Wayward Milestones Guide

Milestones in Wayward are a system of achievements that carry over from game to game. Completing a milestone in one playthrough gives you better a better start on all later playthroughs. Your skills will start at a higher % and you will have a chance at better starting items.

Each time you start a new game, a random selection of the milestones will be "invisible" (your progress in the milestone is unknown) or "hidden" (the name/description of the milestone is unknown).

If you want to know your progress on an invisible milestone, you can start a new game. Milestone progress is the same across all saves. The only milestone that needs to be done on a single save file is Grandmaster.

Your in-game milestones are always listed in the same order, so you can figure out your hidden milestones by comparing with the list below.

Abnormalizer: Kill 25 aberrant creatures.
Chef: Cooked 25 food items.
Extincteur: Killed 1000 creatures.
Crafter: Crafted 250 items.
Gardener: Planted 50 plants or mushrooms.
Gatherer: Gathered 1000 times.
Hunter: Killed 100 creatures.
Locksmith: Lock picked 10 locks.
Reaper of Souls: Killed 50 ghosts and harvested their corpses.
Survivor: Survived for 10000 turns.
Thrower: Thrown 500 items.
Trapper: Injured 10 creatures with traps.
Treasure Hunter: Dug or fished up 10 treasure chests.
Collector: Hold one of every item (275 total)
Explorer: Step on or gather from every type of tile. (35 total)
Grandmaster: Get a skill to 100%.
Prepared: Equip something in each equipment slot. (10 total, does not need to be at the same time)
Doctor: Cure each status effect. (3 total: poisoned, burned, bleeding)

(This list is current as of the 2.0.2 beta, and may change in future updates. Thanks for reading, please feel free to leave C+C.)

Does lava count for explorer and how much damage stepping on it would do?

Drathy [developer] 11 May, 2016 @ 2:46pm

Both modes.

Sionnis 11 May, 2016 @ 2:45pm

Is every item available in both modes, or is Challenge Mode required for some items and/or tiles?

Drathy [developer] 9 May, 2016 @ 7:35pm

Just wanted to chime in here that both the Collector/Explorer milestones are indeed possible. Just tested this out. Have fun

Now at 34/35. Cannot find High Rocks for the life of me, even after extensive digging/mapping through rocks above ground and below ground.
However I realized that "Gathering" from a tile means walking into it, and not using your hotkeyed pickaxe to mine it. This is why I had missed Sandstone with Iron before, despite having mined those tiles a bunch of times.

This would put the list of 35 at:
Grass, Dirt, Gravel, Sand, Clay, Peat, Snow, Ash (8)
Tree, Tree Vines, Tree Berries, Tree Fungus, Bare Trees (5)
Palm Trees, Palm with Coconuts, Bare Palm Trees (3)
High Rocks, Rocks, (+ Rocks With) Limestone, Iron, Coal, Talc (6)
Sandstone, (+ Sandstone With) Nitre, Iron (4)
Shallow Fresh Water, Shallow Sea Water, Deep Fresh Water, Deep Sea Water (4)
Cobblestone Floor, Sandstone Floor, Clay Brick Floor, Wooden Floor (4)
An Entrance (1)

This is not 100% confirmed, but I do know for a fact that the walls are not counted separately, since I got to 34/35 having never constructed any clay or wood walls. I tried just now and constructing+destroying them didn't raise my number any.

There are a total of 43 tiles listed in the documentation ( http://www.unlok.ca/wayward/documentation.html#Tiles , indexed 0-42 ) and 35 tiles for the achievement. Assuming the tile list in the documentation is complete, there are exactly 8 tiles that either don't count or are counted the same as another tile.

This is my "best guess" list of those 8:

1. Sandstone Wall
2. Stone Wall
3. Clay Wall
4. Wood Wall
5. Door
6. Darkness
7. Deep Sea Water (same as normal Sea Water)
8. Deep Fresh Water (same as normal Fresh Water)

If you check the description for Explorer, it is "step on or gather from every type of tile". You can't step on or "gather" from walls, the door, or the darkness tile. As for deep/normal/shallow water types, there doesn't seem to be any functional difference between the deep and normal water types. The shallow type is distinct because you can walk and dig in shallow water, but not use any boats.

Sionnis 4 May, 2016 @ 3:48pm

Actually it may be the case that the 4 kinds of walls do not count, but the Shallow/Deep Seawater and Shallow/Deep Freshwater do. Need someone to verify.

Sionnis 4 May, 2016 @ 3:39pm

From what I can tell, the Explorer title requires...
Grass, Dirt, Gravel, Sand, Clay, Peat, Snow, Ash (8)
Tree, Tree Vines, Tree Berries, Tree Fungus, Bare Trees (5)
Palm Trees, Palm with Coconuts, Bare Palm Trees (3)
Rocks, Limestone, Iron, Coal, Talc (5)
Sandstone, Nitre (2)
Fresh Water, Seawater (2)
Cobblestone Floor, Sandstone Floor, Clay Brick Floor, Wooden Floor (4)
Stone Wall, Sandstone Wall, Clay Brick Wall, Wooden Wall (4)

That makes 33/35.

Not sure which 2 I am missing. I don't think that Planted Berries, Blood, Cacti, Corpses, Cotton, Flowers, Tall Grass, Thistle, Wild Onions, Vines off of Trees, or Piles of Rock count towards this. Built items do not count towards this either it appears. Basically anything where you right click and it tells you what it is as well as what is beneath it. Nor (I think) do different levels of water (Deep & Shallow) count as different tiles.

Can anyone verify?

zyzz [author] 3 May, 2016 @ 8:10am

I'm at 34/35 for Explorer, I'm pretty sure the one I'm missing is the snow tile. The only tiles I had to go out of my way to step on were some of the floor tiles and the ash tiles that get created when you burn grass.

Nowhere near you for Collector! I assume Raw Trout and Cooked Trout are the items that are actually called Raw Carp and Cooked Carp in the game (since the documentation is missing those). I suspect each combination of container and liquid type might be counted as a different item, if you haven't tried that yet.
