Guild Wars 2

I’ve had 15/16 achievements for the past couple days, can’t for the life of me do the torch run, can’t get into the pavilion again without doing Sacrlet’s playhouse (won’t even attempt) so I can’t get Champion of the Council, I doubt I’ll be able to visit 30 towers and I don’t want to camp towers in Kryta for Champion of the Crown so I figured hey, I’ve already gotten some achievements from just the Daily’s so why not my last one. Today’s is the one where you just have to use a balloon to travel to Divinity’s Reach. Except when I did it, it only counted toward the regular daily achievements and didn’t complete the meta achievement. Was it because I’ve already used that particular achievement towards the meta or that I’ve used to many daily achievements toward the meta already? Or was it just bugged? Because I’d really rather not camp a tower for escort missions or do Scarlet’s Playhouse to get back to the pavilion…

I think it only counts onetime. Do the torches, trust me, the easiest! All in Divinity reach as well, so no need to run around the map. If you fail a specific torch run, then know that you took a wrong turn at some point. You can even have a friend keep you buffed up with swiftness. Helps.

I was having trouble with the torch run also so here is what I did.

1. Redid my traits on character to add the trait speed increase traits.
2. Looked at the map on dulfy
3. Walked myself through the location of each torch on that specific run to be sure I had the route down
4. Took the speed buff from the nearest person giving the speed buffs
5. then took the quest and ran it

I was failing each time until I went through those steps. By using that approach I got each one first try.

Hope this helps.
