Badges View


Introduction


The Badges view, accessible from the Character menu, displays all badges detected as being owned by the current character, and possibly the number of Badges that require additional input to properly detect.

Tracking Badges


Badges can be tracked in two ways: from the Chat window and from the Personal Info window.

If the user has the Rewards chat channel in any in-game chat tab, Badges can be detected as soon as they are earned by analyzing the messages sent from the game server. Tracking Badges from the System chat channel, which was used in the past by assigning the character's Badge title, is not supported because the method is deprecated in favor of the following:

Opening the Personal Info window will allow all of the character's owned badges to be detected. This window can be accessed from the main menu, by typing the /info_self slash command into the game's chat window, or by using the /info slash command while nothing is targeted.


Badges Needing /info


Some Badges cannot be reliably tracked from the Rewards channel and require the Personal Info window to properly resolve. If any such Badge titles are encountered, a message will appear in the bottom-right corner of this view to indicate to the user that the Personal Info window needs to be loaded to accurately track all of the character's badges.
