Since Wotlk was released on November 13, 2008, we have been focusing on its changes and updates. In this article, we are introducing Wotlk Achievements systems.
The Wotlk Achievements system has been added to allow characters to earn points and general bragging rights for their efforts in the World of Warcraft. The achievement screen can be access by clicking a new button, which resembles a small shield, in the player menu. Players may complete more than 800 achievements upon release of Wrath of the Lich King. Some achievements award points which will be used as a currency for rewards that have not yet been revealed.
Wotlk Achievements Summary
* The System launched with over 700 Achievements.
* New Achievements will be added with each content patch.
* Achievements can be viewed upon inspection of another player or through the online Armory.
* Achievements can be tracked by shift-clicking the icon in the Achievement UI, similar to the existing Quest tracker.
* Every time a new Achievement is earned: A special sound and animation occur. The Achievement is announced to the player's guild chat and to everyone in the area.
* Each Achievement earned will give the players a certain amount of Achievement Points.
* Some Achievements will also give rewards. These will be "purely cosmetic and just for fun." Examples include: Vanity pets, Titles, Tabards (Example: Tabard of the Achiever, reward from completing the collect 25 tabards achievement)
* Feats of Strength will be a sub-section of the Achievements system.
* Feats celebrate accomplishments in old-world Azeroth, some of which are no longer available.
* Feats give no Achievement Points.
* Feats will be applied retroactively for those who have completed the requirements.
