What are Titles

Titles in Guild Wars are a way to show off a player’s achievements and accomplishments in the game. There are a total of 44 different title tracks across all the Guild Wars campaigns; Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. However, players can only achieve a maximum of 43 on any given character. The two titles that collide with each other are Survivor and Defender of Ascalon. You cannot get Defender of Ascalon without dying and you cannot die to get Survivor. So to get one the character will miss out on getting the other.

Titles are displayed under the Guild Wars character’s name. To view titles in progress or to see those that are completed tap the “h” key while in game and a screen will come up with a tab that allows you an overview of all your titles. Players can also change which title is displayed on their character from this screen as well.

Treasure Hunter Title

The Treasure Hunter title is a core title in the Guild Wars game that does not directly deal with any specific campaign but instead with high end chests being opened and Golden Eggs being dropped during the Spring months as an Easter celebration item. Each chest counts individually towards the point total. Golden Eggs are only dropped once a year. At times Guild Wars has been known to repeat their celebrations and events but no one knows when or if that will happen. If Guild Wars is going to repeat some event there will be a message on the game’s sign in page.

There are 7 ranks in the Treasure Hunting title track.

Besides hope and luck that lockpicks drop from the sky there will be a great deal of money spent on obtaining or trying to obtain the

Treasure Hunter title. Besides the money aspect players need to know the correct places to farm these high end chests. The trick is that anything hard mode will be high end so only go farming in hard mode areas. This way no matter what chest you see or where you are it will be one you need. Look for areas that have chests near portals or exits to make things a little faster. Chests tend to spawn in what seems like randon locations but typically they are always going to spawn in the same general areas. The Snowman dungeon and Kilroy’s solo dungeon in Gunnars Hold are good farming locations for high end treasure chests.

Solo farms can be used during the Easter celebration to gather Golden Eggs quickly. This method will not work for maxing out the title but does give a small break from the treasure chest grind.
