Trophies

[caughtatwork]

I have a question about the 3 new Mission Trophies I started GA a while before I joined dragonZone according to GA I am missing 1 for the 3x3 challenge but dragonZone has 4 to go. How can I see either what I am missing or what I have found post joining dragonZone

A query re the latest trophy additions Weekend Traveller, Weeklong and Long Distance Traveller. I'm not sure I'm interpreting what is needed for these correctly. My trophy page shows:

Weekend Traveller
Move 25 moveable geocaches a distance greater than or equal to 250km and less than 500km.
25 to go.
Weeklong Traveller
Move 15 moveable geocaches a distance greater than or equal to 500km and less than 1,000km.
15 to go.
Long Distance Traveller
Move 10 moveable geocaches a distance greater than or equal to 1,000km.
10 to go.

We joined DZ early April 14 . On April 15 this year we moved GA4695 - Black Beauty 940.62 km so shouldn't my trophy page show at least one cache has been moved between 500 and 1000km and the to go should be 14?

Addressed in the other thread.

Thanks caught@work

Just got an email on new challenges, worked out from a post on this thread how to find the graphs but couldn't find a graph on A - Z caches, so I can check which letter I am missing. Can you point me in the right direction please? Checked my points and found I had scored 1,000 for moving moveables a long distance - cool.

[caughtatwork]

There is currently no checker for the A-Z. You might have to check it manually.

Create a My Query
http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/

Let it return (say) 1000 geocaches and give it a name like dragonZone

Tick Include the following geocache types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable
Traditional
TrigPoint
Beacon
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery

Click the radio button for "I have found".

Set Found between to the day you started the game (which you can find here) and the default end date.
http://geocaching.com.au/my/dragonzone/

Save.

Now view to the screen and click on the name heading to sort. Check the first letter and those which you don't have are the ones you need.

The Query function is very powerful and should allow you to view your geocaches in all sorts of new and exciting ways.

Thanks, will take a look

Thanks for all the exciting trophies and points we can earn. I was just checking my trophies and it appears I never received trophy/points for hiding or finding gegnomes during the GeGnome games and no trophy/points for participating in the winter games. Not sure if a bug or not but my first moveable find was in July 16 and I moved oodles in the dec/jan 15 games or during the previous 2014/15 games

You MUST claim the trophy while it was available. They are limited time trophies and are only claimable while the time period exists. For the Christmas in July game there are two trophies that can be claimed but only while the game is running. After the game, sorry, no longer available.

[whitewebbs]

Ok thanks. I didn't claim the current ones they just appeared when I went in to the trophies page. I didn't even know the trophy page existed until 12 months ago. So obviously you need to go into this section everyday or else you might not get updated.

[caughtatwork]

Limited trophies are limited time.

Some trophies need to be claimed when you get a certain value. e.g. TFTC Average 50 or more words per valid dragonZone geocache find log or did not find log excluding geocaches that you own. If you get to 50 words and haven't claimed the trophy and then drop down to 49 words, you can't claim it until you get back to 50 words.

You don't have to claim them everyday, most of them are available all the time. e.g. Find 10 of such and such. You can still claim this when you get to 100.

Get to know the trophies, look for those you want to achieve, get out there and just get it done, the come home, log your finds and get your trophies.
