Where do you get notified when you get an achievement?

Most items rewarded from achievements are account bound. Upon obtaining an achievement, the player will be notified with a popup in the lower right corner of the UI stating the name, tier, description, and achievement points gained.

How are achievements organized?

Achievements are organized into achievement categories, which are organized into logical groups to aid in navigation. Progression, achievement points, and titles are shared across all characters on an account. Most items rewarded from achievements are account bound.

What is a meta achievement?

Meta achievements act as an umbrella achievement for the achievement category, requiring other achievements in the category to be completed. Other achievements serve as an umbrella achievement for certain achievements in the category , such as Learn to Kite.

Where is the second chest in Locksmithing 101?

The second chest is located in the second area at the top of a hill. Players can purchase a key from the shop at the bottom of the hill if one has not dropped already/playing in Infantile Mode.

Can you do Locksmithing 103 and 202 in Infantile?

1. While Locksmithing 103 and 202 can be done in Infantile, it is actually easier to do in Normal Mode as the enemies near the chest drop keys and therefore players do not need to run back and forth from shops to the chests.

Display

World completion information is maintained for each character in your account. The Character selection screen displays the percentage world completion for each character. Both the world completion and zone completion for the current character are displayed using the world map ( M key).

Reward

Rewards for completion of explorable zones scale up to the top level of that zone. For example, the map completion of Fireheart Rise can give rewards up to level 70. In addition, the rarity of the items received scale with the level of that zone, from Masterwork to Rare to Exotic .

Commonly missed areas

All of the locations listed here contain map completion objectives - see the related section on the Explorer article for commonly missed areas with no objectives that don't contribute towards map completion.

Trivia

During beta testing, the coin reward for fully exploring a city was comparable to completing an explorable area. After release, city completion rewarded 1 , but that was removed as part of the 25 September 2012 update.

Story Completion Achievements – 0AP – 1MP

Once you complete the story episode, you will earn this achievement and unlock all the rest of the achievements, you can replay the episode and you will see Purple markers to replay each instance necessary for achievements. In other words you can’t earn any achievements during your first playthrough.

Story Instance Achievements – 45AP

For this achievement you need to kill five Inquest with one single barrage from Scarlet’s turrets. After securing the first security console just fire the turret at the thick group of Inquest and you should get the achievement.

A Tutorial achievement section has been added to the General category. A great deal of them make sense. However the ones that are just map completion doesn't make sense since it is something that players are doing anyways.

Was about to make a similar topic. I am disappointed by the implementation but then again you cannot teach players by achievements... There needs to be a real tutorial instance explaining CC, combo skills...

I think it's a nice plus for brand new players to get extra goodies in just running around as normal. That being said, there do need to be some tutorials implemented as far as learning core mechanics as Aaralyna mentioned above. Still, makes leveling for lowbies a bit more pleasant.

Well, a new player wouldn't necessarily have the drive or even idea to finish map completion. Especially now that every story step is locked behind the next 10 levels.

StarDroid.1038

I think for a new player who just started the game those achievements are pretty nice, they show the basics of crafting, combat and what to do.

Question: Should these achievements be doable by non-beginners, particularly with high level or even max level characters? Or do non-beginners have to make a totally new character to do them?

These should be retroactively completed for people who already did the requirements in the past.I don't have a free character slot to do some of them.
