Some titles are only available for special uses or are otherwise unique. They may be linked to a [[subscription]] tier purchase, CHE membership, or a private property purchased via [[SimuCoin]]s. Some may be temporary in nature, while others may be awarded for unique legacy situations, such as those characters migrated from Gemstone III to IV already capped.

==Temporary Titles==
<section begin=temporary />Events (including pay event activities) can grant a temporary prename title. The circumstances vary based on event. Temporary titles will only last until the character logs out. When the character logs back in, the temporary title will be cleared and replaced by the character's previously set title. A temporary title can be manually cleared by using {{boldmono|TITLE SET}} to change the character's title to another available title. Once changed, the temporary title is lost unless the criteria to acquire it is met again.<section end=temporary />

==CHE Officer Titles==
<section begin=che />Officers of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]] are granted pre- and postname titles that match their position. Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Event Planner, Bartender and Arbiter are examples of such titles. For full information including the criteria for changing Officer titles, see the [[CHE Officer Guide/Officer Titles|CHE Officer Guide]].<section end=che />

==Subscription Titles==
===Premium===
<section begin=premium />{{#section:Premium titles|premiumtitles}}<section end=premium />

===Platinum===
<section begin=platinum />Characters in [[Platinum]] were able to earn [[#Custom Titles|custom titles]] as they leveled. One custom postname title was available at level 60, one custom prename title was available at level 80, and one additional custom pre- or postname title was available at level 100. Titles were subject to all the requirements for any custom title.<section end=platinum />

==Custom Titles==
<section begin=custom />Custom titles are personalized titles made up by a player for their character. They may be either pre- or postname titles. They are sometimes available at [[festival]]s and [[pay event]]s and are a [[delayed service]]. They are also available via [[Premium Point costs|Premium points]].

==== General Title Guidelines ====
Custom titles can be tricky to navigate, but here are some guidelines that will hopefully make the process clearer and easier for players and GMs alike:
* Custom titles may not grant or imply any sort of authority within any region, city, or officially recognized organization. Examples of this would be King, Mayor of Solhaven, Grand Magister of the Hall of Mages, etc.
* Custom titles cannot emulate another class or profession. For example, it would not be appropriate for a warrior to request "Great Wizard" as a title.
* Custom titles cannot copy preexisting titles that are awarded through in-game means.
* Custom titles cannot copy unique or special titles possessed by Elanthian historical figures or non-player personas.
* Custom titles should not be considered exclusive to the player as other players may end up requesting the same title in the future, whether intentionally or coincidentally.
* Custom titles should avoid references to the Arkati and/or Lesser Spirits due to the potential for mechanical conflicts. For example, it would be an inappropriate conflict for a player to select a title such as "Servant of Lorminstra" and then convert their Arkati affiliation mechanically to Luukos further down the road.
* Custom titles should not make reference to player-run organizations since players can depart or change such organizations at their will, and it would be inappropriate to have a title referencing a PRO they are not a part of.
* The decision as to whether a custom title is acceptable falls first with the GM handling your title, then ultimately with QC. A GM will not submit a title to QC that they believe is a violation of guidelines, and QC's final decision is independent of the handling GM's initial decision.
* The format for titles is as followed: (Prename) (Your Name) (Your Last Name, if you have one) the (Postname). The is a static part of the system, so you need to work with it in your custom titles.

==== Postname-Specific Guidelines ====
* Postnames may incorporate nickname-style titles such as "the White Wolf" as long as the nickname is appropriate for the Elanthian game world. Nicknames are commonplace in both the fantasy genre as well as the real world. Nicknames from popular media should be avoided even if they are technically in-genre.
* Custom titles of an occupational nature should be postname titles, not prenames.

==== Prename-Specific Guidelines ====
* Prename titles should avoid occupational terms since they are generally not formal terms of address. The fact that there are some existing prename titles available that are occupational in nature cannot be used to justify an exception to this guideline.
* Some terms can blur the line between a term of address and an occupational term. If you are absolutely unsure where a term falls, it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion or seek guidance from QC.
* Prename titles should be short – ideally, two words or less.
* Prenames are ideally reserved for nicknames that directly flow into the real name (i.e., Big Bob) or, in the case of nouns/professions, are already accepted as prenames (i.e., Chef Bob, or The Intrepid Bob). Otherwise prenames should be reserved for formal terms of address (i.e., Lord / Lady) and the postname should handle the actual nicknames (i.e., Lord Bob the Stalker Extraordinaire).<section end=custom />

==Private Property Titles==
<section begin=privateproperties />Some [[private property]] owners may have a property-related postname title (e.g. Master of Kobold Woods Manor). These are mostly available for a [[SimuCoin private property]] that has been purchased via the [[SimuCoin]] store. Private properties acquired via other means, including in-game auctions, do not typically include a title.<section end=privateproperties />

==Contest and Quest Titles==
<section begin=contest />Some titles have been awarded for participation in once-off contests or quests.

Pay events, such as Duskruin, Rumor Woods, and Ebon Gate, have their own unique [[event titles]].

==Legacy Titles==
<section begin=legacy />Characters who had earned enough experience for level 160 in Gemstone III were bestowed the prename title of Renowned Lord or Renowned Lady in preparation of the Gemstone IV conversion that would make the character level 100 after the conversion. This title was only granted prior to the conversion taking place and is no longer able to be earned or bestowed to new characters post-conversion.<section end=legacy />
