Ok this is something that is confusing me.

Since the May 17 update, it is said it is no longer require to get the Auric Backplate (a reward from getting Auric weapons) but where does this leave the Auric Back Shielding?

From that link it said that I need to get the Auric Backplate first in order fo this to be unlock?

As of now, I haven’t got all of the Auric weapons and that item is not avialible for me yet so that claim about not needing the Auric Backplate for the Luminate’s Backplate achievement is false then?

Originally, the Luminate’s Backplate collection was locked so you couldn’t start working on it at all until after you’d finished the Auric Backplate collection. What changed recently was that Luminate’s Backplate collection is unlocked from the start, so you can work on both collections at the same time, but you can’t finish the Luminate’s Backplate until after you’ve finished the Auric Backplate.
