[UPDATED] New titles for Wrath

First off, though, there are a handful of titles available to more than just one person. 'Arena Master' is obtained by everyone who completes the Arena Achievements. It's not quite a Feat of Strength, but there aren't too many players who will obtain a Rating of 2200 in all three brackets. Of all the Achievements required to unlock the title, those three are about the toughest ones and if you're capable of hitting 2200 in all three brackets, the rest should be cake.
One title that sounds pretty cool is 'The Hallowed', which is obtained by completing all 18 Hallow's End Achievements, the hardest of which might just be obtaining the rare Sinister Squashling. Then there's 'The Diplomat', which many players will already receive at the launch of Beta -- it simply requires getting to Exalted with Timbermaw Hold, Sporeggar, and the Kurenai or Mag'har. Obsessive questers will eventually achieve 'The Seeker' after completing a whopping 3000 quests.
Finally, there's the odd and quirky 'Salty' which can be obtained by completing all the Fishing Achievements. This is a pretty tough one that has some difficult feats like getting Mr. Pinchy, fishing up Gah'zranka in Zul'Gurub and The Lurker Below in Serpenshrine Cavern, and winning the Fishing extravaganza in Stranglethorn Vale. Pretty tough feats just to be called Salty! After the jump, we'll take a look at all the titles that only one person can get.
[UPDATE] Tigole supposedly confirms the existence of an Ambassador <Name> title for players who achieve Exalted reputation with all 5 racial factions of the Horde and Alliance. It's a nice little nod to old school players out there.
Class titles
These titles are awarded to the first of a certain class to Level 80 per realm. Do you think you're up to the task of rushing to max Level as soon as Wrath is unleashed? Well, most of the titles from hereon are reserved for the most -- dedicated -- of players. Are you on a hardcore realm? Good luck.
- Arch Druid <Name> - First Druid to Level 80
- Archmage <Name> - First Mage to Level 80
- Assassin <Name> - First Rogue to Level 80
- Crusader <Name> - First Paladin to Level 80
- Prophet <Name> - First Priest to Level 80
- Stalker <Name> - First Hunter to Level 80
- Warbringer <Name> - First Warrior to Level 80
- <Name> The Malefic - First Warlock to Level 80
- <Name> Of the Ebon Blade - First Death Knight to Level 80
- <Name> Of the Ten Storms - First Shaman to Level 80
Don't worry if you miss out on the classes, because the racial titles are pretty awesome, too.
- <Name> Of Gnomeregan - First Gnome to Level 80.
- <Name> Of Quel'thalas - First Blood Elf to Level 80.
- <Name> Of Argus - First Draenei to Level 80.
- <Name> Of Khaz Modan - First Dwarf to Level 80.
- <Name> The Lion Hearted - First Human to Level 80.
- <Name> Champion of Elune - First Night Elf to Level 80.
- <Name> Hero of Orgrimmar - First Orc to Level 80.
- <Name> Plainsrunner - First Tauren to Level 80.
- <Name> Of the Darkspear - First Troll to Level 80.
- <Name> The Forsaken - First Forsaken to Level 80.
These titles are likely to be achieved much faster than the aforementioned ones... all it takes is some planning, a lot of bag space, and a lot of money. With enough preparation, players might conceivably get some of these titles within an hour of when Wrath of the Lich King first goes up. Others, on the other hand, will take some time, particularly the gathering professions and Fishing.
- Grand Master Alchemist <Name> - First to 450 Alchemy
- Grand Master Blacksmith <Name> - First to 450 Blacksmithing
- Iron Chef <Name> - First to 450 Cooking
- Grand Master Enchanter <Name> - First to 450 Enchanting
- Grand Master Engineer <Name> - First to 450 Engineering
- Doctor <Name> - First to 450 First Aid
- Grand Master Angler <Name> - First to 450 Fishing
- Grand Master Herbalist <Name> - First to 450 Herbalism
- Grand Master Scribe <Name> - First to 450 Inscription
- Grand Master Jewelcrafter <Name> - First to 450 Jewelcrafting
- Grand Master Leatherworker <Name> - First to 450 Leatherworking
- Grand Master Miner <Name> - First to 450 Mining
- Grand Master Skinner <Name> - First to 450 Skinning
- Grand Master Tailor <Name> - First to 450 Tailoring
Some titles will be awarded to entire groups, particularly those focused on realm first kills, with a real incentive for those Guilds who pursue 25-man content while others are purely individual titles.
- Twilight Vanquisher <Name> - Sartharion the Onyx Guardian Realm first kill (25 player).
- <Name> Conqueror of Naxxramas - Kel'Thuzad Realm first kill (25 player).
- <Name> The Magic Seeker - Malygos Realm first kill (25 player)
- <Name> The Supreme - First player to Level 80
- <Name> Hero of Northrend - First player to Exalted with Argent Crusade, Wyrmrest Accord, Kirin Tor and Knights of the Ebon Blade
'Iron Chef' and 'Doctor' are probably the coolest titles of all, and the imagination runs wild with the things one can do with 'Doctor'. I would love to see a player who gets Doctor get a paid name change to 'Horrible'. As early as now, there will be strategies and battle plans geared towards obtaining these titles for the hardest of the hardcore. In a World of Warcraft with 10 million players, it will be truly interesting to see who gets to stand out.

