Anyone know what portal master rank cap is?

You need to get to level 80 to get the last hat. Not sure if that is the max or if you can go beyond that, but there is a finite number of stars you're able to get if you complete everything on the Portal Master screen.

when you hit 80 your gonna be so tired of the game grinding that you will not care about the hat at all.

Not really.

I just hit PM rank 50 and I am hardly tired from the grinding due to the variety of things to accomplish. After doing 45 heroic challenges with 101 skylanders while doing giants (now that was grinding!!) this seems like a brees. We will see how I do completeing quests on each figure this time around

Question: Do you have to get every single star to hit rank 80?

Question: Do you have to get every single star to hit rank 80?

This was discussed in another topic, but it wasn't specifically ABOUT this topic, so ...

You have:

Story Levels - 57 Stars
Swap Zone Challenges - 126 Stars
Bonus Missons - 60 Stars
Time Attack - 57 Stars
Score Attack - 57 Stars
Survival Arena - 120 Stars
Fully Completing Levels - 87 Stars
Unique Challengs - 53 Stars
Hidden Treasures - 52 Stars
Skylander Collection - 94 Stars

763 stars gives you 127 Portal Master Levels (762 / 6) plus the level you start with, so your "virtual" maximum could be considered be Portal Master Level 128. Or 128 1/6 if you want to count that extra star left over.

You only need 474 (79 * 6) to reach Level 80, which is the maximum possible level, meaning there's almost 300 optional stars.

So to hit the maximum rank, you don't have to worry about the Team Arena if you only have one controller, you don't ever have to play a level on Hard or Nightmare, you don't need to own a single Green or Orange-based figure.


[EDIT: And I just realized I "necro-ed" a dead topic from about ten days ago. Whoops! Go me. That'll teach me to post at 3 AM.]

Thanks! Now I know that I don't have to get every single Blue Base Figure, just the new ones!

Hah, that's actually quite relieving, I've hit rank 55 and I haven't even touched Time Attack, Score Mode, or Hard/Nightmare, nor any Team arenas and such.
I guess that was my greatest concern, as silly as it sounds, that I wouldn't be able to get all the rank based perks/goodies.

Does anyone know how to achieve 120 stars in survival mode? I played solo survival and team survival and it says 36/36 stars earned for each. So I have 72/120 possible stars, but how do I earn the other 48 stars?

Do you have both the fiery forge and the crossbow? I believe they open up a couple more levels.

Adventure Packs and Battle Packs are where the other stars are at.

The ranking actually confuses me somewhat. I mean, you get stars to contribute to your rank for getting all the hats...but to get all the hats, you have to max out your rank and thus those stars are of no use beyond super completionism. Huh.

It came way too fast for me personally.

Looks like 80 is the max. I just got to 80 and, although it acknowledged me buying everything in the shop, it didn't give me the stars. (My little Portal Master meter is sitting at 80 with 6 stars lit.)

Has anyone found this inaccurate? Does it stop at 80 (I am at like 76 so in a matter of time I will finish it up to see myself but I though I would ask!

Max rank probably means diddley squat on Trap Team . Dont kill yourselves getting to 80 .

Oh I am almost certain it will mean nothing but it doesn't mean that my OCDness can't be fulfilled by getting to 80, lol!

What was really annoying was getting 80 on Wii U without any collection stars because of bug

Uhm.... Theres still like..... 30 extra levels worth of stars, even without collection stars. I see this as an entirely moot point tbh.

You know i kinda get the feeling my game becomes more glitchy , as my rank increases
