Taking in account how hard it is to climb through the ranks in the Copper and Brass Leagues in the last 8 years since the new ranking system started being implemented not many have been able to advance into the next levels. Though the only benefit would be that Adventurers didn’t necessarily have to take the annual Examinations to gain ranks anymore, as the League officials at all Guild HQ’s would evaluate Adventures based on their achievements as the continue to improve. In the last three years though the difficulty of each rank in the Leagues have increased due to elitists –

For example when Gold Leagues housed Adventures that were ranked between 27 to 35 according to the old standards, they now held the ranks of 10-15 while these “higher rankers” insisted on higher Leagues still to be created.

In each league though you are often regarded still as a ‘novice’ and so need to work to becoming ‘experienced’. And though the you might be in the Gold League which is comparable to being a ranked somewhere between 10-15 does not mean someone going around as a 13th Ranker can stand against a Gold Leaguer, their skills are no longer comparable after the Bronze league.

Bronze League (Novices):

Rank 1 – Trainee – Yet another set of training the fresh Bronze Leaguers must undergo, though trice as vigorous as that they had ever underwent before, this is meant to weed out the few that somehow manage to get here, but don’t, in reality, have the skills – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 4
Rank 2 – Novice – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 5
Rank 3 – Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 5
Rank 4 – Advanced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 6
Rank 5 – Experienced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 6

Silver League (Intermediate):

Rank 1 – Novice Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 6
Rank 2 – Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 7
Rank 3 – Advanced Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 7
Rank 4 – Advanced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 8
Rank 5 – Experienced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 9

Gold League (Advanced):

Rank 1 – Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 10
Rank 2 – Advanced Intermediate – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 11
Rank 3 – Advanced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 12
Rank 4 – Experienced – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 13
Rank 5 – Novice Veteran – Old ranking Equivalent Rank 14
Rank 6 – Veteran – Old Ranking Equivalent Rank 15

_________________________________________________

As the Adventuring world grow the New system is still changing; these changes are still to be enforced in the lower leagues, but how the Ranks are referred to as Novice or Experience within each League has fallen away after the Gold League as the Gold League was previously the highest League; as well as falling within a “rank” which was more like an average ‘level’ gauge system.

Now the hierarchy is solely determined by your personal rank within the League, the higher your number the ‘weaker’ you are.

The Leagues will be named form lowest to highest levels that Adventures aim for.

Pearl League
Fire Opal League
Red Beryl League
Alexandrite League
Diamond League
Jade League
Obsidian League

Even though Obsidian isn’t as scarce or expensive as Diamonds it ranks highest as Obsidian is considered the ultimate symbol of power, while Jade a symbol of vitality.
