The 27 official badges, and where players quit
Roblox publishes how many players hold each Arcane 101 badge. Nobody in the codes-page crowd has done anything with it. Read down the list and the difficulty curve is visible as a cliff.
The drop from clearing the Forest (57,121) to clearing Frostfang Pass (13,742) is the biggest wall in the game: 76% of players who finish the first land never finish the second.
Arcane 101 has 27 badges. Roblox publishes, for each one, how many players have ever been awarded it. That is a first-party number about player behaviour that no codes site uses, and it lets you read the game's difficulty curve directly instead of guessing at it.

This is the spine of the game: finish the first quest, then clear each land in turn.
| # | Badge | What it takes | Players | Share of the stage above |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First Lesson | Finish your first quest | 59,582 | — |
| 2 | Bramble Breaker | Clear the Forest | 57,121 | 95.9% |
| 3 | Frost Hunter | Clear Frostfang Pass | 13,742 | 24.1% ⚠ |

| 9 | Checkmate | Clear the Gambit Court | 281 | 52.5% |
| 10 | Two Grow Back | Clear the Labyrinth of Legends | 52 | 18.5% ⚠ |
Two cliffs, not one. The famous one is stage 3 — 76% of players who clear the Forest never clear Frostfang Pass. The other is at the very end: the Labyrinth retains 18.5% of the players who reached the Gambit Court.
The level ladder runs behind it
Levels are a second, slower ladder: 20,176 players reached level 10, 5,454 reached 20, 1,959 reached 30, and 41 reached 60 — 0.07% of the 59,582 who finished the first quest. The full comparison, and why the gap matters, is on level vs map.
The side systems
These are not on the campaign path, which makes them the most interesting numbers in the set.
| Badge | What it takes | Players |
|---|---|---|
| Saddled Up | Own a mount | 59,578 |
| Companion | Hatch a pet | 43,960 |
| Legendary Find | Own a legendary item | 14,393 |
| Perfected | Raise a card to Tier V | 7,082 |
| The Hollow Bargain | Beat Thaddeus Crowe | 5,520 |
| Mythic | Clear any Mythic tier | 4,875 |
| Unbreakable | Clear any area on Insane | 8,732 |
| One Tap | Fell three enemies at full health with one card | 2,494 |
| Deep Diver | Reach depth 10 in the endless depths | 1,161 |
| Duelist | Win a PvP duel | 487 |
| Not Even Close | Beat a run's boss with 1 health left | 146 |
Four conclusions the numbers force
1. The game has one wall, and it is the second land
57,121 → 13,742 is a 76% loss in a single step. Every other step in the campaign loses roughly half. If you are going to prepare for one thing in this game, prepare for Frostfang Pass.
2. Levels lag maps, badly
20,176 players are level 10 or above. 57,121 cleared the Forest. That gap — up to 36,945 players — is not a rounding error: it means a large share of the player base pushes maps faster than it levels, which is precisely the habit that makes the second land a wall. See level vs map.
3. The mount is free-tier and the pet is not
Saddled Up (59,578) is four players behind First Lesson (59,582). Companion (43,960) is 15,618 behind. One of these is part of the tutorial in all but name; the other has a gate. See mounts and pets.
4. PvP is a rounding error, and the hard tiers are not
487 players have won a duel — 0.8% of first-quest finishers. Meanwhile 8,732 have cleared an area on Insane and 4,875 have cleared a Mythic tier, both more than the 6,601 who cleared the third land.
The read: this player base overwhelmingly prefers PvE difficulty ladders to PvP. If you were wondering whether duels are where the game's community lives, the answer is in that row. See PvP and Mythic and Insane.
Badges that are not on any path
Three badges measure things rather than progress: One Tap (fell three enemies from full health with one card) at 2,494, The Hollow Bargain (beat Thaddeus Crowe) at 5,520, and Not Even Close (beat a run's boss with 1 health left) at 146. That last one is the smallest number in the set, but its badge was created on 14 November 2026 — one day before this snapshot — so it is listed for completeness, not analysis.
How to use this page
Find your last achieved badge above and read the row under it: that percentage is how many players make your next step. If it is the Frostfang row, read the wall guide. The retention curve plots the same numbers and explains the three phases.
