Monthly achievement EXP points...
A single run of story-mode Arah at level 80 will get you all 100k experience (as the bonus at the end) when you finish the instance, so dying during the final fight has no effect on it. Yeah, getting it through standard leveling or WvW is going to be very difficult, but a dungeon run makes it very very easy.
What level are you? because as you level it get’s easier, since you gain more exp and start to suck less…I think I got my achievement last week when I was like lvl 35.
Still I agree it would be nice that it showed your current progress and not record the best you had.
You can get it quite easily around 50-60+ when events start counting for a fair amount of experience.
I got it through crafting, but my problem was more that I got a bug. Basically, whenever you use a waypoint, zone to another map, change character or log out your exp counter gets reset. So I had to do 100k in one go. :/
A / command like they had in GW1 which tells you how much exp you made since your last death would be mighty useful here, too.
On the same topic but about “lifetime survivor”: has anybody got that working for them? Mine still says 0 / 200.000 though I must have at least 100k, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten the monthly survivor. Very strange…
