Now, I don't know how anyone else will feel about this if it's true, but I can say for me this made me very angry. Why would they do that? That's gotta be the most moronic thing I've ever seen. Give us a title track then stop us from getting it? WTF? It is true, a couple in StP (4 to be exact) have reached r9 Sunspear. Pictures etc in a few other topics.

Ok, so basically because I went into a town after completely clearing an area of enemies, I'm screwed and will never be able to max out this title?

What idiot came up with that boneheaded idea?

Hmmm.... the r9 workaround seems like a solution that was overlooked by ANet, not thier intention. I still think it's a bit early to come to a conclusion on this one. Maybe if you hold Gwen's Broken Flute when talking to the Sunspear.....

--Edit, never mind... seems it IS possible to get R9 without questing or blessings (well, no blessings on yourself)

ok lenny. since you seem to want to be helpful, here's a tip. help. it's not going to spoil it for me. I have r6, both protector titles, both mapping titles; have almost 70% of Elona explored already and am 8/20 toward the protector with none of the island missions done. I'm coming up on the torment area now and will probably be done with the game including protector and mapping titles by tomorrow night.

i'm coming here asking for help. not to get snide comments from you. i seriously hope that's not your intention, but seeing both of your replies to my posts, it seems that's your intent. if not feel free to clarify.

Try going out with a lower ranked guildie. It's rumored thier blessing effects you. Although, there was a huge update last night, so I have not tested nor can I confirm it other than rumor.

--sorry I didn't reply sooner....stupid job and stuff.

I think max sunspear was put there intentionally. From the get go when people were talking about how you couldn't get above a certain rank (r6 i believe), they sooner or later found out you could in fact recieve blessings in higher level areas. Now the only conclusion i have before people get to crazy over this is, either the elite area or some other area that everyone seems to be missing does contain a way to max out this title. I HIGHLY doubt that anet screwed this up by not thinking it through.

The only evidence I have is that in another thread there is a screenshot of maxed level (and then some). I'm hoping they didn't use the 'let the baddies rez themselves' solution.

BTW, did anyone happen to travel to the far eastern town in the poisonous area? There is an outpost waaaaay over there. I went there last night and there was a quest or 2 over there as well.

There is a Challenge Mission/Arena thing where they have records keeper that gives points after r8. I hit 7500 before I got there and now I have around 7,600.

Hmm....the screenshot I saw was like 16k thats 250 kills above what's needed. Why would you waste your time with that? Just get a few points over for proof of concept. Anyway...I'm going to try to find a Spearmarshall tonight and test my leeching theory.

I've since done the reading also but now there are a few ideas posted.

If they went out in a guild group of 4 people, it means they were all most likely at different levels of sunspear. If you suddenly got the title, you wouldnt want to quit, would you?

So basically, the reason i see them getting over the max amount of points is to help their friends getting the title as well. If you were to get all four people together, you would find that the points probably scale progressively.

-- Why would they lie to you?

Gaile Grey said that players currently aren't supposed to be able to max out the sunspear rank title track, and that the intended method of reaching sunspear rank 9 will be available once they release the upcoming major update. here's Here's the link.

-- Why would they lie to you? it definetely does go faster with more people. i just got the title tonight using the rezing mobs in sulfurous wastes. did it by myself with 3 heroes and it took quite a while. since you need to be careful to not kill monks, i ended up just keeping the heroes on avoid combat to rez me when i ded (wurm mode). occasionally i used their locked on targetting to speed things up. with 4 players and 4 heroes to just sit there and rez when dead split up among 4 different mobs, it should go a lot faster.

btw, the dervish boss mob right outside the gates of desolation outpost works well for this as it spawns with at least 3 paragons with signet of return and a monk.

Any ideas?? Talk to whisper's acolyte or something like that in the Chantry of Secrets, he'll give you some info and exp and maybe lightbringer's gaze, not sure. After that, the whisper informants will resume giving you bounties.

Some people have it maxxed (15000) or w/e max sunspear pnts are), what you do is go to an area when you have about 7495 sunspear pnts, then kill everyone on the map except priests, then come back to where u have already been, kill the group resed by the priest, and repeat.
(no idea how long it would take, id imagine at least 10 hours)

ask yourself, how bad do u want this title before...
