Hey everyone, I am a returning player that created a new account to test the new player experience. While I found it much improve compared to when I played last, I noticed I was trying to complete a lot of Daily and Heroic Achievements using the sample BGs. This thread will be a list of all of the Achievements and which of the free BGs can fulfill their requirements. Hopefully this will help players more efficiently get gold so they can get their own runes a little bit faster. PvP Victory and Training Day will not be on this list since they can be accomplished with any of these battlegroups. Battlegroups with an Asterisk next to them can be earned by completing the respective faction walkthrough. As I am still getting used to all of the achievements and doubt I have seen them all please let me know if I missed any and what the requirements are. I will update this thread as I learn and hear of more achievements. Use Ctrl+F to quickly find the achievement you are looking to complete! DAILY ACHIEVEMENTS Forglar Day - Win two games with a full Forglar Swamp Battlegroup Spoiler Defenders of the Swamp Psychic Poison Coalition of Forglar (*) Forsaken Day - Win two games with a Full Forsaken Wastes Battlegroup Spoiler Dead Meat Toil and Trouble (*) The Chopping Block Ironfist Day - Win two games with a full Ironfist Stronghold Battlegroup Spoiler Drunken Dwarves The Stoneborn Ironfist Inquisition (*) K'thir Day - Win two games with a full K'thir Forest battlegroup Spoiler Garu Mastery The Unseen Dawn of K'thir (*) Savage Day - Win two games with a full Savage Tundra battlegroup Spoiler Winter's Grip (*) The Abominable Snow Pack Shattered Day - Win two games with a full Shattered Peaks battlegroup Spoiler Sky Empire (*) Moga Pile King of Ooze Sundered Day - Win two games with a full Sundered Lands battlegroup Spoiler Dragon Storm (*) The Skeezick Menace Scale and Claw Underdepths Day - Win two games with a full Underdepths battlegroup Spoiler The Demon Prince Rise of the Minotaurs Fires of Sheoul (*) Play a Hero - Play two games with a hero (or split hero) Spoiler Coalition of Forglar (*) Dawn of K'thir (*) Dead Meat Defenders of the Swamp Dragon Storm (*) Garu Mastery Ironfist Inquisition (*) Moga Pile Sky Empire (*) Snow Pack The Demon Prince Play a Warrior - Play two games with a warrior in your battlegroup Spoiler Coalition of Forglar (*) Dawn of K'thir (*) Dead Meat Defenders of the Swamp Dragon Storm (*) Drunken Dwarves Garu Mastery Ironfist Inquisition (*) King of the Ooze Moga Pile Psychic Poison Rise of the Minotaurs Sky Empire (*) Snow Pack The Abominable The Chopping Block The Demon Prince The Skeezick Menace The Stoneborn Toil and Trouble (*) Play a Wizard - Play two games with a wizard in your battlegroup Spoiler Coalition of Forglar (*) Dawn of K'thir (*) Dead Meat Fires of Sheoul (*) Ironfist Inquisition (*) King of the Ooze Moga Pile Psychic Poison Rise of the Minotaurs Sky Empire (*) The Abominable The Chopping Block The Skeezick Menace The Unseen Toil and Trouble (*) Shaman - Play two games with a Shaman in your battlegroup Spoiler Coalition of Forglar (*) Dawn of K'thir (*) Dead Meat Defenders of the Swamp Garu Mastery Moga Pile Psychic Poison Scale and Claw Sky Empire (*) Snow Pack The Abominable The Skeezick Menace The Unseen Winter's Grip (*) Magic Caster - Play two games with a unit that has Attack: Magical Spoiler Coalition of Forglar (*) Dawn of K'thir (*) Dead Meat Defenders of the Swamp Dragon Storm (*) Drunken Dwarves Fires of Sheoul (*) Garu Mastery Ironfist Inquisition (*) King of the Ooze Moga Pile Psychic Poison Rise of the Minotaurs Scale and Claw Sky Empire (*) Snow Pack The Abominable The Chopping Block The Demon Prince The Skeezick Menace The Stoneborn The Unseen Toil and Trouble (*) Winter's Grip (*) Paladin - Play two games with a Paladin in your battlegroup Spoiler Defenders of the Swamp Ironfist Inquisition (*) Highlander - Play two games using a battlegroup with no duplicate runes Spoiler Unfortunately none of the starting battlegroups fulfill this requirement.

