655 PelicanHazard Members 2,632 posts 10,276 battles Report post #1 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! I don't know about you, but for me this has been one fun adventure, going from knowing nothing besides the names and icons to where we are now. Between the great effort of everyone, not just in NA but across other servers, we've managed to put together requirements for every one of the ten event achievements in just about a day and a half, summarized in the table below. Achievement Requirement Possible Alternative Reward King of the Party Get the other 9 event achievements Possibly bugged and shows up earlier for some players for unknown reasons 5000 Free XP Life and Soul of the Party Get an in-battle compliment (compliments awarded from the post-battle screen don't count) - 25x Juliet Charle flags Festive Soup Get 10 ship torpedo hits over any number of battles Get 10 torpedo hits from any class, carriers included 25x Juliet Whiskey Unaone flags Fire Show Score 100 main battery hits over any number of battles - 25x India X-ray flags Run! Admiral! Run! Playing as a carrier, score 4 torpedo hits over any number of battles Works on 5 hits for some. Bombs also seem to count. 25x Victor Lima flags Queue Jumper Enter your first battle post-0.5.11 update - 10x Type 5 camouflage Rise of the Machines In Co-Op battles, sink 5 bots over any number of battles - 25x Zulu flags Big Roll Earn 1 million credits over any number of battles - 1 million credits A Shot in the Dark Shoot down 15 airplanes over any number of battles Hit an unspotted enemy 25x November Echo Setteseven flags Manners Maketh Man Complete 10 consecutive battles without inflicting any team damage - 25x Zulu Hotel flags Special thanks to GG_Bootcamp for putting together a guide to achieving all 10 in a quick manner. You can find the guide here. It's worth noting that while we have reliable requirements that are guaranteed to win you the achievement, there's some evidence that some achievements have at least two ways to get them, and achieving either requirement nets you the award. There's also still a big mystery surrounding how to get King of the Party without needing to get the other 9 first, but be assured that it is possible to get it by grabbing the others even if we don't fully understand how to get it otherwise. I'll keep updating this post if new information for requirements comes to light (especially that pesky King!), but at the very least we now have a reliable way to get all 10, and hopefully turn them gold before the birthday celebrations kick off next weekend to see what these "special prizes" are. The original post starts below As you might have found out, the patch brought special achievements to celebrate WoWS' birthday. http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/b-day-coming/ But the trick is that WG won't say what triggers them, and we have to discover for ourselves. Each one awards in-game items, and making the achievements turn gold will apparently award special prizes. This thread is meant to compile what we know about the achievements and see if we can figure out all of them. You can track how many have been awarded server-wide from the main page. The achievements are: King of the Party - Solved! Rarest achievement Someone got it in Co-op for what would have awarded a Kraken in Random while leading a division It can be awarded before completing all the others Varied end conditions: Awarded concurrent with Shot in the Dark Not for topping the leaderboard or division Perhaps it awards once you collect the other 9 if you don't trigger it earlier as a failsafe? Getting it early in a match suggests its cumulative something Apparently could be bugged and it is meant to be earned after all 9? Requirement: Awarded after the other 9 event achievements are awarded Alternative: Seems bugged, and appears for some before they get all 9. Reward: 5000 FreeXP Life and Soul of the Party - Solved! Get complimented? Strong evidence anyone who is complimented by ally or friendly gets this Requirement: Get a compliment in-battle Reward: 25x Juliet Charlie flags (-100% detonation chance) Festive Soup - Solved! Icon shows torpedoes passing each other Earned after sinking multiple ships with torpedoes Earned on the 3rd kill/10th or 11th torp hit Either flooding or torp hits Possibly due to flooding damage and not torp hits Awarded on 5th torpedo hit Possibly cumulative? Awarded on first torp hit in second battle Evidence for 10 torp hits over any number of battles Another player with 10 torp hits to achievement Requirement: Get 10 ship torpedo hits over any number of games Reward: 25x Juliet Whiskey Unaone flags (increases chance of flooding, increases chance of own detonation) Fire Show - Solved! Earned spamming HE in Aurora - possibly misleading, see 3rd example Earned spamming HE in Yuubari - possibly misleading, see 3rd example Earned as soon as a fire is set on your own ship - see 5th example. Incapacitation also happened 2nd case of earning when set on fire Got it on an incapacitaion HE citadel on CV earned it Maybe lower requirement? Requirement: Score 100 main battery hits over any number of games Reward: 25x India X-ray flags (+1% fire chance for guns over 160mm/+0.5% fire chance for guns under 160mm/+5% detonation chance) Run! Admiral! Run! - Solved! What we know: Earned after hitting the last enemy ship Earned after disabling an enemy engine Earned after hitting but not sinking a ship for a base defense Maybe it's literal and just covering a certain distance will do I got it after two aerial torpedo hits, the second one on the stern of a ship Bot got it on a divebomb Theory that it is number of successful airstrikes Seems CVs have something to do with it Perhaps number of aerial torp hits? Yet another CV with torps gets it Saipan gets it when torpedo hits stern CV got it again, perhaps any airdropped ordinance works? Another CV gets it with 5 hits This CV got it with 4 hits in one match Minor adjustment: 4 torp hits Requirement: Playing carriers, get four torpedo or bomb hits over any number of gamesReward: 25x Victor Lima flags (+1% fire chance for bombs and shells >160mm/+0.5% shells <160mm/+4% own detonation chance) Queue Jumper - Solved! It can be earned in Co-op It can be earned in the first battle post-patch Most common by a long shot according to the main page, so easiest to get Requirement: Enter queue and join a battle for the first time post-patch. Reward: 10x Type 5 camo (-3% detectability/+4% enemy dispersion) Rise of the Machines - Solved! It can be earned in Co-Op Terminator reference. AI has something to do with it? Damage/kill based? 2nd example of damage based Player got it with 5 bot kills This player got it with 4 bot kills. Probably damage based then? This player got it with just damage, apparently Requirement: Sink 5 bots over any number of battles Reward: 25x Zulu flags (+20% credits) Big Roll - Solved! Icon shows ship surrounded by money Earned after earning 1 million credits Another player earned after 1 million credits Another player concurs with 1 million credits Another player with 1 million credits Requirement: Earn 1 million credits over any number of matchesReward: 1 million credits A Shot in the Dark - Solved! CV hit something and didn't know what, earned achievement Earned for shooting down planes during a cyclone Icon shows gauntleted hand emerging from clouds pointing at an airplane Awarded on the first plane kill of the day Awarded on not the first plane kill in a match Something with secondaries? No plane kills Maybe just a bunch of plane kills? Yet more evidence for 15 plane kills Report of being earned hitting an unspotted enemy Another person earned it with no plane kills. Multiple triggers? Same thing, awarded for a blind hit Requirement: Shoot down 15 airplanes over any number of games Alternate Possibility: Hit an unspotted enemy Reward: 25x November Echo Setteseven flags (+10% effectiveness to AA and aircraft rear gunners) Manners Maketh Man - Solved! Showed up for one player after the battle [like how Dreadnought and Fireproof do] Mayhap it has to do with cumulative number of incapacitations Supporting evidence for incapacitations Perhaps more specifically, engine incapacitations This one was awarded with no incapacitations Again awarded with no engine incapacitations, given after battle with no chat indicator Earned with no incapacitations Someone on EU says 10 consecutive games with no team damage awards it Player supports EU report, got it after 10 zero team damage games Someone else gets it after 10 zero team damage games Yet another player awarded after 10 games no team damage Another player after 10 team damage-free matches Requirement: Go 10 consecutive battles with zero team damage Reward: 25x Zulu Hotel flags (+50% Commander XP) Edited September 9, 2016 by PelicanHazard 133 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Festive Soup: Something with torpedoes, clearly. (Land a certain number of hits in one battle?) Big Roll: MONEYMONEYMONEY Fire Show: BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN! Run! Admiral!

