Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve tried buying and making myself the Mystic Barricade shield for the Horologicus collection, but neither one worked. It still says it’s locked/hidden. The first time I thought I could just buy it from the trading post to get it, so I did. But it didn’t unlock upon acquiring it, so I thought “Oh, I must have to make it myself, that makes sense I guess.” So I did. Well, okay, I bought the shield backing and boss of the tp, but I put in my own eldritch scroll and mystic coins. Do I have to craft my own shield backing and boss for it to work too? Am I doing something wrong?

You probably need to soul bind the mystic barricade.

Since I didn’t have to soulbind corpse flower for it to count I didn’t think I would have to soul bind this. But ya, that worked, thanks. I feel silly… ._.

You’re not the only one.

Corpse Flower is account bound on acquire, so it completed automatically. A general rule for non-consumable collection items is if you can sell, mail, or deposit it in a guild bank, then it hasn’t completed its part of the collection.
