__TOC__
Your [[PvP rank]] is increased by gaining {{pvpexp}} [[PvP EXP|PvP Experience]] through [[PvP]] participation. For each rank you gain, you '''''used to''''' earn 1 [[Action Points|Action Point]] which could be used to learn [[PvP Actions]]. However AP ''was removed'' with [[Patch 4.0]]. Your PvP Rank was also compared to the opponent's to determine the {{pvpexp}}  PvP EXP and {{wolf mark}} [[Wolf Mark]]s earned in [[The Wolves' Den]], as well as to determine player matching for PvP Duties (That is, it would attempt to keep the average PvP rank of each team as close as possible). Ranked matches now use a separate, dedicated rating system.

A certain PvP rank used to be required to equip some PvP-related equipment. This was also discontinued with the release of ''[[Stormblood]]''. All [[PvP Gear]] may be bought and used at rank 1.

On the whole, since the [[patch 4.0]] overhaul, [[PvP rank]] continues to exist as a way to earn [[General Achievements (PvP)|achievements and titles]].
