Guild Wars 2

I have used some of the required items, I also bought and equipped the Courage. The achievments still do not show up in the panel.

I also couldn’t start the Brewmaster. I got the Monk’s Beer Stein from the forge, but the collection achievement didn’t start, so I bought a stein of ale and it still didn’t start…

This has been reported by others, too. :-( No response yet from ANet with an ETA or whether you need a specific item to begin collecting.

Up.

Hero of the People achievement is also broken. Does not start too.

These have been ‘broken’ for days.. considering it’s the flagship feature and the number of fixes that have come through in the last few days, I’ve got a feeling this is one of those that we need to track down someone to give us the unlock item.

I finished the Fine Dining one just fine. There is a certain item that you need in order to trigger it. It should be on Dulfy.net. If you check there she tells you which steak you have to consume first in order to trigger the collection.

That link shows which steak you have to consume first in order to unlock the collection. IMO they should change it so that any steak eaten will unlock it, but for now just do it with that one first.

the unlock listed there is not completely true, I unlocked this collection by accident by eating Plate of Truffle Steak.
