Guild Wars 2

OK not sure if bug or I’m clueless…

OK… stop laughing I already know I’m clueless.

I got the Initiate pack from the storyline in HOT, and after I complete a chapter I get a pack strap, (will upgrade automatically) and then a buckle (again with the upgrade)

However the pack is sitting in my inventory unused, nothing happened no upgrades. and I didn’t get the strap or the buckle in inventory.

So is this a bug or will the upgrade happen when I finally equip the pack. I mean why equip a rare pack when I’m wearing an exotic.

You will receive the (insert pertinent Order here)’s backpack once you finish the collection.

Good luck.

Also, be careful when you finish the collection. Currently the pack is soulbound on acquire, so whichever character you open the chest for has the item stuck on them.

kitten , I wish I had read this. Finished the achievment by accident on the wrong character, and now got a soulbound backpack where I don’t need it.
My stupidity put aside I think this a a rather strange design decision by Arenanet…

If you do the next level of collection to get the Ascended version, won’t it be Account Bound at that point?

The buckles n such are part of a collection, the rare pack you get itself doesn’t upgrade, when you complete the collection, you will get a new exotic backpiece.

It’s all in your collections tab.

There was a bug where some of the collection items didn’t always count, so check the collection, make sure it’s all there.

You can delete the items once you get it in the collection.
