You have sit there and click on every single category one by one to see if you've earned anything and whether or not you've claimed it yet.
I mean the way they do new achievements, not the new way they do old achievements. In general, the achievements of SB have either directly given you the reward as part of accomplishing the achievement, or items associated with an achievement are gotten from a vendor or quest. There was only one item added in SB that you have to go talk to Jonathas to get (the crown for all classes 70), and it was more as a continuation of that previous chain of achievements. Every other achievement that has been added since 4.0 has had nothing to do with Jonathas for rewards. It seems SE is trying to steer away from Jonathas being the guy for that and focusing on making him just the guy for turning in achievement point tokens for token-based rewards.

As far as the claiming method of old achievement rewards, I wasn't aware they had even changed that, since I've long since gotten them all. Does he not still automatically give you the items your eligible for if you talk to him?
