The Gentle Manne's Service Medal is a Miscellaneous item that was obtainable for the Soldier. It is a small gold medal worn on the chest with a team-colored ribbon. The medal was not unlockable in-game, but instead was given away via a hidden page on the Classless Update website.

The medal was awarded to the first 11,111 players who visited the page. However, an additional number 11,112 was awarded at a later date. After the August 21, 2009 patch, the medals became individually numbered up to #11,111 in the item's description, effectively making each individual medal completely unique.

The item's description was written by Lamech for the Hat Describing Contest.
