Eye of Watcher Progression Issues

Current Sigil Collection Problem

Players attempting to complete the Eye of Watcher progression face a significant limitation:

• Maximum Collectible Sigils: 11 out of required total
• Missing Sigil: Locked behind both Soul Reaper and Arrancar factions
• Current Status: Impossible to complete full Eye of Watcher set
• Developer Status: Acknowledged issue, potential future fix planned

Impact on Area Access

This sigil limitation affects overall game progression:

• Blocked Progression: Cannot access certain high-tier content
• Faction Lock: Must choose between Soul Reaper or Arrancar paths
• Future Updates: Developers may add portal systems or teleport options

Community Recommendation: Focus on one faction's progression path rather than attempting to collect all sigils across multiple factions.
