Question about the new "Assist" channel.

If the command for typing in the Japanese channel is /assist, what happens to the original /assist? Has that been changed or is it the same?

/ae (assiste) or /aj (assistj)

/assist is unchanged

This assist channel will be the only chat system in the game that is totally global, as in if you type something in it right now everyone on the server will see it no matter where they are (if they don't have it filtered)

I might be the first English mentor on this server? I'm not sure. Either way, when I first sent out a message I got several /tells...

How Do You Do That?!

It was wild. I can see it getting annoying for some players though, so I let people know you can click on the chat filter and it only works in the main cities:

Players can chat in the Assist Channel and view Assist Channel messages in the following areas.
Jeuno / San d’Oria (except Chateau d’Oraguille) / Bastok (except the Metalworks) / Windurst (except Heavens Tower) / Selbina / Mhaura / Rabao / Kazham / Norg / Aht Urhgan Whitegate / Nashmau / Western Adoulin / Eastern Adoulin / Tavnazia Safehold / Chocobo Circuit / Mog House (Rental House)

I'm interested about the Mastery Rank system. I'm on 5 out of 6 despite having several job masters, REMA's, missions completed and other things.

Perhaps having a max craft counts as one? It's the only thing I can think of. Either that, or it's tied to the number of completed RoE objectives.

Am also curious about the 48 hour time for new/returnee players. I think the window is too short. Should probably be a week, because it's unlikely that mentors are going to be on all the time.

If maximum Mastery is 6/6, I already have it. They didn't exactly give a list of in-game accomplishments so it's anybody's guess what they are.

My main craft is only 96 so it's likely not that.

I don't know what they were thinking with this assist thing, nobody is going to use it the way they designed it.

Literally the only use of it will be people trying to cap their mastery to 10.

How many RoE do you have completed? I'm on 799, but it's not like I tried hard to get as many as possible done. I know someone with 938 and is on 5/6.

Considering unlocking it is based on RoE completion, mastery is going to be based on completing objectives.

Higher ranks may be rolled out later or are tied to something else like the like / warning system. The channel itself is still technically being monitored for how players will use it.

According to the game manual it does not specifically state RoE. It could be several things, including the completion of quests not tied to RoE.

"Mastery Rank is a numerical value representative your completion of missions, quest, and various other types on in-game content. The higher the rank, the more you have completed. This rank has no effect on gameplay."

Same. Did a test message, got a few tells, then relayed a second message people can filter it in config if they didn't want to see it in log for good measure.

Where are you with missions/fame? I started a thread for gathering data. Wasn't gonna count each individual regular quest completed, so was just looking at max fame.

I've done all the missions. Fame is something I don't have a lot of in some nations, I'll have to check on those later.
