Achievements (Online)

Achievements are actions the player can do to earn achievement points. The biggest and (often) the hardest achievements can give you a title upon completion, showing off what achievement you have accomplished with a pre-fix or sur-fix to your name. These are usually achievements compiled of other achievements but can also be shorter and easier ones, like completing a certain quest line. The points do not have any particular use but can be fun and engaging to collect. Your total achievement points and completion in each category is displayed in the "Overview" window under the achievements tab in the journal. Some examples are collecting a certain amount of skyshards, exploring the world or doing certain quests. Some quests unlock new dyes for players to customize their armor with. Unlocked dyes are available for all characters on an account.

Some achievements include specific items or monsters, in which the achievement is earned upon completing a list, while other achievements are earned upon killing, collecting or finding a certain amount of something. These achievements are earned once the set number is reached and highers the number of items or kills in the process, giving the achievement a new rank. Number-achievements like these have 4 ranks, I, II, III, IV with progressing higher numbers to reach with more achievement points to be earned.

Certain achievements found under the "Veteran Dungeons" tab of "Dungeons" category can yield veteran points.

Update 3 saw the introduction of 47 new achievements.
