Guild Wars 2

The last few days I have been attempting to do the first volume of the legendary collection for The Flameseeker Prophecies. I crafted the Anthology of Villainy, and got credit for killing Terror 7 and fluffy. Since then, I have killed 5 more of the bosses and no credit has been registered in the collection for any of them, even though the person I was with who is doing the same collection got credit for all of them. I did get event credit and loot.

In addition, a few weeks ago when I completed the first raid wing, I got no mastery points or kill credit for the 3 bosses. I did get the loot from each boss, just no mastery or achievements.

Not sure why I am not getting these, but it is stopping me from continuing on for the collection and masteries.

There’s a bug with the first unlock for raids. (Used to be just wing 3, now it’s the other two.) That’s unrelated to the other issue.
———————————

For Terror 7/Fluffy: there are a couple of oddities in the relation between event credit, kill credit, collection credit, and loot credit.

You’d think that if you get credit on the kill (as shown via the XP gain), you’d also get credit for the other 3, but it’s never been true in the game. Most of the time, no one realizes it — loot piles up and who cares if you miss it from this little bitty foe or that. It only matters to us when the targets are champions and legendary bosses.

The general advice everyone gives is:

• Make sure you dish out as much DPS as possible. And there’s plenty of evidence that this helps.
• Party up: this isn’t enough enough unless you are also dishing out some DPS, but there’s evidence that you can get away with less DPS.
• Don’t die. Of course, no one wants to do that and sometimes it seems hard to avoid. Still, don’t do it for this fight. Besides the loss of DPS, you want the game to keep accumulating credit for you towards this fight.
• Get the first hit, if possible. This one doesn’t have as much evidence as the others. However, when killing the Karka Queen daily a while back, a friend & I experimented with who got the first hit and waiting. Whoever went first always got the extra bags that dropped from the queen (separate from the chest that spawns); whoever went second sometimes didn’t get the extra drops (depending on how much time elapsed).

tl;dr keep trying, with as much DPS as quickly as you can

So, I am getting event, kill and loot, but not collection? Ugh. That is a major pain which will make it very hard. I mean, once or twice I wouldn’t have too much of a problem with, but 6 in a row? (I’ve done another since.) I am beginning to think I will never get that collection complete.

Make sure that you are carrying the Anthology of Villians on the character you finish the event with otherwise you won’t get credit. Says in the collection: Bring Anthology of Villains to defeat said boss
