Titles

Cultivators earn cosmetic titles — one for each realm, one for each dao element and Personal Dao, one for each side of the Righteous/Devil split, ranks for a sect's leader and elders, standing with the three factions, honors from the Path War and each season, seven achievements, and a ladder of Legendary capstones that runs from the peak of Void Refinement through Ascension to Transcendent and the Grand Dao. Equip one from the Titles page on the menu bar. New in v0.7.0, and much longer since.

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, grayed, 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

Sixty-two in all: the Wanderer, seven realm titles, nine Legendary capstones, two paths, ten element titles, seven Personal Dao titles, the Dao Duel Tournament Champion, three sect titles, nine faction standings, two Path War honors, four seasonal titles and seven achievements. The Mortal Road — the unaligned middle — is deliberately not a title; a title states an allegiance, and the middle is the absence of one. The six Treasure Pavilion titles below are separate, and bring the total to sixty-eight.

The seven achievement titles are the visible half of the lifetime counters on the Achievements page: the first time you cross one of those thresholds a Title Unlocked banner announces it. They sit in their own Achievements section of the title picker.

When the Earning Lapses

Realm titles ask for the realm or beyond, so they stay yours as you climb. Path, element, Personal Dao, sect and faction 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. Grand Dao is the one Legendary title that can lapse for real: a Personal Dao can be set aside or decay, and the title goes quiet with it (the Convergence art you learned does not).

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] Name shape 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:

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 check the sync with /cultivation store status and force an early read with /cultivation 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, grayed or otherwise.

Purely cosmetic, like every other title on this page: nothing here changes progression, balance or what a player can do.

Titles from Add-ons

First-party add-ons register titles of their own through the same registry, each under its own section of the picker. They are cosmetic like every other title, and appear only on servers running that add-on.

For Add-on Authors

The list is an open registry: registerTitle puts your own titles on the same picker, grayed-with-a-hint until earned, grouped under your own caption — see API Registries. No new placeholders were added for titles in v0.7.0.
