"Infinite" Halloween achievements are capped

[Daddicus.6128]

I can't find any reference to this, but the so-called "infinite" achievements for Halloween are capped. The cap is greater than 4 times and less than or equal to 6.

Capped for achievement points, that is. You still get the bags.

[Kyban.4031]

You can repeat them infinitely for the ToT bags but the ap is capped at 5 completions (25 ap each). There are a lot of "infinite" achievements that work this way, some seem to be there just for those interested in seeing how many times they've done them. You can hover over the achievement's total ap in the achievement panel to see how much of the ap you have, for example 5/25ap (when you've completed it once).

[RoseofGilead.8907]

Yes, the achievements say the max AP you can get from them in-game. They're infinite in the same way that the salvaging achievement is; you can keep doing it, but you'll only get AP for a set number of repeats.

[Daddicus.6128]

Yeah, I guessed that. I didn't know it was common knowledge, and I didn't know the exact number (5).

Thank you!

(Others: you can ignore this thread, unless you didn't know.)

You can see the actual numbers by moving your mouse over the AP numbers when you're in the detailed achievement view. Clocktower's Champion, for example, shows:

• Repeatable +5 (ap symbol)
• Total: x/25 (ap symbol)

[Tanner Blackfeather.6509]

To my knowledge every repeatable achievment have an AP cap. There are no infinite AP source

And here I thought I was slowly gaining achievement points.Guess I'll never get past a certain number (as in in the 10,000s)

What's the limit of repeats on Agent of Entropy?

The AP limit is 250 points.

For Achievement Points, 125 times (capped at 250 APs). Otherwise, it's infinite.

[Fenom.9457]

kinda silly "infinite" achieves aren't anywhere near infinite in AP

[Donari.5237]

They used to be infinite. And then some people salvaged All The Things and got astoundingly ungodly amounts of AP, so ANet capped it and took away the excess AP.

[Khisanth.2948]

There would be so much crying from certain people if things like Agent of Entropy actually gave infinite points but that would never happen anyway since ANet would not be able to crease AP reward items fast enough.

That is probably one of the reasons they've slowed down AP acquisition in general.

I think the cap has more to do with the fact that they started giving stuff for APs. Before it was just a meaningless number.

Yes, both are correct. People earned tons of AP via salvaging when there were no tangible rewards for having AP. When ANet added AP chests, they capped the amount of AP, retroactively in some people's cases.
