Observed Drops for Phantom Residue

value
Is it really 20 gold only? I'm asking bc uw/fow trophies normally have a value of 60 gold. &mdash;Zerpha The Improver 09:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Demonic Fang and Demonic Remains are also valued at 20 gold and drop in UW. --Silver Edge 10:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

superior salvage
I've been doing some farms, and every time I sup salvage a phantom residue i get exactly 5 piles of glittering dust. Shouldn't this be mentioned on the page as well? 84.85.197.187 18:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This may be true, but the cost per use of the superior salvage kit vs. the regular kit isn't a good value for 1 more dust. But I would advise players to always salvage this item because you get far more money for selling the dust, Yoe Dude 09:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I just salvaged seven Phantom Residue with a basic Salvage Kit and six of the seven yielded 5 piles of dust. Robdalf 03:29, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Ecto?
According to the original Prima strategy guide, these can be expert/superior salvaged into globs of ectoplasm. I have the guide in its original physical form and a full scan in pdf. Is there any way to confirm or deny this with Arenanet staff or player's past experience?Yumiko ^,~ 05:08, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You could ask Joe, but I seriously doubt it does (would have heard of it by now). -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 23:32, 15 May 2011 (UTC)


 * It's worth some experimentation (just in case). Based on the conversion rates of Ruby Mauls → Rubies, geodes → gems, and so forth, I'd want to expert sal' 50-100 to be sure. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:25, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * exp. salved 200 to be sure no ecto's. --User The Holy Dragons sig.png The Holy Dragons 21:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
