Badges
When a player has passed specific milestones, completed particular missions, or just been around for long enough, he will sometimes receive a badge which will be visible in his character info window. Some badges also entitle their owner to special equipment or treatment. This page lists all of the known badges currently available in Vendetta Online.

The Basic Miner series of badges requires you to mine AND sell ore to get credit for the badge (ores collected by a mission count as sold). The way this works is each type of ore has separate ore mined and ore sold counters, and the lower of each set of numbers counts toward the total.
| Ishik Ore | Xithricite Ore | Lanthanic Ore | Heliocene Ore | |
| 150 cu Mined | 200 cu Mined | 0 cu Mined | 20 cu Mined | |
| 100 cu Sold | 400 cu Sold | 50 cu Sold | 0 cu Sold | |
| Credit for badge = | MINIMUM(150, 100) + | MINIMUM(200,400) + | MINIMUM(0,50) + | MINIMUM(20,0) |
| Credit for badge = | 100 + | 200 + | 0 + | 0 |
| Credit for badge = | 300 |
