Probably the most grinding and labor intensive set of achievements, you must obtain gold on all 30 stats. To access your stats, pause the game and go to the Social Hub and select "Stat Awards". If you don't already have any DLC, I highly recommend at least investing in the Zodiac Tournament DLC as it adds two new easy Stat Awards; which will allow you to bypass two more that may be giving you trouble.
