Account achievement rewards

---

• Hellfire and Radiant armor gallery
• Zenith weapon skins gallery (incomplete)

Account achievement rewards will be released this patch. This feature was hinted at for several months so it is good to see it finally released. For every 500 achievement points you earn, you get an achievement chest as a reward. The following is a reward table that was given (may not reflect live servers).

• You do not spend any achievement points to get those chests. They are automatically given to you and do not require purchase.
• Weapon/Armor skins, once unlocked, can be used infinite times and directly withdrawn from the achievement window (sort of like HOM skins).
• A whole selection of Zenith weapon skins will be available, not just the five shown below. You can pick only one skin to unlock per achievement chest.
• Armor skins are unlocked at higher achievement points (Hellfire and Radiant armor skins)
• You tend to get better rewards for reaching achievement points with three 0s (i.e. 1000, 2000, 3000) than two 0s (i.e. 500, 2500)
• Rewards will be given for retroactive achievement points but you will only get 1 chest per day (i.e. if you have 7k achievement points and stay there, you will need to wait 14 days to get all the chests at 1 chest per 500 points).

Quick Breakdown

• Zenith weapon skins at 1k, 2k, 4k, 5k, 7, 8, 10k, 11k, 13k, 14k, 16k, 17k, 19k, 20k achievement points
• Radiant/Hellfire gloves at 3k/12k, shoulders at 6k/15k, and helm at 9k/18k achievement points

Achievement UI revamp

---

The achievement UI interface was redesigned to reduce clutter and improve usability.

Summary window: The first thing you will notice is the summary window. From here you can see your account achievement rewards, recently completed achievements, and nearly completed achievements.

Watch List: This is where you can quickly monitor your tracked achievements. Any achievement can be tracked by simply selecting the eye icon. This will place that achievement onto the Watch List page and also place it on the top right corner if there is room. From the Watch List page, you can also quickly remove any achievements from tracking. 

Living World: This is where you can find the achievements for the most recent patch. Each patch will have its own unique achievement icon. This is the window for the Bazaar of the Four Winds achievements.

Activities: Here you can find achievements for the various mini-games. Belcher’s Bluff, Bar Brawl and Keg Brawl are listed here. On live servers you should also see Crab Toss under it. Note that Bar Brawl is not actually available yet.

Achievement details: Clicking on any achievement will bring you to its own page. Here you can find the rewards given for this particular achievement and a tabulation of the achievement points for the various tiers. 

Achievement sorting: Under any achievement category you can sort the various achievements by Completion or Alphabetical.
