Support has answered an associate of mine that the Hobby Dungeon Explorer title should one tier of progress with every dungeon path completed, currently it seems to award progression only with certain paths and not others. Others have reportly repeated certain paths rigorously on a daily basis and had not made progress e.g AC 123 daily as their only runs, thus confirming this is not a N-paths completed issue.

So I am requesting that you all begin to:
1) You keep track of which dungeon paths so we can figure out which paths are correctly giving achievement points so: a) we can update the wiki that so that when Anet support sends non-forum goers to the wiki as a default reply to this problem, players won’t be as perplexed and b) for the sake of all us OCD Anet point lovers who find Anet points important.
AND
2) Report the bug through the in-game feature. It will send your character’s data and dungeons completed to help Anet identify the issue.

Please keep your findings to one post using the edit feature and and state whether any skipping was done. Edit: Findings indicate skipping does not affect this achievement but keep note of it anyway for scientific purposes.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I tried AC as well, but I didn’t complete all exp and the story on the same day.
I never run other stories anymore so I don’t know about the rest. Or is it supposed to progress on each path completed?

I’ll keep track whenever I do a dungeon to see if it grants progress, I’ll let you know Nice initiative for bug tracking.

It’s supposed to grant a tier every path completed as confirmed by support. They don’t seem to know what the issue is/the problem even exists so that’s why we’re here to investigate. :P

You guys don’t skip the trash mobs I suppose? I’ll add them to the list for now until you can confirm further

I’ll keep track whenever I do a dungeon to see if it grants progress, I’ll let you know Nice initiative for bug tracking.

We’ll (hopefully) figure it out in no time with enough dungeon masters taking part in this little project!

Oh and please do keep track of which character you used for each path incase it really is a grant one tier after X paths done issue that’s character bound. Pretty sure there has to be a pattern SOMEwhere!

Ok I can confirm that TA Up path grants a point for the hobby achievement, we skipped all mobs (except spiders) and I still got it. Nothing for the other 2 paths (skipped mobs also)

I assumed it leveled up randomly and didn’t bother questioning it

Thanks for your inputs, your findings seem to agree with mine and that’s showing me I’m on the right track ;D

I assumed it leveled up randomly and didn’t bother questioning it

I did so too until someone suggested to me that indeed only certain paths are working and I began to record my dungeon runs. It’s also helping me remember which paths I’ve already done each day which can get confusing when I do 8+ dungeon paths a day (which is what peeved me to find out why I wasn’t getting achievement points from it at all!).

As yet untested and more confirmation maybe required but this little project has indicated that a daily run of CM1, TA up, SE3, CoF1 and HotW1 may be the best way to earn achievement points from dungeons. i.e the only 5 known paths of the 25 giving Hobby Dungeon Explorer tier progression.

Thanks for the info, again consistent with the current findings again; only CM1, TA up, SE3, CoF1 and HotW1 contributes to the achievement. Skipping does not seem to affect this.

I’d like info on SE1, CoF3 and Arah 1 and 2 but FotM is making it difficult to get a team/is so much more rewarding. Very glad I did all those other 21 paths over the 3 days before FoTM release.
