Slayer Title Track

I think it'd be kind of cool to have a Slayer Title Track (name can be changed I don't care for names really), but it's where you kill every boss on that continent, including core bosses (IE bosses in FoW and UW)

This could be hard mode only or not, maybe not because some bosses are still incredibly hard to kill, and a more advanced title (IE legendary slayer) for hard mode may spice things up a bit for those that want to attempt this but don't have the complete skill to HM it.

Anyways, you kill every boss in (let's say) Elona, you get the Elonian Slayer Title. However, much like the Elite Skill Hunter Titles, you need to have killed every Core boss as well to obtain it.

(for those that don't know, to obtain a continent elite skill hunter title, you must capture every single skill on that continent plus all the core elites)

So to sum it all up, Slayer Title Track = Kill all bosses on continent + core bosses.


EotN should have it's own continent title track, instead of combining with tyria, because there are (of course) bosses in EotN not found anywhere else, and you shouldn't have to buy EotN to obtain the Elonian Slayer track.


Anyways, the only counter that I can really think of at this moment (im sure there are tons of counters), is that how can we keep track if we killed a boss or not. Well hopefully Anet can find a way to have a list or not, maybe like the dungeons handbook, but instead called a bosses handbook where each page or so is a certain region (and there are 4 books, 1 for each continent) saying the names of the bosses you've killed, and extra spaces filled with ???????????????, just letting you know there are more bosses in that region.



Anyways, if you could understand it all, lemme know what you think. Good or Bad?

I will not sign this idea because it ties in with too many current titles such as:
The Legendary Skill Hunter Title.
Legendary Vanquisher.
Legendary Cartographer.

Get my concerns? It will be a natural title that will be easy to get.

What the guy above me said.

It is far to similar to the Legendary Skill Hunter Title.

I had a feeling people would say that. Let me counter that.


Go to wiki's elite skill page. Click on a skill, any random skill, MOST SKILLS have 2 or more bosses to obtain. I can kill about 1/3 of the bosses on elona and have the elite skill hunter track.

Being able to say I do have that title, there are a few bosses I have yet to even encounter in Elona.


EDIT: also let me add that you actually need money for the elite skill hunters (ie you need the cap sig), killing a boss requires no money.

its true that it kind of stacks with LSK.

however this is also a non issue since other titles also currently stack.

Vanquish - Cartography

Prot - Guardian

treasure salvage/chest open - luck/unluck

others i've missed i'm sure.

if it was to be a skill, then it would have to in HM, or else just doing LSK would result in u recieving legendary slayer...thus there should be a title for Tyria (proph), Cantha, and Elona

Also im assuming this includes bosses from earlier parts of the game...making it even more difficult to get (some bosses are hard when ur max party size is 4 lol...and in hard mode ><)

so yeah

Its different from Skill hunter because you kill bosses that are not your profession or secondary and you should still get recognition from killing the bosses. Also you should be recognised for traveling the continent and working to kill those bosses.

Another title that people will complain isn't account based.

It's basically the skill hunter title, except with your hardmode criteria or something.

please show me one of your Elite Skill Hunter titles, otherwise your post is ignored.


Like I said, it's NOT like skill hunter, I know, I have the title, and I haven't killed about 50% of the bosses.

No OP is saying ALL bosses in elona or where ever. not just that one map scene.


I will say /signed but i wonder how hard it would be to keep up with the bosses slain. As I dont think you could do it in one sitting. Also Perdition rock would take freaking forever

Another good point, some bosses don't spawn in certain areas unless something is done like a quest of mission (in tyria some bosses don't spawn unless you rezone and try again). Vanquisher doesn't require that you kill every single enemy

you'll have to explain it a little better to get my /sign, mainly how you will be able to keep track of who's been killed and whose yet to be killed. skill hunter is easy, as if you don't have the skill, you haven't killed that boss.

a book would be nice ^^

book? if you mean like eotn quest/dungeon who would you be turning that book into? yourself?

the title should just add a percentage or point to a title such as skill hunter did. and you should be able to mark off yourself in a real life book which ones you did. heck, i can do that. i got a list of skill caps, and crossed them off by hand when i got them.

since this requires no money, even if you didnt know which ones you killed, it would not mark off if you redid one on accident.

i like the idea, but on the other hand, it seems like a waste of time. there are already enough things like vanquishing and guardian and all that. i mean even skill hunter seemed like a big huge waste of time to me: really tedious and costly.

if you need something else to do and got every single title available, then do stuff on another character. no other character you say? hmm. make a new one? lol...or try to get max glad, champ, and hero...those are always ...fun to try to get :/

but if this becomes a new title, just do not include presearing. otherwise excluding majority of the players.

yes a book like that, it dosn't make it easier after all one can use real life notation, windowed notepad/ wiki skill list, or simply a ingame book (which btw would not tell you where the bosses are just which ones you have killed).

the book is to answer Shiishii Momos question.

/sort of signed.

I like the idea of it, and it has a nice RP feel to it in as much as you have an objective and accomplishment that makes you a "Slayer", but in NM it would be a bit easy to get (comparitively) than HM, which then makes it stack with Vanquisher.

But as has been pointed out, some titles already stack so that shouldn't really matter.

Also We have "Slayer of" title already.

What about bosses that appear on non-repeatable quests that the majority of characters would have already completed? (Reversing the Skales...?)

three approaches to that problem:

1. Its a one shot title,like LDOA or Survivor.

2. Non repeatable quest bosses are excluded from the quota.

3. Title is Account based.

seeing the hoo haa that (1) and (3) carry i suppose (2) is the most viable.

Or make all quests repeatable (for smaller rewards, of course).... Is there a thread on that already? That would have a lot of significance (especially to farming and vanquishing) outside of this topic.

That is why having succinct Thread Titles is primary to getting your point across! After all nobody reads the OP after the first page, surely you know that!

Which also makes the title an extension to Vanquishing once again. All you would have to do is get legendary vanquisher and go take out a couple Realm of Torment bosses and poof, theres 4 more titles for KoaBD.

If this title did somehow get implemented, I can forsee the complaining already. Imagine the amount of people complaining about Mallyx being too hard.

i think its a good idea cause whats the point of bosses if they have no elite or drop no greens? besides, it'll allow a character to explore more of the continent and have fun while doing it instead of just running to every corner of a map for the exploration title. Same thing w/ vanquish titles, you just clear an area and then you go on to the next. Your killing bosses anyway. And say you kill ever boss on every continent in every place imaginable, that would be a damn good title. theres no titles for vanquishing UW or FoW, so i say this is a good idea.

the norn title track is called slayer anyway
it would be yet another tree title to vanquisher(cartographer is already one of them)
plus it'd be another "make it account based" thread

You cant just make a title for every accomplishment, or else everyone will be asking for a title for every insignificant thing. Plus it has too much corrilation with legendary vanquisher.

Nah... it would benice to have titles for killing different races, but with no max. Just to track the info, but not much than that.

Or something like a bestiray book, that gets one eantry eny time you kill a boss of one race.
