09/17/15 - UPDATE!!!!!
achievement finally obtainable after a 4 month glitch was fixed with the new elemental evil update. Many dungeons were removed from the game and only 4 are left! Gear score was removed in favor of item level and now the minimum level to start an epic is level 70. A few new hurdles to jump through but the achievement IS obtainable once again!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epic dungeons are only available once you hit level 70. Epic dungeons also count towards the normal dungeon count for the "Dungeoneering" achievement (complete 10 normal dungeons)
Once you hit level 70, hit the menu button and go to quests. Under queues, you will see a list of the 4 epic dungeons you can select. These are identified by a new symbol. Normal dungeons have a gate door symbol, epics have the same symbol with what appears to be a dragon's head and wings above the door.
In addition to hitting level 70, you also must have the correct item level to enter each dungeon. If you hit menu and go to character sheet, under your level you will see your total item level. This is the total sum of the levels of all your equiped items. If you meet the minimum level, you can select to join a queue for these epics. Just do any 25 you like, you can do the easiest one 25 times if you wish. The following item levels are required for each mission
Lair of Lostmauth - 1,600
Cragmire Crypts - 2,000
Gray Wolf Den - 2,000
Temple of the Spider - 2,000

Yup... still broken. Been checking daily.
By REJECt444 on 13 Jun 2015 20:54
It still disgusts me that my solution has been hidden because of low vote ratio...I was saying what you said, I edited it multiple time to fulfill those that complained about how it was long, or else things...
I suppose the 2 down votes you got are because you still don't have the achievement, am I right ?
Well, at least, I hope your solution will stay here.
I would just like to add some points (that are buried with my old solution):
- The achievement is time consuming. Even doing the first dungeon in 20 minutes (that's the fastest if the team is excellent) 25 times, it's 8h20. Add the queue requests, might be 2 minutes at least for a dungeon you get 9h10. Well, this isn't 10 hours, but yet, the probability of completing this cheevo under 10 hours is null.
- There is a random leader, and he can choose to kick you from the game, which frustrates a lot, even more if you're facing the final boss...So there's a risk to meet shitty players, and this doesn't depend on how you're going on this cheevo.

I think its the last update i am stuck on 56% since yesterday and i have done 3 dungeons today and none of them counted
By My Name is BaRt on 06 May 2015 11:04
yeah i think the patch broke it. did another one today and nothing.
By Achti on 06 May 2015 16:56
This might be the case. Mine is stuck too since the patch.
By UP Johnny on 06 May 2015 17:02
Stuck here too since the patch :(
By Calex dEUS on 07 May 2015 08:18
I'm also having this issue. Stuck at 16%. :(
By Apostle92627 on 07 May 2015 21:20
Voted negative so I can be notified when the achievement is working again. :)
By Apostle92627 on 07 May 2015 22:39
Booo, mines been broken for a few days, I thought it was just me
By ZymunGuile on 08 May 2015 12:40
Anyway to get around the fact that dickhole virgins always kick me, because they want there "epic" drop at the end? Like, can you do it solo? Anytime I manually enter a dungeon it's not the epic version. Anytime I play with randoms, get to the end and.... Fucking nerds
By Fiction0713 on 09 May 2015 14:24
No way to solo these. if your tired of getting kicked try setting up a gaming session or join the TA guild and ask for help.
By REJECt444 on 09 May 2015 16:17

By Fiction0713 on 09 May 2015 17:35
I would do The Cloak Tower over and over. Its the first epic people do when they hit 60 and I doubt they are gonna know they can even kick people. That and the fact that the loot there is the worst of them all anyway.
By Shand Alk3 on 11 May 2015 08:27
Thanks for the heads up on it being broken.
By EggBigot on 12 May 2015 05:42
The game updated. Has anybody tried Dungeon Master yet?
By Apostle92627 on 14 May 2015 14:49
I have accomplished at least 8 Epic Dungeons and no progress is showing. Not even One Percent. Damn bugged game ever.
By Xbou1 on 14 May 2015 15:16
game patched today but epics still do not work.
By REJECt444 on 15 May 2015 02:53
Did anyone try hitting up their twitter for a response from them?
By BPN GAMING on 15 May 2015 09:14
Don't expect a response from them unless it's in regards to micro transactions...
By Kymebul on 16 May 2015 14:29
I sent in a ticket. They referred me to the bugs board. I linked to a topic on the bugs board in my ticket. WTF?!
By Apostle92627 on 16 May 2015 15:52
Is there a way to get an update message once this is hotfixed?
By D34dBodyMan on 18 May 2015 04:35
For add bullsh..t on zen market don't worry we have a update all week....but for patched an achievement bug we got nothing....
By Yey0u on 18 May 2015 18:06
I hope they fix it very soon.
By Apocalypse Kane on 20 May 2015 14:30
they could care less about achievements, only micro transactions. I only have 8 achievements left, 2 I'll get tonight, that means out of the 6 left, 3 are glitched. I was at 80% on dungeon and never looked for stones either. I won't even bother to try epic until it's fixed but most likely they will never fix them if they only respond to zen messages
FUCK man I was wondering why NONE of my dungeons have counted. I was at 10% on the 10 regular dungeons achievement and now I'm level 60 and have done dozens of dungeons and have no progress toward either of the two dungeon achievements.
How the fuck did they screw this up when the patch had nothing to do with achievements.
By LifeExpectancy on 29 May 2015 13:42
By Apostle92627 on 31 May 2015 19:40
Maybe there is a little hope that everything will be resolved soon.

