Guild Wars 2

I grinded out The Nuac stealth detection just so I could get this item, because i really want the Specialization weapons. I have all the specialization collection achievements unlocked except Reaper, Chronomancer, and Druid. Yet when i killed the treasure mushroom and looted the Invisible Mushroom Spore, it only gave me credit for "Wild Abandon, which is the one weapon I really don’t care about. I got on another character and killed another treasure mushroom but it didn’t give me another item, nor credit. I put the original Spore in my bank and then placed it in the bags of another character, and still didn’t get credit.

Please, please fix this. I really want to get “Bo.” The Spore was one of the last items I needed.

There’s 9 different spores. One for each weapon collection, all with the same name and tooltip. And it’s random which one you get until all the specs have the spore, then it stops dropping.
I think you only get the spore once per day per map you killed the mushroom.
Edit: Clarity.

I don’t think that’s accurate. They all have the same name and thumbnail image. Plus, as I said before, the second time I killed the treasure mushroom it didn’t give me another one. presumably because I already had gotten it, even though it only gave me credit for one of the achievements.

It’s not random, it is in alphabetical order of the specialisation name. You can kill each mushroom once a day per account per map. That makes for 6 per day in total I believe ( 1 in VB, 1 in AB, 1 in TD and 3 in DS).

Agreed, it’s not the best system, better would have been to first asign it to the class that killed the shroom and after that they could go alphabetical. But you at least you can get it in 2 days.

Good luck with the collection.

Yes it’s random.

I can pretty much confirm it’s not random. I did it for the 9 Elite Specs. And it gave me in alphabetical order, first Berserker, then Chronomancer, then Daredevil, and so on.
It jumps the ones that you haven’t unlocked yet, and then go to the next one. Two accounts, both happen this way. Wikia is not written by devs, and can be wrong.

I had a similar bug. The first one I got rewarded the Berzerker one. Then I killed three treasure shrooms, opened all three boxes, and only got credit for the Chronomancer one, not any others. WTF guys, this should be easier!

Yep. Just got my second invis mushroom spore today, and it gave me the achieve for the chronomancer one. So it is alphabetical.
