Guild Wars 2

I noticed this a while ago, but I forgot to post until now. Before phasing out glory, we had the chance to buy cultural armor from the vendors. I purchased Asura Cultural Tier 3 Light armor. Technically I spent gold (+glory) on it, and I’m wearing it so it’s soul bound. But, I don’t have an achievement for it.

It would be nice to see this fixed.

To get credit for the Emperor’s New Wardrobe Achievement, you must purchase the 18 unique pieces of Cultural Armor with Gold, only. Unfortunately, PvP-purchased armor does not count.

The in game description says to soul bind it. Doesn’t that mean putting it on? Even in PvP I purchased the t3 armor. It cost both gold and glory to buy.

Yes, well, the tool-tip could be more exact. For Cultural Armor to be recognized for the Achievement, it must be purchased with Gold only. Any other methods of obtaining Cultural Armor will not count towards the Achievement.
