Specter elite spec collection progress blocked.

[Vismooth.4128]

This is specifically in relation to "Specter's cache" step of the collection, which requires you to explore Seitung Province as a thief. It is currently impossible to complete this step if you had explored the area without unlocking specter first, that is unless the player is willing to make a whole new character and follow through with leveling, unlocking and exploring again. I'm assuming similar can happen with other specs as well.
This is extremely unpleasant, as it blocks you not only from an ascended scepter, but a few extra ascended trinkets as well.
Should be changed to exploring any of the EoD's maps on any character(class) once the collection is unlocked.

You could ask the CS Team for a copy.  Could try the one from Echovald.

Good luck.
