Rift Planes of Telara : Prefix Title Dame : How to get the Dame title

Lately I've had a bunch of people asking me about the Dame title, how to get it, and whats all the buzz about the Dame and Sir prefix titles being bugged? I can't tell you how many times this week people have asked me if the Sir prefix achievement line is bugged!

No worries though, because I've already got an amazing post on this blog that breaks down the entire issue around the Dame prefix title and the achievements for it.

Also keep in mind that the Dame title is only for female characters, and the Sir title is for male characters. The same achievement line rewards one or the other. You cannot have both Sir and Dame prefix titles.

Click here to read the post about how to get the Dame or Sir prefix title and how to resolve any issues you have with completing the achievement line.

Rift Strategy Guide Review: Xerxes Rift Mastery Guide Reviewed

I'm going to write up another quick strategy guide review for Xerxes Rift Guide because its such a good guide that even after reaching level and gear cap, I'm still constantly referring back to it.When I started playing rift recently, I wanted to get ahead of everybody else who was starting the fresh MMO with me. I looked around for the best leveling and also importantly best compilation of top PvE and PvP soul builds and wanted to check it out for myself.

The Xerxes Rift Strategy Guide is put together very well. You get access to a member’s area once you buy the guide.
They divided the entire guide into 4 main sections:

  • Beginner’s crash course
  • Rift leveling guides
  • Rift builds guides 
  • High quality maps


The Rift character soul build guides section is amazing. They have every kind of build for every soul mix. I’ve already gone through the mage and rogue builds guides, and I was amazed at how detailed and easy to follow they are. They go over the best leveling builds, healing builds, support builds, best PvP builds and a few other genre of builds. My favorite section by far.

The High Quality Maps section: You’re able to download 6 high quality maps.


The Beginner’s Crash Course is a collection of 3 PDFs. The first is just a beginner’s guide, which explains a bit about general game features such as callings (just a fancy name for classes) and what to expect when progressing through the class system. The other 2 PDFs are on the UI (User Interface) and a guide on rifting. I mean most of this can be found on the actual website but Xerxes have added a few extra hints and tips.

Another huge point to keep in mind is that the Xerxes RIFT Guide team are constantly updating their content.  I'm not sure how frequently, but it seems either weekly or twice a week they update it. If anybody else gets the guide, please comment and let me know what you think of it!
