Trophies (retired)
Trophies and the Trophy Case were retired in Version 3. What they were, what happened to your progress, and the systems that replaced them: Titles, Skins, Merits and Game Completion.
What happened
Trophies are no longer part of Ballin Tycoon. The trophy system and the TROPHY CASE were retired in the Version 3 overhaul (see Game updates). Nothing in the game awards a trophy any more, the TROPHY CASE row is gone from the menu drawer, and the trophy strip no longer appears on the player profile.
Trophies were cosmetic: none of them ever changed a stat, a drop rate or a payout, so retiring them took no power away from any account.
What trophies were
Before the overhaul the Trophy Case held six shelves: CHAMPIONS (gold, silver and bronze figurines for a top-three tournament finish — 
), TITLES, MILESTONES (lifetime totals and Marquee progress), BOSS RAID, BALL GROVE and EVENTS (Bingo medals, Cake Party and the Founder trophy). One trophy could be featured on your profile.
- Tournaments still pay their gems and balls by bracket, and the top three still stand on the event podium — they just no longer add a figurine to a case.
- Founder rewards still grant the avatar, the title and the pet. The Founder trophy is the one slot that no longer has anything to claim.
- Boss Raid and Ball Grove feats are titles now (kills and wins, on normal and hard).
What replaced them
Every job trophies used to do has a new home, and each of the new systems gives you something for it:
| Instead of | You now have | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Title trophies and milestone trophies |  Titles | 26 achievement titles (plus 3 for collecting titles) for raid kills, grove wins, chests opened, gates broken, albums, shiny pets, evolutions, gems, coins and jackpots. The server awards them and they are never taken away. You pick the one you wear (out of 35 titles in all) from your profile. |
| Rare showpieces |  Skins | 30 one-time character skins that drop very rarely from play all over the game. The number you own pays a permanent reward ladder, and the top players' skins stand on the hiscores podium. |
| Event, sticker-set and "do this N times" trophies |  Achievements | The ACHIEVEMENTS board opens at gate 11: 151 goals in EASY / HARD / EXTREME tiers that pay into the Achievement Shop. 11 of them carry the old trophy goals on — weekly events scored, event GOLDS (top-10% finishes in any theme), completed sticker sets and gold stickers. |
| The "how far along am I" feeling of a full case |  Game Completion | One percentage for the whole account — gates, worlds, pets, statues, artifacts and more — shown on the title screen, the WELCOME BACK summary and your profile's PROGRESS section. |
| Trophies that gave you something to build towards |  Research Hall statues | 45 statues researched with bars, gems and time once the RESEARCH HALL opens at gate 20. Unlike trophies, every statue carries permanent buffs. |
Older pages that mention trophies
Some build notes on Game updates describe trophies as they were when those builds shipped. If a guide tells you to open the Trophy Case, use your profile (titles, skins, completion) or the Merit Board instead.
