    Is another reward being added to this achievement? If so, will players who already completed it get the new reward?
  3. Smashey Well-Known Member

    Hopefully they dont just remove Band of Ballads and its a fix for getting two and the patch note is just worded weirdly.

    Just removing would leave a lot of players with resolve issues.
  4. Taled Well-Known Member

    From the way it is worded, you will still get a Band of Ballads from the all POI quest achievement that is named 'Ballad of Antiquities', where the item was likely intended to be.

    Presumably the 'Medley of the Lost' is supposed to have an item matching that name scheme?

    Ok so what happens - if sold the second Band of Ballads for completing the Medley of the Lost - because you couldn't wear two - it was no-trade - so basically taking up a spot in your bag ?
