The West Medals Guide by Duduie

What are medals?
Medals are awards you can earn through completing certain tasks and fulfilling certain requirments.

How do I know if I have earnt a medal?
You will recieve a report, much like this one:

What do I get?
You get an icon for each medal. Up to four of these icons can be shown on your profile at any one time for others to see.

How do I see my medals?
Click on the ‘Character’ button on the left-hand menu, and you will see the four medals you are displaying. This icon is called your ‘Medal Box’. To see the rest of your medals, click on the medal box (anywhere on your avatar). You can then scroll through the pages to see all medals earned. If you hover your mouse over each one, you can see what the medal is and when it was earned. (You can also do this to see other people’s medals)

How do I know what I did to earn each medal?
It is not explained. Sometimes, it will be very clear because you perform an action and then earn an award. Sometimes, it won’t be so clear. In the posts below, we are trying to collate all the medals that can be earned and how they are earnt. Some of these are just guesses though.

How do I choose which medals to display?
When you have the medal box opened, click and drag the medal you wish to display into one of the display boxes.

Sleeping Set
1) Sleepyhead (Silver) – Sleep two full times in a hotel or barracks uninterrupted by any activity that uses energy.
2) Sleepwalker (Gold) – Sleep three full times in a hotel or barracks uninterrupted by any activity that uses energy.

Apparently (according to Dj Storm), the sleeping doesn’t have to be continuous, but you can’t do any activities that require energy. So you can sleep for 8 hours in a hotel or 6 hours in a barracks, pray, sit idly, walk to a town, fort, or quest giver, and fight in a fort battle before sleeping another 8 hours in a hotel or 6 hours in a barracks and still get the Sleepyhead medal when you’re done.

On all of these the mount (or no mount for the walking medal) apparently must be equipped for the entire trip, not just when the trip is queued. Travel doesn’t need to be continuous. Requirements are actual distances traveled, not time. If you’re trying to achieve any of these medals, distance = % speed / 25 * (hours + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600).

Note: Despite the fact that there is a bronze, silver, and gold medal, unlike the other bronze-silver-gold medal groups, you don’t need to get them in order.

The Wreath MedalsSome medals come with the gold medal, but with a green wreath around them in the icon. These are ‘one off’ medals, in that they don’t seem to have silver or bronze counterparts. These are the known ones:

Trainee Builder – For levelling up (experience wise) from the experience earned from construction any town building (leveling up from the experience gained from fort construction does not reward the medal).

*
Construction Fool – For building with 0% motivation.
