Accolades - Achievement System for WoW Classic & TBC
This is a complex task across so many routes, zones, quests, and types and the WOW Add on interface makes it more challenging , please be patient and submit issues if you find them and we will work on quick remediations. We don't claim this 100% Accurate or Perfect, but we need the communities help in finding / testing the hundreds of achievements. Also submit any new achievements you would like to see!
Description
Accolades brings a comprehensive achievement system to WoW Classic Era and TBC Anniversary - clients that shipped without one. Track your questing progress, exploration, dungeon clears, raid kills, PvP milestones, profession mastery, reputation grinds, and more with a full achievement framework built from scratch.
Unique feature: "Self Proclaimed" achievements - for things the addon can't verify retroactively (boss kills before install, old exploration, etc.), you can manually claim credit. These count toward progress and points but are visually flagged with silver borders and a "(Self Proclaimed)" tag so you know which ones were earned live vs. claimed after the fact.

How Self Proclaimed Works
Many achievements in Classic can't be verified after the fact:
- Exploration: The game doesn't let addons check which sub-areas you've previously discovered
- Dungeons/Raids: No way to know which bosses you killed before the addon was installed
- World Events: Seasonal events are time-limited
- PvP Ranks: Historical rank data isn't available
For these, Accolades lets you "self-proclaim" the achievement. This means you're saying "I did this" and taking credit. Self-proclaimed achievements:
- Are visually distinct (silver border instead of gold, "(Self Proclaimed)" tag)
- Count toward point totals and meta achievement progress
- Cannot be "un-proclaimed" - use
/acc reset to clear everything
Achievements that CAN be verified automatically (quest completion, character level, profession skills, reputation standings) are tracked live and credited on login. These cannot be self-proclaimed.
