Guild Wars 2

I am currently trying to get my achievements/masteries for Living Story and I am and I am having a problem. When I do a few of the achievements, but miss one, I have to start that entire section over again. Example: Zephyrs Ascent and Leap, I kept looking for Margery to throw me zephyrite crystals so I could start the jumping puzzle but I couldn’t figure out where to start it and that portion of the story ended. When I went and tried to start that portion over again it said “this instance is not a part of your personal story and your progress will not be saved”, the only way I could restart that portion of the story was to go all the way back to the beginning. Is this the way it is supposed to be? That is extremely daunting and grindy if so. I don’t think I have enough patience to do this if that is the case. I probably won’t be purchasing any future stories, either, as I only purchased this for the achievements.

Ophidia Moonstone.2587:

“this instance is not a part of your personal story and your progress will not be saved”,

So? I might be completely wrong about this, but that should not affect you ability to get achievements from it. You will just not progress in the PS

Asrat.2645:

I hope you’re right, it is worth a try.

I think there are two different things colliding here, so I’ll explain the process overall in case you misunderstood something:

1) Gain access to the chapter.
2) Play the chapter on whatever alt you like.
3) Complete the chapter including getting the final rewards.
4) Replay the chapter with the exact same alt, this time working on the achieves.

To replay it you go into your PS panel and select that chapter then click to Play This.

Getting the crystals is just part of progressing through the story, not the later achieve replay (though you have to do it to play through for achieves).

If you are on NA and play during the hours I do I would be willing to go in with you to help lead you through it.
