Talk:Charr Hide

Often, I see people trying to buy charr hides for 20-40 gold. Presumably, they're using them for fur squares, which can be sold to the material trader at a profit. Should this go here or somewhere else, perhaps? 70.29.1.126 03:00, 5 April 2006 (CDT)
 * It is probably best to leave it out since prices tend to fluctuate quite a bit. Ryard 07:30, 5 April 2006 (CDT)

Salvage Ratio
Anybody collected some data about the chances to get Fur Squares when salvaged? -Khan Reaper Kerensky 15:02, 15 February 2007 (CST)
 * I salvaged 16 charr hides for 2 fur and 14 tanned hides. Bad salvage rate. --Carmine 19:37, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I got a similar result: Salvaged 21 hides and got 1 fur. -Khan Reaper Kerensky 09:59, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Today, with 10x Tanned Hide worth 150g (buy at 250g), I've decided to salvage one stack of Charr Hide. Got 19 Fur + 131 Hides. So, not worth, unless Tanned Hide Square prices stay high. NIN37 18:13, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you just need Hide, use basic Salvage Kit (4g per use). :P NIN37 18:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Collectible AND salvage - explanation
If I remember correctly in the Open Beta/preview weekends there was no source of fur squares other than bad salvage rates from a few salvageable drops, most of which were only dropped post-Kryta, yet the "Ascalon Armor" or whatever it was called needed it and was offered both on ascalon city and yak's bend. The collector was put in to give a source of fur squares in those low level areas when the game was released. I'm pretty sure that was the case anyway, but it is quite a few years ago now. So I could be wrong. In any case. if you want an explanation for this anomaly on the article, you can add it. I was going to, but I'm not really sure if It's significant enough :) Yay or Nay?

 * Check the May 11th Update here. I think this was the update where it was added.
 * Fixed problems which caused excessive scarcity of Fur Squares, Linen, and Silk.
