Q:

Greetings Tyrians,

So I am on halfway to completing my last Leystone armor Collection, which is the Heavy one since I took a quite a break from collecting the HoT armors, but this is the last one, finally,

I’ve done the HoT story on 9 or 10 characters already, but sure I can do it till I have the full armor aswell but it’s getting boring after so many times.
So I was wondering, one of the last chapters before you’re entering the Chasm to find Mord, Bitter Harvest will show you an achievement if you succeed to avoid getting attacked by roots.
I’ve simply ignored it sometimes playing with my alts cuz I just wanted to get it done already, but now I see it will give you quite a few Crystalline Ores anyhow.
Since I’ve already finished Bladed armor I do no longer need to save for Airships parts.
Meaning I can buy the remaining Leystone chests from the Vendor.

So, my question is, are you able to re-play that chapter with characters who have already completed the HoT story but failed to ’achive’ this achievement or are you able to re-play, re-play and re-play it on the same character? To farm Crystalline Ores.

Thank you!

A:

You only get the “completed the story” rewards once per character and the “completed the achievement/challenge” rewards once per account.

Just to clarify, as I think it’s what the OP is asking – you can redo Bitter Harvest with a character who has already completed it to attempt any achievements you failed the first time. Once one character has completed the achievement and got the rewards, you can’t get the achievement rewards again, regardless of which character you use.

However, I agree with Illconceived Was Na, farming the Dragon’s Stand events is a better way to get crystalline ore, as you also get plenty of other loot at the same time, there are a lot of mastery points that can be obtained there just by doing the events you have to do as part of the meta event, and it’s good exp for levelling up masteries.

You can take other toons through the story, but that’s not nearly as efficient as participating in the Dragon’s Stand meta (and, in my opinion, not nearly as fun, and I am not a huge fan of hour-long meta events).

Even on an empty DS map, there are usually 2-3 pods per lane. It’s not hard to avoid the mobs.

Ok thanks guys.
Just did the Meta in DS, only need the legpiece now, but I will do the story once again on an alt to get the Leystone reward chest after Mord’s defeat in story.

Better to get them from Dragon’s Stand. Farm other map currencies and then buy machetes. I’ve been averaging 120 ore per map with ocassions where I get much more.
