How to unlock the Ready for Battle achievement in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game - Definitive Guide

More information than guide but the requirements here can be split in two:

1. a leader skin
Easiest way is to purchase a 'bundle' in the shop. It costs 1200 meteorites and comes with a leader skin, an avatar, and a board.
Currently there are three packs available to purchase for three different leaders: Northern Realms' Demavend, Scoia'tel's Brouver & Nilfgaard's Emhyr. Emhyr is the only one unlocked from the start so may be the easiest to use for this achievement. Otherwise you have to accrue Reward points and unlock leaders from the Reward Book (the last icon in the bottom-left corner of the main menu).
To equip, go to the Play menu and you will find a 'Change Leader Skin' option there, just make sure you select a deck with a leader you have the skin for.
Meteorites can be earned playing for free but will require some grinding. So keep saving those. If you played regularly in the beta however you will probably find you have enough or close to it (and Reward Points as well if you want to unlock it with another leader, I used Brouver myself).
(Note you can also unlock leader skins in their Leader Tree from the Reward Book, but it will require a fair amount of Reward Points (RP). You may want to keep them for a different achievement instead -Fantastic Five- to unlock a leader for each faction. But the option is there if you want.)

2. an avatar, border and title
Those are unlocked during ranked seasons. If you played the beta you are likely to be able to equip some straight away (I had several unlocked as soon as I started the game). If not, some leveling up will be required but will be achieved as you grind for the leader skin.
If you've played in the beta, your previous profile has all been saved and is already restored so you wouldn't have to worry about that part.
To equip, press the 'hamburger' button on your controller and navigate to the 'Trinkets' tab.

As of feb. ‘19 (Season of Love) they still haven’t activated season reward tree. So for new players to achieve it this way you still need to wait at least one more month.
However as mentioned by In Gyi Yoon, they have activated new reward trees (press RT on the reward tree screen). There in the Year of the Wild Boar, you can use reward points to get them, although you will need to spend 23 RP for the border, plus 16 RP more for the title. Similarly to above it may be worth keeping those for the leaders instead but the option is here.

I don't have any borders. What does it take to get those from seasons? Do I just play ranked games?

Yes play ranked. If think the first one comes quickly after gaining a few levels.

With the previous version it was after reaching level 5. Those are now inverted so may now be to reach level 25. We will have to wait until the first real ranked season starts in January I think.

Yeah, I still don't have a border and I am level 37 or so and rank 21. Hopefully they'll have new challenges in January for borders.

Still missing the border aswell
Im lvl 53 and rank 19 in ranked
All i see in contracts page is doing 100w with all leaders which is obviously too long to do..

Also the ranked way in the book is not reachable, i cant click on it so idk how im supposed to unlock this border either (it says i have to unlock all story node but eh..)

Indeed the first ranked month hasn't got rewards. Not sure why they delay this but I'll expect to see those in the reward tree whenever it's enabled. Still need to wait it out for now.

Screams 'buy me'. I don't mind spending a little, but the economy of this game is rancid. Pass.

Indeed, I had noticed it but didn't think it was the most efficient way to spend the diversity of resources. I've added details on this now though.

When exactly do you get this first border from ranked? The contracts don’t mention anything except for ridiculously hard challenges like a perfect arena run or 100 wins with all leaders of a faction.

I looked at each and every contract, and at the moment there is currently only ONE WAY to get a border. You have to go 9-0 in an Arena. Meaning you need 9 wins and zero losses in one single arena.

It would probably be easiest in one of the special event arenas, if you know who to draft. The regular arenas are more random. But it all comes down to luck. The best I've gone was 9 wins 1 loss, which was during the Monsters special event arena.
