How to unlock the I have many Leather-Bound Books achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide

Currently, there are 38 underworld factions (more may come in the future)

You have to purchase each faction on your map (4000 gold each), then finish the faction's Quest before you can start its Delve and Hoard.

Delve as deep as you can in each faction with a custom team of your own first; then do the highest level you can with a full team of that faction's troops as you acquire them and upgrade them. Build your hoards to at least 100 for max points from hoards. If you can't go farther with your faction team, then use a super-buff team of your choice to go farther. Once you get your faction troops to Mythic level with all traits, then try to continue from wherever you left off with your other team.

20000 divided by 38 = 526.31 per faction average renown. So it should be quite easy to get this achievement now.

Renown Points Breakdown for each Faction:
Best Delve Defeated (max 500) X2 (max 1000)
Best Delve with no casualties (max 500) X1 (max 500)
Best Delve using the faction's team X1 (max 500)
Treasure Hoard level X5 (max 500)
Total points possible per faction: 2500

Just an example:
Completing Delve level 160 with a Faction team and not losing any troops will net you 320+160+160=640 renown. Add a level 60 Hoard to that for 300 more renown. That gets you 940 renown for one faction. Do something similar to this for every faction.

"Update: Unfortunately we found that increasing your Renown won’t update your “I have many Leather-Bound Books” achievement on Xbox. This has been passed onto the team which communicates directly with Xbox so hopefully this will be able to be fixed soon."

I'm about 4,000 off so it's not that big of a deal but it's annoying when achievements show up and are broken. Guess I'll plug away at getting my number higher while we wait for them to fix it.

I managed to unlock it by raising my Total Renown by 10 (from 44010 to 44020). Fingers crossed they fix it for you guys, or alternatively wait until the next faction release, the Deep Hive on March 27th.

Popped after completing a Delve this morning. They must have put out a hotfix. Was still broken an hour before reset last night. Congrats to all that have made it this far in their underworld.

Now that there are 40 delve factions, you only need to average 500 points per faction to earn 10K total Underworld renown. Thus, you can earn it by getting the hoard level to Level 100 for each faction, and that will get you exactly 20,000 if you've never earned any delve points.

Again, where do you count 40 factions? I agree that having level 100 hoards is important, but you don't magically get the treasure for those hoards unless you delve or forge them.
