Titles are an in-game representation of the achievements of your character or account. Some titles are earned per account while some are per character. You can display only one title at a time, although you can have several titles that you are working towards concurrently.
Each title has its own title progression bar that is displayed in the Hero Window.
In-game Effect
Presently, there are no effects to titles acquired or maxed. However, Guild Wars Nightfall will introduce effects for some titles. For example, the Wisdom Title track (see below) will give your character the ability to salvage a weapon upgrade off a weapon without destroying the weapon. (See here for more details.)
Account-based Titles
These titles are given to all characters on the same account.
Champion title track
These titles are granted to an account that has won a number of high-rated GvG battles.
Title High-rated GvG battles won Champion 25 Fierce Champion 50 Mighty Champion 100 Deadly Champion 168 Terrifying Champion 280 Conquering Champion 466 Subjugating Champion 755
- Notes: Both guilds involved must have a rating of 1200 or more for the battle to be considered high-rated. (Update (Friday July 7) changed from 1500 to 1200). Also the ladder must NOT be frozen to earn this title
Gladiator title track
These titles are granted to an account with a number of streaks of consecutive wins in the Random and Team Arenas. You gain one point everytime you get a consecutive win of ten or more.
Title Winning Streaks needed Gladiator 25 Fierce Gladiator 50 Mighty Gladiator 100 Deadly Gladiator 168 Terrifying Gladiator 280 Conquering Gladiator 466 Subjugating Gladiator 755
- Notes: These titles are not retroactive; that is, the streaks must have been won after the release of Guild Wars Factions.

The Hero, Gladiator, and Champion titles now confer a benefit to players who earn them. Gaining ranks in these titles increases the maximum cap of unspent Balthazar’s faction. The cap increases by 2,000 faction points for each of the first five ranks of the Hero title and 5,000 faction points for each subsequent rank, and the cap increases by 5,000 faction points for each rank of the Gladiator and Champion titles earned.
Allegiance title track
These titles are granted to an account for transferring faction to an alliance:

Character-based titles
These titles are given to a single specific (PvE) character.
Skill Hunter title track
These titles are granted to a character for acquiring elite skills:
Title Elite skills captured: Skill Hunter 90 Adept Skill Hunter 135 Advanced Skill Hunter 180 Expert Skill Hunter 235
- Notes: As of the state of the game currently, there are only 180 elites skills available for skill capture. The next tier, Expert, can only be assumed to be in existence because of new elites being available in future campaigns (such as the upcoming "Nightfall"). Hence, this title cannot be maxed until Nightfall is released. Preliminary information indicates that 110 new elite skills will be added with "Nightfall", allowing characters to aquire up to 290 elite skills.
Exploration title track
- Exploration of Tyria/Cantha/Elona
- Character-specific, based on how much of the Tyrian/Canthan/Elonian map is explored.
Title % of Tyria/Cantha/Elona explored Explorer 60% Pathfinder 70% Trailblazer 80% Cartographer 90% Master Cartographer 95% Grandmaster Cartographer
(Max level)100%
- Notes: Areas that count for this title are only the ones which show up on the main map of Tyria/Cantha/Elona. This excludes Realms of the Gods, Pre-Searing, and of course, the Battle Isles. Old Tyrian arenas, that are no longer reachable do count. However, there is a little leeway granted for reaching these titles. Players do not have to actually uncover every last corner of the map to reach 100%. See Grandmaster cartography guide for more information.
Mission completion title track
These titles are granted to a character for completing all missions of a campaign at the highest possible reward level
Title Campaign Missions completed: Req. Reward Level Protector of Tyria Prophecies 25
(incl. Doppelganger battle)incl. bonus Protector of Cantha Factions 13 Master's Reward Protector of Elona Nightfall 20 Master's Reward
- Note: Each of the titles listed in the table above is actually an individual, independent title track, with only one level, which is the highest tier, counting for the "Kind Of A Big Deal" title track.
Drunkard title track
These titles are granted to a character for spending time drunk:
Title Minutes spent drunk: Drunkard 1,000 Incorrigible Ale-Hound
(Max level)10,000
Treasure Hunting title track
These titles are granted to a character for opening "high-end" chests:
Title High-end Chests opened: Treasure Hunter 100 Adept Treasure Hunter 250 Advanced Treasure Hunter 550 Expert Treasure Hunter 1,200 Elite Treasure Hunter 2,500 Master Treasure Hunter 5,000 Grandmaster Treasure Hunter
(Max level)10,000
The Treasure Hunter title now confers a benefit to players who earn them. For each rank of either title earned, the chance of an item not being destroyed when salvaging a magical upgrade component is increased by 3 percent from a base of 50 percent.
- Note: A "high-end" chest can be identified by the cost of the key to open that chest type. If the key normally costs 600 or more from a merchant, then the types of chest that key opens would be classified as high-end and count towards this title. Also, assuming you bought all the keys from merchants at 600g, you would be paying 6,000,000g for all 10,000 chests you need for the Grandmaster Treasure Hunter title.
Wisdom title track
These titles are granted to a character for identifying rare items:
Title Rare items identified: Seeker of Wisdom 100 Collector of Wisdom 250 Devotee of Wisdom 550 Devourer of Wisdom 1,200 Font of Wisdom 2,500 Oracle of Wisdom 5,000 Source of Wisdom
(Max level)10,000
The Seeker of Wisdom title now confers a benefit to players who earn them. For each rank of either title earned, the chance of an item not being destroyed when salvaging a magical upgrade component is increased by 3 percent from a base of 50 percent.
Survivor title track
To gain the following titles, you must obtain the experience required and the command /deaths
must return a zero. Once the title is earned, it will not be lost upon death. However, your progression towards the next title halts once you die.
Title Experience gained without dying: Survivor 140,600 Indomitable Survivor 587,500 Legendary Survivor
(Max level)1,337,500
Note: Deaths caused by failing a mission, resigning, and being killed in a mission by a forced event (such as the tutorial death on the Shing Jea Island) do not count towards this. Also, it is not known if this is coincidental, but the first four numbers of the legendary survivor title are 1337 implying that the player must be "leet" to gain it.
The Survivor title is achieved at level 20. The higher titles are to be gained between just before "levels" 50 and 100, however, the Legendary survivor title is skewed a bit to reflect the "1337-ness" of whoever gets it.
