Considering how sparse online is now, you will likely have to find someone to cheese the online achievements with.

These are other achievements closely associated with RPG Mode.


What Am I?
Get a Vyrn weapon in RPG mode

Each character has a unique Vyrn weapon skin obtainable through Bonus Missions. Just get one for this achievement. You will very likely get one as you progress. More info can be found here.




Luminiera's Blade
Get a Luminiera Blade Omega in RPG mode.

There are 2 ways to acquire "Luminiera Sword Omega", AKA Luminiera Blade Omega. The first is to gacha and draw weapons using weapon tickets, but the rates are abysmally low. I have spent thousands of tickets and have never seen it appear once.

The second way is to progress through Hard Mode until you are once again at the final area Pandemonium. Clear "Sky Realm Adventurer" on Hard Mode for Gran Medals, which can be used to forge "Luminiera Sword Omega" in Siero's Shop.




Skyfarer's Challenge

Upon clearing Chapter 3, you will unlock the Tower of Babyl in the main menu of RPG Mode. Enter this Game Mode and view the opening to unlock this achievement.

If you haven't already automatically gotten this from progressing through RPG Mode, you can farm the Free Quest "Shiny Slime Search!" in Albion Citadel (Hard Mode).


That's Thirty
Perform 30 draws

You will unlock the Draw feature after completing Chapter 2. Draw 30 times to get this achievement.


Veteran of the Marketplace
Spend a total of 100,000 rupies

I will advise spending your rupies early on for a solid weapon grid. Here's an example.

The SR Weapons shown below can all be bought from Siero's Shop. Don't worry about wasting resources to max your level / uncap / skills, as these resources are easily obtainable later on.




Storyteller
Watch an RPG mode cutscene in Gallery mode

Under the "Story" tab in Gallery mode, view any cutscene for this achievement.




Granblue Know-It-All
Unlock all entries in the glossary's Characters and Terms section

The Glossary can be found under "Journal" in the Main Menu. You will have to complete the entirety of Normal Mode with the Free Quests to unlock all required entries. However, as of Ver 2.85, the “Granblue Know-It-All” achievement no longer requires DLC characters. Therefore, clearing the DLC Free Quests is no longer necessary for unlocking this achievement.

You do not have to read the entry. You only need to view the Glossary and if they have everything required already unlocked, the achievement will pop up automatically.

Considering how sparse online players are, you will likely need a friend to queue with. The system will pair both of you up in a ranked match and you can rematch once more afterward to complete your "Initial Ranking Matches".


Now the Real Fight Begins!
Complete the tutorial matches

In the Online Menu, you will have to complete your "Initial Ranking Matches" first before you can access Online Features. The first 5 matches are against a CPU, and the last 2 require matching up against other online players. You will be awarded this achievement regardless of the results.


Hot Enough for You?
Win an online match

If you haven't won any online battles in your "Initial Ranking Matches", you can enter an online lobby and have a friend help out there. Sit in front of the Arcade Consoles to initiate a match.

You can save a replay during the results screen at the end of an Online Match with X (controller).

Press L3 again to start recording. Press L3 once more to stop recording. Finally press R3 once to playback your recording to get this trophy.
