Growing your skills
TipsSkills like fishing and mining rise as you perform those actions repeatedly. Each skill has its own level, and reaching Level 50 and then Level 100 in any single skill marks the two biggest personal milestones in the game.
- Level 50 is the first major checkpoint — reaching it in any skill unlocks a badge.
- Level 100 is the next target after that; you do not need a different skill, just keep going with the same one.
NPC storylines and how they unlock

- Storyline 13 completed with any NPC earns A Legendary Encounter badge.