By REJECt444 on 08 Jun 2015 11:35
It's crazy to see that!!! Seriously they really work on that??
By Yey0u on 09 Jun 2015 21:00
Yes, lots of updates and events for improve the chance that somebody waste real money in the game, but 2 months and they don't solves this issue generated by post launch patch. The content of this game is too short, I lost interest to play it.
By Cypher#3260 on 09 Jun 2015 22:27
I see a few people have gotten 100% in this game a few days ago maybe message them and ask them if the achievements are still broken?
By OverkillChaos on 13 Jun 2015 18:52
To complete this game not imply unlock this achievement now. All last recent winners won this on 5/5
By Cypher#3260 on 13 Jun 2015 20:02
They know about it and made a post on their forums that they are working on it.
By D34dBodyMan on 15 Jun 2015 15:02
This is officially my last achievement.
By Apostle92627 on 21 Jun 2015 06:41
By Cypher#3260 on 26 Jun 2015 06:24
I am so disappointed, the lack of support in case of glitch, drastically ruin the gaming experience :(
By Apocalypse Kane on 26 Jun 2015 09:22
Just finished an epic dungeon after todays patch, counter didn't go up, looks like it's still glitched. :'(
By djj on 30 Jun 2015 17:39
By Apocalypse Kane on 30 Jun 2015 19:02
Yeah I really hope they fix this soon. Seems like you would fix something that you broke a priority.
By spacedvest2 on 02 Jul 2015 14:34
By My Name is BaRt on 05 Jul 2015 01:15
They have BEEN working on it... They said so back on May 31st... :(
By REJECt444 on 05 Jul 2015 01:19
Lair of the mad pirate King is a really easy epic dungeon.

