What level range rare items can be salvaged to get globs of ecto and what salvage kits are needed?  Is there any other way to get these other than salvaging?

I believe it's item over level 68, 70 for sure. You get a chance of getting ectos with rares/exotics (yellow/orange) only and you need a salvage kit with a chance of getting upgrade from salvaging. I would recommend to use at least the master salvage kit on rares since they are worth around 20 silver each so you want to have high chance of getting upgrade.

I've heard that the Black Lion salvage kits have a 50/50 shot at ectos from 70+ yellow and orange items, so that's what I use.

One thing to keep in mind is some some items you could salvage for a ecto will sell for more than a ecto is worth on the auction house.

Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check prices before breaking anything down.

Black Lion salvage kits: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Salvage_Kit A coin toss can come up tails a hundred times in a row, Dirk. Next time, you'll get 15 globs from those same 3 exotics. It's all RNG and dumb luck. :)

It is level 68+ Rare/Exotics that can yield Ectos. The Black Lion kit does have 50% chance at rare materials, while the Mystic one has a 25% chance. I've been using my Black Lion Kits, but I'm about to run out. Turns out they cost 300 Gems, or what, like 4 bucks USD? I say if you get them naturally, great, but buying them may not be cost effective. Even the ones you craft in the Mystic Forge is starting to become more expensive than buying 10 of the Yellow quality ones off the vendors, due to gem price inflation.

That's for rare crafting materials, aka Gossamer, Ancient Wood, Orich, etc. Globs are not considered rare materials and unaffected by the kit type. I believe there is an official dev post about it, but don't quote me on that, I'd have to try to find it again. I do know that Dulfy has commented on it, as well as several Reddit posts arguing over Globs and kit types, but there's been no conclusive data. I agree with Arowefell, its just dumb luck of the RNG, so up to the salvager as to what kit they want to use. It might matter in the very long term, but ... eh. I use Basic to break salvage trophies, whites, blues and greens and Masters to break rares, but only for the upgrade recovery chance its (extra silver). I save my BLSKs for items with Superior upgrades that I want back.

@dirkdaring Each chance is an independent chance, so no matter how many you break own the chance of each item dropping ecto is the same and not influenced by the other items.
