Achievement

The achievements interface in the game.

Achievements are a system in the game to help gauge what a player has accomplished in the game. They are awarded for completing various tasks within the game spanning all game types (PvE, PvP, WvW). Completing an achievement grants Achievement Points () and sometimes a title. Daily and Monthly categories offer item rewards upon completion, but otherwise achievements, achievement points, and titles grant no other in-game benefit. Progression and the associated points and titles are shared across all characters on an account and remain even if characters are deleted.

Upon obtaining an achievement, the player will be notified with a popup in the lower right corner of the UI stating the name and achievement points gained. Many achievements are tiered, and a notification will appear upon completing each tier. For these tiered achievements, the menu shows progression along the current tier, not the overall progression. A few achievements are repeatable, granting achievement points every time the progress bar is filled at which time its progress is reset. Also, some achievements have prerequisites and will not progress until all tiers of the prerequisite achievement has been completed first.

In game, players in the same guild or party may view each others total achievement points, but with the exception of wearing a title, only the player can see their individual achievements obtained. Outside the game, players may compare their accumulated achievement points with others on the leaderboards here: NA / EU.

Categories

There are two main "types" of achievements:

• Daily and Monthly achievements — they reset back to zero at the start of each day and month respectively, at midnight UTC (4:00 PM PST/5:00 PM PDT). Aside from , these gain you coins, experience, Mystic Coins, Jugs of Liquid Karma and Laurels upon completion of whole category. There are no titles related to daily or monthly achievements.
• "Regular" achievements — non-repeatable long-term goals. They only grant you and sometimes grant titles as well upon completion of all tiers.

Achievements are further divided up into 21 categories, each of which is ranked by tiers. As players progress through each tier, the achievements become progressively more difficult (the number in parentheses indicates how many specific achievements are in each category):

• When a character completes an achievement they will occasionally shout out one of the following lines, depending on their race and gender.

Race	Gender

Trivia

• The first time you navigate to the Achievements tab in the Hero window, all recently unlocked achievements will be marked as "NEW". This tag disappears after closing the window, even if you did not view the relevant category.
• There are several inconsistencies across the descriptions:
  • All achievements list the track's current score, but only some indicate the tier's ceiling.
  • Some achievements lack a space before and after the slash (/) sign indicating current and next tier amount to reach, while others have the spaces.
  • Some achievements follow Title Case (ex. X / 5 Types of Enemies) while other use the normal sentence case (ex. X / 50 areas).
  • Other inconsistencies within specific categories are noted in the relevant articles.
• In early beta versions, daily and monthly achievement chests were placed in the game world instead being available to open via interface like they are now.
• If you do not complete an achievement for content that is subsequently removed from game (I.e. Rallying flame achievement from Flame and Frost content) then those missed achievements will not show on your list, so you will be unable to see what you have missed from past stories.
• The June 11, 2013 update added a "((DELETE ME!!))" category to the achievements list which had 8 achievements. This category was deleted from the game in a subsequent update.
