Initial version (2026-08-18): how achievements work, the skill-milestone ladder, reward types and the launch outage
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.
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.
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.
Achievement | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
Bodybuilder | Gain 10 levels of Strength | Weapon Core Fragment x5 |
Adept | Gain 10 levels of Dexterity | Weapon Core Fragment x5 |
Big Brain | Gain 10 levels of Knowledge | Weapon Core Fragment x5 |
Marksman | Gain 10 levels of Marksmanship | Weapon Core Fragment x5 |
Super Nerd | Gain 10 levels of Technology | Ability Core Fragment x5 |
It's Mine! | Gain 10 levels of Mining | Ability Core Fragment x5 |
You're Fintastic | Gain 10 Fishing levels | Ability Core Fragment x5 |
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.
Achievement | Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|---|
Mining Journeyman | Reach level 50 Mining | A recall rune |
Mining Adept | Reach level 75 Mining | Miner headlamp, vest and trousers |
Fishing Journeyman | Reach level 50 Fishing | Orange fishing bag |
Fishing Adept | Reach level 75 Fishing | Blue fishing bag |
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.
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.
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.
