Achievements

There are a great many things to see and do in Middle-earth on your adventures. Along with all the new features of the mod comes a new, more organized, and more stable achievement system to better record your many accomplishments. There are also shields for getting achievements; a bronze one for completing 25, a silver one for completing 50, a gold for getting 100 and a rare mithril shield for 200 gained achievements.

Upon first entering Middle-earth you will be shown an on-screen prompt to press a key (default 'L') which will bring up the Middle-earth achievement list.

On the achievement screen, achievements which have been earned are lit up, while the achievements not yet earned are darkened. The arrows at the top of the screen are used to navigate between categories (see below) and the scroll bar moves through the current category's achievements.

Features
The new achievement system differs from the vanilla system in a number of ways.


 * Storage: Achievements are stored per-world, and they never reset. Say goodbye to the annoyances of ruining your legitimate survival worlds by earning the achievements on a creative world, and of seeing the 'Taking Inventory' prompt over and over again!


 * Influence of Alignment: With alignment being such a key feature in the mod, a lot of the Middle-earth achievements depend on it. Some achievements can be earned by only good players, some only by evil players, and some are available to both sides - although they may be easier to obtain for a certain alignment. At first all achievements will be shown, but once you raise or lower your alignment you will only be able to see the achievements appropriate to that side.


 * Categories: Due to the amount of new achievements, the vanilla 'branching' display system has been thrown out in favor of a new more easily navigable category-based system. There are several categories including a 'General' category as well as a category for each major region of Middle-earth (some minor biomes are combined into one large region, such as 'Rhovanion'). Each achievement belongs to a single category.


 * Progress Display: The achievement screen also displays progress counts once you have reached either +1 or -1 alignment. At the top of the screen, your progress for all achievements in all categories is shown. Each category also has an individual progress count. These progress counts only take into account achievements your player is able to earn, not achievements from the opposite alignment side.

List of Achievements
The following is a list of all possible achievements and how to achieve them. They are organized by region, just like they are in the mod.
