Crafting Refinement Achievement Not Incrimenting

Nestor · December 2014

I noticed last night after refining over 60 items in one go that my Master Refinement Achievement is not updating. I have a Crafter who has been refining mats since release week that only has 289 Mats refined. This count did not change with what i did last night. My other Crafter has a reduced refinement count also.

Now that you mention it... I refined about 400 raw mats earlier but i don't think it increased at all. I was at around 600-700 and still am.

It's like this on both of my crafters. I know one of them has refined more than 3000 items (cloth/leather/wood) and the Blacksmither has at least half that amount if not more.

The Crafting Refinement Achievement is per click of the refined button (10 items)
So refining 60 items and getting 40 material from that should give 6 points towards the achievement.

I just refined a stack (100) and got 10 more points towards the achievement.

I wish, the counter does not even move.

Besides, that is not what the tool tip says either. It says refining mats, not refining operations.

Hey there @Nestor,

It does indeed work as @Natjur stated, it is per refinement process as opposed to per material.

If you're not seeing an increase in the counter, we'd like to ask if you're running any add ons. If so, please disable them and let us know if it helps. If not, we'll be happy to take a closer look!

The Tool Tip needs to be updated then. It says for Materials Refined, not refining operations.

Anyway, I am seeing the counter increment sporadically. It also takes time after the operation to do so. So, last night after refining some at a later point the counter incremented to show operations. I think I needed to relog to see the change. But this morning, I did not see it increment again. Note, I think I need to relog to see any change in the counter.

The refinement counter issue has been mentioned in several threads. I had also seen this occur. Unless you have run into a new bug, you need to 'refresh' the data. Try /reloadui, relog, etc. Also, pick a different view in the journal than the crafting achievement tab. If none of this works, you may have an issue. BTW, that achievement requires refinement of 30,000 collected mats. Took me several months of aggressive collecting.

Sad to see that official ZOS response is to point the finger at add-ons, their favorite scapegoat and shame.

I do think I have to relog, as I mentioned above I did see a change in the counter, but it was after I left the crafting hub, logged through some alts, checked other areas of the UI etc. So, not sure exactly what triggered the "refresh".

However the Tool Tip needs to say Refining Operations not Materials. And, the "refresh" should not be required to see the change, none of the other counters seem to require this.

LOL, I was busy writing, so last post I saw was from ZOS. I agree with your suggestions. But we've both been here long enough to see the warts. To me, these are things that need to be fixed 'sometime', but I can live with them.

Hey there @Nestor,

We are looking into updating the tooltip to be a bit more clear. Thanks for the feedback!
