Grand Master Crafter

sooo - I was checking my achievements today for some reason and noticed I had earned grand master crafter.

I checked all my characters and none of them have learned a total of 50 full motifs so how did that happen?

I have multiple chars who have learned some full motifs but not 1 char who has 50 - my main is getting close but not yet at 50.

The achievement said it occureed on 3-14-22 by my non main char who knows 6 full motifs - so what going on here?

    Account Wide Achievements counts all your characters' known motifs. So you can have several toons who only know a few basic motifs and they can add up to 50 known motifs.

    IMO it makes getting the Grand Master Crafter title less rewarding and meaningful.

    All the motifs styles learned by all your chars are accounted, even if the same motif style have been learned on several chars.

    Eg: have 6 chars who know the basic racial styles (6 x 9 = 54 <=> congrats, you have fulfilled the requirement)

    Wasted a large amount of gold to obtain style master and now this - and I'm a fan of account wide achievements.

    What? Does it really work this way?

    Really!!! Holy cow, years of spending gold buying Motifs to get that title, and now you can get it by just luck of your random toons learning them.

    This is just heart breaking to hear, so many years of work gone down the drain in one fail swoop. I too was a fan of the AwA until this news.

    If that is the case then they need to make the Motifs shared across all the toons to off set that title.

    Considering they sell motifs in the cash shop I personally don't see that happening. But I wouldn't mind seeing recipes and furniture schematics shared.

    Sadly, yes it does.

    It's dumb that the achievement works that way, but people often miss the whole point of learning motifs. The achievement is meaningless when you still can't complete the majority of master writs in the game. The real prize is learning them all, or at least enough where you can acquire/buy tons of master writs, as the real money for anyone serious about crafting is in the writ vouchers.

    Meh. Doesn't really make any difference to me. That's the nature of the game when quality of life updates are added. I earned the achievement way before account wide achievements but I don't care if someone got it easier than me nor do I think my work went to waste because I had fun either way plus now I know a bunch of styles on my character that I can now craft. It doesn't diminish my achievement because I know how I earned it. Life is too short to worry about how much easier other people might have things but that's just my opinion.

    Haven't logged in yet on live to register my achievements, still trying to figure out how to get my crafter toon both the 25 motifs and 50 motifs achievement which is not possible (toon knows 18).

    Log on to that character and buy a bunch, then screenshot it for your records. I think I know where you're going with this but that's your only option right now, or wait potentially forever I guess.
