The Attribute Cacher
Log Geocaches with all the various attributes. There currently are 70 attributes available, not counting the old Cactus attribute which is considered deprecated. Some of these attributes can be toggled as either set or unset, some can only exist in the set-state. The goal with this badge is to log every available attribute, but there are a few exceptions.
- Needs Maintenance - This is not considered a standard attribute, and is therefore not required. It is meant to be temporary, in contrary to the others which are meant to be permanent.
- "Lost & Found" and Partnership are also a bit special, and in some cases quite rare. Furthermore, the Partnership attributes are not always permanent. Therefore, these are not required either.
This leaves it to a total of 108 attributes to collect, when counting both set and unset attributes. The Diamond-badge requires the user to log all of the 108 attributes.
Loop
By logging multiple of each available attribute the user will be able to loop this badge. The number of loops will equal the count of the attribute the user has the least of.
Addons
- Leapday - Log Geocaches with all 108 attributes on Leap day(s) to achieve this addon.
- L&F - Log at least one Geocache with the Lost and Found attribute to achieve this addon.
- Partnership - Log at least one Geocache with the Partnership attribute to achieve this addon.
History
This Badge was added with the BadgeGen 4.0 release early 2020. When new attributes are released or in the case that old attributes would be retired, the amount needed for the different levels are adjusted accordingly.
August 2020
31st of August 2020 four new attributes were added by HQ. This lead to the following changes:
- Diamond increased by 4
- Emerald increased by 4
- Sapphire increased by 4
- Ruby increased by 4
- Platinum increased by 3
- Gold increased by 2
July 2022
The GeoTour attribute used to be somewhat temporary. Geotours are paid for with an annual license fee. When the fee wasn't paid anymore two things could happen. Either the geocache was archived with the attribute, or the attribute was removed. Later on the routines was changed so that the geocache is always archived, and keeps its attribute.
Due to the fact that the attribute is now kept Project-GC will consider it more of a permanent one and therefore this badge now includes the GeoTour attribute in its count instead of having it as an addon. Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond have their required amount increased by 1.
