I'm curious about something, and I apologize in advance if it is in the wrong section. As it sort of fits in both Tyria and Cantha. These listings are taken directly from Guild Wiki, so i'm making sure before I go off to hunting elites.
Skill Hunter
Granted to a character who has acquired 90 elite skills.
Adept Skill Hunter
Granted to a character who has acquired 135 elite skills.
Advanced Skill Hunter
Granted to a character who has acquired 180 elite skills.
From looking at the skill listings for elites for each class, in Tyria you have a possible of:
Warrior = 16
Necromancer = 14
Mesmer = 14
Monk = 15
Ranger = 15
Elementalist = 15
Total = 79
So according to these, unless my math is wrong or the skill listings I found are wrong, it is impossible to attain even the first level of "Skill Hunter" in Tyria alone. This raises yet another question though, if we do capture all the skills in Tyria, how many are in Cantha right now? The answer to this, based again off of Guild Wiki is:
Warrior = 10
Necromancer = 10
Mesmer = 10
Monk = 10
Ranger = 10
Elementalist = 10
Assassin = 15
Ritualist = 15
Total = 90
Complete total of both Cantha and Tyria elites, assuming you can capture every single one, and that the listings are correct: 169. Meaning that you cannot, again assuming these are factual, possibly as of now attain the highest level of said title. I'm curious if anyone has thought of this yet, as searching led me to no answers that I could obtain from the applicable threads.... Kinda interesting that even if you did all of them, as of now you can't possibly reach the highest level...unless updates are expected to add more skills or otherwise.... Hopefully this isn't a moronic question, or perhaps one that has already been answered.

Eh? Here's my count from the Guildwiki page:
Tyria
Warrior: 16
Ranger: 15
Monk: 15
Necro: 15
Mesmer: 14
Ele: 15
Total = 90
Cantha
Warrior: 10
Ranger: 10
Monk: 10
Necro: 10
Mesmer: 10
Ele: 10
Rit: 15
Assa: 15
Total = 90
Tyria (90) + Cantha (90) = 180
It's working as intended.

My mistake. I was going to say something about skills in Chapter 3, but it looks like I'll have to change my comment around, as you've shown that there are 90 skills per chapter right now.

Lol, i'm good. I must have mis-counted, I feel intelligent =P

You also have to get factions to complete the canthan explorer title. It just makes sense.
Bobby Bo Regis
So you have to capture the core elite skills twice then?
sedgewick
Well...technically you don't need a maximum title in in Skill Capturing, and you cannot get 100% exploration (to date) with a Tyrian anyways, so you really don't need to buy Ch.2.
This is assuming you're aiming for the "kind of a big deal" title.
You can max:
1. Treasure Hunting
2. Identifying (wisdom)
3. Exploration of Tyria
4. Protection of Tyria (missions+bonuses)
5. Drinking (if you have the money) or Fame (if you have the patience)
And another option would be to never die, but if you have a Tyrian with 4 maxed titles, I would assume you would have died at least once.
