Dialogue

When attempting to sit on an Arcane Council member's seat

An invisible field prevents you from sitting in the council member's chair.

It must only allow a specific individual.

When attempting to sit on Knut Whitebear's throne

(If norn)

In case your eyes are failing you, this fine chair is already occupied, Slayer.

(Otherwise)

In case your eyes are failing you, this fine chair is already occupied, stranger.

It would be rude to force the issue.

When attempting to sit on Queen Jennah's throne

Queen Jennah gives you a stern look as you approach the throne. You notice Anise subtly shake her head.

Better not.

When attempting to sit on Smodur the Unflinching's throne

Smodur the Unflinching doesn't move as you approach his chair, but you feel his eyes[sic] on you. The guards start reaching for their rifles.

This seems like a bad idea.

Notes

• Players that completed the achievement prior to the introduction of the novelty chair as a reward can purchase one for 0  from Sarettokk.
• There are more than 1,400 chairs available for sitting, scattered around all main cities and home instances. Several craftable chairs for guild halls also work for this achievement.
• Sittable chairs can be recognised by hovering your cursor over them; the cursor will become a cog.
• As the above dialogue implies, you may not actually sit upon a Ruler's Throne, but you will still receive credit for attempting. The Pale Tree doesn't have a throne.
• You can stop sitting on a chair by using   Dismount. Sitting on most stools will grant two further skills:   Rotate Left and   Rotate Right, which will rotate the direction your character faces by 90°. Sitting on benches that support multiple players will grant   Switch Seats.

Trivia

• Added to the game with the March 27, 2018 update.
• The Chair reward was added in the August 28, 2018 update. Players who already completed the achievement can get it for no additional cost from Sarettokk in Lion's Arch.
