Achievement-Harpoon Master
The names of the achievements “Speargun Master” and “Harpoon Master” are misleading. The Speargun achievement is actually referring to Harpoon Gun weapons (sometimes just called Harpoon). The Harpoon achievement refers to Spear weapons.

Well that don’t make any sense. In any event, I have both the spear and speargun mastery completed, but i think what ur saying, is what i’ve basically proposed in my post, that these weapons or achievements might be mislabeled? And if that’s the case, how on earth are we suppose to know what’s going on?
So to clarify, i’m supposed to use speargun to get harpoon gun mastery? Dear lord. I guess i made a boo boo then crafting an ascended harpoon gun, coz iirc there’s no ascended spear gun recipe, but i’ll check to be sure.
They’re not mislabelled, it’s just that ‘spear’ and ‘harpoon’ are used interchangeably. Simple rule of thumb, if it’s ‘spear’ or ‘harpoon’ and not followed by ‘gun’, it always means the melee weapon.
The Harpoon Gun, also known as Spear Gun (not to be confused with Spear), is a long range mechanical aquatic weapon. Harpoon guns can be crafted by a huntsman.
The Spear, also known as Harpoon, is a close quarters aquatic weapon. Spears can be crafted by a weaponsmith.
There’s some great tips on getting the various Weapon Master achievements (including aquatic) in the Wiki:

Good luck.
