3.0: Titles you can get (or get started on) now

Titles Obtainable Only After Wrath, But Which You Can Start Working On Now

• “Battlemaster _______.” One of WoW’s meta-achievements, Battlemaster is actually notable for being a meta-meta-achievement – it’s an achievement that requires you to complete other achievements, which in turn require you to complete other achievements. Sheesh.
  • How to get it: Complete Battlemaster (Horde version) or Battlemaster (Alliance version). Note that those require you to complete the Master of <Battlefield> achievements, such as Master of Warsong Gulch. You can technically complete 4/5 of this achievement during 3.0.2, but unless they go ahead and release Strand of the Ancients (which I doubt), you’ll have to wait until November to start on Master of Strand of the Ancients.
• “Brewmaster ________.” I hesitated on adding this one, as if you didn’t start on it during Brewfest this year, you do have to wait until next Brewfest. But what the heck, you may have a step or two you can take regardless.
  • How to get it: Complete Brewmaster (Horde version) or Brewmaster (Alliance version). It’s another meta-achievement. Some of these you can complete now if you did the appropriate quests or items, such as Have Keg, Will Travel and Does Your Wolpertinger Linger?. Others will have to wait, such as Disturbing the Peace, and Brew of the Year (however, if you signed up for the Brew of the Month club, you’re set – just have to wait on them all to get to you). There’s also a possibility you’ll be reward retroactively for quests you completed, such as Down With The Dark Iron.
• “Chef _______.” You won’t be able to make a ton of progress on this one, but you can at least get a start, right?
  • How to get it: Complete Hail to the Chef. The parts you can do prior to Wrath are The Outland Gourmet, Sous Chef, and Kickin’ It Up a Notch. Oh, and The Cake Is Not A Lie, I think. If they decide to put Grand Master trainers in the home city, those of you at 350 or higher can also complete Grand Master Cook.
• “Elder _______.” Yes, after you honor all the Elders, you become one. Trust me, it took you that long.
  • How to get it: Complete To Honor One’s Elders. The odds that large parts of this will be rewarded retroactively are very good, in my opinion, but I doubt you’ll have completed the fireworks parts – and possibly not the parts requiring you to honor elders in the opposing capitals. Unfortunately, even if you’ve done the rest of it, you’ll have to wait for the Lunar Festival to honor the Elders of Northrend.
• “_______ the Explorer.” Hope your name’s not Dora. This achievement and title show the world that you really get around. Wait, that’s not right…
  • How to get it: Become a World Explorer! That’s a lot of walking. You can get a head start by exploring the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Outland; however, you’ll need to wait to completely explore Northrend. Completing the final step grants you a nifty new tabard (well, technically, you only need to explore Northrend for that part) as well as your title.
• “Flame Keeper _______” or “Flame Warden _______.” Hot stuff! If you liked the Midsummer Fire Festival’s revamp, this is the achievement for you… plus it’s just a damned cool title.
  • How to get it: Complete The Flame Keeper (Horde) or The Flame Warden (Alliance). The main reason this is one you can’t finish yet is because of Burning Hot Pole Dance and Torch Juggler, but it’s highly likely that you’ve honored the flames, desecrated and stole those of your enemies, and put the Ice Lord on ice.
• “Matron _______” (female) or “Patron _______” (male).” This is one you won’t be able to get much of anything done, but if you did Children’s Week, then you’ve got 1 step (out of 7) done.
  • How to get it: Complete For the Children. Unfortunately, most of them are untrackable, so you’ll have to wait till next year, but if you finished all the quests, then you’ve got at least one pet for Aw, Isn’t It Cute?.
• “Salty _______.” Possibly going to be the most abused title ever. Please, people, be responsible with your fishing nonsense.
  • How to get it: All ye salty sea dogs must first be named an Accomplished Angler. That’s right – yet another meta-achievement. Some of these will have to wait till Northrend (such as Northrend Angler and The Coin Master), but you can get a head start on several of them now – such as acquiring the skill to become a Grand Master Fisherman, or the amusingly named Old Man Barlowned and Fish Don’t Leave Footprints.
• “_______, The Argent Champion.” I’m working on this one too, simply becaues the irony of an undead warlock being the champion of the Argent Dawn does not escape me. Maybe you’d like to try to earn it too?
  • How to get it: Complete The Argent Champion, which requires you to reach exalted with The Argent Dawn (which you can do now) and The Argent Crusade (which you can do in Northrend).
• “_______ the Exalted.” Only the truly patient (or insane) need apply.
  • How to get it: Get 40 reputations to exalted. 40. 40. Have fun! There’s about 39 you can get exalted with right now (as in Live, or 3.0.2), 38 if you’re Horde. EDIT: The Horde have 39 also – I forgot about Tranquillien!
• “_______ the Loremaster.” I’ll say it up front: Loremaster has the best tabard to go with it, ever. It’s a quest-giver’s “!” on the front, and a bunch of tiny writing on the back. You’re a walking quest! And for good reason, too…
  • How to get it: Complete The Loremaster, which in turn requires you to complete a certain number of quests in each region – 550 in the Eastern Kingdoms (or 700 if you’re Alliance), 700 in Kalimdor, (or 730 for the Alliance), and the Outland and Northrend Loremaster achievements. You’ll have to be a real questing fanatic for this one.
• “_______ the Love Fool.” Love me, love me, saaaay that you love me…
  • How to get it: Complete Fool for Love (Horde) or Fool for Love (Alliance), most of which will have to wait until the actual event rolls around again. However, you may have managed to get Kwee Q. Peddlefeet, or completed the Love is in the Air questline.
• “_______ the Seeker.” Think of it as a step towards getting the Loremaster… and, in fact, you might already be a good chunk of the way towards getting this title!
  • How to get it: Complete 3000 quests. Currently there are (according to Wowhead) 6177 in-game, 4019 of which can be completed by the Alliance, 3983 by the Horde… though the actual number is much lower due to a lot of repeatable hand-ins – which reportedly don’t count. So, you’ll probably be waiting for Wrath on this one too…

And that’s the list!
