(this is just me speculating)

I've got to believe that getting some unique large scale quests (campaign ops/coalition assignments/recovering the AC/expeditionary force) done may help you get a few points towards Mastery Rank I'd doubt anything would be a hard requirement, just because it'd be terrible game design (touche to anyone that mentions limbus NM) some of the stuff happens (seemingly) randomly, I think there was one series of coalition assignment to help setup the frontier station and basically if you didn't do them the week they came out you're pretty much never able to do them. The location of the AC is something 1 player can't control.

Because there's so many collectively if you've done them all it probably helps (I think I've done them all), but if you're just missing 1 or 2 (that are most likely completely out of your individual control, especially ones that require the server to "fail" at tasks) doing them likely means effectively nothing in the grand scheme.

Likewise "redoing" work (de-leveling crafts/tossing shields) may or may not "help", but probably isn't required.

Also I guess touche to anyone who points out they put AV and PW in the game....

He came back to retail though

Or did briefly
Or tried to

Pick 6 you wish to see sent to the great gig in the sky.

Catseye is the server that kicked Spicy out of the whole community right? Bonus points.

Bind the command on each box to swap to the next box. Then the same button moves forward in order.

That would be slightly difficult as I only have 4 back buttons on my controller and 10 boxes I'd like to cycle through :D

I tried with over 50 stacks (stacks, not singles) of Refractive Crystals, it's probably way way more but this is what I tracked.
Mind this happened over many, many years.

I walked out with a +8/20 duration cape and a +10/18 duration cape.
I use the second in Temper/Enspells, the first for everything else.

I wanted inventory +1 but alas, SE doesn't want me to!
An old LS friend of mine, had a perf RDM cape. All 4 stats were maxed XD

Gonna @Byrth on this one, lol. We did them all and he probably remembers more of the unlocking nuance than myself. Basically just tons of repetition, but some are locked based on campaign areas available or under beast men control

That would be a simple problem to solve, just bind the command to switch to the specified box.

That's the primary point of failure.

While square sucks. They're still better than being at the mercy of private owner corruption and hissy fits.

That sadly cycles by alphabetical order, which is a big no go for me. I have my characters in a certain order that i'd like to keep them in :(

I too got 9 skill and 20 duration in about 30 crystals. I've been trying for 10/20 for a bit but no dice, but then again I only do it when I have some crystals that I mostly only ever get from an UNM farm session.

It sort of depends what you would consider as 'relevant' content, but for endgame content we have:

6:
Ambuscade
HTMB
Odyssey
Sortie
Sinister Reign (lol)

6+:
Divergence
Geas Fete
Limbus
Omen
UNM
Vagary
Delve
Besieged (lol)
Domain Invasion (LOL)

Again, depends what one considers relevant. I haven't done Domain Invasion or Besieged in months. Now whether players choose to actually engage in 6+ man content with that many characters is a whole different story. But you can, in fact, bring more than 6 people to them, even Limbus (though nobody does).

Correct.

yeah that's why I said it was a poor financial decision by SE, everyone's alts they activated for this past month for old cases are gonna be deactivated lol.

I mean, it's just like... playing the game

I think it helps that Dynamis, Omen, and Delve were relevant 18-man content at the time to compliment that 6 man content. There was variety. Now it's all 6 man only for relevant content. Dynamis and Omen are still relevant in that it's useful for people gearing up new jobs, or new / returnee players, but it's the last 18-man content we've received in almost a decade...That being said, it's really fun going in and steamrolling stuff while helping people. Nice change of pace compared to the min/maxing high-paced Sortie / v25 progression, while in a big group setting.

I would of liked it instanced the same way Omen was, you could do it with 6, or with 18, players choice. Each tower or area ends with a mini-boss and KI. Turn them all in for a Ultima / Omega super fight. That would of been awesome while still allowing our friends to tag along and not limiting us to a six man static.

Also Matters dont have the CanSendPOL flag, so you cant even get them on alt's and send to main.

This has been Fujito's vision for the game and he's said as much since he took over for Matsui. Limbus, Vana'bout, Besieged, this is the kind of content I think we should be expecting during his tenure. The playerbase was very vocal with their disdain for 6-man content in Odyssey and Sortie, and this is about as far from it as you can get. The issue is there is absolutely zero way to balance open world content in this game to be challenging, fun, and beatable for all levels of player interaction and gear level.

Very disappointed they are not instanced.

Should have been instanced: Each tower gives a KI, need all 4 to enter Omega/Ultima in their respective zone. Everyone that enters loses their 4 KIs like Ou.

Instead its just more trash mob Limbus for weeks on end. I am not even sure how they fix this event fumble.

Big financial mistake on their part but hey, you do you SE.

I can give counts or whatever might help if you're curious, but yeah the only quests I did were the repeatables for fame, avatar ones, pirates chart, things that gave valuable scrolls, etc. I didn't do nonsense for 250g and a fun cutscene.

I did do stuff that was useful then, but is useless now, like the subligar for lvl 50 bodies, walahra turban, lu Shang, etc. Not really sure what counts as a quest or what gives a title because again, I'm a pragmatic player. I've never chased titles or quest completions. Same goes for ROEs.

I'm reading that as "I've done basically no quests" considering the 10k gil from the avatar fights is probably in the upper 10% of quest rewards and well...that sucks.

Some quests have a unique reward (Scroll, armor, key item/map, ws etc..) the rest of them (ie most of them) have pretty lousy rewards.

There is an addon for that, switch_focus, it is in the windower launcher. Ashita has something similar I believe it is called focus

in one of the few instances where RNGesus blessed me on my third augment on ghostfyre I got +9 skill +20 duration and I've never looked back. It's such an amazing cape.
