Achievements are a sort of mini-game tied to Blizzard games when played over [[Battle.net]] (as Diablo III must be). When players complete various tasks during the gameplay, or special extra efforts, they will earn achievements. These do not grant an in-game reward, in terms of extra items or experience, but are simply bonuses to display on one's Battle.net account.

==Achievements in Diablo III==

The most recent news came from the Blizzcon 2011 Gameplay panel[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-and-auction-house-panel], where [[Jason Bender]] said that there would be hundreds of achievements, for every sort of accomplishment. Good or bad. They'll be earned for reaching Clvl 60 with multiple hardcore characters, for dying multiple times to the same monster, and everything in between.

===Diablo III Beta Info===

Achievements are not functional in the beta, though the v5 patch in November 2011 added a new icon to the lower right corner of the screen that shows recent achievements, right beside a display of your online friends list.

=="Blizzard Level" Achievement==

The Diablo 3 Achievement system will be an account-based system tied to a player's Blizzard Account ID, the purpose of which is to track achievements of all three major games: World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. When combining all the games together, a score dubbed "Blizzard Level" is gained.
