- Hint Completion
You can see hints you've encountered in-game by clicking the Hints button - a question mark inside a circle - on the tool bar. Since there is a hint for the special ability of each profession, to unlock this achievement a character of each profession must be played at least until all hints for their special ability are displayed. When a hint pops up, you must close the hint window before it goes away on its own to get credit for this achievement.
