Aboud Old Magic Find Items.

I saw the Economy Report. It said “For example, if you have an Explorer’s Pearl Staff, you can now double-click it to change it to any other crafting stat.”, but I can’t choose Sentinel and Celestial stat. Those are surely crafting stats.

Fix plz

I can understand not being able to select Celestial, seeing as how celestial stat items are time gated. Not so sure about Sentinel, however.

balkaser.6582:

what will happen to the magic find on celestial items? any one knows?

It disappears.

AlkalineLemon.3854:

So it only switches the stats, and not the skin?

Well… we can hope it does as advertised.

Hope we can. I don’t want to lose a one time skin b/c I transmuted stats onto it T-T

So it only switches the stats, and not the skin? Ok, well not worried now. Many thanks

I transmuted ‘There with Yakkington: A Traveler’s Tale’ stats to my sclerite karka shell. Is my skin going to disappear after the update?

I’m just worried that since my Karka shell now has MF on it, it’s going to disappear, and its skin reconverted back to the book skin. Has there been any word on what will happen in this case?

Seeing as how the crit chance is lower on celestial versus zerker, I think it’s a fair trade off.

Yeah, I’m curious about this too. I’ve got a full set of crafted armor, as well as the celestial amulet. On top of this, I’ve got the two ascended explorers rings and the There with Yakkington back piece. Would hate to lose 4/6 of my ascended items as well as armor that took a month to craft b/c they have MF on them…

I still can’t get this achievement. I did three invasions today, focusing exclusively on closing watchwork portals. Didn’t get a buff, and still don’t have the achievement. No clue what’s bugging out with this.

I also had this problem, then I tried to do the events without using any waypoints. I instantly got the achievement after 5 portals. I think it’s possible that waypointing resets the portal count.

I didn’t WP either. Plus, even if WPing DID reset the counter, it doesn’t make sense for me to still have 0/5 (or 0/1, not sure which) on the achievement panel. I should AT LEAST have 1 if WPing resets the counter.

There is no “at least one” with this achievement. It is all or nothing. You either closed 5 portals in 15 minutes or you didn’t or you did but there is a bug but there is no partial completion.

Edit: and go make sure you are actually looking at the right achievement …

I got into the main map with 44/45 minutes (so no aetherblade or molten alliance). I closed five portals, and I KNOW I did because I got the 5/5 portals closed daily (this was right after reset, so these portals weren’t carrying on from a previous instance). On top of this, after my 5/5 portals closed daily checked off, I still had 32 minutes on the timer, meaning it only took me 12 minutes to close all 5.

So even if there isn’t partial completion, which I’ll admit could be possible, from the scenario above I SHOULD have gotten it. I’m not too terribly worried about it, it’s only 5AP, but it is a bug that has happened to me on 3/3 invasions, where 2 of them I was specifically trying to get the swift closer achievement.

A similar thing happened to me, so I just kept going and got it on the seventh portal. Obviously bugged, but something to try in the meantime.

Haha, like I said I’m not too worried about it. I do plan on going for 13/13, so I figured I’d get it eventually. Just figured I’d report it and see if anything comes of it.

The achievement is broken. I got into the main map with 44/45 minutes (so no aetherblade or molten alliance). I closed five portals, and I KNOW I did because I got the 5/5 portals closed daily (this was right after reset, so these portals weren’t carrying on from a previous instance). On top of this, after my 5/5 portals closed daily checked off, I still had 32 minutes on the timer, meaning it only took me 12 minutes to close all 5. However, I’ve got no achievement, and on top of that my swift closer achievement says I’ve got 0 portals closed, not even 1/5.

Nhalx.9735:

I was actually hoping these count towards the Miniature collector title… not too happy about finding out that theres an additional tab for them..

This was always the case. When they were announced, it was stated that there would be separate achievements for series 1 and series 2.

raptor.1064:

failed on overflows but got it when I was on my home server

I’ve ‘completed’ the event on both overflow and on home server. Don’t know if that’s it, especially considering that even though I’ve participated on both types of servers, I’m still 0/5.

Aww man, you’re right. Especially since you have to double click to get out of the transformation, instead of being able to just auto revert or go back when in combat. I’m super excited about this

matthewr.3980:

What you would like most may not be the best financial choice for the game.

I’d assume they’re likely going to see an influx of people buying gems here, in order to convert them to gold, as they skins are available on the TP. Probably will come out better ahead than just limiting acquisition to the BLCs.

Mordalus.8146:

Like many, I would happily give Anet my cash if they offered the skins straight up in the shop.

ANET has made it possible to buy the skins on the TP. With this in mind, you can buy gems, and convert them to gold, and then buy the skins off the TP. Not the most elegant of methods (or cheapest), but it at least makes it possible. Additionally, this is probably a lot cheaper of a method than with gambling boxes.

EDIT: Currently, the most expensive zodiac skin sells for 60g. While expensive, 60g isn’t out of the realm of possible to get, even without gems —> gold, especially considering how easy it has been to make gold here recently.

I think there’s an issue with counting things w/ this patch. I’m still at 0/5 for portals closed for the Swift Closer achievement. However, you’re issue sounds a bit worse, as it’s more or less an hour wasted… =/

I’ve gone through two invasions now, and my count for portals closed is still at 0/5.

On my second invasion, I made sure that I was going to try to go for it. I managed to close 5, as my 5/5 portals closed daily got checked off. Additionally, we still had 32 minutes left out of the original 45, meaning I had done it in 13 minutes. However, upon further inspection, my counter for portals closed for Swift Closer was still at 0/5. Am I misunderstanding the achievement or is this bugged? (People in map chat said that they had gotten it when I asked about it, so is it an isolated incident?)

Things will level off as more and more people farm, as the supply of previous high demand items will be high in supply. I would assume prices will go down a lot, especially the price of ectos.

TL;DR Take advantage while you can.

Xiao Haishou.3691:

Anyways, I soloed T3 and T4 before the patch. I decided to go and see what all the fuss was about after the patch, so I decided to try to solo T3. I don’t really see much difference, actually. I was at full health and i failed at about 20 sec left because I ran out of treasure because I wasn’t paying attention to the other side’s spawns. All I had to do was run over to the other side, get some of my hp down to kill a plunderer, and I would’ve completed it.

Try T4

Revoltion.9614:

My strategy how to solo T4. Only left spawn working, a right one doesn’t spawn plunderers. Follow annotations on my video.

The ability to do this was ‘fixed’ in the patch. The other two spawn points now spawn plunderers.

panzer.6034:

1. This thread shows that a there a number of people who have solo’ed it.

2. Not every piece of content needs to be toned down so that every player can do with without a challenge.

3. It’s only one achievement. The game won’t be wrecked if some people can’t get one achievement.

1. It WAS easily solo’ed before the patch hit. I was able to easily solo Evon’s T4 no problem. Keil’s T4 after the patch is impossible. The patch killed the ability to solo it.

2. While true, it should be realistically attainable. In its current state it is almost quite literally impossible.

3. Again, this is true. However, the way it was originally set up it seemed to be one of the ‘easier’ achievements to complete the meta. Additionally, while it isn’t necessary, after the release of achievement chests people are naturally going to want to acquire achievement points. This achievement awards 10, an amount that shouldn’t be scoffed at.

panzer.6034:

Why are people who can’t finish tier 4 acting like the whole game is ruined because they can’t get one achievement? Should every achievement be automatically easy for every player?

There is a difference between easy and impossible. And I’m not using the word ‘impossible’ lightly. There is no way T4 was play tested in its current state.
