PvP Rank
This article is about PvP experience. For the PvP Rank is a measurement of a player's account wide experience in structured PvP. Rank is increased by accumulating rank points. Rank points can only be gained once a player reaches PvP level 20.
Viewing Rank[edit]
When entering the structured PvP game type, the player's experience bar turns into a PvP rank bar. Here the player can see the current rank and progress towards next rank.
To view total accumulated rank points, the player can open the Achievements panel, look under Player vs. Player, and view progress towards the PvP Conqueror achievement.

Earning rank points[edit]

Additionally, volunteering for auto-balance grants you the win bonus and provides you with an additional 25 rank points.
Each top-stat you earn gives you another 5 .

For every 10 ranks earned a new finisher is unlocked for the account. This can also be displayed through the /rank command anywhere except for inside a WvW battleground, underwater, or during a structured PvP match.
Rabbit Rank Finisher (rank 1)
Deer Rank Finisher (rank 10)
Dolyak Rank Finisher (rank 20)
Wolf Rank Finisher (rank 30)
Tiger Rank Finisher (rank 40)
Bear Rank Finisher (rank 50)

With the release of Heart of Thorns, each 10 ranks also unlocks a new jungle themed PvP Reward Track which must then be completed to gain a Mordrem variation of the respective rank finisher. These Mordrem rank finishers have an overall green hue and contain thorns around the banner. All of them use the same base model except the Mordrem Dragon Finisher which has a Heart of Thorns legendary Wyvern instead.

Notes[edit]
- The /rank emote has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
- The December 13, 2016 update removed the PvP rank 80 cap, and players were awarded repeated ranks of 80 retroactively.
- In the December PvP update, the command /rank was updated to allow /rank [rank_level] to show any unlocked rank finisher. (e.g. /rank 43 spawns the tiger rank finisher if it is unlocked in the account).
- The December 14, 2012 update removed the function of the emote /rank from certain areas: WvW maps, sPvP matches, and activities, but it functions everywhere else.
- One of the requirements to purchase the Mistforged Glorious Hero's armor is a PvP rank of 100.
Trivia[edit]
- An ArenaNet developer was seen with Rank 205 on a test server during a livestream.
- Until April 15, 2014, the highest verified rank a player had achieved was Phoenix (70-79). The update changed the ranking system and many players were promoted to Dragon (80)
- The Wolf rank animation bears a strong resemblance to the Three Wolf Moon meme.
