Guild Wars 2

I need help completing the swamp fractal ‘Fancy Footwork’ achievement (the last fractal achievement I need).

I know what to do – it’s just that I’m having trouble getting it with pugs (and ofc the fact that you only have a 33% chance of the swamp fractal appearing per run).

So I was wondering if anyone else needs this and would like to group up? We’d basically zone in and out until we get the swamp fractal and then do it until all party members receive the achievement.

Any interest? I normally run evenings from 9:30 cst onward.

Other players’ behaviour shouldn’t stop you from getting that achievement, if I’m not mistaken… I got mine by not triggering any traps on a run, and I’m pretty sure other people were triggering them during that instance. I can’t think of an example where someone else would keep you from getting it.

I got mine by accident while running wisps :P just avoid every trap. I’m not sure is opening spider eggs counts, but that’s my favorite wisp to return.
though I will add that most people get that achievement by mysteriously going afk to some roommate emergency at the start of that fractal :P it only takes 3 players to complete that fractal.

As long as you personally don’t trigger any traps you should be able to get it, only way pugs can prevent you getting it is by taking multiple wisp runs to succeed thereby increasing the amount of time you got to dodge all traps/

This is precisely the issue and hence why I thought I’d ask if anyone else needs help getting this too so we could party up and knock out.

Also someone above said something about going afk and getting the achievement – I’m fairly certain you must return a wisp in order to get it so afk’ing isn’t an option.

I am 100% certain you CAN go afk because that is essentially how I did it. I didn’t really go afk but I was at the spawn area browsing the TP while people were running the wisp. Then I sloowly moved towards the boss after that was done.

from what I’ve seen you don’t need to be the wisp runners you just have to get to the boss room without hitting any of the traps.

As of a couple nights ago I didn’t get the achievement and I’m certain I didn’t trigger any traps. However I also didn’t run any wisps, and so I figured that must be the difference.

I’ll try it again without running any wisps and report my findings.

Some of the fractal achievements are a big buggy. Friend had a similar issue with Carrier Cacophony. Didn’t get the achievement despite not being downed all. Some people have reported similar issues with the achievement in the volcano fractal.

We’ve had people in my guild who didn’t run any wisps and have gotten it. In fact, we’d just alternate when running through with my guild, stand here and don’t move. Everyone else would do the work this time and next time you do the work.

I got it honestly though, not because I’m very good at seeing traps…I think I just got lucky.

So I recently got the achievement and as folks above me said you don’t need to return a wisp to get it.

Fyi if you’re having trouble like I was, (for this or any other fractal achievement) simply start a group by yourself and zone in and out until you get the right fractal. Then put a post on GW2LFG.com and ask players to join.

I created a level 10 daily group and had 4 players in no time. At level 10 most players have a pretty good idea of what to do, and so it makes things go much more smoothly as opposed to say a level 1 group with potential players who haven’t done fractals before.
