How to Complete the Gear Tracking Achievement in Guild Wars 2
Quick links
- Rewards for completing equipment tracking
Guild Wars 2: The Way of Fire is full of dangerous enemies scattered across the desert, as well as NPCs in need of help. When you get to Elon Riverlands, you’ll have the chance to collect five pieces of armor for Shadi, a member of the Sunspears. These pieces of armor are located in various places on the map and can be difficult to find.
In this guide we will look at how to complete the Equipment Tracker achievement, as well as rewards. This achievement won’t show up in your achievements until you speak with Shadi for the first time, so let’s take a quick look at where you can find her.
Where to find Shadi
Shadi can be found along the northern edge of Elon Riverlands, in the upper left corner. Its position will be marked with a Path of Fire Mastery Iconallowing you to find it easily.
Once you speak with Shadi you will unlock Equipment Tracker and can start looking for his five pieces of equipment.
Equipment slots
Let’s take a look at the location of each piece of gear below. This will include the location of the map, as well as any enemies you encounter nearby.
Shadi’s Sword
Shadi’s sword is right next to Shadi. Rather than picking up his sword from the ground, you get it once the veteran Fire Djinn has been defeated. If the Djinn isn’t there, just wait a few minutes and it should reappear. Once defeated, you will get the sword.
Shadi Helm
To find Shadi’s Helm, head to Augrey’s Shadow Waypoint. From herego northeast to the hero challenge on the right side of the map. Below, you’ll find a cave with a bunch of equipment inside. By inspecting this pile, you will get his helm.
This cave will have enemies marked inside; you can either sneak and quickly take the helm or kill them first.
Shadi’s Gloves
Shadi’s Gloves are on the southern boundary of Skimmer Ranch. From the Skimmer Ranch waypoint, head south until you come to a pillar marked on the map above. By using your spring mount, you can reach the top of this rock pillar.
Once at the top, there will be a minor fire wyvern that can easily be defeated. Shadi’s Gloves will be obtained once you inspect the pile of leaves nearby.
Shadi Boots
From the Skimmer Ranch waypoint, Head northwest until you come to the Skritt’s Audience POI. On the map, you will see an arrowhead shape; it is a covered area with a standing skritt below.
To get Shadi’s boots you will need to fight this veteran skritt, who wears them. In case of defeat, he will give you the boots.
Shadi Armor
Finally, we have Shadi’s armor. Once again, start from the Skimmer Ranch waypoint, heading east this time.
Using your skimmer holder, cross in the sand then face north; you should see a cave opening you can enter leading to the Fallback Fissure point of interest.
Inside you’ll find tough enemies, as well as a Hermit’s chest containing Shadi’s armor. These enemies are quite dangerous, but you can easily sneak up and grab the chest armor as it is positioned near the edge of the area they are standing on.
Rewards for completing equipment tracking
After getting all five pieces of armor, go back to Shadi and talk to him. This will complete the achievement and reward you with the following items.
- 5 success points
- 1 mastery point
- Mini Staff Sergeant Shadi
With this you have completed the gear tracker achievement. There are still plenty of Achievements and Mastery Points that can be completed in Elon’s Riverlands, so keep exploring!
