This article is about the Lightbringer title. For Lightbringer bounties, see Sunspear/Lightbringer bounty. For the triple XP scroll, see Scroll of the Lightbringer. For quests that offer Lightbringer Points as rewards, see Category:Gives Lightbringer points.

Lightbringer is a title available to characters who play through the Nightfall campaign. A character's rank in the Lightbringer title track is determined by number of Lightbringer Points accrued and becomes displayable from your titles list at rank 1.

[edit] Acquisition

There are multiple ways to earn Lightbringer points:

• quest and mission rewards (see here)
• killing certain monsters while under the effect of a bounty given by a Whispers Informant
• turning in certain books (Night Falls or Young Heroes of Tyria) to the Source of Whispers
• vanquishing areas in Vabbi and The Desolation.

[edit] Benefit

Always display this title when fighting demon types (see below). You obtain the bonus effect from this title after earning Lightbringer rank 1 and then talking to the Seeker of Whispers in the Chantry of Secrets. This is NOT a skill, but rather a status effect. You display the effect by checking the Lightbringer title box (type: H to access the "Hero" panel, then mouse click on the tab marked "Titles" and check the box next to "Lightbringer.") Note: If you equipped the title before obtaining the status effect from the Seeker of Whispers, you can't benefit from it until you un-check it and then check-mark it again:

Lightbringer. Title. For each Rank of Lightbringer, you deal 5% more damage to and have +1 damage reduction against Abaddon and his demonic servants.

Note that this damage bonus does apply to certain armor-ignoring damage types (such as that dealt by Energy Surge, Chaos Storm, and Pain Inverter).

Displaying this title confers its effects on your character and your Heroes. This does not, however, allow Heroes to use or equip Lightbringer skills. The bonus effect is applied at the end of skill activation, so if you change your title during an activation, the resulting effect will be related to your new title status.

Bug! The damage reduction only appears to last for a certain duration or a certain number of hits for "55" builds using Protective Spirit. It is currently not known if similar effects occur in other situations. It appears that the damage reduction is applied before protective spirit unless the title is reapplied after casting.

[edit] Lightbringer Skills

The following PVE-only skills can be acquired from the Seeker of Whispers:

• Lightbringer's Gaze (requires Lightbringer rank 2)
• Lightbringer Signet (rank 3)

These skills are used to combat "Abaddon and his demonic servants" in the Nightfall campaign and increase in effectiveness along with the Lightbringer rank.

The displayed Lightbringer effect and skills work against the following "demonic servants of Abaddon":

• Margonites
• All Shadow Army units in the Nightfall campaign (but not Shadow Army units in the Fissure of Woe)
• Stygians
• The Blasphemy and Unbound Energies
• All Nightfall-exclusive Titans (but not Prophecies-exclusive Titans or Titans in both Prophecies and Nightfall).
• Torment creatures (with the exception of Grasps of Insanity, Wrathful Storms, and Scythe of Chaos Mesmers)
• Tortureweb Dryders and the Emissaries of Dhuum, but not Terrorweb Dryders or other Dryders

[edit] Hero skill points

Rising in Lightbringer ranks awards Hero skill points. With these, skills can be bought from Hero skill trainers for the character and will be unlocked for all heroes and PvP characters.

Lightbringer title track

The Lightbringer title is awarded by collecting Lightbringer promotion points, through either quest rewards or killing certain monsters while under the effect of the corresponding bounty.

Rank	Title	Lightbringer Points:
1	Lightbringer	100
2	Adept Lightbringer	300
3	Brave Lightbringer	1,000
4	Mighty Lightbringer	2,500
5	Conquering Lightbringer	7,500
6	Vanquishing Lightbringer	15,000
7	Revered Lightbringer	25,000
8	Holy Lightbringer (Max level)	50,000

[edit] Notes

• Source of Whispers offers and accepts a Normal Mode Night Falls book only if your Lightbringer rank is below Conquering Lightbringer (5), after that he offers and accepts only Hard Mode books.
• The earliest that a character can get any Lightbringer points is as soon as they get to mainland Elona. There is a Whispers Informant with an Elemental Hunt in the center of Arkjok Ward.
• The first quest that offers Lightbringer points reward is All's Well That Ends Well, and the first mission is the Grand Court of Sebelkeh.

Historical note: Prior to the Nov. 13th, 2008, game update, maxing this title contributed towards the Favor of the Gods.
