what's with getting titles? - Guild Wars Forums

afrika18 · Mar 01, 2008, 07:24 PM // 19:24

do titles do anything for you? Or are they just titles for vanity? Serious question.

pfaile · Mar 01, 2008, 07:31 PM // 19:31

some are vanity, some have a benifit

N1ghtstalker · Mar 01, 2008, 07:34 PM // 19:34

ya what he said
like
having Legendary Skill hunter has a benefit
wich?
you got loads of skills to choose from
but a title like the Gladiator Title track doesn't give a real benefit
it does show your experience 'n such
(k bad example sry)

Harmless · Mar 01, 2008, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Some titles help in specific ways. Others are just for show.
You have to look for the information on this page, but it mentions it here and there, look at sunspear for example.

uh glad title increases your faction cap btw... so as hero and commandor and champ

Aleron · Mar 01, 2008, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Some of the titles in GWEN give you benefit in certain areas.

Covah · Mar 01, 2008, 07:38 PM // 19:38

each title adds an inch to your epeen.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 01, 2008, 07:46 PM // 19:46

some like light bringer, wisdom/treasure hunter and the eye titles help while others are purely cosmetic...and when you get one it counts towards another title---the kind of a big deal title---if you get to level 2 of this one (10 max titles) and have eye of the north a big bird that can be charmed will appear in your hall of monuments.....otherwise. nope no real value (other than its how anet is trying to keep our interest until gw2 comes out).

minaau · Mar 01, 2008, 08:10 PM // 20:10

collecting loads of titles together so that we can get extra stuff in GW2 is my reason

Chilos · Mar 01, 2008, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Status Symbol. nuff' said.

Racthoh · Mar 01, 2008, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Gives me something to work towards instead of farming gold to play barbie.

enter_the_zone · Mar 01, 2008, 08:31 PM // 20:31

Well, I'm vanquishing/Guardian because it's more fun than doing nothing or farming.

Uber Mass · Mar 01, 2008, 08:46 PM // 20:46

you have to keep yourself busy sometimes

llsektorll · Mar 01, 2008, 08:46 PM // 20:46

If you're currently a fan of Guild Wars, and debating whether or not to "jump ship," as it were, to Guild Wars 2, the ArenaNet boys have included a little incentive for you, via the Hall of Monuments in the latest Guild Wars expansion, Eye of the North. It goes like this: when you accomplish something great in Guild Wars--maybe you finished a particularly gnarly quest--a monument is erected in honor of the event in the Hall of Monuments. The Hall carries over into Guild Wars 2, and all the greatness you achieved will still be on display, despite the fact that the action of the game takes place several hundred years after the first GW. This is about more than just bragging rights, though. Thanks to your efforts in GW, your character in GW2--the descendant of your GW character--will have access to exclusive titles, companions, pets, armor, and weapons. None of the unlockable content will give you a huge edge over other players, but it will provide you with a nice badge of honor that brands you as an Old School Guild Wars pro and personalizes the gameplay for you just that little bit more. Personally, I think something that nods to the old fans without screwing the new ones is a great idea.

StormDragonZ · Mar 01, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

Protector of Tyria, Cantha and Elona.
Tyrian, Canthan, Elonian and Legendary Skill Hunter.
Sunspear Max, Lightbringer Max
Kurzick Faction Max

I consider getting all 10 of these, as well as finishing Eye of the North, to be when I've done enough on one character.

I have five characters, so my goal is to have all of this done to each character before I officially say I'm done with Guild Wars (or until I feel like getting some other title.)

I have a set goal. Nothing more.

i want to max the hall... to get this...

all you need is 20 max titles and a fully decked hall

StormDragonZ · Mar 01, 2008, 08:57 PM // 20:57

20 Max Titles:

Triple Protector = 3
Triple Guardian = 6
The Quad Skill Hunter = 10
Sunspear/Lightbringer = 12
Party/Sweet/Drunk = 15
Triple Cartographer = 18
Any Two EotN Tracks* = 20

*: Deldrimor & Norn are my personal choices.

You can drop one title out of that; guardian is four.

Wow, really? So we have GWAMMs with 30+ inch epeens?

Depends on what you consider a benefit. Some titles have skills associated with them that benefit from the title rank (Sunspear, Lightbringer, Luxon/Kurzick, etc.). Some have passive benefits that increase salvaging and lockpicking chances.

Read the wiki info for complete breakdowns.

Cathode_Reborn · Mar 01, 2008, 09:16 PM // 21:16

I only bother with titles linked to those imba pve skills. Anything else is a waste of time, imo.

When it comes to skill, you can probably say max KoaBD is equivalent to r3 hero
