Kyrotech salvage origins question

Thanks for the clarification. Kyrotech salvage bottlenecking never really impacted my progress so much so than it does now which is why I tend to avoid developing newer toons unless they are required for gl events that i actually want to unlock. Before jabba I mostly just bought them whenever they were in various shops or randomly farmed for them if I wasn't focused on shards. I think that because jabba demands so much of the kyrotech salvage just to clear a single gear level I'm finally seeing why so many players hate these things.
