Echoes of Aincrad · Trophy Guide

Gear, Crafting & Wealth

Sixteen bronzes covering Aincrad's loot economy — obtaining a variety of every weapon and armour type, dabbling in crafting, upgrading a weapon to the top, banking a million Col and looting world treasure. It's the definition of a play-naturally grind: if you loot, sell, craft and re-gear as you climb, most of this ticks over on its own.

🛡️ Don't sell everything. The "obtain a variety" trophies count distinct weapons/armour you've owned, so hang on to new drops long enough to register them before offloading duplicates for Col.

How the loot economy works

"Obtain a variety" = distinct types. Each weapon/armour category has a set number of different pieces the game wants you to have owned. Picking up a new one you haven't held before ticks the counter.
Everything feeds the databases. New gear also fills the Equipment Database (see the Database page), so loot generously.
Craft, don't just buy. Some pieces (and the crafting trophies) come only from Crafting Manuals at the smith and item shops.

Pops on your first equipment craft — the crafted piece can also count toward a "variety" trophy.

Do this early; crafted heals and buffs are handy for the boss fights too.

TypeBronze

KindUpgrade

What it asks

Take a single weapon all the way to its final upgrade tier at the smith.

How to earn it

Pick your main weapon and pour upgrade materials + Col into it each floor.
Fully upgrading one weapon also makes the Tezca Death Wielder superboss much easier — kill two birds by maxing your best blade.

Incorrigible Wealth

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Acquire 1,000,000 or more Col.

TypeBronze

Needs1,000,000 Col

What it asks

Have 1,000,000 Col (the in-game currency) in your wallet at once — you don't have to keep it, just reach the number.

How to earn it

Sell surplus loot, complete quests and farm bosses. Don't overspend right before — let your balance build toward seven figures.
If you're close, do a loot-and-sell run of duplicate gear to cross the line, then spend freely again.

Treasure Hunter

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Obtain items from numerous world treasure chests.

TypeBronze

KindTreasure chests

What it asks

Open and loot a good number of the treasure chests hidden around Aincrad's fields and dungeons.

How to earn it

Explore thoroughly — chests sit off the beaten path, in dungeons and behind optional rooms.
Opening them naturally as you clear maps (which you're doing for the floor-map trophies) racks this up.

True Colors

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Use the Costume Color Change feature.

TypeBronze

KindCosmetic

What it asks

Use the Costume Color Change feature once to recolour an outfit.

How to earn it

Open the appearance/customisation menu (or visit the relevant shop) and change any costume's colour.
A free, one-and-done trophy — do it the moment the feature unlocks.
