Decon gold jewelry - how many platings are returned?
If I were to buy a gold ring or gold necklace from the Golden Vendor and try to deconstruct it, what would I get? Specifically, how many Chromium platings or grains? Would like to know before I waste AP on it. Thanks.

✭✭✭✭✭You have a chance to get one grain. Sometimes you'll get no grains at all. Only the actual material (platinum) is guaranteed when you are deconstructing.3 -
That is so sad. I thought I read somewhere that you got 4 platings. Glad I asked first....I would have been pissed!

✭✭✭✭✭With maxed decon passives, you have a 50% chance at a single grain.
But with small sample sizes, like if you're just deconning a few dozen rings, the actual results could be quite a bit more or less than 50%, just due to the nature of randomness and small sample sizes. With enough decons (hundreds of rings), you should be seeing 50%.
But, no, it's never a good idea to buy golden rings from the vendor just for decon. That's a such a bad waste of gold/AP. The only things I decon are the BoP jewelry from vet trials. The BoE golden jewelry from PvP leaderboards are worth more to sell.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

stitchesofdooom✭✭✭✭deconstructing jewelry should either give back a whole plating instead of unrefined grains, or grains should give up to 10 platings. Jewelry platings are disgustingly scarce.Say NO to Crown Crates. Crown Crates are Loot Boxes. Loot Boxes are gambling. Zenimax makes enough money off us.
ESO+ is part of the "Games as a service" trend. A trend that needs to die. Subscribe only when you need Crowns for DLC.
Say no to "radiant" junk quests replacing proper side content and the dumbing down of our favorite franchises.
