About Kits: Beginning in pre-Searing Ascalon, you’ll encounter merchants who are willing to sell Dawntide Online Gold items called “kits.” In pre-Searing, the two available kits include a “Salvage Kit” (can be used ten times, costs 50 gold) and an “Identification Kit” (can be used twenty-five times, costs 100 gold).

Once you reach post-Searing Ascalon City, you’ll be able to buy salvage kits that have 25 uses (costs 100g), as well as expert salvage kits (costs 400g). Ideally, you should keep a salvage kit, identification kit, and expert salvage kit in your inventory at all times.

The primary purpose of kits in Guild Wars is to increase the value of items found while adventuring. Using a normal salvage kit on an item will turn it into some type of “common” crafting material – bolts of cloth, or tanned hide squares, for example.

Using an expert salvage kit on an item has the same effect, but it also has a small chance to produce a “rare” crafting material instead, such as bolts of linen or leather squares.

If they’re of the right type, materials can be used at armor crafters to make armor for your character. Perhaps just as importantly, materials often can also be sold to trader NPC’s or other players for more gold than the original item could have been sold.
