Helpful list for Conviction points + Master of Trade

[Undezu]

A handy list for those looking to get max conviction points and find all 21 contracts (+ faction rep stats) for the Master of Trade achievement: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/10JpZGH8xVKOt8nYojFU-cGmgKxXhia_84CvkwjQTjnw/htmlview#.

Credit to @toxicbulb, the author of the list.

Note for Master of Trade: Void Beacons does not count towards Master of Trade (it never registered in the achievement pop-up tally for me, which meant I had to go through the end of Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 all over again before finding this list...).

The three you need to watch out for are Lugnalia's Crusade (second major colony event for Foulstone), Melting the Ice (from the Crossroads of a Hundred Dreams - Ice world) and Sanctions against the Gaprak (talk to the Gapraks during the Magnae Accessio, pick the last conversation option along the lines of "I agree, you should be punished").

I have three (03) bugged achievements that do not pop up with the conditions met: "Greatest Exploration"; "Don't Stop the Exploration; "Master of Trade".

Fantastic work referencing this, cheers.
I'm on my second playthrough, and it feels much easier to get heretic points, rather than Dogmatic ones; just feels like there's more opportunities is all

[Undezu]

You are welcome! That was my experience as well (I skipped a major Act 4 choice and several in Act 2 and still finished my full Heretical run with 500+). Dogmatic seems to have the lowest amount of points of the three in general.

The exploration achievements are a mess because exploration is tied to the rumour system which is itself incredibly clunky. I only managed to get them because I discovered the two locations that weren't properly flagged for me after 3 whole runs and 4 repeats of Chapters 3-5 (pain). I hope they get around to fixing this problem with the new rumours system in the latest patch. Otherwise, I'm not sure anything would help (it's a case-by-case problem).

Well, that sucks. I want to play a mostly dogmatic role with an occasional dip into Iconoclast but I want to be able to max Dogmatic. Sounds like I need to be careful as I took one Iconoclast(save the techpriest) already in Act 1. Maybe 2, can't remember for sure lol.

On top of that, Dogmatic has bugged interactions. The biggest one I can remember is You're supposed to loot a quest item book from the genestealer radio guy on Wasteland Wayfarer to show to Hieronymus Doloroso (the Drusus vendor guy) in Footfall for +9 points. But the book doesn't show up as lootable unless you click >> repeatedly. I missed that on my run.

There's another I found, before the end of Act 1:
When you have a dream about subduing everyone in the expanse with the blue sword, if you *immediately* toss the sword, you get no points.
If however, you let the dream play out, but before accepting the power, *then* toss the sword, you get 5 Dogmatic points.

Considering you can reach rank 2 in each conviction, before reaching a third rank and locking the other two, it makes sense you should get a lot more points, more often. But you just don't. I have a feeling it will be much easier by the time all the DLC are out, as they're integrated into the story. This may be Owlcat's plan, idk.

How do you get the Tychon’s Diplomacy contract if it’s mutually exclusive with Lugnalia’s?
