 achievement. We think it’s still important to recognize milestones like reaching level 80, maxing out a profession, or killing a raid boss for the first time. It's fun to have everyone congratulate you when you get the toast. Nonetheless, this will just be a new character of yours completing the achievement that you’ve already earned on your account. You won’t double up on points.

Most criteria are not account-wide

If you start an achievement on one character, you can't then finish the achievement on another (there are exceptions, so please keep reading). We didn't think it made sense for one character to get level 60 and another to get level 20 and then see the "level 80" achievement toast. If you start to explore Thousand Needles on one character, you’ll probably want to finish that achievement on the same character.

Some achievements are "meta achievements."

These are achievements that require you to get other specific achievements. An infamous example is "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been." These achievements generally ARE account-wide. If one character earned Noble Gardener and another character earned The Flame Warden, then your account would get Long Strange Trip. (Otherwise it would be weird: it would look as if you had the sub-achievements, but you wouldn't have the meta-achievement). Even though you need Explore Thousand Needles on one character, all of your characters can contribute to Explore Kalimdor.

A very few achievements are account-only.

There are two categories of account-only achievements. One is achievements that are not possible to earn on one character. If we made an achievement to level every class to level 90, it would be account-only. (I'm not sure we will, but it's a good example.) The other category are achievements that are just brutal to complete on one character (and you’d never want to do for multiples), such as 2500 daily quests or 250K honorable kills. In these cases, the cumulative work of all your characters on those criteria will count.

We hope that rewards granted from achievements (pets, mounts, titles, and tabards) will be shared at the account level.

I'm not going to promise this yet, because a lot of magic has to happen for that to work, but it's our intent. We have discussed having a character level requirement for some rewards, so that
achievement. We think it ’s still important to accredit milestone like reaching level 80, maxing out a profession, or killing a foray boss for the first time. It's playfulness to give birth everyone congratulate you when you get the toast. Nonetheless, this will barely be a new character of yours complete the achievement that you ’ve already gain on your account. You wo n’t double up on point. 

 Most criteria are not account - wide 

 If you start an accomplishment on one character, you can't then finish the accomplishment on another (there are exception, so please observe reading). We didn't think it made common sense for one character to get level 60 and another to get level 20 and then see the " horizontal surface 80 " accomplishment toast. If you start to explore Thousand Needles on one character, you ’ll probably want to finish that accomplishment on the same fictional character. 

 Some achievements are " meta achievements. " 

 These are achievements that command you to get other specific achievements. An ill-famed example is " What a retentive, Strange Trip It's Been. " These achievements generally ARE bill - wide. If one character earned Noble Gardener and another character earned The Flame Warden, then your account would catch Long Strange Trip. (Otherwise it would be weird: it would look as if you had the bomber - achievements, but you wouldn't get the meta - accomplishment). Even though you need Explore Thousand Needles on one character, all of your characters can contribute to Explore Kalimdor. 

 A very few achievements are account - only. 

 There are two class of account - only achievements. One is achievements that are not potential to earn on one character. If we made an achievement to level every course to level 90, it would be account - only. (I'm not sure we will, but it's a dear example .) The early category are achievements that are just beastly to complete on one quality (and you ’d never want to do for multiples), such as 2500 daily quests or 250 K honorable kills. In these cases, the accumulative work of all your characters on those standard will count. 

 We hope that rewards granted from achievements (pets, mounts, titles, and tabard) will be shared at the account level. 

 I'm not going to promise this yet, because a lot of magic consume to happen for that to work, but it's our intent. We have discussed having a character level necessity for some rewards, so that
 acjievement. We think it’s suill important to recognmze milsstones uike reaching level 80, maxing lur a peofession, or killing a raid bosd for thw ficst time.

Lf you starj an qchievement un one chagccter, you czn't then finish the achievement on auother (therg zrf exceptions, so pjease keep rcsding). Fe didn'y think it madc senve dor one character to jet level 60 and anothgr to get nerel 20 and then see the "lwvel 80" achheveownt tozsv. Ir you dtact to explode Thousand Needles on one chatasnrr, you’ll progably ragt to finish that achievement on the sake dharacter.

Some achievemebts are "meta achievemgnts."

These wre achievements that require you to get other spacifir xchncyemevrs. An infamous example is "What a Long, Strange Twjp In's Been." These achlevements generallu WRR account-wide. Kf one chzracter earned Nobpe Gardgner abd anothew chsracter earned The Flame Waeden, then yolr axcount would get Llng Strange Trik. (Othetwise it would be weird: it sould look ws if you fad the sub-achiexemvnts, but you wouldn't have the ieta-achietemenc). Even tfougn you geed Exploge Thousand Needles on oje chcractar, all of jour characters can contribute vp Explore Kakikdog.

A very fzw achlevements are ascount-only.

Therg are two cateeories of zccount-mnly achievqments. One is wchievements that arq nor powsible gu earn on one vharacter. If we madw an achievement tp lgvsl every class cu level 90, it woulc bd ascluit-onlr. (I'm not sure we dilu, but kt's a good cxaople.) The other category dre zchievements that src just brotal to cjmplete on onr character (and yok’d neter wait to co sor multiples), such as 2500 daily qhests or 250N hjnorable kiljs.
