Acquisition

Sunspear points can be earned by:

• Completing quests that award Sunspear points.
• By killing specific creature types while under the effects of a bounty (the amount depends on the region and whether it's normal or hard mode).

• Turning in copies of the Young Heroes of Tyria storybook to Captain Ahkenchu, with at least 7 pages filled.
• Missions from Chahbek Village to Dasha Vestibule award Sunspear promotion points for each level of completion in both normal and hard modes.
  • Getting the master's reward in all those missions in normal mode grants 585 Sunspear points.
  • Getting the master's reward in all those missions in hard mode grants 2,340 Sunspear points.
• Defeating Corsair Guild Lords in the Dajkah Inlet Challenge Mission awards 50 Sunspear points each.
• Successfully vanquishing explorable areas in Istan or Kourna.

Farming Sunspear points

Sunspear rank/Farming Sunspear points

Vanquishing

When going for the Elonian Vanquisher title, the vanquishing bonus and the Bounties encountered along the way will likely yield enough promotion points to max the Sunspear rank. Rewards and killing speed differ a lot depending on the area and route chosen. On average, it can yield around 2,000-3,000 Sunspear promotion points per hour. Vanquishing is neither the easiest nor the fastest way to farm promotion points, but it offers several benefits:

• You'll make progress towards three titles at the same time: Vanquisher, Sunspear rank and Lightbringer rank. If you plan to get the Vanquisher title, the other two are almost free.
• With a bit of extra work, you can progress the Elonian Cartographer title at the same time.
• Vanquishing is not as repetitive as the other farming methods, you'll only need to vanquish each area once.

Notes

• Upon attaining the rank of Sunspear Commander (rank 6), your character can no longer obtain Sunspear bounties in Istan without entering hard mode.
• Upon attaining the rank of Sunspear Castellan (rank 8), your character can no longer obtain Sunspear bounties offered in normal mode or turn in the normal mode Night Falls storybook. You must play in hard mode to get bounties to earn the last two ranks or turn in the Night Falls [Hard Mode] storybook; however, you are able to obtain Sunspear points in normal mode as a reward for some quests. Consider waiting until your character is rank 8...
  • and for an Elonian Support weekly bonus before turning in secondary quests that award Sunspear promotion points.
  • before vanquishing explorable areas in Istan or Kourna.
• The last time you need to earn a Sunspear rank is in the quest "And a Hero Shall Lead Them," where you need to attain the rank Sunspear General (2,500 Promotion Points), this requirement is only for Elonian characters; Tyrian and Canthan characters do not need to acquire this rank to progress the Nightfall campaign. Fortunately, this is easily accomplished, as many areas can yield 1,000 points or more even in normal mode.
• For all Sunspear title skills (except Sunspear Rebirth Signet and Vampirism's attack skill, which scale linearly with Sunspear rank) Sunspear rank translates to effective attribute rank as follows:

Progression
Sunspear rank	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Effective attribute rank	0	3	6	9	12	15	15	15	15	15	15

Trivia

• The earlier missions (up to Dasha Vestibule) did not award Sunspear points until the 13 November 2008 update.
