RoGhoul Ro-Ghoul CCG Investigator Ranks
Complete CCG rank progression — from Rank 3 Investigator to Special Class — with Respect mechanics and rewards explained.
If you chose CCG as your faction in Ro-Ghoul, you climb the Commission of Counter Ghoul’s internal rank system alongside your Quinque progression. Unlike Ghoul blood ranks, which are mostly cosmetic and tied to feeding streaks, CCG investigator ranks reflect your contributions to the commission and unlock cosmetic and practical recognition as you advance. This guide covers every CCG rank from Rank 3 to Special Class, how to earn Respect (the CCG equivalent of Ghoul feeding streaks), and what rewards or recognition each rank grants.
CCG rank tree
The CCG rank ladder in approximate order of advancement:
| Rank | Notes |
|---|---|
| Rank 3 (初次席 / First Class) | Starting rank for all new CCG characters |
| Rank 2 (二席) | Early advancement — achievable within first week |
| Rank 1 (一席) | Mid-game milestone — requires consistent Respect gains |
| Associate (准) | Upper mid-tier — grind begins to slow |
| Senior (上) | Significant time investment required |
| First Class (特等) | Elite tier — few players reach this rank |
| Special Class (总监) | Endgame rank — extremely rare achievement |
The exact Japanese terminology varies by game version, but the progression order is consistent: newer players start at the equivalent of Rank 3 and work upward through commissions, NPC kills, and boss contributions.
How to earn Respect
Respect is the CCG progression currency analogous to Ghoul feeding streaks. You earn Respect through:
- Commission quest turn-ins — the CCG mission boards in Commission districts reward Respect on top of Yen. Completing higher-difficulty commissions yields more Respect.
- NPC kills in CCG-designated zones — killing designated hostile targets within CCG patrol areas grants small Respect bonuses.
- Boss contributions — tagging along on investigator-targeted bosses like Amon yields Respect chunks, especially if you land killing blows.
- Event participation — anniversary and seasonal events sometimes grant Respect bonuses for completing faction-specific objectives.
Unlike Ghoul feeding, CCG Respect does not decay over time. Consistent play compounds.
Rank-up requirements
Rank-ups are automatic when you hit the Respect threshold for the next rank. The exact thresholds are not publicly documented by SushiWalrus, but community estimates suggest:
- Rank 3 → Rank 2: approximately 5,000 Respect
- Rank 2 → Rank 1: approximately 25,000 Respect
- Rank 1 → Associate: approximately 100,000 Respect
- Associate → Senior: approximately 300,000 Respect
- Senior → First Class: approximately 800,000 Respect
- First Class → Special Class: approximately 2,000,000+ Respect
These numbers are community-sourced approximations. Actual thresholds may differ and can change after patches.
CCG rank rewards and recognition
Cosmetic rewards are the primary incentive for rank advancement:
- Higher ranks display next to your character name in-game
- Some rank tiers unlock access to restricted CCG cosmetic items and title displays
- Special Class investigators receive a distinctive in-game badge that other players can see
Practical benefits are limited but real:
- Higher-ranked CCG players access certain commission tiers unavailable to lower ranks
- Some Quinque lab upgrades and unlock sequences require minimum investigator rank
- Event bonuses occasionally scale with rank during limited-time CCG-focused events
CCG versus Ghoul progression comparison
| Factor | CCG Ranks | Ghoul Blood Ranks |
|---|---|---|
| Progression metric | Respect | Feeding streaks |
| Decay | None | Feeding streaks decay if inactive |
| Primary activity | Commission quests + NPC kills | Devouring NPCs |
| Rewards | Cosmetics + cosmetic titles | Visual blood aura changes |
| Competitive relevance | Low | Low |
| Time to Special Class | Months to years | Months to years |
Neither rank system confers direct combat advantage. Both are long-term cosmetic goals that reward sustained faction engagement.
Tips for fast CCG rank advancement
- Focus on commission boards — higher-tier commissions reward more Respect per completion. Check boards in higher-level districts as you unlock them.
- Combine farming trips — when you run Yen farming loops in CCG zones, also hit commission targets in the same area to double-dip.
- Boss tagging — even as a damage-support role, contributing to investigator-targeted boss fights earns Respect. Amon and Owl fights are reliable sources.
- Avoid pure Ghoul zones — spending time in Ghoul-controlled districts earns no Respect and may result in PvP deaths that interrupt your farming loop.
