Rank

This article is about the rank for individual characters. For rank of an attribute, see Attribute. For rank of a guild, see Guild rating.

Deer Emote

Wolf Emote

Tiger Emote

Phoenix Emote

Rank is gained through fame and describes the success in the Heroes' Ascent tournament. It is shared between all characters on the same account. When a certain amount of fame points is attained a new rank is attained. The amount of fame points needed for each rank is listed in the following table. When rank 3 and above is reached a new emote is unlocked every 3 ranks which reflects the current rank. This makes it possible to show other players the rank. Another way of showing the rank is to go in the Hero screen into the Title tab, and check for the Title you want to be displayed. The "Title" option is available for display when you have achieved rank 3 or higher.

The emotes are shown using the commands /fame and /rank.

Note: Rank cannot be gained through faction.

Rank discrimination

Most teams, while forming a group at the Heroes' Ascent, do not accept new members below a certain rank. This is mainly due to the perception of many players that all players without a rank emote must be either newbies or otherwise not good enough to compete in the tournament. It follows that earning a rank emote and title will help you find a pick-up group at the Heroes' Ascent. Finding a good, active PvP-oriented Guild can be greatly helpful in gaining this initial experience and rank.

Rank spoofing

Some people, in an effort to appear more competent than they are, buy ranked accounts from other players. They then claim to be skilled players by showing rank emotes in Heroes' Ascent in order to impress other players or to get into pick-up groups. This buying and selling of accounts is a violation of the License Agreement that all players agree to.

Formula

The code for rank formula is:

rank(n) = 7776 * ( 5 / 3 )^n-10

Using the formula the rank table would be:
