Pro Strategy: Focus on getting the early survival badges (10-50 days) first, as they provide the best diamond-to-effort ratio. The 38 diamonds from these alone can unlock several new classes to make longer survival runs easier.

Combat & Boss Badges

These badges require defeating specific enemies or bosses in the game.

Badge Name	Requirements	Difficulty	Diamond Reward
Combat	Defend your campfire from cultists	★	2
Beastmaster	Defeat the Frog King	★★	4
Usurpation	Defeat the Cultist King	★★	4
Infiltration	Clear the Cultist Stronghold	★★	4
Xenology	Defeat the Alien Mothership	★	2

Pro Strategy: The Combat badge is often obtained naturally during your first few games. For boss fights, make sure you have adequate weapons and armor. The Frog King can be found near ponds, while the Cultist King requires progressing through the volcanic biome story.

Crafting & Building Badges

These badges focus on upgrading your camp and crafting systems.

Badge Name	Requirements	Difficulty	Diamond Reward
Gardening	Buy a box of Seeds from the Fairy	★	2
Firemaking I	Upgrade the fire to level 3	★	2
Firemaking II	Upgrade the fire to level 4	★	2
Firemaking III	Upgrade the fire to level 5	★	2
Firemaking IV	Fully upgrade the campfire to level 6 (reveals entire map)	★★	4
Crafting	Upgrade the crafting bench to level 4	★	2

Pro Strategy: These are some of the easiest badges to obtain early. Focus on upgrading your campfire first, as it provides map expansion and better defense. The Fairy appears randomly around your campfire area, so keep an eye out for her.

Exploration & Quest Badges

These badges require exploring the map and completing specific quests.

Badge Name	Requirements	Difficulty	Diamond Reward
Hunting	Complete all of the Pelt Trader’s quests	★★	4
Orienteering	Locate and save the 4 missing children	★★	4
Self Preservation	Survive 99 days without rescuing any missing children	★★★	6

Teamwork	Survive 99 days with a team of 5 people	★★★★	8
Humiliation	Die by stepping on a bear trap (secret action)	★★	4

Pro Strategy: Important conflict alert: You cannot get both Orienteering and Self Preservation in the same run, as they require opposite actions. Plan your strategy accordingly. For Teamwork, coordinate with friends or join a full server. Humiliation is the only badge that requires you to fail, so don’t stress about it!

Smart Badge Hunting Strategies

Efficient Badge Farming Routes

As someone who’s completed hundreds of runs, I’ve developed optimal strategies for badge collection:

Route 1: Early Game Diamond Rush

Focus on survival badges (10-50 days) – 38 diamonds
Complete easy crafting badges (Firemaking I-III, Crafting) – 8 diamonds
Get Combat and Gardening badges – 4 diamonds
Total: 50 diamonds for minimal effort

Route 2: Mid-Game Progression

Complete remaining survival badges (60-100 days) – 20 diamonds
Finish Firemaking IV and Hunting badges – 8 diamonds
Obtain Taming and Husbandry badges – 6 diamonds
Work on fishing badges progressively – 19 diamonds
Total: 53 diamonds with moderate effort

Route 3: Late Game Mastery

Complete all special achievement badges – 45+ diamonds
Go for Determined I and II – 16 diamonds
Complete challenging badges (Durability, Vegetarian, etc.) – 24+ diamonds
Total: 85+ diamonds for dedicated players

Badge Compatibility Guide

Some badges work well together, while others conflict:

Compatible Badge Sets:

Speed Runner Set: Swiftness + Survival badges (focus on quick day progression)
Crafting Master Set: All Firemaking + Crafting badges (upgrade-focused gameplay)
Explorer Set: Orienteering + Hunting + Wilderness Hunting (exploration-focused)
Survival Expert Set: Durability + Self Preservation + high survival days

Conflicting Badge Sets:

Orienteering vs. Self Preservation: Cannot save children AND avoid saving them
Teamwork vs. Solo Challenges: Teamwork requires 5 players, conflicting with solo-focused badges
Vegetarian vs. Meat-Based Strategies: Cannot eat meat while going for vegetarian badge

Advanced Badge Hunting Tips

Multi-Tasking: Work on multiple badges simultaneously. For example, while going for long survival runs, also work on crafting upgrades and exploration.
Server Hopping: For rare encounter badges (like finding the Fairy), switch servers if one doesn’t have what you need.
Team Coordination: For badges like Teamwork, coordinate with friends or join Discord servers to find full servers.
Event Timing: Keep track of 99 Nights in The Forest Codes and events, as some badges are only available during specific periods.
Resource Management: Save resources for badge-specific challenges. For example, save bandages for when you need the First Aid badge.

