Co-Ranks

Inferni has tons of Co-Ranks (almost 100!). Co-Ranks are organized according to their corresponding ranks. The Co-Ranks system ties in closely with the regular ranks system -- you'll notice the names of different Co-Ranks tiers are also our rank names!

Request Your Co-Rank

Co-Rank Rules

General

  • Co-Ranks may have unlimited occupants.
  • Your character can obtain any Co-Rank. Example Your character may be ranked as a Bellum, but they can take a Civilis Co-Rank. Your character may be ranked as Civilis, but they're welcome to Co-Ranks within the Sciens tier.
  • Your character can obtain unlimited Co-Ranks.
  • Co-Ranks are available to anyone except puppies (Evocati less than 7 months old). NPCs can even earn Co-Ranks (up to two)!
  • If you left less than 6 months ago, your Co-Rank(s) can be returned when you rejoin. Just re-submit your old threads.

Getting Your Co-Rank

  • Complete one thread related to the Co-Rank's responsibilities.
  • Abide the Completion Rules.
  • Only one Co-Rank can be earned per thread.

Co-Ranks

Some Co-Ranks are duties your character can perform all the time (e.g., woodcutting or gathering plants). Other Co-Ranks are highly specialized and only used at certain times (e.g., in battle). Some are very easy to earn, some require a special situation to occur.

The bolded first responsibility is the short, comprehensive description of the Co-Rank. The rest of the responsibilities are more specific. Pay attention to both the bold description and the specifics, please. Make sure the thread is covered in your desired Co-Rank's responsibilities. Example Your character adding horse-related items to the stables counts for the Stablehand rank -- but not the Groom Co-Rank, and certainly not for the Handler Co-Rank. Breaking a horse counts for the Handler rank -- but not Groom, or Stablehand Co-Rank.

Custom Co-Ranks

Still not seeing anything related to what your character does? Got a special skill so unique it needs its own place? Contact the leaders via the Inferni Maintenance thread and submit a custom co-rank request.

We'll (probably) add it to the Co-Ranks. It won't be yours as in your character is the only one allowed to hold it; it'll work like any other Co-Rank. However, we are definitely open to adding more specialized jobs to Inferni, especially when it's need-based and we already have someone with a special skill!

Co-Rank Checks

Every four months, Inferni will have a co-rank check to remove inactive co-ranks held by members. Members will need to submit one thread pertaining to each co-rank during this check to keep those co-ranks. These threads must follow normal completion rules and have taken place within the past four months (between the last check and current one).

Don't worry -- you can always earn a co-rank back later, and there is no penalty for losing one! Because they are unlimited, we want to prevent an accumulation of unused co-ranks!

Wiki Help!

Those with relevant Ranks and Co-Ranks are strongly encouraged to help update the 'Souls wiki with Inferni's items. For example, if you're the Falconer, try and keep after the Ravens page, and make sure they're listed on the page. If you're the Vaquero, make sure to update the Drifter Bay Horses page.

Why? These resources help others, and as your Co-Rank's duties are primarily IC, it'd be great to get the extra little bits of help here and there with updating these things! It is helpful to the leaders, other members of Inferni, and yourself (in the future!). Thanks for whatever you can do for Inferni!
