Guild Wars 2

So, it turns out I’m a bit of a kitten and deleted the back piece reward from the last Verdant Brink mission, thinking I no longer needed it after unlocking the ’skin’.

Well then, so it appears that in the very next mission it upgrades, but that’s not working for me anymore seeing as I deleted it. So my question is, does this back item turn into anything significant later on? And if so, did I just kitten my character or is there a way to get it back (afaik, running missions a second time gives different, lesser rewards)?

Thanks for any helpful responses... And note to ArenaNet: If mission or one-time items serve additional purposes, perhaps mention this in-game...

I haven’t done the new content yet, but if the reward was specifically in an end-of-mission reward basket, then hopefully other characters you complete that story mission with will get the same reward.

If it was from an achievement for completing that story mission then, yeah, that’s the only one you’re gonna get.
I am assuming that Anet will probably add some way to trade in or purchase the reward if your account has been flagged as having that achievement, but I’m not sure.

Submit a ticket to support, they should be able to fix it for you.

I did the same thing “Exotic backpeice, cool ill get the skin and delete it.” kitten ed up hard.

Well, you’re in luck! Cause right now, it is bugged so it never upgrades to anything. It stays a a Novice’s Pack.

I did the same thing you did. Deleted it and then realized later that I needed it still because I was getting upgrades for it. So I contacted support and they replaced it for me and gave me a new one.

But as it turns out, that upgrade thingy? Auto applies itself when you accept the reward for that story mission. So they had to send me one of those too. Which in turn, didn’t do anything. So I got the next level one from another story further in, but this time, I actually had the Novice’s Pack. Nothing happened. It is still a Novice’s Pack.

Told support about it (still had my ticket open), and turns out they know it is bugged. So until it is fixed, it won’t upgrade to anything right now. I’m curious how they are going to fix this, as I’ve already got two upgrades from my story. Are they going to send us the upgrades we missed? Or give us a fully upgraded Pack to compensate for the bug? Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

But for right now, you can contact support to get a replacement Novice’s Pack. You can ask for the upgrades too if you want, but they won’t do anything cause they are currently bugged.

I send in a ticket, thanks for letting me know they do restore these, I wouldn’t have tried otherwise (support typically doesn’t restore items).

As for the upgrades not working, I guess it’s better to have the base item rather than nothing at all, until they fix it at least.
