-14 is where you want to roll. Various -kb IOs, the steadfast res/def, regne tissue +regen, some basilks gaze and eradication IOs.


I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

I made my living rolling 35-39.

A relative lack of garbage, lots of very saleable sets and a fair amount of really expensive stuff. Over the course of a few months crafting and selling I made 50+ million per 1500 ticket run, usually closer to 100 million.

I've tried 10-14 but don't like it as much.
