Since there are so many people that don't like having hidden requirements, I'm analyzing the roster of people in the Society to try to shed some light to those requirements. Though there's a big gap not covered, we can have an idea of requirements for the first five ranks. Here is what I've found more or less:

- Journeyman Courses don't count towards overall progress (Confirmed)
- Legacy Courses don't count towards overall progress (Confirmed)
- Ranks are based on Academy Credits. These credits are awarded depending upon completion of courses. The easiest ones award 1 AC, while the harder ones may give much more. Degrees also award ACs, though how much is unknown as well.

Ranks and requirements

Rank I -
Promotion requirement: Complete 1 SA course. (Confirmed)
Reward: Banner tasset

Rank II -
Promotion requirement: Obtain 10 ACs. (Confirmed)
Reward: Sith scroll accesory

Rank III -
Promotion requirement: Obtain 25 ACs. (Confirmed)
Reward: Datapad accesory

Rank IV -
Promotion requirement: Obtain 45 ACs and a Maven Degree. (Confirmed)
Reward: Banner pattern

Rank V -
Promotion requirement: Obtain 75 ACs and a Savant Degree. (Confirmed)
Reward: Researches Robes

Rank VI -
Promotion requirement: Obtain 120 ACs and Two Savant Degrees (Confirmed)
Reward: Lore tome accesory

Ranks VII -
Promotion requirement: Obtain X ACs and Two Savant Degrees
Reward: ?

Rank VIII -
Promotion requirement: Obtain X ACs and Three Savant Degrees
Reward: ?

Rank IX -
Promotion requirement: Obtain X ACs and a Sage Degree
Reward: Pyramidal holocron accesory

Rank X -
Promotion requirement: Obtain X ACs and a Sage Degree
Reward: Probably cubical holocron accesory, considering the progression (Rank IX - 3 sides, Rank XI - 12 sides)

Rank XI -
Promotion requirement: Obtain X ACs and Two Sage Degrees
Reward: Dodecagon holocron accesory

Am also guessing that ranks 7 and 8 are:

8:
- Have 120 academic credits (xxx/120)
- Have 3 Shadow Academy Savant degrees (currently x/3: xxx, xxx, xxx)
- Have 1 Shadow Academy Sage degree (currently x/1: x)
- Have an average course score of 91% or above (currently xx/91)
- Have an average course score of 89% or above (currently xx/89)

7:

Hmmm, very interesting... Promotheus' output of that isn't very clear on what is happening at those ranks.

To add to this discussion, I have more ACs than everyone ranked above me as well as good/better average scores than everyone except Ood. The defining difference is those above me have more than 1 Sage, except, again, Ood. So Rank X, I suspect, requires 2 Sage degrees OR 1 Sage plus an average above 97%. While Rank XI might require 3 Sage or 2 Sage plus an average above 97% or more.

To test this, I just need to bump my average score another .11% lol

We are glad to announce that your status in the Shadow Academy Society has been elevated from V: Senior to IX: Graduate (magna cum laude), because you have achieved the following:

- Have 120 academic credits (currently 120/120)
- Have 3 Shadow Academy Savant degrees (currently 3/3: Dark Savant - Leadership and Communication, Dark Savant - Service, Dark Savant - Tactics and Combat)
- Have an average course score of 95% or above (currently 96/95)
- Have an average course score of 93% or above (currently 96/93)
- Have an average course score of 91% or above (currently 96/91)
- Have an average course score of 89% or above (currently 96/89)

So judging by Yacks's post it would appear the higher ranks require a set number of things to be met, instead of the one Sage degree I have an average course score of 95% or above
