From what i've READ, you can choose the mod, and it removes the mod, and lets you keep the weapon. I'm not 100% on this, as I sasid, I've heard this is how it was.
But, in the case that I am wrong then yes, you can choose the mod you get from it.

Yeah, you can take both mods off and still have the weapon intact. The information comes right out of the PC Gamer article.

ok, good to know, I can finally take some near perfect mods off my old weapons and make some money to help pay for the perfect version of that mod :P

The information in PC Gamer suggests that the inherent mod can be removed, such as +15% over 50% or +20% while hexed, not the mods. The inherent mods are going to be called inscriptions, but I read it to mean that the fortitude/sundering etc mods will not work that way

They said in the mag that all mods can be removed, I have it sitting right in front of me, I can scan the paragraph and post it later.

Please do.
I just read it at my friends house the other day and must have read it wrong. If you are correct, then that will be, for lack of a better word, rad

As I'm sure you've heard at least a hundred times... GW is a game of skill, not grinding. So even a complete "noob" can walk into the game and be given the same opportunities as a year long player and uberfarmer. So... even the new player can get a 15^50, +30, 20/20 sword.. they're not just for the rich.

I agree with the above poster about this game being of skill, not items.
But, I'm betting that Anet is going to put some consequence in there so that the market doesn't drop through the floor. Unless they want that to happen.

Actually, both of you are correct. I just opened my copy of PC Gamer and the 'inscriptions' is mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph, while the mod salvage is mentioned on the last few sentences.
I thought about this over the weekend. But I think Anet is trying to take control of the economy as far as the weapons are concerned. Now you won't see these "whakko" asking prices in Kaineng and Lion's Arch anymore-at least I hope. The pricing for weapons is just unreasonable-IMHO.
But then again, it says you can sell the 'inscriptions' too..so it could get worse as well. :(
@CaptBobby, pls. don't scan and post the paragraph as we cannot allow that since it's a copyrighted product.
I will just quote from it:
| QUOTE | "Inscriptions" will take the place of the inherent bonus modifiers.....can be transferred between most weapons or sold.....
...will also help crafters by allowing them to select which component ...with the extra bonus of not having the ..weapon disintegrate..." |
quoted from PC Gamer, Issue #154, Nov 2006

why you salvaged it then?
and guys you are forgetting something, you think this is ssooo great, BUT when everyone can do this, a +30hp mod will go for 5k lol, so dont think your gonna be ssooo roch, your mods aren't special then anymore

Well, I would say this is gonna help a LOT with the weapons everyone is carrying around. I personally either find an imperfect ^50 mod, with a low requirement, or a 15^50 with a 13 requirement, it gets extreamly annoying, but now I will be able to get the 15^50 from the high requirement, and make my own low requirement 15^50 instead of having to buy one for 20k+

i agree, it's not about the grinding, but having something you worked for, got lucky and found, whatever, turned to sh*t because anet has no idea re. econimics, or isnt taking the time to understand them, is ridiculous. Why not just make starter weapons all perfect, all max damage? or at least all max damage that the level of character can use?

My heart drops for you. I've lost two Sup Vigor runes when I transitioned from 1.5k armor to 15k. Now that sucks. Especially when the runes @ the time where 45-60k.

I got a golden 7-15 composite bow req 5, health +30 ebon damage, 15^50 in nightfall...i was crushed as well since it wasn't max and i couldn't sell it at all since all your items in nightfall get wiped after the event was over.
The Characters under this account are currently taking a break from Guild Wars. For the time being, I am diverting my time to Star Wars Galaxies. *don't worry i will be back when nightfall comes out*

If we're able to salvage whatever mod we want, the inscriptions... it's not worth getting a perfect weapon anymore... There's no prestige in something perfect which you worked hard for.
OMG, that's gonna suck so hard...

Magazines do get it wrong sometimes, not only that, but ANet can change their minds at any time. Gale said the article is the most accurate, she didn't say it's completely accurate.
You guys always seems to forget, ANet listens, and if they find out the majority of people who buy their game dislike a certain feature - they scrap it.
Personally, I see this as a bonus, a positive, it may reduce the cost of 'whole' weapons, but individual weapons and mods will benefit. Like someone said, who's to stop someone buying a clean requirement 7 skin and adding a 15^50 mod to it. Well that means req 7 weapons with rare skins will all become marketable, and not just merchant food. Same as popular mods, they're expensive because there's a desire for them... You won't see every single player running around with perfect Crystallines, as there just aren't enough of them. And IMO they're damn ugly... so here's one less person that would have one.
Now unless you farm for just gold, no real wealth in this game is strictly based on the effort you put in. I could casually go out with hench and find a weapon worth 100s of K, or I could farm for 15 hours and make the same amount. Is being lucky the same as working hard?
The economy also has a way of recycling itself, we're gonna have new armors, skills, weapons and mini-pets every 6 months - I for one spent nearly 500k when Factions was released on said luxuries. There's always going to be something to spend money on.

Somehow the results of this will pan out in some way or another.But you won't see everyone with a Crystalline because they're extremely rare drops and not everyone gets that lucky.I really doubt the price would decrease just because of inherent mods as well due to their extreme rarity but someway or another a new market will open up.Like Genesis Dragon said it's possible for the req7 items to become the new market after Nightfall,who knows?We will see very soon.
Another thing is that alot of people can't afford or just don't want to pay 100k+xx amount of ectos for any item with say perfect mods,and people seem to sell rare skinned items with these mods for outrageous prices even when the real values lies in the skin and requirement as well as the inherent mod.We'll see what Anet has in store for the future of rare items though with the option to salvage the inherent mod,alot of things will change but maybe for the best so don't go all skeptical yet.
There's always an available market for other things as well.But who wants to pay 70k for a 20/20 sundering sword hilt?Anyone could stumble on a perfect item,or a perfect mod just because of random dumb luck.Or anyone could farm for hours on end and finally get a perfect drop.Getting great loot doesn't always come with hard work,but random luck.There's no certainty to that,but there is certainty that if you spend time saving,and being patient with your efforts that you'll have something worth the effort including armour.

I for one would love to choose what upgrade I get. Not only for the reason to sell but to upgrade my own weapons. Purely for the reason that I do not have a truck load of money or materials and cannot afford that ultimate green sword/shield/whatever.
If that is in Nightfall, then i'll buy it def. How about changing storage so that u can store collectables e.g tusks like the materials? I haven't read much about Nightfall so have no idea what changes are planned.

I agree, i used expert salvage kit on a sword with a 20/20 enchanting mod and got like 2 steel ingots.
