Master Wizard Rank Weirdness

[Jax O'Gaytor]

Howdy. After I saw the achievement requirements, I decided to 100% em. Just join the guilds and do the quests, nice and shrimple. However. The remake has carried over a bit of jank/bug that essentially makes getting the rank of Master Wizard in the Mages Guild quest sort of impossible. I have redone quests, followed the instructions of forum posts from people talking about this exact issue for the original game, 11-15 years ago. And of course, nothin. I finish the bloodworm and amulet quests aaaand...nothin. I just get ranked up to wizard and nothing else. I've redone the ambush quest to see if I missed the rank up (as is the original bug to begin with) and uh...all I get told is "You don't meet the requirements to rank up at this time." Yippee for me. I've also heard that the fighters guild has a similar issue with one of their ranks. Thrilled to see that too. I've gotten every rank before arch-mage, except master wizard. So I'm just kinda stuck. The mages guild questline is long and I'd rather only do it once just for achievement completion and then never again. I suppose all I can do is just hope and wait for a potential update where they fix this and hand out these illusive rank achievements to everyone that qualifies. But I gotta be so honest and say I have no faith that this will happen. Whoopee.

Could be worse. I have the achievement for Arch Mage but the Master Wizard achieve is still incomplete. I'm not sure how.

I made it to arch-mage but I noticed there was no Necromancers Amulet in the Arch mage nightstand - the bloodworm helm was there though. You get no cool rewards for ranking up master wizard or archmage - I mean I guess the staff of worms from mannimarco looks cool but you don't get any magic archmage robes or anything useful - youre just travens ♥♥♥♥♥. So I loaded up a save I did before I turned the amulet and helm in and said ♥♥♥♥ the mages guild-I'm keeping these items - The amulet is OP

"By the nine!"

I had this same issue, the Trophy does not seemed to be bugged. In reality you can actually "miss" a rank step. When doing the mage guild quests, you should check for an advancement after EVERY one you do, just to be safe, even if there is not a notification for one.

It seems most people lose the ability to get this trophy after the quest "Vahacen's Secret". Before accepting the next quest, go Raminus Polus for an advancement. Sadly you will have to re-do most of the questline, but I can confirm I just did this and the trophy popped after advancing to where I should be. I hope this helps and finds others so they do not run into the same issue.

At the end of Vahtacen's Secret you get asked if you're ready for the next task right afterwards and that way, you miss one promotion rather than skip it and that is the problem at getting the rank of master wizard.

Rest assured that it won't take that long, because as I noticed that I've missed this achievement, the only previous save I had was in the mission for collecting wood for your own staff and it 'only' took me 2h 40min to rush through the quests.

I got the rank without a hitch, so I am not aware of a bug. But I did what is mentioned above, namely always checking for advancement with Ramius. I got sent by Traven to see him for promotion, but that prodding happened only once or twice I believe.
