Ok...read the whole stuff and found it:
Other Changes
Gear Accelerations items will have their Salvager conversion to Relic Materials reduced by 50%
Helps ensure these changes accelerate gear, but remain net-neutral to the Relic system
BUT:
I dont get the "net-neutral" part. As i see it, it is now faster to get to Relic 1...but it becomes twice as long to get to higher relic levels...no?

Or are the RELIC gear TWICE as probable...and so i get double gear and therefore it is worth 50% for Relicing so that progress keeps the same speed...is this it? It does not feel that way...but it may be a perspective thing...

This is it, the gear to get those relic pieces has been doubled, so with the cost halved, it takes the same amount of time. Challenge gear hasn't been doubled again, since they doubled it last year.

Did they double it? Pretty sure they just added missing core gear.

Genuine question… which gear items from daily challenges are used to craft Carbonite Circuit Boards?

Right.

Those pieces currently need 35 salvage per CCB. Before the exchange rate nerf they needed 17.5 salvage per CCB.

I haven’t checked how many of them we get in an average week, but @DarthCha0s13 ’s claim that this is a “large source” of CCB gear seems a little overstated to me.

It's the smaller conversion rate too, so 'large' may be a bit of an overstatement, but it's also a completely passive source that was halved, so CGs claim of net neutral doesn't totally hold up. Maybe a single relic level per month or two (I'm too lazy to math today) but it's not nothing...

Agree on both accounts: overstatement but can’t deny that’s not net neutral.

Still, i bet (don’t have any math to back it up) that with the changes they made in tb and the doubling of old gear that allow to farm something else instead about every player will get more stuff than before on the whole.
