The Skill Hunter title track is a character-based, campaign-specific title earned by acquiring all elite skills found in that campaign. The Legendary Skill Hunter title track is completed by completing all the Skill Hunter title tracks. These titles can be displayed in the "Honor" monument.

[edit] Acquisition

Simply acquiring an elite skill will contribute to the appropriate title track. Prior to the Nightfall campaign and later, the hard mode update, the only way to acquire an elite skill was to capture it using a Signet of Capture. In the Nightfall campaign, there is a special PvE-only elite that can be obtained via the Lightbringer rank (see notes below). The introduction of Elite Skill Tomes now allows characters to acquire elite skills that have already been unlocked.

[edit] Notes

• Currently, there are 295 elite skills in the game. All except Junundu Siege and the Norn blessings count towards one or more Skill Hunter titles.
• Campaign-specific elites count towards that continent's title only. There are 60 Prophecies-only elites to be captured in Tyria, 90 Factions-only elites in Cantha, and 111 Nightfall-only elites (including Lightbringer Signet) in Elona.
• The Lightbringer Signet counts towards the Elonian Skill Hunter track, but it is not obtained through the use of a Signet of Capture. It is the reward for obtaining the Brave Lightbringer title.
• You must have Ascended, become Weh no Su, or have completed the quest Hunted! to capture elites from other secondary professions.

Anomaly.

The Elonian Skill Hunter title is not truly campaign-specific, since it's impossible to capture ritualist and assassin skills without Factions.

[edit] Trivia

• Before the hard mode update, there was only one Skill Hunter title track, progressing from Skill Hunter → Adept Skill Hunter → Advanced Skill Hunter → Elite Skill Hunter → Expert Skill Hunter → Master Skill Hunter. Master Skill Hunter was never achievable as there were insufficient elite skills in the game at that time.
