Q:
I do not see skill challenges on the map.
Skill Point Challenges are level-gated until a specific level, Level 13 to be exact, nor will they show up on the map.
To be more precise they fixed it to be an account unlock in the September 16 patch http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2014-09-16
Skill challenges now unlock on an account-wide basis rather than a per-character basis as originally intended.
That means after you level a character up to level 13 skill challenges will be available for all new characters right away.
I can confirm it to be working. Before the feature pack I already had 2 level 80 characters and I made a new character some time after the Sept. 16 patch. My new character had access to vistas, skill challenges, points of interest, etc., right away at level 2.
So if you have a character at least level 13 try logging in on that character then switch back to the new character. The skill challenges should become available to you before level 13. If that doesn’t work then try going to a map with skill challenges on your character who has them unlocked.
