Guild Wars 2

Edit: The graphics aren’t so much muddled up as inconsistent. The incomplete journals have distinct graphics, but ALL of the completed journals share the graphic with the incomplete Justiciar’s Memoirs. Hardly exactly friendly.

Beware. For now you should probably complete all three journals before deleting anything related to them from inventory.

When you complete a full set of pages, the “incomplete” copy of the journal is NOT deleted from your inventory (according to the developer, because it was too hard to do otherwise). So you end up with both a complete and incomplete version.

That wouldn’t be a problem, if it weren’t for the fact that, right now, the complete and incomplete journals have their graphics muddled up (the completed Justiciar Bauer’s Memoirs has the graphic of the incomplete Apprentice Kasandra’s Diary, for example).

I came within a gnat’s whisker just now of deleting an almost-complete Diary (to free up inventory), under the mistaken belief that it was the superfluous incomplete copy of the Memoirs.

(I’d add supporting screen shots, but a PrintScreen apparently doesn’t capture the mouseover text.)

I completed the achievement on different characters, without moving the incomplete journals. Are they actually necessary to completion?

I doubt it. The collections are account-wide, and you get the completed versions from the reward chest anyway.
