Achievements & XP
Achievements (badges) reward you for being an active, valuable member. Earn them, collect them, and show them off on your public profile.
Points and levels
- Every action that helps the community earns you experience points (XP).

Achievement tiers & XP
Each achievement belongs to a tier:

- Silver — the middle milestone
- Gold — the top milestone (largest XP reward)
Unlocking an achievement awards its XP automatically — you'll see a toast and a notification when it happens.
Where to see your achievements
- My Achievements (account menu) — every badge, with your progress toward the ones you haven't earned yet.
- Your public profile — visitors can see the badges you've earned.
Progress
Some achievements show a progress bar (e.g. "78% of the way to The Wordsmith"). Keep doing the activity — the bar fills up, and the badge unlocks at 100%.
Secret achievements (like Patron Saint) are hidden until you earn them — the surprise is part of the fun!
