[edit] Prophecies Only
The elite skill chart had an addition error - there are 60 Prophecies elites, and 30 Core elites, so a Prophecies-only player can cap 90 elites and attain the first tier of Skill Hunter. So I'm going to chop out the comment to the effect they can't, because that is in error. -- Dawn
- Addition never was my strong suit... thanks.--Vladtheemailer 08:42, 9 February 2007 (PST)
I have to admire the difference in number to get each rank: 1st Rank = 90 elites, 2nd Rank = +45 more, 3rd Rank = +45 more, 4th Rank = +55 more, 5th Rank = +55 more, and the 6th Rank = +90 more. You see? from rank 0 to rank 1 is 90, and from rank 5 to rank 6 its 90, and its an average of 50 per rank for the other ones :( 68.104.205.160 15:54, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
This page needs serious editing. With hard mode, I'm sure some people have maxed some titles (if not all 4). I'd do the changes and get the credits for it, except I'm at work!
[edit] this doesn't exist anymore...
delete? or are we going to keep articles about things that don't exist anymore in some kind of archive? maybe a special category and template to indicate it is a feature that is no longer present --Lemming64 21:08, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
- its still considered skill hunter and i just changed it for the new titles, didn't see this comment before change MrKnez 21:47, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
[edit] No Factions?
Is it possible to get the Nightfall skill hunter title without having Factions? The way I see it, there are several elites for Ritualists/Assassins in Nightfall, which you wouldn't be able to cap without a Factions account. Or am I missing something?
- You can get the Skill Hunter title for the games you own. All the elites are contained in that game, including cores, and skills for other professions. You'd have to cap the rit & sin skills as secondary profession, which you can change at profession changers. Alaris 14:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- To me it seems like he'S right, you can't have secondary rit or sin if you don't have Factions --74.59.237.118 16:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Good point, can you get access to secondary rit or assassin through nightfall without a factions account? --Lemming
16:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- I admit, I don't know. There is a profession changer in Battle Isles that you can use regardless of the campaigns you own (provided you ascended), but I don't know if that profession changer will allow you access to rit/sin if you don't own Factions. Alaris 18:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's been a while, and there's an anomaly sign now about this... but has the issue been resolved? I own all campaigns, so I cannot test it. We need someone with NF but not Factions to try to cap rit or sin skills. He might have to change professions at the Battle Isles if it doesn't work in NF. Alaris 04:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have NF, EOTN, and PROF but not FACT, is is not possible to change my profession to sin or rit. I can't get the title. I think this is a problem. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:204.39.240.103 (talk).
- True, but that's the way it works. There's probably no feasible way to make this change, since the title does not take profession into account. In hindsight, given that each campaign was meant to be standalone, it was probably not a good decision to include ritualists and assassins in Nightfall PvE. The new skills could've been introduced as PvP unlockables, or back-added to Factions PvE. -- ab.er.rant

[edit] cleanup
why? did I miss something. what do eye of the north skills have to do with this title? --Lemming
23:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
it what i thinked but was not sure and was not sure if im authorized or not to put a change on other page...it why im on the history..wanted to remove the cleanup ....Warzy 01:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] remove cleanup
talked alot with fews peoples and this titles still work,not know why Dragon legacy wanted to cleanup that but ...
cleanup removed.
message me if i miss something.. Warzy 21:21, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- The numbers are incorrect. According to the list, GWEN brings 3 new elite skills into the game. I called them "norn blessings". I will be raising any numbers about elite skills by 3 whenever it seems appropriate. ~ dragon legacy 01:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Switching Classes?
How are you suppose to get all of the elite skills if the signet of capture will only work on your primary and secondary classes? If anyone could answer please let me know! Thanks --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:76.88.105.185 .
- You can switch your secondary class. --Lemming 12:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- More specifically, once you get to a certain point in the game (Ascend in Tyria, become closer to the stars in Cantha, do the quest Hunted in Elona), you get the ability to switch your secondary profession. You can for example go to the battle isles to "buy" the other secondary professions, then you can change at will. Alaris 20:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- You can't switch your secondary to Rit or Sin if you don't have factions, although you can still unlock the nightfall elites for those professions using Balthazar Faction. Unsure if this adds to the title or not...
- Unlocking elites does not add to the title. You need to unlock, and then use an elite tome for each skill. --

[edit] Lightbringer Signet
I believe they have fixed the bug. When I acquired my Lightbringer signet I saw my title track move from 26 --> 27. I will be removing from article if there are no objections. (If I forget to come back, someone else can remove it...) --Chris Burnham 23:42, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eye of the north add to tittle?
Eye of the north has elite skills from proph,nightfall,factions if captured with a sig in eye of the north will it count as cathing it for the individual tittles?.
Ex i cap barrage in eye of the north do i get the point for capping a proph skill? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Atrix .
- Yes. Because you're essentially capping a Prophecies elite. -- ab.er.rant 06:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Core skills like Barrage count towards all three Skill Hunter titles, regardless of where you cap it from. I can confirm that this is true for elites capped in any of the 3 campaigns, so I assume it is true as well of elites captured in GW:EN. Alaris 18:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Elites captured in GW:EN count towards the title tract for the campaign the elite is from. So for example you capture an elite that is from Factions only, that would count towards the title for that campaign just as if you had captured it in Cantha.(Zypher Wynn 02:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC))
[edit] I'm confused
I do not own Nightfall yet I have 4 of the Elonian Title track points. I do not own Factions yet I have 4 of the canthan Title track points. Why? --Worldly Tutor 04:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Core skills count on all tracks. -

