Guild Wars 2

Has anyone had trouble getting the Waterproof Vigil Padding and the Dragonvine Vigil Strap to drop? I went through both of the required story lines Buried Insight(twice) and Hearts and Minds but neither of the items dropped.

Do the characters completing the story lines belong to the Vigil?

Yes, belongs to the Vigil.

From the Wiki: The story reward pieces of the collection can only be obtained by the character who begins the collection, meaning that you must finish the story on that character to complete it.

You can use Google to search the forums about this issue. Some time back there were some threads about this. There may be answers to your dilemma there.

The wiki is misleading. You don’t have to finish the story on the character that begins the collection. You have to finish the story on a character that selected the corresponding backpack after Prisoner of the Dragon. It also has nothing to do with your character’s vigil/priory/whisper.

I don’t know for certain that this is correct, but I saw it suggested a while ago that’s it not just any character that selected the corresponding backpack, but it has to be the first character on which you selected the backpack.

Which makes no sense. Why does it have to be a certain character? Achievements, unless class specific, shouldn’t be “soulbound”.

I started the whisper’s backpack months ago on my Mesmer. I just finished it on my Thief yesterday.

Was able to finish it on my character who started it. My main character, who had already finished the story lines, apparently wasn’t eligible to finish it. At least I didn’t have to guess which toon it was since my Rev was only the second toon to go that far. Still think it’s stupid to have an invisible requirement. It should be stated in the achievement that such a requirement is needed and who it is who started it.

That should have been obvious since the items given as part of the story steps’ rewards and those rewards are only given once per character. It was never possible to repeat a story on a character to get rewards multiple times.

It’s not obvious. The achievement doesn’t mention anything about being locked away from a character who has finished the story. And if that character has never gotten a drop from an open achievement it should drop for them if they repeat it. If anything there should be a note in the achievement or with the item that is supposed to drop.

The items that can’t be gotten by a character who has finished that particular story line should have a note saying “Can only be dropped for a character who has not finished this part of the story”.
