the titles ranking is a good measure of how experienced a player actually is on the subject of rom.

top ranked player for titles on artemis has 500 atm.

It also shows how many festival titles player has, as those count as well...

Gratz! Great job Vesuvious!

Not necessarily. You can easily collect titles and not know RoM for toffee.

For example, I am absolutely rubbish at PvP yet I still get badges when I lose and I'm collecting titles as a result.

However, ask me anything you like about the PvE content or the various Festivals and I can probably give you a much more accurate and detailed answer than most others.

Having a high quest ranking is a good measure of you needing professional help. What is wrong with someone that runs all over Dragonfang Ridge for days, never to see another player, doing dailys that 100 of which might move your experience bar, paying noobs to wound mobs so you can capture them because you one shot them naked, doing "Meat and Eyes" for mats to make items that are 25 levels below you...

hey! i worked very hard for my rank >< not easy maintaining 2795th in quests


takes rigorous conditioning

Once you start getting into the top 30, getting another title becomes very difficult. I usually am somewhere in the 20-15 range.

Personally, from the perspective of a GL, having people in the guild who have high quest completion/titles is helpful. There are many quests that if you haven't done them before can hang you up. We have all I am sure had to ask someone where da hell morrok is right? Knowing wich quests bug, are bugged, unable to be completed, need hard to find items to complete, these are all thing the folks with the high quest and title count can help with and do. I am one of those and soon as the servers are back up ill try to get a screenie. not number 1 in title or quests anymore, think im 5 in quests now but I lack all the crafting quests and titles as well as ive never done any of the festival events for titles either. but yea, I went to dragonfang on a lvl 55 mage to track down all the titles there. when u run out of quests to do, dailies are done and no one is on to even think about running anything, why not hunt down those hidden quests and titles?

I spent a week searching for morok after limo

Well, since camagic necro'd this one and there's one interesting point here that hasn't been replied yet..

I am still surprised when some endgamers say they think titles are a waste of time and energy. That person with 500 titles gets 5 hp for each title so has free 2500 hp, add the calculations for buffs and it is even more. This is free hp on top of stats gear etc.. Seems well worth it to me.

If title hunting is what you find enjoyable, by all means go for it.

If you are so very endgame that all the remaining growth options are time-inefficient, then by all means do titles for HP.

If it's convenient to do just a little something more for a title, sweet go for it.

But otherwise, no.

You're going to get some of those titles naturally from just playing the game. Let's pretend you get 100. I have no idea if that's a good estimate, but I'm betting it's a low estimate. So the title hunter with 500 titles has 2000 HP more than someone who hasn't tried at all.

Now let's pretend that 2000 HP can be doubled from buffs. Trying to be generous on the estimate again, I actually think it's less. Then you have 4000 HP more. Grats, that's slightly more than the HP ghost stat on 1 top item. Endgame players of every class can hit 200k HP. Healers/tanks 300k. Tip top 500k HP. So your hunting for 400 titles netted you maybe 1% to 2%.

Now think of the enormous time it would take to find those 400 titles - and not the easy titles that everyone gets just playing the game. Could you really not find gear upgrades, a new zodiac pet, a new food/potion, a pile of cards you don't have yet, level your secondary class higher, level your pet, or some combination of that? (Note: cards are almost the same situation as titles, just tradeable.) Chances are, most any of that is more time-efficient than hunting the difficult titles.

The folks I know that are pretty high on title rankings often have large gaps in their gear. They enjoy the title hunting, so it's good for them. But in terms of pure power gaming the gear etc is the way to go.

I have to agree about the convenience issue. For most, I would recommend just getting most the quest related titles, which is around 350-400 titles. It is a break from the mem/eoj/card grinds, but the time for some titles(ie dee-dee rabbit) would be much better spent on other stuff.

From simple enjoyment to be top on the server (in both in his case) to the fact that he is 'completing the game' ... imho he enjoys questing and that is all that matters...

I am far behind...

Reni Server currently:

Titles - Doomed at 505 w/ second at 491.
Quests - Moroon at 4781 w/ second at 4780.

You could always create an alt on each server to take a peak too. ;-)

I was looking through the title tab and came across a new one called "additional skill sys850515_name" and was wondering if anyone knows aything about this title? It was not there a few weeks back (last time i looked at title tab) so it probably came with last patch. There is not any description or even any words written when you view it.

I will try and post a pic later.

Thank you

Vesuvious

It sounds like new content. I see under challenge->instances section some sys name titles. The same thing has happened with tb, rorazan, chrysalia, tundra. They put alot of the code in there, and (hopefully) fill in names later.
