Guild Wars 2

I am certain of what the bug is now.

I am now sure that the amulets can be unlocked by completing the Dragon’s Reach Part Two Mastery Achievement (or perhaps any of the first four) . I am now positive of this unlock because 3 additional friends of mine and I ran an experiment. None of them had the amulets available at the laurel merchant immediately before completing the Dragon’s Reach Part Two Achievements but all of them had both nomad amulets available immediately after completing them.

The problem is, I have already completed the achievements. In fact, I completed the achievements before the mastery achievements and the nomad amulets were added. This is also the case with every player I have asked that has completed the achievements and is unable to purchase the amulets.

Players that completed the achievements before the items were added cannot purchase them.

Perhaps a fix could be completely behind the scenes, allowing players to log in one day and see them at the laurel merchant. Otherwise perhaps an NPC can be added that, when talked to, checks if the achievements are completed and, if so, unlocks the amulets. It could also be any of a million other things I’m sure you can think of.

Regardless of how you fix the bug, it is here, it has been here for a while, and it is quite upsetting for some players who really want one of the ascended nomad amulets.

I really hope the plethora of information provided by me and the other players kind enough to respond helps the issue get fixed.

I, too, serve as evidence to support that theory. I cannot purchase the amulet and I did the living story achievements for the first few episodes before the amulets were added. My friend, who can purchase the amulet, however, did the story achievements after the amulet was added.

It has been quite a while since I noticed this bug in-game, but I never posted anything because there were other forum posts on the same issue. I see now, however, that they did not manage to get the problem solved and have not been responded to in weeks to months.

The bug is that for some players the ascended nomad amulets cannot be purchased from the laurel merchant. I cannot say for sure what unlocks them because it is not clearly posted anywhere, but I can say that I have every Living Story achievement, all the Dry Top achievements and all the Silverwastes achievements, yet the amulets are not availiable for me to purchase at the laurel merchant. I do, however, have multiple friends that can and have purchased the items from the laurel merchant. I know the items exist and are not chat codes because they have sent me screenshots.

The first screenshot I have attached shows the bug but you have to know a few things to understand how it is proof of the bug. First, to the right you can see the stars indicating that I “have completed this episode and all associated achievements” for all the living story sections. Second, to the left, is the laurel merchant. In every screenshot I have seen of the nomad amulets at the merchant, the order is Protomatter Chain, Nomad Amulets, Jurah’s Jewel, but on my screen it is clear that there are no nomad amulets in between.

The second screenshot I have attached is one my friend sent me of his laurel merchant. It clearly shows that he can purchase the amulet while I cannot.

Thank you for your time.
