Guild Wars 2

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Verdant_Brink_%28achievements%29

Wiki does not yet list any additional information on those two Verdant brink Achievements, so i am asking for your help

1. Ongoing defense
Defend one of the completed Pact towers when it falls under attack.

I have done two complete event chains from building the towers from scratch to upgrading it toT5 and defended each one successfully (so no set backs). Yet, I have not gotten the achievement. I don’t know what to do differently, so what is the secret to this (if it is not bugged somehow)?

2. Bark Breaker
Break a Husk’s defiance bar while escorting Laranthir.

My problem seems to be to find a husk that has a break bar at all. The normal ones don’t have break bars and the ones that you can snipe from above when the bombs are planted do not scale up. Do I miss a “hidden Husk” on the way or do you need to scale up the event massively to make a Husk with a break bar spawn ?

Thanks for helping.

I think the bark one is bugged.

You get the first one while defending the tower in the NW part of the map during the day. Or at least I think it was during the day.

I waited next to the towers for almost the entire cycle of day and night (2 hours). Some champions attacked the area when the towers were built. Other than that, nothing. No result.

I haven’t seen any husk with defiance bar during the escort of Laranthir.

Bug Wars 2

I found a solution to “Ongoing Defense” myself today:

During the airship salvage phase at the Ordnance chain of events, the Pact Towers get attacked by five waves of Hylek, which will destroy the towers. THIS is the event you must be doing for “Ongoing Defense”.

Dear ArenaNet devs, just add a bit to text to the achievements description to give players a hint when to take care of the towers. What about:
“Defend one of the completed Pact towers when it falls under attack during daytime.”

Still no idea about Bark Breaker.

Do you mean while “Salvage damaged armaments to build bombs” event?

JRM.6218:

Do you mean while “Salvage damaged armaments to build bombs” event?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Salvage_damaged_armaments_to_build_bombs

Yes, this event.

Thank you, I’ve seen the event a few times, but I haven’t gotten. Since it isn’t part of the chain, there were no people or not enough, and the tower is very vulnerable.

It seems that Bark Breaker could be done during the beta, but not now.

For Bark Breaker there is a Champ husk that appears on top of the cliff during the final phase of the event. Laranthir’s snipers take it down in about 10 seconds if they are up. I don’t know how to access the area it appears in. Presumably you could glide down to it from somewhere,

Finally, I got the first one.

I’ve seen several champions on a high structure during the final event. They have defiance bar, but they are menders that support the vine shield. Anyway, the pale reavers take them down in two seconds.
