Spin To Upgrade achievements reward players for exploring zones, finding rare gems, and participating in plaza boss fights or seasonal events. Tier Up Studios includes nine official badges that track initial milestones and group combat encounters.
Core Progression and Discovery Badges
Three badges recognize early account milestones and map exploration:
- Welcome to Tier Up!: Unlocks automatically upon joining the game for the first time.
- Gem Discovery: Triggers as soon as you uncover your first gem while breaking ores.
- Enter the AFK zone: Granted immediately upon stepping into the dedicated AFK zone.
These achievements do not require combat gear or high-tier pickaxes, making them accessible during your initial play session.
Plaza Boss Encounter Badges
Four of the game's badges center on group battles located in the central plaza. These encounters award completion credit when you assist in taking down specific world bosses:
- Lava Tamer: Granted when you help defeat a Lava Golem at the plaza.
- Icebreaker: Granted when you help defeat an Ice Golem at the plaza.
- Storm Chaser: Granted when you help defeat an Electric Golem at the plaza.
- Jack Slayer: Granted when you help defeat Jack O'Grin at the plaza during seasonal rotations.
All four combat milestones require group collaboration in public servers, as enemies appear directly within the common plaza area.
Competitive and Event Defense Badges
The remaining two achievements involve team participation and area defense objectives:
- Race Champion: Requires winning a Red vs Blue race alongside your assigned team.
- Bowl defense: Awarded for successfully defending the bowl of candy from incoming enemy waves during the Halloween event.
Both activities rely on objective completion rather than raw mining progression, distinguishing them from standard zone milestones.
Activity Selection for Badge Completion
Different badge types align with distinct server activities across the game:
| Activity Choice | Best Matched Objective | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| Plaza Golem Encounters | Earning elemental combat badges | Help defeat a Lava Golem, Ice Golem, or Electric Golem |
| Plaza Boss Event | Earning the Jack Slayer badge | Help defeat Jack O'Grin at the plaza |
| Team Racing Track | Earning competitive team badges | Win a Red vs Blue race with your team |
| Candy Defense Arena | Earning seasonal horde badges | Successfully defend the bowl of candy from the hoard |
Monitoring plaza spawns and event timers allows you to target these specific badges while progressing through normal ore mining and pickaxe upgrades.
