What items counts as items?

[Pyromax]

Is it green items that doesnt count?

Because I did 3.8m dmg as landsknecht with shadow cloak
ALOT with necromancers clutch
atleast a milion with imp before I removed it.

HOW COME I ONLY DID 4.8M damage when I ATLEAST DID 6M?

Something is VERY wrong with spirit dash achievement. I never got the spirit orb and only got dash upgrades (3x2) Got 98m damage once and it said that I did 7m damage?!??!?!?!?!?!?
And another time I did 30m and it said 19.6m (This one I can accept, it does look resonable. But it just makes the previous example more bizarre!)

Did you tried to abuse the Ghost Wall maybe?

No, don't run into that trap. It was a thing, but not anymore.

This was recent so maybe it doesnt work anymore.

In both cases, I had no issues at all to reach the dmg goals.
The item one was with Echoing Band alone and Spirit Warrior Dash with Shieldmaiden.

Items that deal direct damage are valid sources. So think, Echoing Band or Gorgon's Mask etc. Blazing Shell is NOT a valid source, as it deals only burn-type damage. Sparking Tips/Elemental Resonator is the same. Summon rings are not valid sources either iirc.

Also, the Ghost Wall in Viaduct can now only be used for "hit X things" achievements. It has had it's HP stripped. They were 1M HP with a 90% damage resist. Now they have 10k HP with 99.9% damage resist.

EDIT: and they have damage numbers forced off so you won't see damage dealt to them.

No, I have done all my runs today on the new map.

52m damage with spirit warriors. 6m as dash damage, even tho I spent all my time using the dash. My game is broken, aids to this ♥♥♥♥

[fromage_enrage]

You probably mean "technician" item, which is UTTER. BS.
Devs, maybe word your achievement description properly next time?

[Pyromax]

I did find out why my numbers were so off trying to complete the Spirit warrior achievement. Sprit dash does NOT count.

And since it does more damage and have bigger aoe than normal dashes, dashes dont do any damage after you have chosen spirit dash. So you have to use vanila spirit warrior

Not sure if it is a translation thing but the term "item" seems quite vague and it is bound to cause some confusion, at least for me.

For me items would be:
Consumables
Powerups

But not sure if gear/equipment are also considered items as well.

Other than that , I'm loving/hating the devs for this update. 😁

English is not my native language.
Item was for me always things to use as a tool or consumable.
Things I have on me are gear.
The whole lot in sum is equipment.

Older SNES RPGS I pllayed in english teached me it a bit this way,
although gear was often refered as equipment and tools/consumables items.

Not sure 5m dmg is possible with powerups only...

Good for you, but theer is something extremely off with the dmg numbers in the pause menu. I had 2.9 mio damage with the echoing band alone listed, yet the achievement didn't fire until way later, with way over 5 mio. Wasn't enough for the 5 mio damage achievment, tho.
Or items is something else entirely.

[MrQun]

I'd originally thought that this achievement/ quest was related to grenades or projectile damage. The quest is called "Technician" and it just so happens that Landsknecht has a Trait in Dedication called Technician which buffs projectiles.

Yes, the wording for some of these quests needs to be clearer.

[zeke]

For anyone struggling, I was able to get it fairly easily with gorgon mask, thorn fist, and the chest piece that has a burn aoe (which I paired with the gloves that give pick up radius).*

I played with the Landsknecht in the new map on agony and got all the technician achievements in one go (I was even splitting my attention with getting another achievement while doing so). I did keep my build light on abilities (only 1 or 2) to make sure my items had the chance to do damage.

*And echo band which I forgot to list

[Pirate]

Echoing band with a pure Rifle build made short work of the quest. Got it in like 10 minutes. Mark of the archer, take all the rifle related traits + crit + attack speed from archer. Double up attack speed related traits and you will be machine gunning out 20k+ regular damage shots that trigger echoing band and destroy everything. Stuff can barely get on screen if I just sit AFK.

I took transfixion as my only ability, just to help with AoE in the early game.
