Salvaging, which is an important part of the system, will make even the most underused dungeon loot drops useful again. For those of you who choose to play primarily in PvP, we are looking into a solution that will allow you to purchase materials and/or items that can be salvaged for equivalent materials to the PvE drops.
It's not been made clear precisely how players will acquire items' appearance 'styles' or visuals. That is to say, we know players won't have all visuals available at the start ... and style templates will somehow be drops. But as to whether they drop from items while salvaging; that hasn't been clarified yet.
