Around 170ish titles are behind completing quests with NPCs escorting you. Then you have a couple hundred titles tied to grinding OT weapons to +10. Then you have crafting titles, S-ranking Omnibus and Story quests...

1100 titles isn't hard, it's lengthy. For the record, I do as much crafting as possible, and I have still not hit lvl50 on Extending and Tech Crafting, while having over 1200 titles.
