How are "Custom" titles "Criminal" titles, or "Lore" titles, or "Shield" titles... etc, etc, etc...? If so, how?

I thought Custom titles was something given on special occasions?

Custom titles are bought. Either through RL cash for Premium, or 1 plat (and RL cash) for TF.

The only 'special situation' custom titles I've seen are marraige pre-titles (payed for) that only last till you log off, or other various 'till log off' titles.

I meet these requirements, but don't have the title.

I do not meet these requirements, but do have the title. I recently got it when I hit 275 in stalking, which was the only thing I otherwise lacked for it.

Solomon is working on fixing the titles... seems some of the "stealing" reqs are in fact supposed to be "stalking" or vice versa.
Reply
Re: Title Pages Updated 04/26/2007 03:58 PM CDT
As mentioned in the latest announcement, the "Snake" series in particular (and a couple of others) all have their Stalking Req listed as a Stealing req, due to a lovely "Search and Replace" mistake on my part when I was updating the new page.

This is getting fixed shortly.

And yes, Ambush Slit is Ambush Sight.

That should be getting fixed shortly as well.

Not 100% about this but I don't think Slip 7 exists. Or Slip 6 for that matter. Course maybe it does sense I don't have:

Double-Crosser
Must have All Slips
Must have All Voice Throws

And I have all the thrown voice abilities.

Thief Title Page Fixed 04/26/2007 04:52 PM CDT
The main problem with the Thief Title Page has been fixed. All the titles that had two Stealing reqs or titles that incorrectly had a Stealing Req instead of a Stalking req have been fixed.

Any additional problems should be posted in the Thief Guild Title Suggestions topic in the Thieves category and I'll get to them as time allows. I just made sure we updated this particular problem ASAP because it was pretty major.

Solomon, I sent you an email about titles I shouldn't have.

Also, there are two instances of Swindler.

Swindler
At least 35 ranks in Stealing
At least 35 ranks in Evasion
At least 16 points in Charisma

Swindler
At least 50 ranks in Stealing
At least 20 points in Charisma
At least 60 ranks in Perception
At least 20 ranks in Escaping

There still isn't a title that fits me well enough to like. Ah well. =P

Re: Title Pages Updated 04/26/2007 09:14 PM CDT
First, I just want to say thank you for all of the new title information! I definitely have new goals!

Second, in conjunction with the new Thief/Criminal title requirements, I was hoping if more information about fake guild reqs could be posted as well. I'm afraid that some of the descriptions simply aren't accurate anymore. For example:

<< Barbarian Pretend Titles substitute 125% Backstab Skill for the Weapon requirement and 125% Weapon Skill for the Armor requirement. Charisma is substituted for Dance and Berserk related abilities. >>

It was posted that the Dance/Berserk titles now have circle requirements, too. It'd be nice if that information was shared. It would also be nice if there was some elaboration on the requirements for the Roar/War Cry titles.

Also, I'm confused as to why I have a title such as Bloodboiler (Req: Able to berserk Flame), but not Flame Berserker (Req: Able to berserk Flame, At least 35 points in stamina) when I meet the additional stat requirement posted. Titles in the old system seem to factor in the stat requirement (EX: Marauder - At least 110 ranks in Highest Worn-Armor, At least 140 ranks in Highest Weapon, At least 32 points in Strength).

Other examples where I seemingly meet the req, but do not have the title, include: Blood Berserker, Cyclone Berserker, Stone Berserker, Nightmare Berserker, Student of Kuniyo, Student of Everild, Student of Trothfang, and some others.

Is the system simply not checking our stats properly to grant us the newer titles, or are we just not allowed to have them? An answer would be appreciated, as I'm rather confused.

Lastly, I would again like to petition that we be granted access to fake titles if we have achieved the actual guild requirement. I know this is probably a difficult undertaking because the SBT system is so complicated, but it only makes sense that if we have attained the actual ranks (no faking required), we should be rewarded with the guise.

Thank you, again, for all the hard work. :)

Degenerate

Maverick
Must have Contact - Boltholes

I have Slip I but no Degenerate title. Also, I dont have that specific Contact (assuming it's the one used in Riverhaven) yet I have the Maverick title. Just a heads up.

Shouldn't criminal titles with a backstab requirement be moved into the thief category? I've always thought that a bit odd.

theres a number of other titles like that in other "general" categories. for instance, the survival3 titles that require scouting. Obviously you have to be a ranga to get those, etc.
And theres one that requires you to be a cleric as well in Survival1 <undertaker>

I don't know why, but I think this was something we tried putting in and it broke things, so we took it back out until it can be made not to break things.

Although I may be thinking of something else entirely.

Ranger Pretend Titles 05/07/2007 03:08 PM CDT
Can someone please check the ranger pretend titles? They don't seem to be checking scholarship.

>>Perception at 140% was substituted for the Scouting requirement. Other Stealth skills were substituted where necessary at 130%. Scholarship at 130% was used in place of Animal Lore, and Charisma is used for spells and Beseeches. Other Survival skills are kept identical.

For example, I didn't get wildling until I actually filled the animal lore req for it.

Wildling
At least 25 ranks in Scouting
At least 10 ranks in Animal Lore

Once I hit the 10 ranks in actual animal lore it showed up. Another thief who has more scholarship than me and a HECK of a lot more perception doesn't have the 10 ranks in animal lore and doesn't have this title available.
