Guild Wars 2

I thought this was some kind of issue on my previous ranger character, so I deleted and retried it, but I cannot get credit for completing the pet swap hint and the charm hint for ranger. I have waited to do the swap until the hint pops up but it still does not give me credit. Is there a workaround, or anything that I can do to just clear out the hints??

I think I’ve read that the hint will trigger and register if you let your pet die and then swap it for your alternate pet as a workaround.

Edited to add that I checked the wiki and it instructs to not swap it, to just let it stay dead for a few seconds and the hint will pop up.

Regarding the “charm” hint, have you charmed both a land-based and water-based pet? Perhaps it will not trigger until you get an additional one of both land and water pets. Not sure on this though, but worth a try.
