what they said in Beta was that they would run a script that will show them who all reached a certain point in the tradeskill quest.
If you got through the Aurelian Coast part, you will get the testing reward. They announced that the final week, before the ceremony was fixed. They pulled the data on who got that far at the end of beta.
For me, I got 2 on second account and 1 on my main account instead of 3 on both. I previously had 1 on main account (the one who completed the sig line in Beta) and 0 on the second account (no timeline completed but 3 chars in wracklands). So yeah, some script ran some time back but it failed a check somewhere and not everybody got it.
My wife and I got to the point where we needed to examine the book inside the instance to get the recipe for the staff. We actually went and collected the pieces for the staff as well, but of course couldn't craft if due to the part giving you the recipe being bugged. We got to that point toward the very end of beta where someone said the Devs had forced the book to work in the overland zones, but couldn't make it work inside the instance because they would have to do that for each person individually. Just Checked again to make sure and neither of us have the reward yet.
Any word on this yet, Gninja? Still waiting to hear something and/or have rewards show up in /claims, please.
Achievement : Prime Piercer I completed fully on Beta the entire line and got my rewards when went live BUT I have noticed that my achievement in my journal has not been updated
As far as I can tell I still have not received my beta Tradeskill reward. I don't see it anywhere in /claim
Those achievements won't show as completed unless you are on the character you earned it on and the server you earned it on. Since you earned it on beta it will not show as completed on live servers. That does NOT mean you did not earn it.
This is the same thing as the Test-only achieve for Heroes' Festival. It has to show up in the live achievements in order to earn it on Test, Beta, etc. Just because it shows up there is not an indicator that it can be achieved on your server. I know, it drives the completionists bonkers to have something in there they cannot do on their live character, but, those are the mechanics.