[edit] Elite Skill Tome & Skill Hunter Title
Is the Skill Hunter title updated when using an Elite Skill Tome?
If not, then it is possible to have the Skill Hunter title impossible to master because of the use of an Elite Tome, nah?
--
RAd1cAl_EdwArd 22:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, the Skill Hunter title is updated when you use an Elite Tome. --Valshia 22:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Level 5 Character with Legendary Skill Hunter?
Tell me I'm wrong. Take a Tyrian character doing only the minimal to get out of pre searing and then go to Cantha and ascend there. Then if you're rich enough buy a bunch of elite tomes and get Legendary Skill Hunter on a level 5. Are there any flaws in my plan? The point of ascending is to change your secondary profession for the title and along with that if you are even rich enough you can wear fissure armor at level 5 since you'll be able to enter the realm of the gods.
Wouldn't that be cool? You'd be a real Nimros the Hunter, although you'd be 3 levels higher. I challenge someone to ascend at an even lower level if possible and tell how.
- They'd have to get to rank 3 of Lightbringer for Lightbringer Signet.
Sounds Risky | 04:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter as of the update today... =D
- don't you get xp for capturing an elite? Even if it is with a tome? Well anyway, just get a lv 1 char from proph to cantha, ask a friend to run the quest and missions for you (you stay at the beginning so you don't get xp from monsters and only get standard reward from the missions), you should be lv 4 then i think. 13:14, 16 december 2008

[edit] 141/140
It seems that if you got Lightbringer Signet when it was an elite, you still get the additional skill capture on your Elonian title track. That means that you really would have to capture 139 elite skills and have gotten Lightbringer Signet to get to 140/140. --Rykker Mohrah 14:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Is this correct? If so, that means that I could skip capturing one elite skill. :o --66.252.176.74 21:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] question
i see alot of like faction elites in nightfall and im guessing there core skills, but my question is far can u get in the skill hunter for prof and factions if u just go threw nightfall —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.85.230.85 (talk • contribs) at 04:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC).
- There are only 30 Core elite skills. This is mentioned in the "Notes" section. Btw, it's "through" not "threw". -- ab.er.rant 04:13, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Tips?
I think there should be a tip section that talks about what eiltes are better to get via Elite Tome.75.165.125.104 07:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I can't provide a list, but here's some ideas... Some bosses share their spawn point with many other bosses, so even getting to them does not guarantee that they'll be there. This is even more problematic for bosses in remote locations, or at the end of long or difficult missions. So a general way to go about it would be to get all the easy ones / bosses that happen to spawn, and keep the books for the last few ones when you're getting fed up with trying to get skill X. -- Alaris 14:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Prophecies skills are the hardest, so if you were talking bout using Elite Tomes, I would like to think skills like Feast Of Corruption would be listen down, but most of the skills are fairly easy to cap, just time consuming, seeing that wiki has maps of where all the bosses are DarthD 09:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- Some prophecies skills are long to get to, especially those at the end of snake's pass (or something) or at the end of a long mission. Most skills in Factions and Nightfall are fun to get, except perhaps for the last few missions which may be too difficult for some players. I'd still keep the tome for the end, where you can more easily decide whether you'd rather go for the long path, or the more difficult path. -- Alaris 02:50, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] tomes
This may have appeared on the talk or main page, but if so I missed it. If I get the skill via a tomb, will it count, or do I have to cap it with a signet? jhgaylor 10:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yes it counts 81.106.16.151 21:10, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Miscalculation?
Right, I might just have missed something... but it seems my Elonian Skill Hunter title track isn't counting one of my skills. I have captured Expert's Dexterity, Burning Arrow, Prepared Shot, Light of Deliverance, Contagion, Reaper's Mark, Icy Shackles, Avatar of Balthazar, Avatar of Dwayna, Avatar of Grenth, Avatar of Melandru, Pious Renewal and Reaper's Sweep, all from Nightfall. in addition I have the core skills Barrage, Shield of Regeneration and Grenth's Balance. I make that 13+3=16 skills for the title track. The game makes it 15. Now, i might just be missing something, of course. But the figures for the Canthan and Tyrian titles are correct, so I'm rather at a loss here. Any thoughts? -- FoaT 04:43, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Silly me. Reaper's Sweep was Melonni's, not mine. -- FoaT 13:40, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
