Guild Wars 2

We are having a problem with the collection items for the achievement for the Scholar’s Backpack. After completing the Strange Observations story, the reward of the Golden Priory Belt Buckle is awarded at the end of the story, but was not added to the collection where it belongs.

This may be some kind of bug, but please advise how we can go about acquiring the trophy items for our collection, specifically the Gold Priory Belt Buckle.

Thank you.

As I recall, the character who started the collection needs to finish the relevant story instances to progress it. For example, my elementalist (coincidentally in the Priory) started the Scholar’s back and therefore had to be the one to continue to Strange Observations etc. My mesmer (coincidentally in Shhhhh) started a different collection and so had to finish that.

I imagine they were hoping to avoid a bug in which someone chose a Priory component first, then a Whispers one, and then an Order one… and couldn’t complete the collection at ll. However, the end result is just as bad: people are confused as to why it won’t progress.

Thank you. I didn’t exactly understand what you meant at first, but after a day, we figured out what you were talking about. It’s confusing. You were right too. My partner’s Order of Whispers character apparently selected the novice pack after the Prisoners of the Dragon episode. My Durmond Priory character chose the Crusader’s pack. I didn’t even have a character that even joined the Vigil faction and yet I had the Golden Crusader’s Buckle.

We now figured out which of our characters started the collection and have been able to move on and progress thanks to you.

Thank you.
