05. The Value of Achievements

In most games the Achievement system is just a way to offer the player bragging rights, or in extreme cases, it is used to help give the player direction to head in in terms of what they are meant to accomplish as part of the campaign.

In Boom Beach the Achievements actually play a much bigger role, starting with having a rewards system of their own.

What that means is that unlocking an Achievement not only delivers the satisfaction of having done so and having accomplished something, it also delivers some valuable resources or other rewards as a result!

That being the case it is a very good idea to build into your game play style the habit of checking on your Achievement progress as you play - and going the extra mile as appropriate to unlock one if you are close.

Note that each Achievement has three levels to it (denoted by three stars that are filled in across the top of the listing in the Achievements Page in game) so there are many possible rewards to be looking for as you play the game.

• Chain of Command - Upgrade Headquarters - Reward = X Diamonds

• Conqueror - Destroy X number enemy bases - Reward = X Diamonds

• Harness Nature - Remove X number of Trees and Rocks - Reward = X Diamonds

• Iron Will - Seize X number of Iron - Reward = X Diamonds

• Payback - Beat LL Hammersmith - Reward = X Diamonds

• Quarry Raid - Seize X number of Stone - Reward = X Diamonds

• Reign of Terror - Destroy Dr. Terror's Bases of Mass Production - Reward = X Diamonds

• Spoils of War - Sieze X number of Gold Coins - Reward = X Diamonds

• Steamroller - Destroy a Level X Enemy w/o losing troops - Reward = X Diamonds

• Strategist - Successfully defend your HQ against X number enemy attacks - Reward = X Diamonds

• Submariner - Dive for Treasure X number of times - Reward = X Diamonds

• Timber Takeover - Seize X number of Wood - Reward = X Diamonds

• War Chest - Upgrade Gold Storage - Reward = X Diamonds

• War Hero - Obtain X number of Victory Points - Reward = X Diamonds

• War Production - Control X number Resource Bases - Reward = X Diamonds

You should get the idea from the list above that the rewards for unlocking the Achievements are a set number of Diamonds - with each level of the specific Achievement you go up, the reward gets larger but so do the requirements.

The Diamonds you obtain from unlocking Achievements combined with the Diamonds that you can find in random Treasure Chests that can be found on the map in-game are your primary source for Diamonds assuming that you do not want to pay real-world money for them, so this is an important hint and tip! Stay on top of collecting these and be sure to turn in and collect each Achievement level as soon as you can to maximize your profits!
