In AD&D, your "name level" was 9th. As [MENTION=9501]Prism[/MENTION] noted, 5e throws in a nice boon to pretty much every class at 11. So, split the difference and say 10th level is "Name Level." When the strongholds, temples, and guilds are established. When you reputation best matches that of kings and renown, as the heroes of old. Your powers in your chosen field/calling are beyond repute and none can question your skills/faith/knowledge/force.Theoretically, XPO advancement then also takes a nosedive in speed. That is, getting from 10th to 15th level should take a while, as compared from 5th-10th...and a veritable snail's pace compared to 1st-5th. So, yes, at 5th level, you are a Mage. At 10th you are a Wizard (as opposed to a sorcerer or warlock or illusionist or necromancer). I would say, then, beyond 15, you are an Archmage...and, as noted, over 17th it really doesn't matter if someone refers to you as "the Archmage Ringlerun" or, simply, "Ringlerun." At most you'd get, "You mean the Ringlerun?"Just for fun...let's see what I can come up with for actual terms...probably be falling back on 1e's titles for some help...Class: @ 5th level/@10th level/ >15thFighter: Fighter, Lord, ...um...still a Lord? Highlord?...King?Barbarian: Barbarian, Warlord, Jarl Paladin: Paladin, Crusader, SaintRanger: Ranger, Ranger, Ranger (they don't care much for the importance of political titles <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Thief: Thief, Master Thief, Guildmaster (if creates a guild) or "King of Rogues" (if wanderer/solo) Assassin: Assassin, Master Assassin, Grandmaster or Something campaign specific/relevant but equally "grand" sounding: Grandmaster of Flowers, Grandmaster of Shadows, the Bloodmaster Raven, Grand Shadow of Thel, etc...Bard: Bard, Master Bard,...Master Bard with some elaborate/flamboyant/self-proclaimed greatness.Cleric: Pretty much all of these are anything/something campaign/religion/mythos specific: So you might have: Cleric/Priest/Shaman, High Priest/Archbishop/[still a]Shaman, "Lightlord" [for a sun god]/Pope/Spiritwalker...there are really too many to have/use one. Druid: Druid, Archdruid, HierophantMonk: Monk, Master, Something campaign/setting specific "Grandmaster of the Seventh Wind"/"Dragon Warrior"/"Phoenix Lord", as with clerics there's just no way to pinpoint 1.Wizard/Sorcerer [as in my games/world they are the same thing and in other worlds, differentiations would be setting/campaign specific anyway]: Mage, Wizard, Archmage.Warlock: Warlock, Warlock, Warlock...no matter how powerful you become, you are still the pawn of your master...you are still a Warlock.</blockquote>
