Be aware, i have only written down confirmed lodestone entries.
A self called insider told me the following, that enemies defeated goes 200000/500000/1000000, regional and local leves 2000/5000/10000 and for gil earned, there is a 100000 entry. Especially the last one is bugging me, but it exists: Alicia Lenneth (Rabanastre) 22/11/2010.
The best bet to reach 100000 gil is a faction leve R40+ with a base reward of 56000 and a 4x2 star multiplier (x1,8). Maybe with a base reward of 53000 and a time multiplier bonus you can reach 100000, too. My own record is ~96000 gil.
Update: after investigating all R40 and R50 faction leves since end of march, i think the maximum base gil reward is 50300 only given by NM faction leves (3rd "boss" leve). I havn't missed one leve cycle so far. The maximum difficulty plus time bonus is in my opinion 8000 gil and can't be reached after the reduction to 8 party members. Nevertheless with theoretical maximum bonus and maximum base reward 100000 gil can't be achieved.
This means, Alicia got this achievement before all the latest patches adapted the rewards. This achievement seems to be not possible anymore at the current state of the game.

X enemies defeated (10*): 100/200/500/1000/2000/5000/10000/20000/50000/100000/?...

[ScoutX]

A placeholder for further editing.

Hope this Lodestone Achievement guide motivates you all.

[Haru]

You calculated for 20 jobs there are only 19.

[ScoutX]

Haru, physical ranking is not a job, but i have never written there are 20 jobs. I just called it ranking system

[Archadius]

Is this supposed to be some sort of checklist for people driven to get achievements or just list awaiting confirmation?

Also, I can confirm that there is no "group" achievement for reaching all locations in the entire world. I've been everywhere, Aetheryte Camps and their corresponding Gates, and they all offer individual achievements but you get nothing for finishing the job. You're welcome to check my character "history" on the Lodestone for concrete reference.

[ScoutX]

It should be a reference and checklist.

The only achievements, that need confirmation, are Part 0 with (uncertain) and Part 2 achievements with * (?...) marked and for sure every new one discovered.

[Magnesium02]

Great guide.

One small issue, there is one less accomplishment for quests. Each city has 4 unique quests before the storylines converge, but you only get the accomplishment on your history page for 3 of them. The first one (Sundered Skies/Shapeless Melody/Flowers for All) which consists of the opening cutscene and first combat etc does not show up on Lodestone. I've checked multiple people's history and the first quest accomplishment in their logs is the second one. Its a bit like the first aetheryte.

Also as I'm sure you know there are more sidequests plus the company quests and accomplishments for killing the final boss for each dungeon. I've also seen 3 more Purple event accomps.

[ScoutX]

I have corrected the error of the beggining city quest. Although i've known this, too much copy paste of the mission and quest names let me oversee this one. Thank You.
As for the achievements of the new patch 1.18
I dont integrate them before i know, if Ronan Kognan gives more than one achievement. Nobody has answered me, if you exchange deaspected crystals for elemental crystals.
For those who wants to know about the "purple" events. NPC with Chocobo near Camps - The Empire Strikes First; Winning against an Empireal Assault Troop - A Taste of Victory; Ronan Kognan - Rhapsody in White (30 crystal exchange for helmet) and maybe some more by Ronan Kognan. The last point is what i need to know.
