How to Unlock Season One PvP Titles In WoW: The War Within

The easiest of the PvP Titles to unlock are tied to your PvP rating. You can increase your rating by playing Rated PvP, which you can access via the group finder under the player vs player tab once the season begins. The titles and their corresponding rating are as follows:

  • “Combatant” – 1000 Rating
  • “Challenger” – 1400 Rating
  • “Rival” – 1800 Rating
  • “Duelist” – 2100 Rating

You’ll also need to raise your rating to 2400 (Elite Rank) in order to earn a season exclusive “the Elite” title. Elite rank is necessary to earn the next set of PvP titles. These require a certain number of wins in different Rated PvP modes while maintaining an Elite rating:

  • “Gladiator” – Win 50 matches in 3v3 Arena battles at Elite rank.
  • “Legend” – Win 100 Rated Solo Shuffle rounds at Elite rank.
  • “Strategist” – Win 25 Battleground Blitz matches at Elite rank.

The next challenge is unlocking the coveted “Forged” set of titles. “Forged” titles require you to be in the top 0.1% of players at the end of the season in various rated PvP modes. Like the previous set of titles, these will also require a certain number of wins before you’re eligible to earn them:

  • “Forged Legend” – Top 0.1% of all players in Solo Shuffle. Requires 50 wins in Season One.
  • “Forged Gladiator” – Top 0.1% of all players in 3v3 Arena. Requires 150 wins in Season One.
  • “Forged Warlord” (Horde) / “Forged Marshal” (Alliance) – Top 0.1% of all players in Rated Battleground Blitz. Requires 50 wins in Season One.
