Badge bug?

Hi folks. I noticed something odd this morning and wondered if it's a known error or if I'm just doing it wrong.

Anyway, I got up a bit earlier than I need to this morning so I could log on to do some invention badges (yes, I am that sad), but I noticed that no matter how many inventions I made, the count on the "nearly completed" section of the badge tab wouldn't change. I'll give an example:

I clicked on the badge tab and went to inventions. I scrolled down to where it said "Create level 15 to 20 Accuracy Enhancements to get this badge" and when I hovered the mouse over the uncompleted badge it showed the "9 of 15 complete" popup or something similar. So I bought ingredients and recipes for 6 level 20 Accuracy IOs and went to craft them.

But I didn't get a badge. In fact, when I went back to check, the hover-over still said the same "9 of 15 complete". The same thing happened again with 2 other IO types I tried.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance

You need to craft both from the 15 range and the 20 range. According to my tables, in the 15-20 range, Accuracy IOs need to be created in a 7-6 split, that is, 7 level 15 ones and 6 level 20 ones.

For that same level range all the other categories are also on a 7-6 split with the exception of Debuff (2-2), Heal and Mitigation (5-4) and Mez (5-5).

I don't believe that is 100% accurate. IIRC, for any Crafting Badge with an odd number of crafts required, half need to be of each level, and the one that is left-over can be of EITHER level. So, in your example, 6 must be level 15 and 6 must be level 20, the 13th craft can be of 15 or 20. The thing is, crafting an additional item of the lower level is cheaper, and so most tables and such include the extra one on that side to simplify.

Wow, that IS sad. Of course, when I used to get up early on Sunday mornings to hunt badges in Recluse's Victory while it was empty, that was just common sense.

I remember having to do that to get the 10 Missile Launch badge in Warburg, but that was on Freedom when there was more PvP.


Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
