I usually get straightened out eventually. But it seems I am continuously confused nowadays. Perhaps age is taking it's toll. If you all see me back in the dust, perhaps I will catch you in six months or so. Meanwhile, what do I do with all these common artifacts, save them? I still have many many chests full of failed crafting stuff waiting for a future salvage pass.
I would wait for two releases before taking a decision. The team seem to have a great plan for artifacts to include them into crafting, so before doing anything, waiting these 2 months will help you make a decision on whether you would prefer to sell them, salvage them or whatever else! R91 is supposed to answer all our questions!
After reading all these posts, I guess it's time to convert all these rings of air to essences....right?
I personally wouldn't jump the gun, I think some balance passes will help air mages once the dust settles.
