Break down IOs

In other games, you can break down items into their basic components. I think being able to do that here would be helpful. Just for basic IOs, no sets (at least not at first). You wouldn't always get everything back. You may get one piece of salvage or a recipe if you are lucky. This way we won't see thousands of lv45 Disorient IOs up for auction for just one credit. There's badge potential here too.

 

I hear you on this, but I think the fact that crafting only goes one way is probably best for the system.  The rate at which salvage enters the system is tremendous, and the fact that it is all fungible by rarity simplifies everything even more.  Recipes to a lesser extent, but still comes in at a great rate.  I don't think that there is a strong argument for doing this from a scarcity angle.

TBH, that's my hang-up. I don't like just deleting things I made. IKEA effect and all that.

 

If this is the angle, than how about having the stores buy non-set IOs for a set price per level?

In general, you can't sell non-set IO's on the AH for what it cost to make them before memorizing them and, many times, not even for the cost of them if memorized.

I'm assuming it would be some low ball amount like one would get for selling non-invention enhancement at the stores.

 

What do you think would make it it a fair price for each 5 levels taking into account the reduced return for selling to a store instead of using the AH? (level 10, level 15, level 20, etc.)
