I’m trying to get this achievement and I let my armor get all the way down until a piece broke. The piece says ‘broken’ in red when I mouse over it. It happens to be the back piece. All the main 6 pieces are ‘damaged’ at this point, and my paper doll when hovering over the damage indicator is all orange. The little shield itself is the red, broken looking shield.

I never got the message. I tried zoning, nothing. I tried removing the piece and putting it back on, nothing.

I figure it might be because it’s a back piece, and maybe the only way you get the message is if one of the 6 main pieces breaks. The problem is, now my back piece is not useful while I’m waiting for another piece to break. I tried taking those 6 pieces off to just repair the back piece, and it would seem the price is the same, as if she will repair all the items in my bag? Do I have to bank my armor and run to a repair person naked and then repair?

Kinda confused on how to get this hint to come up and only repair one piece of armor.

I see a note at the bottom of the wiki page about 85 hints. Mine only shows 83, or which I completed 81. The broken armor one would, in theory, be 82, and that’s the last one I have in my hint list. So will I still not be able to get the achievement? What else would I be missing?

And yes, this is fun for me. Some people work really hard on legendaries, I like achievements. I will get nothing, but it’s something fairly easy to work towards.

Thanks.

Turns out the back doesn’t count. I went and found a Oakheart in Frostgorge to kill me and my helmet broke and I got the hint and the achievement completion.

Thanks Morrellius! And whoever helped me with the mailbox full. And the trebuchet help from the other day (using the one in the PvP staging area)!

It took forever for me to get this achievement too. Made me realize though that you don’t have to repair your damaged gear constantly. Takes quite a few deaths to truly break gear. All I have left is the ‘mailbox full’ hint so I’ll have to get some guildies to spam me mail. Cheers & gratz!
