What's up with Banners of Dynastic Reckoning? (capelike back piece)


Recommended Posts

I haven't found anyone talking about this in the forums, but I've seen discussions on wiki (here) and reddit (here) about people getting this Account Bound item as a reward for completing the Path of Fire story, and also others that did not.

I don't think it make sense for this to be random and not guaranteed, since it is reward for completing the story, so I can only assume it is a bug.

Has anyone else here not gotten the back item? I'm not sure if the reward comes from the story itself or an achievement for doing it, if it's from the achievement no matter how many times I do it, since I already got the achievement I'll never get the item. Has anyone gotten it after doing the story a second time? It's not such a long story step, so I don't mind repeating it, but I'd like to do that once it's confirmed I actually have a chance of getting it.

It'd be great to get official confirmation. Is it random? Is it a bug? Is it fixed? Thanks!

Hi Malediktus, I believe you are mistaking this for another item. There are 3 back pieces tied to story choice, and another 3 with higher quality that can be gotten with the character with the correct story choice by completing a collection. But I am not talking about any of those, this is a different item that is not related to any one of the 3 choices. Maybe you are part of the unlucky group so you are not aware that this item even exists. Check item here -> Wiki:Banners of Dynastic Reckoning

The particular backpiece you are referring to requires you to complete the PoF story 3 times, each time choosing a different choice on whom to support in Amnoon (Joko, Sunspears, or staying neutral) and then completing the collections for those 3 backpieces. The Sagacious Banners of Dynastic Reckoning are rewarded for the collection 'Raise the Banners: Amnoon Arbitrator'.

For the ascended version, yes, others have reported getting an exotic version for finishing the story

As Safari pointed out above, there is an exotic version that some players got by finishing the story only once. I noticed this because my SO got it, and I did not.

Please take a look at the item in the wiki link Wiki:Banners_of_Dynastic_Reckoning, this is not the award for the 3 stories achivement.The achievement is in the wiki here Wiki:Raise_the_Banners:_Amnoon_Arbitrator and its award has not yet been created in the wiki, but once it is, it will be here Wiki:Sagacious_Banners_of_Dynastic_Reckoning

Sorry for insisting so much when someone refers to another item, but I just want to make it very clear I did my research.

Has anyone that did not get this the first time actually tried to do the last part of the story again and eventually got it?

Ok since we are sharing the 1st act choice, I chose Sunspear and didn't get it. Just in case I'll also add that for the last act choices I picked Vague, Upbeat, Vague.

My SO who did get it chose Amnoon independence (and Upbeat, Somber, Upbeat). Haven't seen anyone saying they chose Amnoon independence and not getting it, so perhaps that is it. It is a perk only for those who chose independence?

There is news! Even though no dev commented here, I just logged in and received an in game mail with the item :)Subject: Banners of Dynastic ReckoningText: ...We're sending you the Banners of Dynastic Reckoning item, as we believe an in-game issue may have prevented you from receiving it. The item was intended to be awarded for your completion of the story epilogue ...

So everyone that had this issue, check your in-game mail! I guess the typical mail limit apply, so if you still don't get it but have more than 10 mails, delete some to make sure it's not waiting in there.

I know it is an old thread, but i did the PoF story with my elementalist and i got the back item from the Imane's gift, and then i did it with my Mesmer and it didn't get it from Imane's gift. Is it only obtainable one time per account or is it still bugged?. I made the same choices with both characters.