Making the Most of Your Diamond Rewards

Diamonds are the premium currency in 99 Nights in the Forest, essential for unlocking new classes. Here’s how to maximize your badge earnings:

Diamond Value Analysis

Badge Difficulty	Average Diamond Reward	Effort Required	Value Rating
★ (1 star)	2-5 diamonds	Low	Excellent
★★ (2 stars)	4-6 diamonds	Medium	Good
★★★ (3 stars)	6-10 diamonds	High	Fair
★★★★ (4 stars)	8 diamonds	Very High	Poor
★★★★★ (5 stars)	8 diamonds	Extreme	Poor

Best Value Badges: Focus on 1-star badges first, as they provide the best diamond-to-effort ratio. The 38 diamonds from early survival badges alone can unlock multiple classes.

Class Purchase Priorities

With your hard-earned diamonds, consider this purchase order:

Essential Classes: Support class (20 diamonds) – invaluable for team play
Utility Classes: Explorer (15 diamonds) – great for exploration badges
Combat Classes: Beastmaster (25 diamonds) – helps with combat badges
Specialized Classes: Save remaining diamonds for event-specific classes

Troubleshooting Common Badge Issues

Badge Not Unlocking?

If you’ve completed the requirements but haven’t received a badge:

Check Exact Requirements: Some badges have specific conditions (e.g., “exactly 99 days” not “100 days”)
Server Issues: Try rejoining the game or switching servers
Update Status: Check if the badge is currently available (some event badges are seasonal)
Bug Reports: Report persistent issues to the developers via Discord

Conflicting Badge Strategies

Some badge combinations are impossible in the same run:

Orienteering + Self Preservation: These directly contradict each other
Teamwork + Solo Challenges: Teamwork requires 5 players, conflicting with solo achievements
Speed Runs + Long Survival: Swiftness requires fast completion, while long survival badges require time

Solution: Plan separate runs for conflicting badge sets. Focus on one strategy per game session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total badges are in 99 Nights in the Forest?

According to different sources, the total varies:

IGN reports 42 badges (main game only)
Fandom Wiki lists 50+ badges (including event and seasonal badges)
My comprehensive count: 60+ badges when including all event and limited-time badges

The discrepancy comes from whether event badges are counted and whether some currently unobtainable badges are included.

What’s the hardest badge to get?

Determined II (survive 500 days) is widely considered the hardest badge due to:

Extreme time commitment (8+ hours of real-time play)
Requires consistent resource management
High risk of losing progress to mistakes or bugs
No room for error over such a long period

Other challenging badges include:

Durability (survive 99 days without dying)
Vegetarian (survive 99 days without meat)
Teamwork (requires coordinating 5 players for 99 days)

Do event badges return?

Based on the update patterns:

Seasonal events (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) typically return annually
Major update badges (Taming, Meteor Shower) may return as permanent features
Limited-time event badges may not return, making them rare collector’s items

Check the official 99 Nights in the Forest Discord for event announcements.

Can I get all badges in one run?

No, it’s impossible to get all badges in a single run because:

Conflicting requirements: Orienteering vs. Self Preservation
Different playstyles: Speed runs vs. long survival
Random elements: Some badges depend on rare spawns or events
Team requirements: Some badges need full teams, others are solo-focused

Best approach: Plan 3-4 specialized runs targeting different badge categories.

How often are new badges added?

Based on the update log:

Major updates (every 1-2 months) often include 2-4 new badges
Seasonal events typically add 4-6 event badges
Talent/Class updates sometimes include achievement badges

The developers are actively adding content, so new badges appear regularly.

Final Thoughts

Collecting all badges in 99 Nights in the Forest is a marathon, not a sprint. With 60+ badges available and more being added regularly, it’s a constantly evolving challenge that will test every aspect of your survival skills.

Key takeaways for badge hunters:

Start with easy badges to build your diamond reserve
Plan specialized runs for conflicting badge requirements
Stay updated on new content and events
Join the community for tips and coordination
Be patient – some badges require significant time investment

Remember, the journey to collecting all badges is as rewarding as the destination. Each badge represents a new skill mastered, a new challenge overcome, and a deeper understanding of the game’s mechanics.
