Once you've gotten used to completing tasks and leveling up, you can move on to the achievement system. Achievements are basically recognition for having done something impressive. In Level Up Your Writing, achievements are earned by completing tasks in a certain way or by completing them a certain number of times. This is where you get the real practice in.
Below you will find a list of all the available achievements. Each achievement will give you a certain number of points – AP (achievement points). These are separate from the earlier mentioned XP (experience points). The two can not be added together, they are two separate things. However, by repeating tasks, you get both the XP for completing the tasks and the AP for finishing the achievement. Unlike tasks, achievements can not be repeated. You can only complete each achievement once.
Here's how this works. Choose an achievement from the list below and check your Keeping Track spreadsheet to see how much you've already done for this achievement. It is highly recommended to start with the easier achievements. Finish the rest of the achievement and then fill it in on your Keeping Track sheet on the Achievements tab. The sheet will automatically calculate how many AP you have and what rank you are. For more information on rankings, check out the next chapter.
To celebrate your milestones, we have created stickers for you to use. These milestones are: 50 AP, 100 AP, 200 AP, 300 AP, 400 AP and 500 AP. Reached one of these milestones? Private message us with a link to your Keeping Track spreadsheet and we'll send you the sticker as soon as possible!
