[p]Mob Tab Achievements
All mobs in the core progression maps now have a Mob Tab Achievement! You might be asking yourself "what's a Mob Tab Achievement and how do I unlock them?". To unlock these achievements you'll need to collect all the drops that a mob has to offer! Once you've collected all of them you'll receive your achievement! Some of these achievements will be completed with ease while others may require lots of time and effort as some mobs have 1/1000 drop rate items. Good luck on slaying mobs and collecting their loot![/p][p][/p][p]
