Achievements and Collections

Contract: finite mastery and exploration records with no daily tasks, random-only requirements, power rewards, online dependency, or compulsory full-catalog grind. Stable IDs: 48 achievements (ACV-001..ACV-048) and 20 collections (COL-001..COL-020).

Reward and Tracking Contract

• Achievement and collection rewards are presentation-only: guild-hall props, profile titles, portrait frames, UI palettes, music stems, bestiary sketches, and replay annotations. They never grant combat stats, currency, shop odds, routes, professions, or ending access.
• Progress is difficulty-independent unless a condition explicitly says Second Weave; pausing, reduced speed, assistive input, high-contrast cues, screen reader mode, and retry/recovery settings never invalidate progress.
• Every exploration record has chapter-select cleanup after the ending. Every encounter-specific achievement can be retried from a mastered bestiary simulation with no resource cost.
• Counters record the meaningful event, not repetitive volume. There are no “defeat 1,000,” login streak, real-time wait, no-damage campaign, speedrun, or collect-all-320 requirements.
• Secret achievements are forbidden. Locked rows show their exact condition and all referenced IDs.

Anti-Grind and Cross-Reference Audit

Check	Result
Achievement IDs	ACV-001..ACV-048, contiguous; 8 boss learning, 12 base, 12 advanced-pair, 8 exploration, and 8 package/postgame records.
Collection IDs	COL-001..COL-020, contiguous; 8 regional, 6 profession, 4 enemy-tier, 1 item-behavior, and 1 relationship collection.
Mandatory grind	None: the largest combat collection requires eight chosen events; no full item, full character, kill-volume, daily, or random-drop requirement.
Power pressure	None: all rewards are cosmetic, archival, music, UI, pose, or replay presentation.
Missability	None: chapter select, bestiary simulation, cleanup nodes, and retroactive event logs preserve access.
Accessibility	Assistive settings never invalidate a record; critical conditions use text/icons and do not require sound, color discrimination, speed, or no-pause play.
