Titles
Cultivators earn cosmetic titles — one for each realm, one for each dao element, one for each side of the Righteous/Devil split, ranks for a sect's leader and elders, and a capstone for the peak of Void Refinement. Equip one from the Titles page on the menu bar. New in v0.7.0.
Titles are purely cosmetic. No stat, no permission, no gameplay change — a title is a thing you say about yourself, in the world's hearing.
Where a Title Shows
An equipped title is worn as [Title] Name:
- Above your head, on the overhead nameplate.
- In chat, in front of your name on every message.
- On the rankings and your sect's roster — both work for offline players too.
Titles you have not earned stay on the list, greyed, each telling you what unlocks it — rather than hiding until they appear from nowhere. The "No Title" card at the top returns you to a plain name.
v0.10.0 The Identity page gained a third tab, a Gallery, alongside the existing Race and Titles tabs — a showcase of every title you have ever earned in one place, locked ones shown dimmed and your currently equipped one marked. It is a read-only display; equipping still happens from the Titles tab itself.
The Titles
| Title | Group | Earned by |
|---|---|---|
| Wandering Cultivator | — | Nothing — always available, so the picker is never empty |
| Body Refinement Disciple | Cultivation Rank | Reaching Body Refinement or beyond |
| Qi Adept | Cultivation Rank | Qi Condensation or beyond |
| Foundation Adept | Cultivation Rank | Foundation Establishment or beyond |
| Golden Core Elder | Cultivation Rank | Golden Core Formation or beyond |
| Nascent Soul Sage | Cultivation Rank | Nascent Soul or beyond |
| Soul Formation Venerable | Cultivation Rank | Soul Formation or beyond |
| Void Sovereign | Cultivation Rank | Void Refinement |
| Peak of the Void | Legendary | Void Refinement at its Peak stage — the top of the ladder |
| Ascended | Legendary | Completing the Ascension capstone and remaining at the peak |
| Reborn Ascendant | Legendary | 1 completed Ascension prestige loop |
| Undying Ascendant | Legendary | 5 completed prestige loops |
| Eternal Ascendant | Legendary | 10 completed prestige loops |
| the Righteous Path | Dao & Path | Walking the Righteous Path |
| the Devil Path | Dao & Path | Walking the Devil Path |
| Wood Dao … Void Dao | Dao & Path | One per element — your chosen Dao being that element |
| Sect Leader | Sect Rank | Leading a sect |
| Sect Elder | Sect Rank | Being a sect elder |
| Tournament Champion | Sect Rank | Winning a sect tournament |
Twenty-eight in all: seven realm titles, ten element titles, two paths, two sect ranks, the tournament champion, five Legendary capstones, and the Wanderer. The Mortal Road — the unaligned middle — is deliberately not a title; a title states an allegiance, and the middle is the absence of one.
Peak of the Void asks only that you reach the ground the Ascension trial is fought on. The four beside it ask that you survived it — and three of those count prestige loops, a ladder that runs past the realm ladder entirely. An Ascension count may climb past ten; the bonus stops stacking there, but the title tier is still what the count names.
When the Earning Lapses
Realm titles ask for the realm or beyond, so they stay yours as you climb. Path, element and sect titles are read live at the moment you equip them — but an already-equipped title is not re-checked. Drift from the Righteous Path, or step down as leader, and the title you were wearing stays on; it is a memory the world lets you keep until you take it off. What you cannot do is equip it again without qualifying.
Titles are account-wide: switching profiles keeps your equipped title, even onto a fresh Body Refinement cultivator wearing Void Sovereign — the title was earned by the account's deeds, and the picker only gates on your current cultivator when equipping anew.
Two Caveats
- The overhead name is written through Hytale's shared display-name machinery, so a nickname mod that writes the same field will overwrite the title, or be overwritten by it — last writer wins.
- There is no chat-format config: the
[Title] Nameshape is fixed (add-ons can reword it through the theming hook).
Treasure Pavilion Titles
v0.10.3 Anyone who signs in to the Treasure Pavilion with the Hytale account they play on earns a cosmetic title on any server running Cultivation, whether or not that server sold it to them:
| Title | Earned by |
|---|---|
| Dao Protector | A Cultivation subscription |
| Jade Slip Scribe | Jade Slip — included in the Cultivation subscription |
| Sacred Body Seeker | Sacred Bodies — bought outright, or through the subscription |
| Heavenflame Chaser | Heavenly Flames — bought outright, or through the subscription |
| Reverse Walker | Reverse — bought outright, or through the subscription |
| Pavilion Patron | Cultivation Test Benefits, bound to one Hytale username |
Sign-in is all it takes — nothing to redeem, no code to type. The server re-reads the Treasure Pavilion benefit sync every 6 hours by default, so a fresh purchase shows up within that window, and an admin can force an early read with /cultivation admin store recheck.
A lapsed subscription or a refund means the title can no longer be equipped; one already worn comes off automatically at your next join, the same as any other title you no longer qualify for.
A server can refuse any of these individually through Disabled-Benefits in WebStoreConfig.json (naming the product slug, the sub_<family> key, or an outright-only once_<slug> key, e.g. cultivation-sacred-bodies, sub_cultivation or once_cultivation-sacred-bodies), or switch the whole sync off with Web-Store-Enabled. A refused or disabled title is hidden from the picker entirely, as if it did not exist.
The Identity page's Gallery tab only ever shows a Pavilion title you actually own — an unowned one is never listed, greyed or otherwise.
Purely cosmetic, like every other title on this page: nothing here changes progression, balance or what a player can do.
For Add-on Authors
The list is an open registry: registerTitle puts your own titles on the same picker, greyed-with-a-hint until earned, grouped under your own caption — see API Registries. No new placeholders were added for titles in v0.7.0.
