Guild Wars 2

Is there a certain ley line to get this achievement through? I have the mastery unlocked and have been gliding along ley lines with and against their direction. I have yet to unlock the achievement and don’t know why. Everyone I ask and everything I read says just find any of the numerous ley lines all over the map and just glide along it, yet still no achievement?

Are you sure you are gliding on the ley lines and not one of the many things that resemble ley lines? Gliding on the ley lines pushes you very forcefully so gliding against their direction shouldn’t be possible.

There is the PoI in south lane that requires ley line gliding to get to so if you got there without taking a mesmer portal you should have gotten it. It is either “Ley Line Overlook” or “Ley Line Boneyard”.

The Wiki is a wealth of information:

‘To get the Ley Line Glider achievement, you need to get to the Ley Line Overlook point of interest. It doesn’t matter how you get there.’

Thanks! I could have sworn I glided along those before especially at the final meta event. I went to the POI for ley line overlook and got the achievement. It was weird though. It took me several times because I kept missing or falling off the small tunnel. Didn’t get the achievement the 4 or 5 times I tried. Finally made it to the short tunnel, still no achievement, but once I made it to the small ledge directly east of it and hopped up one more then I got the achievement.

Looking at the wiki was the first thing I did, btw.

I missed that, because when I read it, it just says: “Glide along ley lines in Dragon’s Stand.” Which is something I thought I did. I don’t see anything about the overlook until I look at the notes at the bottom of the page. I didn’t bother to scroll there and look at notes because I thought what it said about gliding along ley lines pretty straight forward, perhaps the achievement only triggers at that location? If so, either Anet needs to clarify that in their achievement panel because it says nothing about the POI, or it’s a bug?

I had issues when trying to do that achievement as well. It was my understanding that we had to get the POI to complete the achievement, instead of just randomly gliding along ones in DS. Very poorly worded, I had to also look it up instead of being able to follow what the achievement guidelines said to do.