Devs disrespect gamers more 2 months and the achievement still glitched...
By Yey0u on 16 Jul 2015 00:35
Probably wont be fixed till the level 70 expansion I bet. Thats what I'm expecting anyway.
Funny indie devs with no $$ can fix achievement issues faster than this big company making oodles of money selling Zen in the game.
By LifeExpectancy on 16 Jul 2015 02:53
People really need to get on NW's ass about it being glitched.. they say they know about it.. but they've been silent on whether or not it's being even looked into to be fixed.
By Xenolith666 on 18 Jul 2015 20:38
By The5thCylon on 04 Aug 2015 17:54
Yeah, finally some good news! Thanks
The5thCylon for sharing it.
By Apocalypse Kane on 04 Aug 2015 19:21
4 months to change 1 line of code.
By Cypher#3260 on 05 Aug 2015 07:03
Im praying they never add new achievements considering how bad they handled these three glitched ones.
By LifeExpectancy on 05 Aug 2015 12:50
@LifeExpectanacy: Me too! Over 4 months to change a code. 1000G is enough.
By Mystic x360x on 09 Aug 2015 17:41
Just giving this a comment to remind people that the update today is supposed to fix this and the other broken ones, I'll post back later to report if it starts tracking again after the severs come back online.
By Calex dEUS on 08 Sep 2015 15:00
By Apocalypse Kane on 08 Sep 2015 17:46
WOn't jknow if it's fixed or not for a week or so , epics no require you to be level 70 ffs
By Calex dEUS on 08 Sep 2015 18:17
By Mystic x360x on 08 Sep 2015 22:56
Pretry shitty of them to force us to get to 70 before we can even re-do this. None of the ones we did while it *was* broken counted. I'm still at 0% despite having done dozens of PK runs. And I have one of the epic ones in "done unlocking status". FFS.
On a side note, rogues still wreck people lol.
By LifeExpectancy on 09 Sep 2015 02:15
Yeah, well my gear score dropped from 9,957 to 1,199! Was this purposeful?
By OneBgBdArtemis on 09 Sep 2015 15:11
Mine too. Items now have their own independent level and gear is calculated that way now instead of the old way. Also, as of yet, nobody has unlocked this achievement post patch. I will edit the solution once we can confirm it works.
By REJECt444 on 09 Sep 2015 15:49
it sucks that any of the epic ones you did before this update don't count. does anyone know if they've removed any of the dungeons from the epic list, since looking at the current que there are only 3 available, and I still need to get the acvhievement for beating the secret boss in the Spellplague Caverns and it isn't listed
By wolfzero01 on 09 Sep 2015 17:19
I can't even see ANY epic dungeons or skirmishes! Oh well.....I'll take a break for a while. I also can't seem to sell on the trade house now, AND I have no ability to salvage epic gear...is it because I'm now not max level?
By OneBgBdArtemis on 09 Sep 2015 18:45
It looks like, rather than fixing the achievements, they decided to discontinue them. Now we will never get 100 percent.
By Apostle92627 on 10 Sep 2015 06:31
I'm just wondering why all this mess, fix the first set of achievements before adding more!
By Apocalypse Kane on 10 Sep 2015 07:44
U do realize that epic dungeons have just been moved to level 70 now, they haven't disappeared. You can't access them until level 70, they've been reworked for higher levels.
By BPN GAMING on 10 Sep 2015 09:41
^Exactly. But we still can't get the achievement either way because it was discontinued.
By Apostle92627 on 10 Sep 2015 15:11
What achievement was discontinued?
By Slam Shot Sam on 10 Sep 2015 16:58
Its not discontinued, it's just listed on TA as discontinued because it was unobtainable for (3) months, if they fixed the other (2) discontinued achievements (which they did) I'm sure this is also fixed..
By ResinousHashish on 10 Sep 2015 17:23
well my counter is going up, so that is a good sign
By SedateRial on 14 Sep 2015 01:02
yes that is good news... however, the "recent winners" list on the right still shows May 5th was the last time this achievement was earned. Trying to level up to 70 myself to get the last few I need to finally update this achievement guide.
By REJECt444 on 14 Sep 2015 03:50
people are now unlocking this achievement. I just need to find out what the new requirements for each dungeon are since they seem to have done away with gear score and i will update this one last time :)
By REJECt444 on 17 Sep 2015 02:15
By SatNiteEduardo on 17 Sep 2015 06:06
Kessel's Retreat is the one to do for this achievement now. It's by no means a walk in the park with the minimum gear rating but it's a quick one and easier than any of the others to do with randoms.
By Calex dEUS on 17 Sep 2015 18:33
Isn't Kessels Retreat a skirmish? Does that count for epic dungeons?
By spacedvest2 on 17 Sep 2015 20:07
it shouldnt count. I am in the process of rewriting this achievement guide to reflect the update...
By REJECt444 on 18 Sep 2015 02:49
It counts!!! but in game it counts towards the daily skimish and not the daily dungeon even though it says it's a dungeon in the queue description. Anyway works for the achievement.
By Calex dEUS on 20 Sep 2015 19:52
That is awesome Calex, I still have a way to go before level 70, but will definitely use this method
By spacedvest2 on 20 Sep 2015 21:32
Kessels does work I have just got the achievement and would also like to add kessels faster then running dungeons we did 5 runs in a hour and it popped on the final run
By ProudBowdy on 22 Oct 2015 15:53
Very difficult to get higher gear. I think maybe need a good partners. Because I m a CW with other players (2000GS) ,but no one heal us...Need search by luck..
By MIXHONG on 26 Oct 2015 03:30
I would like to add that Castle Never does not count towards this achievement.
By Mtld on 22 Sep 2016 02:31
Anyone still going for this? Shoot me a message on XBL
By KiRRAYNE on 20 Jul 2017 18:10
Castle Never still doesn't count.
By THE OOZ on 24 Jul 2017 17:41
Good to know that Castle Never doesn't count. I was wondering why it wasn't adding to the progress bar.
By KiRRAYNE on 11 Jun 2018 18:53
I think the IL needed has increased substantially since this was posted.
By Leo Ascendent on 09 Mar 2019 03:35
AND my second character has the invoking icon, belonging to right on the dpad, greyed out, even though the sign in the top right corner of the creek is colored aND shows no time left for the next invoking. Been like this for 25 hours now.
By OneBgBdArtemis on 10 Sep 2015 00:10
I was not aware that yours was hidden. I thought you took it down. I'll add your info later And credit you for it. I've done quite a few, just not all 25 yet As yes, it is quite time consuming.
By REJECt444 on 01 May 2015 11:41
ive done 4 epic dungeons sofar (3 on one char and 1 on another) but the counter seems to be stuck on 8% wich is only 2 dungeons counted for. ive always opened the chest at the end of the dungeon. any tips what could cause this? :(
By Achti on 05 May 2015 21:48
Has anyone been able to reach them on social media? This shouldn't take them over a month to fix. Do they even know about it?
By GoldenKnight II on 15 Jun 2015 14:59
I was expecting no changes since I read the list of "improvements" on Arc forum. The long list of changes and fixes didn't include the bugged achievements. I still had hope they could include it at the last moment but I was disappointed like the rest of you. I really hope they will fix it soon since it's 2 months they are broken.
By Moliitov on 01 Jul 2015 07:16
this stupid update removed level 60 epic dungeons, I can't see any as with many others...
By ResinousHashish on 09 Sep 2015 23:15
I'm looking for a dedicated group to knock this and the dungeon-specific achievements out. Even though most require item level of 1600, I highly suggest getting to 2400ish before bothering. Easiest way is to do pvp and buy a full Grim or Burning set.
Ideal group: paladin, cleric, guardian or GWF, and two DPSers. I'd love to find a few dedicated ppl to do this with. I keep making sessions but no one joins. I'm a 2600+ item level trickster rogue.