111 weednot43 Beta Testers 309 posts 14,240 battles Report post #9 Posted September 7, 2016 Was in a game where our CV got Shot in the dark, he had no idea what exactly he hid though. He was the last one left riding the border enemy CV drooped torps on him, some hit and the enemy CV got Run! Admiral! Run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
255 [2GOOD] collisionSpace Members 963 posts 23,631 battles Report post #10 Posted September 7, 2016 Reposting this here: Queue Jumper - I'm guessing it's beating another player to a kill somehow as I've only played one game so far and I received it around the time I torped a Wyoming who'd been taking hits from our BBs. Festive Soup - something to do with Torpedoes? Earned after I'd sunk a third ship with them I think. Maybe to do with the number of torpedoes fired in a match.

2,361 WanderingGhost Alpha Tester 5,281 posts 12,191 battles Report post #13 Posted September 7, 2016 Wild guess on shot in the dark but seeing a plane and a cloud, as well as the hand I think it could be akin to say, hitting an enemy in a smoke screen or during a cyclone. Generally nspotted makes sense teo but those are the two I think are more likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Or sinking somebody riding the border? XD) The thing is he didn't sink him. A enemy DD did. He just got some torp hits on him and he got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

99 karmajay Members 380 posts 9,963 battles Report post #16 Posted September 7, 2016 A Shot In the Dark - either hitting domething while right clicked or maybe hitting something you can't see during a tsunami? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
655 PelicanHazard Members 2,632 posts 10,276 battles Report post #17 Posted September 7, 2016 In that case, I'm going with "hit somebody riding the border." I'm thinking it's for hitting the last enemy, but not sinking it. So far none of these achievements look to be so reliant on player behavior as to be awarded for edge riding.

83 [BANGO] Jenska Members 809 posts 26,528 battles Report post #19 Posted September 7, 2016 Festive Soup - something to do with Torpedoes? Earned after I'd sunk a third ship with them I think. Maybe to do with the number of torpedoes fired in a match. First game: I had 11 torp hits, 3 kills and just over 25K flooding. Got it on the 3rd kill, so could have been the kill or the 10/11th torp hit, cause most of the flooding was on one I didn't kill. Also got Q jumper, so.....

0 [BABS] alex1264 Members 6 posts Report post #22 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) ive earned "queue jumper" still unsure on requirements but just enter queue while another ship is in game, should get eventually "run admiral run" this is taking out an enemy steering "festive soup" either causing flooding or landing torpedo hits (i got 7 hits and 4 floodings in the game not sure which is the cause) "shot in the dark" is planes shot down in a match i believe (got 12 in the match, i may be wrong on this one) Edited September 7, 2016 by alex1264 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
285 KyourakuShunsui Beta Testers 1,180 posts 7,853 battles Report post #23 Posted September 7, 2016 I actually think the festive soup has something to do with flooding. Just based on how I got my last couple. I had a match with 4 floods and got it. But I got it after my first flood I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. These mystery achievements probably seemed like a cute idea, but will likely end up being more of a hassle to keep up with than they're worth. Especially for those who don't practically live on the forum at work like I do. Edited September 7, 2016 by DoomStomper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
