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.

==Diablo III Achievement Plansplans - Pre-release==
Jay Wilson spoke about Achievements from Gamescom, in August, 2010:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-indiablo.de-part-two/]
==Projected Achievements==
Very few specifics are yet released about the system, but looking at WoW and StarCraft II, which already have Achievements in them, logical ones reward actions such as:
* Achievement for defeating each [[boss]] on each difficulty.
* Killing X (1, 100, 1000, etc) of a specific [[monster]] type.
* Completing X (1, 10, 100, etc) [[quests]].
* Completing all available random quests in an [[Act]].
* Completing one specific quest within a time limit.
* Getting a [[Massacre]] bonus of 10, 20, 30, etc monsters.
* Killing a monster when you have less than 5% health left.
* Killing a monster when ally had less than 5% health left.

=="Blizzard Level" Achievement==
The Diablo 3 Achievement system will be is an account-based system tied to a player's Blizzard Account ID, the . Its purpose of which is to track achievements of within 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.
==Feats of Strength==
Feats of Strength are similar to achievements and are displayed within the same interface element. However, feats do not reward achievement points, and are usually either luck or time-based. An example of this in Diablo III is earning a feat of strength for having purchased the [[Collector's Edition]], and activating the key on a battle.net account. Another is "The Chosen One", which is a feat of strength granted to players who participated in the closed [[beta]] test.
Feats of strength do not count towards overall achievements, so if a player misses a feat, it won't display in their achievement progress percentage or count.
