Some torchlight achievements are a little inconvenient and require that you change maps for the achievements to unlock. Such achievements are marked with this map icon.
This icon is for the achievements based on the sum of all your characters. You do not have to do these achievements on one character. For example, for the Catch 100 Fish achievement, if you have two characters and one has caught 30 and the other has caught 70, you will get this achievement. The characters don't need to be retired from the other, it can be a completely separate one.
