Same here. I had all skills 200 except weaponsmithing, which I decided to finish today. I got the achievement for that specific skill, but not grandmaster (I guess because I haven’t leveled up my music skill)…
If it’s a thing, then music grind should be way lower, because, even though it’s been funny at first, and the territory standing bonus is great, I’m not going to spend every weekend of the summer event exclusively playing music. When this was added I thought it was unnecessary while there are many other issues to be fixed, but, well, please nerf the music level up grind, or exclude it from “skills grandmaster” title. Thank you very much.
I agree. I’m in the exact same boat, finally got my weaponsmithing up to 200 and still didn’t get the grandmaster title because my music is only at 40 or so. If you HAVE to have the skill up, people who already unlocked the title should lose it until music is leveled as well, (which I think is silly as well but just for argument’s sake) and any new classes or skills they launch should be the same.
I think it shouldn’t count because there is no advantage to music to the game’s ecosystem, as you said.
achievements have been broken for quiet some time. 200 in everything long before music was introduced, and can not get the title. Read the forums…there have been a lot of complaints about it.
Thank goodness I didn’t listen to everyone telling me it was pointless to level up my professions before the update when they were nerfing the xp requirements for weaponsmithing and things like that lmao.
That was fixed a while ago. I remember reading about it in some patch notes. I also know because I’ve grinded music to 200 today and finally got the title “skills grandmaster”. So, yes, music does indeed count towards it now.
Same thing here. Finally finished weaponsmithing and now see I must grind out music. This is not nice at all. I was hoping this would not be the case when Music was added to its own “casual” category. Come on Amazon, you can do better than this. Fix it so music is not required.
This definitely helps. I had to buy this sheet as it was the only one in group I didn’t have. Just need another double Xp weekend. Thank you for the pointer.
I disagree. This game rarely rewards people who put more time/effort into the game than others. Titles are one way to reward people that go the extra mile without any actual material benefit. If they change skills grandmaster, they should give folks a legacy title that new players can’t achieve as they add more skills.
Crafting has got significantly easier to get to 200 with reduced XP tables, and way easier to make gold, with more nodes, faster node respawn rates and bonus xp weekends. While I do think these crafting changes are all good for the game, the folks that put more time and effort in early in the game should be rewarded with legacy titles.
Side note, I’ve played probably a max of 5-10 hours of music in game and am already level 176. It’s way easier after the weekly patch that change xp tables. Make sure your always playing your songs on expert. It goes pretty fast now. Especially with all the double xp weekends.
