Class
Within the Wayfarer Society, regardless of branch, members are granted a class, or rank that represents several things. Time dedicated to the Society, and the number of jobs completed as well as the difficult level of those jobs. Finally, individual skill is also a factor though it is treated as secondary next to the other requirements. Each Wayfarer is given a badge that is blood-bound to them, capable of always returning to their bound holder, being pulled rapidly toward them, this ensures a Wayfarer cannot be impersonated which is a Capital offense in any nation.
Bronze
The lowest rank, a step above only the Trainees, Bronze is considered the official rookie of the Society. They often focus on tasks that are the simplest and safest to complete within their branches. Rarely extending out beyond such.
Silver
The rank in which most Wayfarers are considered proper members of the Society that have earned its respect. The minimum requirement to gain a Silver badge is to have been a member of the Society for one year (with some exceptions), and completed at least ten jobs of lower difficulty.
Gold
The point at which most Wayfarer's are acknowledged not only as proper members but experienced members that can be relied on and no longer need to be watched over by other, higher-rank members. Generally compared to skilled veteran soldiers, they have been within the Society for at least five years and completed well over fifty jobs to reach this point in their career. This is the point at which most locations offer discounts to the members for inns, arms, armor, and supplies. This discount then begins to grow as their rank increases.
Diamond
The experts of the Wayfarers, Diamond-Class members are considered the realistic end of any Wayfarer's Career, and the spot where most members tend to retire. Diamond are at the top of their field and have spent at least five active years in the Society. Having built a solid reputation after performing around a hundred jobs.
Titanium
The rank that most Wayfarer's aspire to become, Titanium-Class are considered Masters of their Branch. They often make up the respected top members of their specialization and lead multiple parties to ensure the spread of success and training to the other ranks. Someone with such a status generally must have at least ten years of service and well over a hundred jobs completed to hold the position. They are also the first rank that is granted Emergency Power during times of crisis, gaining the temporary rank of a mid-ranking military officer such as a Conlisan Lieutenant or a Ceridian Holy Knight during emergencies.
Platinum
A rank that is considered the pinnacle of the Society, generally requiring ten years of service and hundreds of jobs completed to be considered for the position. Often there is only one or two Platinum-Class members within a single branch of the society at a time and they are often compared to commanders of the military within various nations in skill. Due to this, they are granted the temporary rank of a high-ranking military officer such as a Conlisian Captain or Ceridian Paladin during emergencies.
Adamantite
A legendary rank that only a handful of members have had throughout the four-thousand-year history of the Society. The rank has no specific listed requirements aside from having the skill to easily handle legendary monsters of lore. The appointment of this rank is restricted to having at least ten votes of approval from either active or inactive Platinum-Class Wayfarers, and it must be started by someone who isn't the individual in question. It is not a class that can be requested.
