Achievements
151 one-time goals in three tiers — Easy, Hard and Extreme — and the Achievement Shop their points buy.
Achievements (called Merits until October 2026) are the Hoard's long-term goals, opened by breaking gate 11. Each one is a one-time task — open chests, reach gates, grow the crew, and goals from all over the game: Boss Raids, the Ball Grove, expeditions and fossils, the Ball Factory, bounties, weekly events, stickers, the Cake Party and your pet collection. Finishing one pays 
10 Achievement Points of its own tier, and those are spent in that tier's page of the ACHIEVEMENT SHOP on permanent Hoard upgrades.
There are three tiers — EASY, HARD, EXTREME. EASY opens with the board. Each later tier opens only when every achievement of the tier before it is done, except the event GOLD ones (see below). Progress counts from the moment you start playing, not from when the tier opens, so some goals may already be met when their tier opens.
The tiers are paced for steady play: EASY goals land in roughly the first four months, HARD ones up to about a year and a quarter in, and EXTREME ones across the long game, up to the last gate. Each tier's list below runs from the nearest goal to the furthest. Goals that hang on luck are only ever EXTREME, the last tier. Goals that hang on beating other players are the event GOLDS (a finish in the top 10% of any weekly event, any theme): 1 in EASY, 10 in HARD, 25 in EXTREME. They pay like any other achievement, but no tier waits on them, so a player who never makes the top 10% is never locked out. An achievement for a mode that is switched off is hidden until the mode opens.
Points and the shop budget
| Tier | Achievements | Points to earn | Whole shop costs | You can afford |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EASY | 47 | 470 | 454 | 100% |
| HARD | 51 | 510 | 500 | 100% |
| EXTREME | 53 | 530 | 522 | 100% |
Each tier has its own points, and they only buy that tier's rows. A tier's rows cost what its achievements pay, so finishing a tier buys its whole shop, and each row opens at the number of achievements whose points would have bought every row before it.
