Charr Salvage Kit

Summary
Charr Salvage Kits are functionally identical to Expert and Superiors.
 * Rare crafting materials can only be salvaged using Expert, Superior, or Charr Salvage kits.
 * Salvaging runes from armor and weapon upgrades require Expert, Superior or Charr Salvage kits. This is only necessary if you intend to use or sell the rune in the PvE game; to simply unlock the rune or upgrade, you just need to identify the item.
 * There are only five uses per kit.

For more information on salvaging and upgrading, including the success rates of using a Charr salvage kit, see Salvage.

Where to Get It
Charr salvage kits are obtained in Presearing in the Prophecies chapter of Guild Wars. It is unknown if the kits are only dropped from the four Charr bosses in the Northlands or if all Charr can drop the kit in Presearing.

How To Use
Double-click the Charr Salvage Kit icon, (You will hear an unzipping sound) then click the item you wish to salvage. The item is then converted into crafting material, a weapon upgrade or a rune, whichever is applicable. If more than one is available, a selection window will appear, and there will also be the option to cancel the salvage attempt. The salvaged component will then appear in the first open slot in your inventory. If the salvage was crafting materials, they will stack with other existing materials in the inventory (up to 250 a stack). If no free spot is available, the item will not be salvaged and you will see a text message informing you of the situation.

Miscellanous

 * Charr Salvage Kits started dropping on 06/22/07 after an update from ArenaNet. The reasoning behind the salvage kit seems to have started from the community members that had posted in the forums of three fansites, Presearing.com, GuildWarsGuru , and GWOnline.
