HoT Order Packs: need help

I started the backpacks of the three orders a long time, and decided to finish them, now.
On one of the three, however, I need to get to the Dragonvine Whisper’s Strap.
Now, the problem is, on the wiki it says “this collection can only be completed on the same character you started it with” but after almost 2 years, I don’t remember which one it was.
And what if I deleted that character already, am I forever locked out of the collection?
I could really use some insight on this issue, please.

EDIT/UPDATE:
I could not recover the original character, however; upon ‘saving’ Eir I got to choose the first backpack again, and following the entire entrail of mordremoth to the end, after Hearts and Minds I got the final product again. So if you still need the Order backpacks, but lost the progressing character, you can just start over. Just make sure you redo Heart of Thorns: 1 Verdant Brink in order to choose the right backpack.
Thanks for the support, everyone

Look through your characters to see who’s done Buried Insights but not Hearts and Minds – assuming the strap is the only story-reward missing:

If none of your characters match that, I’d contact CS.

I’ll see what I can do, although my hopes are low since all my characters have done about half the HoT story

Well, there’s only three story steps left after Buried Insight, so the character in question is on one of:

  • Sign Cutting
  • Bitter Harvest
  • Hearts and Minds
    I know it’s tedious to find the one right one. Maybe worth contacting CS to see if they can figure out which character started the collection?

You can always do the story on a new character, and pick the whispers backpack again. The wiki isn’t very precise here – you don’t need the same char, you just need a character that made the same backpack choice.

Actions, not words.

IIRC, the order packs are soulbound on acquire, oddly for a collection item. Just something to keep in mind.

In this context, may I ask if the rest of the collection (outside of the items that you achieve through those three story missions) can be done on just any character?

Yes, however the exotic backpack will be soulbound to whichever character completes the collection.

That’s not a problem, it will be salvaged anyway. Unless it is not salvagable, in which case it will get deleted once it has unlocked the skin and achievement for the ascended back item.

So, small update, I decided to take my necro through the story (much love for the plaguelands), redid chapter 1 and could choose the backpacks again. So I chose the set I was missing and will continue to redo the story. I was unable to identify the character I started it on previously, and I can’t even figure out if I still had that character.
I had 1 character I thought it could be, my revenant, he was at the Hearts and Minds story step, I tried but I couldn’t even kill Eir with it.. It’s like the rev does no damage at all…

Not sure that’s a workaround, to be honest. I believe that you need to go through all the content with the original unlock character or it won’t count for the achievement. Then again, I could be wrong, so please keep us posted!

That is wrong. I did half the whisper one on my thief and half on mesmer.

Then one of them did the first half twice

Dont look like it since the OP dont know what character started the backpack and now have done it on +1 more so how do that make it only 1 on each account?

Well, did not work for me, so I am sceptic it’ll work for you. I had to continue on with the original unlock character for the remaining two mission reward items.

You must have chosen a different order backpack on that second character then.

Edit: Or perhaps there was one moment in the very beginning when it really worked like that. I think i remember there was some problem with the backpacks initially, but unfortunately i do not remember what it was. Might have been it. If so, it’s been fixed looong ago.
