Q:
Heya. So, I’m eventually aiming at trying to get all of the achievements in the game, simply ‘cause I think grabbing achievements is a good way to experience everything that game has to offer, as well as tracking the things that I have and haven’t accomplished.
The problem, though, is that I find myself not really enjoying the Sylvari as a race. I like seeing them around, I just don’t really like being them. However, I do still want to get the racial achievements for them before moving on.
My question is, what’s the minimum level that you’re required to have in order to get all of the achievements that are race specific? I know I need at least level 30 to get the personal story achievements, but I noticed a fashion achievement also for purchasing Sylvari specific armor. Is that armor that I can purchase at any level? Or am I going to have to level up higher than 30 to get it. Also, are there any other race specific achievements besides the Personal Story and Fashion? Once I get those, is it safe to delete the Sylvari in favor or something that I enjoy more?
The Long Road
Goal: To have one character of every race, gender, and armor class combination at level 80.
Current progress: Human 4/6 | Charr 1/6 | Norn 1/6 | Sylvari 1/6 | Asura 1/6 | Total: 8/30
I absolutely agree with you, to be honest I really only like the human characters but really enjoy the other races specific zones. Charr are ugly and too large, Sylvari I really wanted to like but just can’t, Norn are too big and seem like they lack intelligence and the little guys Asura are awesome but I don’t really like the squashed armor appearance. Human shows great detail in their armor and clothing and to me is just more appealing.
I am guessing that completing the fashion achievement will be a level 80 thing … sadly. If it were just level 30 I’d be happy, play through their stories, delete and make a human character of that class!

Eck. Yeah. I’m looking at the Fashion Achievement on the Wiki and while it starts with ‘Obtain 1 Specialty Armor’ the next tier up is ‘X6 pieces’ and the one after that ‘X12 pieces.’
Anyone know if I can just, like, buy the specialty armor eventually and still get that particular achievement? Does it still count if you purchase the armor even if you can’t wear it? Or if it’s not even your armor class? Seems like it’d be cost effective to buy all of the Tier 1 armors for all of the armor classes rather than buying the expensive Tier 3 pieces.
I might have to test that out today. See if it adds to the achievement simply for purchase.
