At this point they have to be ****ing with us.
I have salvaged SOOOO much shit and haven't found anything worth more than rune fragments, certainly nothing that vendors for much .

I haven't even gotten rune fragments.
I simply do not believe people are making those "10-15P" per day by salvaging craftable items, even if those items are runes, I can tell personally, after salvaging over 250 weapons from the first 3 weaponsmith trees, the amount of runes I got compared to the money I've spend on the ores+ power cores+ fluxes needed to craft them, was so little, that I have lost money overall.
I believe this goes the same for armorer and tailor, the costs for the materials is too big, and the chance to get a rune fragment from salvaging them is too small, it's a money loss not a money gain, and it's for damn sure cannot get someone 10 plat a day.
it cost almost 1 gold to make a weapon(and this also applies to armor and tailoring), considering you have to buy a flux and a power core from the vendor, and then you have to buy like 5-6 ores, which are being sold for almost 10 silver each at the CE, that's total of 70-90+ silver. getting a rune from a weapon is a small chance, it's almost a 1/10 chance, sometimes even more, according to my experience, and a rune fragment is being sold for only 3 gold in my server, I lose my money, I don't gain sh*t, and even if I gained there is no way I could make 10 p a day this way, too slow, but that's another story.
so for all of those people who post stuff in this thread saying "I make 10 P a day" but not giving out any actual information on how, not trying to be rude, but please shut up and don't. it helps no one. so for what? Thanks.

It varies a lot per server.
On my server ore is about 3-5s per, cloth is 2-8, and runes go for 5-15g per, depending on what kind of rune you get.
I'm not making 5-15p a day doing this, but I'm making a good 2-3p a day if everything lines up right. But I do think more people are doing it, as the last few days, the rune prices have been on the lower end of the scale than the higher, and the ore/cloth on the higher end of it.
I am making T1-T4 items in Weaponsmithing and Tailoring.
on my server it's under 2g. it's done for.
and again, even you say that you make only 2-3 P a day *if everything lines up right*, yet people are saying they are making 10-15 P a day, so obviously it's not from doing that. but something else they are not saying.
I forgot to mention, this is about 1-2 hours of buying materials and crafting. I guess if you do it 24/7 or automate it somehow then you could make 10-15p a day.
But I do think the resource market would have trouble keeping up with your purchases over time, as I find myself being able to buy 200 to 1k of T1-T4 ore/cloth combined and using those in the 1-2 hour period.
Sometimes I get overbid very fast, and then I end up with BO's that most likely wont be fulfilled, but I'd rather let them stay there until they time out, than to cancel and lose the initial AH fee.
I usually have to stop as the market price of resources becomes too high when I do this. But this would also be some factor that depends on which server I guess.
