Prestige and Achievements

==Prestige==
Prestige hats are an optional series of icons which players can earn. The first prestige system was added with a patch on May 16, 2021. However, after two iterations of the system, the current system was implemented with a patch on October 9, 2022.
The current prestige system is based off of the prestige system of Arcanists 1. In order to make prestige progress, players must play games to earn wands, which they can use to unlock spellbooks and spells. You may use 5 wands to unlock spellbooks, 2 wands to unlock level 2 spells within a book, and 3 wands to unlock level 3 spells within a book.
Initially, every player starts out with only the Book of Arcane and level 1 & 2 spells from the Book of Flame. From prestige levels 0-1, players can earn wands by playing unrated or rated games. From prestige 2 and onwards, prestige progress can only be made through playing rated games. All spellbooks are theoretically unlockable through only playing unrated games, assuming the player does not opt-in to the prestige system past the first hat.
At 0 prestige, you can unlock the books: Book of Stone, Book of Storm, Book of Frost, Book of Underdark, Book of Overlight, Book of Nature, and Book of Seas.
At 1+ prestige, you can also unlock: Book of Seasons, Book of Illusion, Book of Blood, Book of Wilds, Book of Cosmos.
Once the player has enough wands to unlock every available spell and spellbook, the player can hit the "prestige" button, which grants them a prestige hat. Doing so will re-lock all but the Arcane and Flame spellbooks, but will also give you access to the Book of Cogs. Afterwards, you must then gain enough wands to unlock all the spellbooks again.
Within rated games, the amount of wands the player gains in every game may be reduced if their rating drops below a certain threshold, with this threshold being dependent on the player's current prestige level. If the player ends up in a situation where they are struggling to earn enough wands to obtain spells, the option to revert back to the previous prestige level by downgrading their prestige hat is possible, and doing so will grant the player all spells that they previously earned.
Gaining the first five prestige hats will unlock the Lord of Wands achievement. Gaining all ten prestige hats takes time and persistence but is a huge milestone, and gives you the Wand Hoarder achievement. Games played with the Random Spells mode enabled do not give players any wands.

==Achievements==
Achievements are given for completing certain challenges in Arcanists 2, and they were added alongside Prestige on May 16, 2021. Achievements award Orb Points, some of which are needed for the Prestige requirements. While some achievements are very easy to get, others are very difficult and could take several weeks to execute as one waits for the right circumstances to occur within the game.
Note: All players must complete a minimum of 2 turns for achievement progress to be counted except for the following achievements: Enchanter, Apprentice, Acolyte, Mage, High Mage, Arch Mage, Winning Streak, Winning Storm, Trainee Team Leader, Master Team Leader, Diplomat, Master Diplomat, Master of Arcanists, Panoramic View, Master of Familiars, Mark of Fame.
