Aniimo Badge Beginnings: first Collection Badge

Aniimo Badge Beginnings achievement: earn a regional Collection Badge. The published route puts the first, Bronze threshold at 40% collection in one area, with Nimbus Fields suggested as a convenient starting choice.

Single source method draft

1. Select an area on the map and inspect its Collection Badge progress through the Bloom or badge panel.
2. Look for required entries not caught there. A duplicate of an already-counted entry does not replace a missing entry.
3. Reach the displayed first threshold. Inspect any claim action, then check the badge's earned state.
4. Check Steam after the badge is awarded.

Local progress is not the whole-region ladder

The first local badge and later Windchaser milestones are different goals. Do not turn the reported 40% local threshold into a universal requirement for every Bronze badge in every menu. Follow the badge selected, including any form-specific entry it displays.

Matching references have not been established as independent current unlock observations, so the method stays Single source. Percentage behavior after added content, retroactive progress, recovery and missability remain UNSURE. No in-game testing or invented time/difficulty score.
