The Vanguard

How to unlock The Vanguard in Cheevos, reach Level 10 while active in a Party. Worth 50 XP.

The story

Partner. Level 10, and your Party watched it happen.

Casual browsing gets you the early levels without much ceremony. Level 10 is different. By the time you get there, the achievements have stopped being easy, the XP has stopped coming in fast, and reaching this milestone means you have genuinely been putting in the browsing, day after day, page after page.

You did it with a Party active. That is the part Cache circles in his notes. He watches the shared leaderboard update in real time, and he saw your number move past nine, hover for a moment, and land on ten while your teammates were online to see it too.

Cache keeps a log of milestone moments like this one, not because the number itself is magic, but because of who was around when it happened. A level reached alone is a private accomplishment. A level reached in front of a Party is a shared one, and Cache has decided shared accomplishments deserve their own entry.

This one is in the log now, Partner. Fifty Chips, and a small note in Cache's ledger that says: they were leading when it counted.

The catalog entry

LEVEL 10 WITH PARTY ACTIVE Acquired: Reached Level 10 as an active Party member. Condition: Elevated. Leading. Rarity: Uncommon. Cache's Notes: Level 10 is where the casual browsing becomes real history. You hit this milestone with your Party watching. They saw you climb. Cache sees the leaderboard change in real time. He keeps a log of milestone moments. This one is in it.

Spoiler: how to unlock it

This one takes sustained play, not a single lucky session.

  1. Join or start a Party and stay an active member.
  2. Keep earning XP through normal browsing, achievements, and daily activity.
  3. Reach Level 10 while your Party membership is active.

Levels in Cheevos are calculated from your total accumulated XP, with each level requiring more XP than the last. Reaching Level 10 typically takes weeks of regular use rather than a single burst of activity, and this achievement specifically checks that you crossed that threshold while belonging to an active Party, tying a personal milestone to the shared leaderboard your teammates can see update alongside you.

Where it fits in the Stash

Cache marks milestone crossings the way a museum marks a founding date, and this one gets a place of honor for happening in front of an audience. To meet the raccoon who keeps that ledger, read the story.
