Guild Wars 2

I want to get the Been There Done That title. I also would like to get the Explorer achievements for Krytan, Orr, Maguuma, Shiverpeaks, and Ascalon. Is there a title or reward for completing all 5 of those Explorer achievements?

I’m assuming the achievements are account-wide, and can be completed with any combination of characters – is that correct? For the Been There Done That title, I don’t know – does that require 100% map completion with a single character?

I have 3 characters at lvl 80, and a 4th character at lvl 71. But the highest map completion for any of these is my Ele at 62%.

I am close to the Explorer achievements, but am guessing that there are some hidden areas, since I have close to 100% map completion with my combined characters:

Krytan Explorer: 174/175
Orr Explorer: 60/60
Maguuma: 161/167
Shiverpeaks: 170/175
Ascalon: 169/176

Am I close to any reward/title, or still a long way away? :-)

There is no title for explorer. There are a couple of areas that aren’t used for heart/poi/wp. Some are just used for certain personal story branches. Many people will get 100% without completing all the explorer achievement.

Been there, Done that needs 100% on one character but the title is account wide.

You are 62% towards getting a title. :P

There should be a sticky for exploration …

@OP
There are 2 separate ‘types’ of exploration achievements in the game

One is for completing all the hearts and skill points, discovering all the poi’s and wp’s in all the PvE maps (including all the home city instances and Chantry of Secrets) and all the WvW maps. Doing this rewards you with 2 gifts of exploration and 100% world. This must be done on 1 character, of course you can repeat this on each of your alts as well.

The 100% world exploration does not give you ‘Been there, done that’, and has nothing to do with the exploration achievements you see in the Hero panel for the major map areas. This is something different, called the Bluestone achievement.

To complete the Bluestone achievement. and get the ‘Been there, done that’, you must discover every white labeled area in every PvE map. No need to go into WvW maps for this. I did this with 1 character, since I was doing 100% world at the same time, but you might be able to spread these discovers across multiple characters, best you check on this.

You should search the wiki for the list of white labeled areas you need to ‘open’ in each map. Some involve going into caves and the like.

What?

The Been there, Done that achievement is awarded for 100% map completion. I have never heard of a Bluestone achievement and WvWvW was definitely needed for that title the last time I checked. Wiki agrees with me.

@Sacri
What you linked to was for 100% World completion and yes WvW is need for this as I previously pointed out.

As for the Bluestone achievement, it is this:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Bluestone/Explorer

This is what governs the achievements you see in the Hero panel under the exploration tab

I can ensure you I had the title before finishing all the explorer achievements. So if the only thing yellow stang goes for is the title “Been there, Done that”, no need for those.

It’s not called the Bluestone achievement anywhere in game, that is simply the name of the Wiki user who created the orginial wiki entry to help people accomplish the regional explorer achievements such as Krytan Explorer, Magumma Explorer, etc. These do not award any separate titles for completing them. Discovery of white-named map areas counting towards a regional exploration achievement are account not character based.

The Been There, Done That achievement tiers and reward title are linked to map completion (waypoints, POI, hearts, skill challenges and vistas). With the title being awarded for 100% map completion on an individual character.
