Guild Wars 2

I tried several Sky Crystals that show but when you get near them they do not give any credit. One in particular is Sky Crystal #10 in Dulfy’s Guide http://dulfy.net/2013/07/08/gw2-sky-crystals-lessons-from-the-sky-achievement-guide/ where you used to be able to drop down (carefully) below to get the crystal. Now there is a net above it but you can get to the ledge and the crystal by using the walk bridge and using lightning pull from there to get to the ledge. That worked fine but the crystal appears inactive. I don’t know if this is intentional but I found several others like that. I will go back and figure out where those are as well.

Aerinndis.2730:

but when you get near them they do not give any credit.

Not sure if I’m misreading it but in order to get credit toward the achievement you must interact with the crystal, not approaching it only. Sorry if I didn’t get what you mean. When you get close to it it should show and interact [F] button (I can’t recall what text it shows).

Btw, that guide is for the last year’s release. Not sure if the locations are still the same, I still have to check it.

That crystal and couple of others had no interact when you approached them. Othewise, yes, I interacted with the ones I did get (36 so far out of the 40). Some of the crystals from last year are in the same place and some are gone but that one was still around, it just had a net over it so you couldn’t drop down any more. You have to get at it from the bridge. Because it is there, I have to assume one should be able to interact with it. I found another on ground level near where the waterfalls are that was the same – no interact when you are near.

There are some crystals (“charged crystals”?) that are only used as part of the collection event that I think had been normal sky crystals last time around. It’s possible that those are what you’re encountering, and they’d be unusable until the event starts.

I can confirm the same thing happening to me. I hit 40 out of 40 sky crystals and 9 out of 10 masters, but now, for some reason, I cannot interact with ANY crystal, even those I haven’t gotten. I’m certain that there is a bug of some sort, since I’ve been to all 10 master crystal locations 3 times each, none are interact-able, and I still only have 9 out of 10. I might try again later to see if the bug miraculously solved itself.

Some of the effervescent crystals will show up on/near the sky crystals. They look similar.
