    @Tiyamel well, I know it is higher than 21 points as that is what I have now - will let you know when I progress past that point. Trying to keep track slowly but I suspect that I will get first star at 25 points.

    @tiyamel thanks for this. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again. Good to see positive posts to balance all the negatives.
    I am the flame which lights the way. I am wisdom attained and knowledge sought.
    By my power the darkness is burned. My will the tides are turned. Arcane might is my weapon. Elemental fury, my shield. Know me as The Sorceress. And fear the name,

    Also, it seems that every time someone else mentions you in a post, you get a point... I wonder what would happen if you included my name twice in your post? Try it out.

    @Ophindis lol I shall try that out, does it work for multiple times in 1 post like this @Ophindis or does it need to be separate posts to take effect?

    hmm, you might be right, so I've given you a couple of insightfuls, they should give points, hope that works

    That did work - it has boosted my points to 29. However my soul shriven rank still remains. I suspect that they moved the rank up points down one for each, might be why it is taking so long to get your next star.

    ah, I see, well that screws the whole thing up then lol, ok guess I will be relying on updated information as and when people achieve ranks so I can edit and update the original post, thanks for letting me know.

    @Tiyamel At 37 points I am now Rank 1. Not sure if they changed the level requirements with update 4, or if they just reduced the requirement... because 37 seems like a pretty odd number... unless they were just shooting for half of 75.

    @Tiyamel Thank you so much for this thread, I have been looking all over the place for some sort of help. I had no idea why I was soul shriven or how to earn badges or ranks.

    I only found this thread because I saw @Nybling posting the Anniversary badge. So thanks for that as well. I really wish they would put up an official guide to all these badges and activity earnings somewhere.

    I don't get how I can't have the anniversary badge by now since I got the game on its release date and played the beta before that. Unless it's calculated from your first post in which case I've got a year to go.

    Also, it appears they removed the ability to actually upload photos after the beta. My old profile picture showed for about 7-12 hours after launch, then disappeared and I was only able to choose a avatar. I suppose they didn't want a bunch of unpleasant pictures being used...or something?

    @ChanceofRust
    Yes, before we were able to have profile pictures. That feature was removed with launch and we have to choose from a preset array of pictures. :(

    Little things like uploading a profile picture make the community a better place. Thanks!

    How does one upload a profile picture? I can only choose from ESO's own selection of pictures.

    They eliminated this option during beta and converted everyone over to choosing from their photo album instead. Maybe a space issue or maybe a copyright issue who knows? Either way you won't be able to get this badge anymore :-(. I believe there is a similar badge for the first time you change your profile picture (suing the ESO selection) but I am not sure.

    I miss my old profile pic! it was a day o' the dead oroborus!

    in the last days before launch, some of the forum's members thought how funny & FUN it would be to make their profile pictures offensive, I'm sure you can imagine it... certain body parts, eye-popping content, just plain curse words.

    sooooooooo... pretty quick you could only choose from a list.
