Guild Wars 2

I was doing Krytan explorer and was only one area short. So I figured I’d check the wiki to see commonly missed areas.

Turns out I was short an area in Queensdale, so I went to go grab it.

But it didn’t give me any credit? What gives?

Are you sure the missing area you uncovered isn’t one you may have already uncovered on an alt? This one can be tricky due to the overlapping nature of alt accounts and the map.

Which area were you going for?

Did you check the Krytan Explorer achievement in your Hero panel to make sure you were only missing one Krytan area?

Are you sure the area you went to wasn’t already unlocked?

If it wasn’t already unlocked, are you sure you fully unlocked it?

Yes, That’s what I’m using to track my progress. I am 174/175

I am sure the area I went to wasn’t already unlocked because the Content Guide was telling me it was undiscovered. After finding the Windloss Delves, I was told it was now discovered but it added no area to the counter.

As for the last point..I don;t know how that’s possible.

Hm. It sounds like you were at 173/175 before going to Windloss Delves. Have you checked to make sure you have every other area in Kryta unlocked, including Claw Island (which you only get to by doing the level 60 personal story)? If you’ve double checked every map and Claw Island, then I’d suggest putting in a bug report in-game and possibly a support ticket.

Was tracking the achievement before I went there-was at 174 for a very long time.

So yes, I was at 174 before and after finding the delves

Oh, I just thought of another place. Have you been to the Chantry of Secrets yet? That area also counts for Krytan Explorer.

These people are all ignoring your problem and suggesting other places for you to go to which you should also do. But as to your problem my friend who was going for the explorer achievements recently had the exact same problem. She was missing one thing in two of the explorer areas and looked at an online guide and tried some common ones. After finding one that popped up discovered and gave her exp and all that she did not get the achievement. i told her to keep trying and eventually after discovering a few more she got the achievement. So my guess is that the counter is messed up for some reason.

Hum…I don’t think I can recall having been there actually. I might need to check that out

I didn’t know alts contributed to Explorer. I assumed it was the same as The way points.

Well that answered that question, and it turns out I was missing the Chancery of Secrets. Went there and I got instant completion.

Thanks all

Question : Do you have only 1 character ? The thing is you get the message that you
explored a new are on every single character, even if you have already explored it
on another character.

So to be sure you really have to do all Kryta areas on one single character. Best set
the content guide in options to show you only stuff you need for map completion.
It will also guide you to unexplored areas if you are done with all the hearts, vistas
and POIs.
