Can't deconstruct my items?

amirgelman · May 2015

Since i'm pretty fresh into crafting (level 38), i get much higher level items which sometimes it lets me deconstruct which is great because it lets me move forward faster in crafting.

But most of the time - a lot of items i have are just not there when i try to deconstruct.

What is it up to?

Thanks in advance!

You can only Deconstruct Wood Weapons/Shields, Metal Armor and Weapons, and Clothing Items, you Extract from Glyphs (same thing different word).

However all these things have to be done at the appropriate crafting station, so Wood Station for Staves, Bows, Shields, Blacksmithing Station for Metal stuff, Clothing Station for Cloth and Leather, Enchanting Table for Glyphs.

So, are you at the right station for the items you are deconstructing?

Thanks for your comment!
Yeah I'm at the right station.

Let me put it this way - I do some queats, collect bunch of white\grewn\blue items. When inventory ia full of these items I go to all 3 stations and many of these items do not appear when i go to the deconstruction tab. I end up selling them or use them for research.

Why?

There are some add-ons that prevent you from accidentally deconstructing certain items (ones that you haven't yet researched the trait for, etc). Do you have one of those installed? Aside from that I can't think of any reason why items shouldn't be showing up for decon at the appropriate crafting stations.

Well I never thought of that. I have currently only 3 addons:
- Skyshards
- Minimap
- Slightly Advanced Experience Bar

What do you think?
Maybe I should just disable them all and add them 1 by 1 to see if any of them creates the problem.

I can't recall the details but I think some bound items don't show up to deconstruct. I think (for example) I've sometimes been able to learn at trait by taking apart the Bow from cold harbor (is it cadwells bow or something) yet I cant just deconstruct it for materials.

Pardon if this is an insult, but did you notice that for the crafting screens for Blacksmithing and Woodworking, there are two tabs for the deconstruction dialog, Gear and Weapons? You need to check both categories to see all items. (The Clothing dialog has only one tab, because no weapons in the game are made of leather and cloth.)

L2P noob way = wear only looted gear, forget all knowledge of how to lvl skills, which mundus stones to have, which skills to use.... don't use buff food, slot only potions you find.