As I said, this is just a start and something I will continuously be working on and hope to completely finish by Wednesday. (Greens - If you see this and have a full list of both daily and heroic achievements possible, PLEASE send them to me. It would be hugely helpful and allow me to expedite this process).

It has to be updated regularly to be stickied. I'll ask Kuthillick if I see him ingame if he had time for this. He is in the same guild as me.
@Burcho is correct that the stickied threads need to be kept up to date. With that said this is the only thread that appears to be comprehensive on the subject of the Heroic Achievements, so I have stuck this one for the time being.
If anyone is up to the task, I would recommend an addition made that lists champs that have the necessary abilities by default. I know when I had the Battlefield Strategy achievement, I was unable to find champs that didn't need to be leveled before I could earn the achievement.
Hey, new player here. OP is right, I'm constantly trying to complete the daily and heroic achievements through just the sample BG provided. Since the first post the incomplete (not to mention out of date, some info is wrong) I've created my own to see which BGs can be used to complete achievements. The way I did it was to have note down all the runes and abilities that they have, then allow people to search through all of them and note the number of occurrences of a specific word in each BG. You can then choose the BG with the required amount of occurrences to use in the daily. Note that I did this by checking the public decks page at https://www.poxnora.com/info/publicdecks.do so some information might be wrong if that page is wrong or if I typed it in wrongly. Spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1azoFgEiLkH-LElCI4nxg_U5MNHjW6smu_CitNtaq55Q/edit?usp=sharing Downloadable version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1q4yyyuo97Zd2ItSlBXVDZQdjg/view To use, enter in what you want to search for in cell B2 (It's the only editable cell in the Google drive spreadsheet). For example, type in something like Paladin, Brute, Resistance, Deflect, Dodge, Nova, Evasive, Damage Shield to find all them in the BGs. The numbers will show the number of occurrences. Take note that numbers may be incorrect. For example, typing "Block" will identify the Paladin Commander in Ironfist Inquisition as having an ability to block, but he actually has Command: Block, not Block. Despite that, most searches should return 100% accuracy and those that don't should at least help you expedite the process. Devs - I can't believe there isn't a search function in this game, especially for one in which achievements need you to search for runes with specific abilities. This is really off-putting. It would be ok if at least the community resources are available to do such a search but there isn't one up to date. Now if I want to find a specific rune to put into my BG but only really know it's name my best hope of identifying it (without flipping through pages) is to go to poxbase, search for it, find out which expansion it is from, then narrow down by that expansion in the rune manager. That's ridiculous.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! For anyone looking for the current ones. Don't Stand So Close Deploy 4 or more champions with an Aura ability Dragon Storm Contains 5: 1x Valdac: Cleansing Aura 2x Varu Howler: Sonic Aura 2x Skywing Rumbler: Electricity Aura King of the Ooze Contains 6: 2x Oozing Slag: Acidic Aura 2x Auroral Slag: Restraining Aura 2x Hanging Slag: Acidic Aura Blasting Fuse Deploy 2 or more champions with a Blast ability Unfortunately if 'Psychic Poison' or 'Moga Pile' are not avilable the only real way is to use 'The Skeezick Menace' or 'King of the Ooze' and have the one guy with blast die once to summon it twice or spend gold on 'Psychic Poison". You can also craft a few Skeezick Wylder and use those with a custom battle group. Psychic Poison Contains 3: x2 Firk Spellblaster: Reckless Blast x1 Firk Savant: Magic Blast King of the Ooze Contains 1: x1 Metallic Slag: Magic Blast The Skeezick Menace Contains 1: x1 Skeezick Warmage: Blast Punishment Deploy 2 or more champions with a Nova ability Dawn of K'thir Contains 2: x2 Elven Mage: Magic Nova Scale and Claw Contains 2: x2 Steelspine Bearcat: Spine Nova Shamanistic Rites: Deploy at least 4 Shamans Winters Grip Contains 7: x2 Ice Caster x2 Jakei Shaman x2 Lonx Adept x1 Crystal Phoenix Snow Pack Contains 5: x2 Lonx Adept x2 Lonx Channeler x1 Lonx Luminary Priestly Parade: Deploy at least 4 Priests Ironfist Inquisition Contains 5: x2 Northern Cross Priestess x2 Ivory Wing x1 Priest of Valdac The Demon Prince Contains 3: x2 Deep Elf Priestess x1 Deep Elf Ritualist Healing Powers: Deploy 2 or more champions with a Heal ability Ironfirst Inquisition Contains 7: x2 Vengeant Templar x2 Northern Cross Priestess x2 Ivory Wing x1 Priest of Valdac Self Mending: Deploy 2 or more champions with a Regeneration ability Dragon Storm Contains 5: x2 Mauler x1 Vexian Neodrak x1 Valdac x1 Vindrax The Skeezick Menace Contains 7: x2 Resilient Skeezick x2 Half Skeezick x2 Skeezick Cannoneer x1 Skeezick Rioter
Glad it helped Unfortunately AFAIK the achievements are not global but player specific, so others will have different achievements to do. For example, my current rotation is: Prove Yourself - Play a deck with 4 champions with an ability containing Ally Reverence - Deploy 1 champion with Revere The Loyalists - Deploy 2 champions with Loyalty or Regal Presence Unpronounceable - Deploy 1 champion with Distichous General tip - after some time in the game I recommend trading away an exotic in a faction you probably won't be playing to poxbox - I did this after buying 3 extended set boxes - and then every 2 weeks trade in runes that fit the heroic criteria, building a circus deck to farm against the skirmish match. Makes things a lot easier and faster. You can find these runes with https://s-qpoxdb.rhcloud.com/ (as suggested by Burcho) and then filter by common rarity. Of course you can (and should, IMO) check the rune list for any rune you own already.
