I haven't!
Just got nurturers badge from watering a flutter mush ring.
yay i just got my artisan's badge this morning from collecting my ornate beam & block. i've made plenty of beams, blocks, etc. now i need to really focus on getting that nurturer's badge since a lot of people have got that one already. chopping down trees will hopefully give me lots of sap so i can also focus on the brewer's badge. 6/10
OK, from what I've read in this thread so far, I can now create some new explanations for getting each badge. They may be extremely useful, or they may be be useless, because, as many people have mentioned, the badges are random.
Nurturer's Badge-Most people got t from chopping trees, some people got from harvesting strawberries
Explorer's Badge-Comes from expanding (new expansion ONLY)
Artisan's Badge-aileeniweeni got it from collecting Ornate materials along with plenty of other beams, blocks etc.
Chef's Badge-Someone got it from cooking lots of Hearty feasts, I believe
Slayer's Badge-Most people got it from defeating monsters, mostly Glimmer trolls
Brewer's Badge-Some people got it by crafting Architect's Paste
Trader's Badge-From Golden Trade or Rare Fruit Trade
Adventurer's Badge-From Traverse the Desert Sands
Miner's Badge-People have got it from Deep Mines and Sparkling Mines
No info in Farmer's Badge
Also, I'm level 17, haven't expanded to Thurston yet, just two more expansions to the southeast left.
Hope I get there before level 20, but first I need RP!
I got the explorers badge, but not directly from the new spot. I went directly there and expanded, but the actual badge came later, from another expansion.
I also think these badges are random drops from their category. I only have two, and am chopping, harvesting, watering etc as much as my energy will allow. This goal means little to me, similar to the alicore. Wish we could trade items, I am maxed on many items that others need!
Time to clear this up before anyone gets confused:
Nurturer: Mushrooms, Fruit trees, Chopping trees, Flowers
Explorer: Randomly designated 'chunk', for old players the only choice is the new area
Artisan: High level workshop beams/blocks
Chef: High level kitchen feasts
Slayer: Any monster
Brewer: High level potions/glues
Trader: Not enough info, perhaps any trade
Adventurer: Not enough info, perhaps any adventure
Miner: Sparkling mines/Deep mines
Farmer: Not enough info, perhaps any crop
Hey all,
so far I've got 3 badges. Explorer's Badge was just the expansion. Easy. Two nights ago Thurston awarded me the Nurturer's badge. I was watering trees, collecting mushrooms, and chopping down trees. The next morning I got the Trial of the Miner badge after collecting from the sparkling mines and the troll pit mine (right before collecting from the deep mines). Totally random.
