Guide to Message Board Ranks

Around the time when the Wizard101 Message Board ranks were revealed, I tried doing the same thing over here. I sifted through the Message Boards, compared post count and rank, and eventually compiled a list that I felt was probably close to the actual numbers. I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but feel free to correct me if you see something wrong! Pssst ... One-Eyed Jack, feel free to chime in as well. ;)

What is rank? To the left of every post is a list of statistics about that particular poster. One of those stats is called "Rank." Ranks are earned when a user reaches a certain post count. Rank is not affected by the number of Yars someone has. See below to find out when each rank is earned.

Pirate101 Message Board Ranks:

Rank | Post Count
  • Ensign - 1
  • Petty Officer - 50
  • Lieutenant - 100
  • Gunner's Mate - 200
  • Bosun - 300
  • First Mate - 400
  • Captain - 500
  • Commodore - 750
  • Admiral - 1,000
  • Dread Pirate - 1,250
  • Pirate Overlord - 3,000


Hopefully this helps people out!

Thanks for the information, I had originally thought that they go by 50s but I guess I grossly overestimated the number of ranks there actually are.

Great idea, Qwerty78202, and this post has been "Stuck"! (In a good way. )

Thank you so much, Vanessa! I actually forgot that I Yarred this and thought it was a new Sticky Post! Thank you so much for the information. That totally helped me out. Now I know that my next Rank will be Gunner's Mate, and I'm coming up on it soon!

Yup. I had no idea this was here and had to search it, and Vannesa even tipped us on that one! Thanks a lot!

Hey, Vanessa. It says I need to have 1,250 posts to be a Dread Pirate, but I have 1,252. Is that information inaccurate?

This is really helping ( not just knowing the rank but I'm also doing this to rank up).

The rank means nothing other than how many posts have been made in discussions here on the message boards. What other measure could they use to compare active posters from those who just stop by from time to time?
