If the collection is unlocked the NPC should have a dialogue option to receive the "
Element of the Arbor
". However it only offers "
Fight.
" or "
Leave.
". I tried the same with a new character who didn't have the hero point. It was possible to take the challenge and get the hero point but the collection didn't work either.

If "Fight" and "Leave" are the only options, you need to complete the challenge. Afterwards, when you speak to the NPC, if you have the collection but have not obtained that item already, there's a "Would you give me something to show them you also endure?" option to receive the item.

Thank you for your answer. However, I already have map completion and even if retaking the challenge it doesn't work. Here are some pictures to show the problem: Hero challenge Brisban Wildlands

This looks like a side effect of allowing all of the skill challenges to be repeatable. I'll get a fix in for the next content update. Currently, there's about a 5 second window after completing the challenge where you can speak with the NPC to get the item, but then it switches back over to the "start the event" conversation. I'll add the option to get the item to the "start the event" conversation if you've already completed the challenge.

I can confirm this is still an issue, and blocking my progress on the Awakening the Druid Stone quest, and therefore blocking my progress towards Aurora. Please say a fix is coming soon. Thanks.

I tried the 5 second widow today... after defeating him, for a couple of seconds the talk option does not appear. Then when it appears, pressing F does not show a followup window. The next time the talk option appears, the popup shows Fight or Leave option.

The 5 second window which you mention, does not show the followup window after selection of the talk option.

So... there is a trick to get the "Restless Arboreal Spirit" to give the option to talk to get the item for the achievement collection. Fight the Spirit. Just before the hero point returns to its reset (in the window of his 1% health), spam the "talk" option as fast as you can and do not stop until he gives the option to speak for the collection item. I can confirm this just worked about 5 min ago at 7:53pm.

There are several different bugs in this [Merged] thread; to which one are you (and Gaile) referring?

I wasn't aware that was a Repeatable Hero Challenge. It seems the fix was pertaining to those."This looks like a side effect of allowing all of the skill challenges to be repeatable. I'll get a fix in for the next content update." -Jeffrey Vaughn

Best advice: try the Hero Challenge immediately after the Release on the 17th (while you await a permanent fix).

Good luck.
