A few posts above are all nicely explained, and then a Legendary member claims the following :
In terms of activity, you need to have at least 1,000. You can only gain 14 every couple of weeks provided you also make 14 posts within that period of time. In terms of merit, you need 1,000 as well. You can do the math out of those numbers.
Thanks for pointing this out! My apologies. It should have been 775 not 1,000. The 1,000 was meant for the merit. My bad!
I have already edited my post to avoid misleading others.
How long does it take to become a Legendary?- Darker45: In terms of activity, you need to have at least 1,000.
OP, please correct this. This is wrong. The minimum number of activity that a user should have to qualify for the legendary rank is 775. I got it all wrong.
Please change the OP post as well as this might mislead other users here. Thanks!
