Guild Wars 2

Hi all. Just wondering if I can get an answer for this. I was trying to get Emperor’s New Wardrobe achievement. Says I need to soul bind 72 unique cultural armors and I was 66/72. Brought my Norn Warr to Hoelbrak and bought the Tier 2 Soldier’s Eagle set but did not get any credit for it??

you will only get the credit if you soulbind it to the char you bought it on. so, basically they nead to wear the gear. apologies if you have already tried this.

You only get credit for one armor set in a particular tier. If you have bought and soulbound tier 1 heavy norn armor, you will not get credit for buying and binding a set of tier 1 light or medium armor.
The wiki link might help you out:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fashion
And more specifically the Notes section on that page

You no longer have to wear the gear for this achievement. Just buying it is enough. The listing for the achievement now also has which armor you need to complete as well.

As was already said, you don’t have to wear the gear or do anything other than buy the armor piece for it to count. You have to buy one set of boots, legs, gloves, chest, shoulders, and helm from each tier. Buying more than one set of boots (or any piece) from the same tier won’t count.

Also: Make sure you go buy the t1 chest because most people first unlock that skin by doing the personal story, which doesn’t count towards the Emperor achievement title.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.
@Phaeston that link is what I needed
@Kaat thanks for that note. I swear I was always typing the words on search bar not realizing there are listings in it… haha…thanks
