Rank Hath its Privileges

The list of nine Sunspear ranks currently looks like this:
Sunspear Sergeant
Sunspear Master Sergeant
Second Spear
First Spear
Sunspear Captain
Sunspear Commander
Sunspear General
Sunspear Castellan
Spearmarshal

The Title tab in your Hero panel (opened by pressing H on your keyboard) displays your ranks and current total of promotion points. A green bar below your current rank advances as you earn more promotion points.

After you reach the sixth rank (Sunspear Commander), you can display your title under your character's name in the world. Click on the box next to the title to display it. As you continue to gain rank, the title appearing under your character's name is updated.

Each time you advance in rank, you'll also earn Sunspear promotion points, used to buy skills for your Heroes. You can find more information on this in our article on "Acquiring Hero Skills". If you've been playing the game for a while, you may not need to spend Hero skill points, but new players should consider gaining rank as a way of making their Heroes more versatile. http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/gwnfeatures/titletracks.php