I want the Doctor title :D
Wolftech Aug 30th 2008 8:22PM
If i got it, id have to change my name to Who
Baluki Aug 30th 2008 9:18PM
"Doctor Who" is not the character's name. It's the name of the show. So really, you'd just be advertising the show. Which is fine, if that's what you're going for.
Geamo Aug 31st 2008 5:25AM
They haven't thought this through properly imo. They give the title to the guys who get powerlevelled up and then they get not 1, but 2 titles to pick from. Human Paladin for example, first to 80 would be able to choose from the "the Lion Hearted" AND "Crusader".
I won't get any of these titles. Content over powerlevelling.
Also with the "Seeker" title, does it count for quests already done or just from the moment Blizz says "Go"?
cannedbread Sep 1st 2008 4:00PM
If a human pally was the first to 80, he'd get "Crusader" "the Lionhearted" and "the Supreme".
Bull, they should just give "the Supreme" out for the first of each class to hit 80, the other titles would be available for a week after each of those titles is attained:
I.E. the first Orc Shaman on Realm X hits level 80, he gets "the Supreme" "Hero of Orgrimmar" and "of Ten Storms", but "Hero of Orgrimmar" and "of Ten Storms" are also granted to any other orc (for the first one) and any other shaman (for the second) who hit 80 in a week.
and Death Knights should get an extension because of their disadvantage.
Phoenix Aug 30th 2008 7:43PM
You did a double on the Mage and Druid one (I'm assuming). Arch-Druid is the first Druid to 80?
Jonny Dale Aug 30th 2008 7:45PM
If only I could get a paid name change to "Who"
Then I might be Doctor Who
Sean Riley Aug 30th 2008 8:01PM
Forget that! I want to make a human male get that title and rename him "Savage".
CJrush Aug 30th 2008 9:27PM
Screw who and savage, I want Doctor Jekyll
(may be spelt wrong)
RogueJedi86 Aug 31st 2008 9:18AM
Or a human female named Quinn. "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman"
blkmasta55555 Aug 31st 2008 10:32AM
Robotnik?

Doctor Horrible, I'm an engineer so I have goggles.
Eversor Aug 30th 2008 7:46PM
Too bad the leveling titles will go to those select few, who get boosted by their guild to 80. Which is contrary to Blizzards wish for players to experience content. Well, if you have set your eye on a title, no content enjoying for you, only a terrible race.
Ah well, I will be happy with the Seeker title.
Xino Aug 30th 2008 10:03PM
I'm happy someone mentioned this cause it seems like the ppl in favor of this don't understand that when the BC came out the firsts to reach lvl 70 just tagged mobs and had their guild kill them.
I GUARANTEE anyone seen with those leveling titles will be ppl that have gone that route.
Ktok Aug 31st 2008 3:26AM
Agree completely...
Blizzard should offer one title for those who get to 80 first, but frankly I think they should give another class specific title just for hitting 80. Granted, no, that's not hard to do... but for those of us on an RP server it could be nice to have some fluff titles to throw on that would fit in with the lore. *Without* having to use an RP mod for a change.
Warbane Aug 30th 2008 7:50PM
Was waiting for you guys to post this, one of the best things in this patch, imho. I love that they're both making a lot, but making them extremely hard to obtain. Whenever you see someone with one of the first _____ titles, it will really mean something.
Awesome, thanks Blizz. ^^
bumble Aug 30th 2008 8:18PM
yeah, that they locked themselves in their moms basement for a week when the expansion was released and we can laugh at them :D
Snuzzle Aug 30th 2008 7:50PM
The sad thing is only one person on each server will get each of those titles, which sucks. Come on Blizz, give us some titles that anyone can achieve. I'd love to have my tauren be "Plainsrunner" but she never will be.
