Guild Wars 2

It was going well until I went to Hoelbrak with my lvl 80 Norn female Ranger. “Medium Armor class”

I went on to the Great Lodge and talked to the T1 cultural armorsmith Sken and bought the 6 piece medium set.
Then went to the T2 armorsmith Dela and bought the 6 piece medium set.
And finally went to the T3 armorsmith Valdsam and bought the 6 piece medium set.

I checked my Hero panel hoping to see the achievement for Norn Specialty Armors complete… hummm… it says 17/18. That can’t be right I just bought:
T1 complete medium set =6
T2 complete medium set =6
T3 complete medium set =6
TOTAL: 18 different medium pieces

I went back to each armorsmith and confirmed all the armor I bought says unlocked. Hummm All looks correct.

So I thought I got some glitch so I re-started GW2 ‘a few times’ and waited a couple of days and rechecked my Hero Panel… But still 17/18

I even bought another T3 helmet but this time a heavy one and just to try also a few heavy T1 pieces but still 17/18.

I sent a bug report and haven’t heard anything back … any ideas?

Did you get any of the armour pieces from personal story rewards? Although it unlocks the skin, it doesn’t count towards the achievements. Otherwise is sounds like a bug.

I ran into this bug a long time ago before they introduced the changed personal story rewards. This is indeed an annoying bug, and it seems to randomly fix itself. I woke up one morning and had 18 of 18 unlocked. Was stuck on 17 out of 18 on my charr cultural armor(BEFORE the wardrobe was a thing.) Had bought every single piece of cultural armor as well.

No I bought them all the same day just to make sure I could finish that title off quick.

I believe it is bugged as of the last patch or so.
I also bought another type of locked armor from the cultural smith and did not get the indicator for the achievement. All other skins in the past, when unlocked, did show the achievement.

I guess I’ll give it a few weeks till i panic.

It just stinks that I lost an extra 40 or so gold

If you go into the achievement does it show you what skins are unlocked/still locked?

This achievement doesn’t show like that.

Similar issue here with Sylvari, should be 6/6 but it is at 5/6. I made a bug report, for what it’s worth.

Do the bug reports ever get fixed?

Yes, they do. You can find bug fixes on almost every set of Patch Notes. Not to mention the plethora of bug fixes that never get a mention.

Good luck.

Please ANET I only need the Norn Specialty Armors 17/18 fixed.

The rest of the Specialty Armors are complete.

Could a bug fix for this be done?

So I fixed it myself.

I have 10 80s, I wasn’t getting anywhere with my Norn Ranger so I logged in my Norn Warrior.

Went to the T1 armorsmith and bought another locked piece of armor just to see what would happen, and what do you know… that worked.
So I wasted 22-ish extra gold.

But I got The Emperor title.

BFD right

I consider 20 gold a BFD.
