How ranks work

Rank and Reputation system in Perfect World International

Your rank depends on how much reputation you have gathered, and each rank also needs a minimum level. Every new rank gives a free attack ring, your rank badge, and lets you buy rank equipment. Middle ranks are often reached only after you have outgrown their gear, but the gear from the top ranks is among the best you can get.

Rank	Level	Reputation	Gear levels
I	30	300	30
II	40	1,000	60
III	50	2,500	60
IV	60	5,000	60, 90
V	70	10,000	90
VI	80	35,000	90, 99
VII	90	100,000	99
VIII	100	200,000	100
IX	101	300,000	101

Ranking up and rank gear

At level 30 with at least 300 reputation you get a quest to see the Commander-in-chief in Archosaur, who hands you your first badge. After that, about every 10 levels you can move up if you have enough reputation; do not worry if you fall behind, most players do. To upgrade, carry your current badge in your bag, because the Commander-in-chief swaps it for the new one. When the ring is outdated, keep it in your bank.

Commander-in-chief	Coordinates
Archosaur, South District	522, 626
King's Feast	472, 429
Dreamweaver Port	665, 362
Thousand Streams	129, 855

Rank equipment is sold by NPCs next to the Commander-in-chief in Archosaur, Dreamweaver Port and Thousand Streams, grouped by rank. You can buy from them once a day, and each piece can roll different extra stats and sockets, so players who want better rolls come back the next day. Higher rank gear is expensive. See Equipment for gear in general.

Rank badges

Badges cannot be refined, dropped, traded or sold. The source says every rank except IX comes with a free badge (it still lists a rank IX ring, the Ring of Trauma).

II	Private's Badge	Attack +30, critical rate +1%
III	Captain's Badge	Attack +42, critical rate +1%, HP +50
IV	Lieutenant's Badge	Attack +55, critical rate +1%, HP +70
V	Brigadier's Badge	Attack +70, critical rate +2%, HP +90
VI	High Commander's Badge	Attack +85, critical rate +2%, HP +120, channeling -3%
VII	Marshal's Badge	Attack +100, critical rate +3%, HP +150, channeling -3%
VIII	General's Badge	Attack +125, critical rate +4%, HP +180, channeling -6%

Ways to earn reputation

The main story alone will not give enough reputation for the higher ranks, so most players mix several of these:

Quests: some give reputation, shown by a red dot in the quest log. They are usually hard, timed or involve elite monsters.
Call to Duty (FB): an Iron Blood Tablet, received every 10 levels or so, activates pillars in a dungeon; killing the linked boss gives each squad member reputation, more in higher dungeons. Killing the boss without activating the pillar gives none.
Friendship Quest: a daily team visiting quest started with a friendship crystal, worth 10 reputation a day.
Crusade Orders: join parts A and B (paying more coins improves your luck) to start a Wanted quest that gives reputation, Spirit, EXP and a random item.
One Man Army: repeatable kill quests that change every 5 levels; each gives 1 to 3 reputation and a Celestone Fragment.
Wraith attacks on towns: the wraiths drop Wraith Soldier's Dog Tags (5 reputation each at a Commander-in-chief) and the big boss may drop a Wraith Officer's Badge (25). Drops are rarer if you are far above the wraiths' level.
Darkness Stamps: dropped in Call to Duty dungeons FB19 to FB59; hand them to Wraithhunter Hu in Archosaur.
Wedding Candy: comes from married couples' gift pouches and can be traded; each candy gives 20 reputation, and the Commander-in-chief trades 100 candies for 2,000 through the Candy for Rep quest (see Marriage and Mentors).
Donating gear: collectors in the three big cities take pairs of 2-star weapons, armor or ornaments of set grades for a little reputation. It is a costly method.
