## Pinned Badges Up to four Badges can be pinned to your `/profile` menu, allowing you to showcase your favorite achievements to other players. One pinned Badge slot is unlocked by default. Additional pinned Badge slots are unlocked by reaching certain Crown Ranks. ## Perks Menu Open `/buffs` to view every stackable perk on one page, along with the features boosting it, how much each one is worth, and what that works out to against the base chance. The menu may also be opened from the **Perks** button in the `/profile` menu. Each perk is listed as its own item, with one line per source in its lore. Beneath them, **Base** is the value the perk starts from before any boost, and **Yours** is what the perk comes to once every source is added on. Players using the [Modpack](/features/modpack.md) also see the **Max** value of each source, which is the most that source can grant. Perks that roll against a chance display these as **Base Chance** and **Your Chance**, written as odds. A base Shiny chance of **1/4096** with **+87.5%** worth of boosts reads as a Your Chance of **1/2185**, which is the chance you actually roll against. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://wiki.apexcobblemon.com/features/player/badges.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