Yup, it is, unfortunately. My current daily achievements are: Priest - 2 games with a priest in BG Swamp Day - win 2 games with a full Forglar Swamp BG
For the these Heroic Quests I would recommend using Savage Tundra units to complete all of them at once . I will only list units that have the required skills as their defaults. The fastest way is to create a custom bot game vs a faction like Folgar Swamp in the first K'thir Hill map, since they have very few flying units they will constantly try to deploy on the chasm next to their base to capture the nora globe from the free starting unit allowing you to rush them down. You must take 4 minutes or more to win or the game will not count towards the quests. If the AI summons a large unit like Moog or a Hippo on the chasm early you can just concede and restart. Do avoid going for the fonts early since it can cause the AI to deploy outside of the chasm. You can use the Obelisk of Foresight relic to reveal extra runes once you have map control and just need to summon specific units. Summon 2 Champions with Amplify: X Arcadon - 8 Shards Yeti Spirit - 16 Shards Lonx Adept - 80 Shards Jakei Shaman - 40 Shards Summon 4 Champions with Resistance: X Crystal Guardian - 8 Shards Crystal Slag - 8 Shards Dwarven Mountaineer - 8 Shards Hoarfrost Dragon - 8 Shards Ice Golem - 8 Shards Sentinel of Ailur - 8 Shards Summon 4 Champions with Attack Fire/Frost: Arcadon - 8 Shards Chilling Scale - 80 Shards Hoarfrost Dragon - 8 Shards Ice Wurm - 4 Shards Nohkan Apprentice - 8 Shards Summon 2 Champions with a Nova ability: Crystalis - 8 Shards Freeze Bug - 8 Shards Ice Golem - 8 Shards Yeti Spirit - 16 Shards 20+ games later you get so much gold the game can't even show it right. Spoiler This took me from to Spoiler
Quests: Spoiler For these quests I would recommend the following runes: The Mandate: Ambling Frond: 4 Shards Moga Aviator: 16 Shards Elder Bloodbinder: 80 Shards Stitched Monolith: 80 Shards Aspect of Chaos: 800 Shards (Also available in the "Thunderstruck" deck) Avatar of the Fallen: 800 Shards (Also Obtained from the Sundered Lands tutorial deck "The Skeezick Menace") Ignorance is Bliss: Dwarven Beermaiden: 8 Shards Elven Bureaucrat: 8 Shards You can create a split deck using K'thir Forest and Shattered Peaks to complete these at the same time by using x2 Ambling Frond, x2 Moga Aviator for the mandate and x2 Elven Bureaucrat for ignorance is bliss. Remember that you must have exactly 15 runes from each faction for your deck to be valid. You can also use other demi-gods you have from other factions like Maxxarek or Akakios, since even though they are "hero" units and would die instantly the quest only requires you to have them in the deck. Demi-Gods Training For the training quest I am not sure what counts as a "training" game so if anyone knows please let me know. I have tried the missions under the "training" section, custom games against the AI and "Solo Play" games, but no progress has been made towards the quest. Demi-Gods Tribute This one requires you to get into actual pvp. You don't actually need to win, but the quickest way into a competitive deck I can recommend is using the "Dragon Storm" deck. With very minor changes you can create a skywing deck similar to the one Leviathan (top 25 ranked player) played recently.
