[edit] Acquisition

Sunspear points can be earned by:

• Completing quests that award Sunspear points.
• By killing specific creature types while under the effects of a bounty (the amount depends on the region and whether it's normal or hard mode).
• Turning in normal or hard mode copies of the Night Falls storybook to Captain Ahkenchu, with at least 9 pages filled.
• Turning in copies of the Young Heroes of Tyria storybook to Captain Ahkenchu.
• Missions from Chahbek Village to Dasha Vestibule onwards award Sunspear promotion points for each level of completion in both normal and hard modes.
• Successfully vanquishing explorable areas in Istan or Kourna.
• Completing certain Zaishen Bounties or Zaishen Missions.
• Getting master reward in all missions in Normal Mode grants: 585 Sunspear points and 855 Lightbringer points.
• Getting master reward in all missions in Hard Mode grants: 2340 Sunspear points and 2025 Lightbringer points.

[edit] Notes

• This title track is similar to the Lightbringer rank title track.
• Upon attaining the rank of Sunspear Commander (tier 6), your character can no longer obtain Sunspear bounties in Istan.
• Upon attaining the rank of Sunspear Castellan (tier 8), your character can no longer obtain Sunspear bounties offered in normal mode. You must play in hard mode to get bounties to earn the last two ranks.
• The last time you need to earn a Sunspear rank is in the quest "And a Hero Shall Lead Them," where you need to attain the rank Sunspear General (2,500 Promotion Points), this requirement is only for Elonian characters, Tyrian & Canthan characters do not need to acquire this rank to progress the Nightfall campaign. Fortunately, this is easily accomplished, as many areas can yield 1,000 points or more even in normal mode.
• Sunspear skills' green numbers cover a rank range of 0...10.
• For all Sunspear title skills except Sunspear Rebirth Signet, which scales linearly with Sunspear rank, Sunspear rank translates to effective attribute rank as follows:

Progression
Sunspear rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Effective attribute rank	0	1	3	4	6	7	9	10	12	13	15
