Diablo – Inferno items salvage vs vendor sell

diablo-3

I've seen a lot of people in inferno salvage their items, is this better than selling to the vendors? I'm always talking about non-auctionable items, of course.

Also I've gotten a legendary resource from a blue item, are these expensive or hard to come across?

It's always better to salvage. You can vendor items for 400-1200, and can salvage and get at least 1 essence that sells for over 2k. You also have a chance to get a tear and fiery brimstone too.

Tears and Fiery Brimstones are % chance to salvage from blues. Fiery Brimstones are % chance to salvage from yellows.(tear and essence guaranteed.) And I have yet to salvage a level 60 legendary...

Oh and FYI, the gear you salvage is: Any level 60 blue or higher Any level 59 ring, amulet, or follower token.

Addition Essences were selling for 2400 last night, and appear to be going up every day...
