Librarian Title Suggestion

So Hard mode hits, and we get new skill tomes! yay! now, its pretty much obvious that since we get this new "skill tome mechanic", there's room for a new shiny title?

what i suggest is for each tome a player reads it awards progress towards the librarian title, plz offer feedback/ideas on this posibility.

/signed (nothing to say, this idea speaks for itself, and there are no percevable downsides.)

But what if you can't "read" the tome, due to the fact that you have every skill already? Or what if tier 4 required 200, and you only had 100 more skills left to get. You would end up unable to go to 200 because there are no skills left that you don't have.

then it wuold have to be an account-based title.

@logan: if this title were to be implemented then the title should be divided into tiers totaling the number of available skills up to date, for example the skill hunter title got divided so it can have max tiers, i believe the same would apply here.

eg. canthan master librarian (for all cantha based skills learned thru tomes)

also regarding the fact that u wouldn't make the title if u already have the skills: the same happened with skill hunter, i dont see that being an obstacle to get this title implemented. ^^

it already counts towards the skill hunter title

true, but what its being suggested here is not about elite skills, but about ANY skill tome read by the player (by read i mean any skill learnt from a tome).

No.

Why not? Because it can't be attained by too many characters.
So, what if your character has already all skills? You can't get it.

What survivor? Yeah... you have to create a new character for a Survivor, yes.... BUT when survivor was added, there was already Death:0 characters, and they got the title.

Make it an accound-based title?
Nope, nope, way too PvE to be account based.

Why not just make a title based on total skill knowledge? Tomes are just a way to get skills. We have an elite skill hunter title, one could see the place for a "full unlock" title.

I don't really think it's needed, but I have ~800 skills on my ranger, and it would be an incentive to finish up the skill collection I guess.

It's a good idea. Maybe each time a tome is dropped you get a point towards the title, much like the golden eggs counted towards the Treasure Hunter title on easter

ME like a LOT^^ good thinking dude.

I love books and I love librarians, but I think this ^^ idea might be better. Give people who have UAX a title, even those who learned via faction vs by shelling out hundreds of platinum.

Tomes are just an easy way for your monk (for example) to get skill hunter in Tyria without slogging through to Dreadnaught's Drift for Feast of Corruption like your necro had to.

I don't think it's a bad idea, but I don't think it's needed, instead it's a bit redundant. imho

How about we do NOT add more titles. I fairly doubt you have all possible titles maxed already. How about you go and get those?

because some people have already obtained all the skills if not a large amount of them already, this title should be based off of the total number of tomes in possession.

^ not in possesion

I say dropped like eggs

A scholar title for learning all non-elite skills in a profession or per campaign is a great idea.

I have 600 on my warrior already

im with him on this...my warrior already has every warrior skill in the game and all of the monk non-elites (i don't know if a warrior can use a monk tome though) and if there was a title for this im sure i wouldnt be able to get it maxed out.

/notsigned

hhmm i agree with the books picked up award a point towards the titel idea.

now for those ppl who think, "hey since i cant get the title, its not a good idea", hear this: it's not a good thing to dump a good idea just cuz u wont be able to get it.

and for those who think the game doesnt need more titles: well everyone can have something they might like, so its not a bad thing to have variety, u might not like more titles, but remember this: its not only u who log and play GW, there could be other ppl who like this idea.

i also agree with the fact the some players might not get the title therefore, imo, having the title be about books found (a la golden egg hunt) sounds like a terryfic idea to me.

/signed for scholar title

/unsigned for librarian

the scholar title would be better as the tomes can go towards it too. This way even the people who have maxed skills can still get the title.

~the rat~

Hehe, I couldn't care less about more titles, but the thought of a 'Bookwyrm' title amuses me.
