11 Achievements in Soulbound: Online mark progress and pay for it. Unlike the purely cosmetic achievement lists in many games, most of them hand back an item, so working through the ladder is a genuine part of progression rather than a display case.

33 How They Work
44  
55 Achievements are earned by completing specific feats, and the largest group of them tracks skill milestones. Because every skill keeps its own experience pool and levels independently, the achievement list effectively mirrors the skill list: each skill has an early milestone for the first ten levels, then higher ones further up. Story and dungeon feats sit alongside those, and the rewards climb from crafting components to usable gear as you go.

99 The first tier is uniform across the combat and gathering skills: ten levels in a skill earns a stack of crafting cores, weapon cores for the weapon-facing skills and ability cores for the rest. Those are the same components that feed permanent ability and weapon upgrades, which makes the early achievements a meaningful head start rather than a badge.

1212 The Higher Rungs
1313  
1414 Beyond the first ten levels the rewards change character, from crafting components to usable equipment and convenience items. The gathering skills are the clearest example: a Journeyman rung at level fifty and an Adept rung at level seventy-five each pay out something you would otherwise have to craft or buy.

17-Those level-fifty and level-seventy-five rungs sit above the level cap that applies to the game's first chapter, so they are targets for later chapters rather than things to chase in your first week.
17+Player-recorded per-skill level ceilings conflict with the levels these achievements ask for, and no settled figure is published for the current build, so treat both rungs as long-run targets rather than things to chase in your first week.

1919 Where Your Achievements Show Up
2020  
2121 Achievements are not only a private list. The studio runs a live character database, the Armoury, that covers every character in the game and reads straight from the running servers. Each entry carries a character's name, level and server region, and opens onto that character's gear, skills and achievements. The whole set refreshes once a day.

2323 That makes an achievement a public record rather than a private one, and it is the quickest way to see what a finished skill ladder actually looks like on somebody else's character before you commit weeks of your own to one.

2525 Achievements At Launch
2626  
2727 The achievement system had a rough opening. In the first days of Early Access a serious fault was traced to it after player reports, and the studio switched the whole system off while it was repaired, then restored it. Nothing was lost in the process, and the system has been stable since. Steam achievements are listed as a supported feature on the store page, alongside leaderboards, which were themselves repaired shortly after launch so that every Dungeon Finder entry reports correctly.

2929 The achievement list grows as content is added, so a completed list today is not a completed list after the next content update. Requirements and rewards are being tuned during Early Access.
