Mastery Rank Data

I'm not sure how kosher the whole addon would be, but let me think about it. It basically enables //commands for the process of entering the mazes, descending, popping temp items (for resets), popping NMs, etc.

I didn't really add anything for buying runes since I had already obtained 100% long ago, but I did want to have a quick way to check current total since the game doesn't make it obvious. It shouldn't be that hard to split out that facet of it, I'll just need to copy out the relevant menuing and test it.

There's a few other ones that kind of don't count. The ballista chevron titles only make one available to you for any given time period while you have the KI, and once you return it they are removed back off the NPC as well. I consider them all as non-obtainable.

The MMM ones aren't off a title bard, but can be bought for marbles on demand assuming you meet the required maze clears. I'm not sure if the game "counts" these, but I'm thinking it might since it does change the price to only 1 marble after you buy it once.

EDI is very easy, just tedious. 100 repeats of the quest, you don't have to do like every race/face/etc like one of the wikis claims. I recommend avoiding the two taru days, they can be absolutely terrible to try and identify pieces on. I just did all mine on the other six days and took a screenshot of each NPC every repeat for easy reference and to overall track my completions.

If memory serves the ships basically leave in one zone as they arrive on another so the best thing you can do is bounce between two zones back and forth. Sandy and Bastok or Windy and Kazham, I think.

Anything to target in Montrosity? I never really did it but it seems like it makes a solid impact for rank.

You can within a degree, and very inefficiently. As was mentioned, the 100 chocobuck trains will shift 2 points at a time, and you'll lose 2 stats from your highest stat. This means there's a limit of how far you can lower anything, and you can't really max two stats using them as you'll keep pulling it off the other one.

For the amount of chocobucks you'll need to make a huge shift of 50-100 points you might be able to raise an entirely new chocobo and conform it to the stats you want quicker, heh.

I can confirm that the Hoxne earring gives +25 to all stats at Rank 9, suggesting that Rank 10 does (or will) exist. I'm hoping it's not obtainable yet and depends on future content. Or at the risk of someone from SE popping in here and getting ideas, watch the 'Master of All' title be a hard requirement for 10... it would be fitting.

1. My total ROEs are 1084, I assume this is still the cap.

2. I have. I've made a decent amount of +4 gear, and I've been grinding pretty heavily recently on the new accessories (earring mostly).

3. I believe there should be 1101 titles present in the .DAT files, but not all are obtainable (or are "virtually" unobtainable). Some have never been implemented in game, and some are unobtainable for other reasons (Ballista Royale, Matchmaker, Besieged, the 'other' crafting shields assuming you made one, etc.). By my count, I have 1077 titles, and I'd count 1080 as obtainable. To hit that, I'll need to clear the last two Master Trials and use the race change service to play a female character for a couple weeks (watch out Bahamut for sexy Mithra Nav). Some, like the Ballista chevron titles and the _____ Adventurer titles are difficult to check back on, but I intentionally tried to push using Guildwork to create some kind of checklist for myself.

4. Yes, I've been pretty active lately. I assume V25s in Ody, Sortie, and Limbus are all newer than the original Mastery Rank system, and I've made progress is all of that content.

Still no one on Twitter with a screen crop of Knowledge Rank higher than 8 (and this is the set of players who cared enough to level it up + post on Twitter), so the currently unknown additional requirements for 9 and 10 are probably even more onerous due to this earring

Also, it's really hard to know what "counts" because SE hasn't given us a hard checklist. When it comes to titles that can't be easily re-obtained- do they "count"? Maybe there's an accounting of the _______ Adventurer titles server-side, but it's just not made visible to the player. As for Ballista chevron titles, these aren't easily re-obtained, but the Marshal NPC kind-of remembers your Ballista progress, so do these titles "count"?



(though for the job-specific chevrons, that could be 1+ of each job, or 26 warrior chevrons... it's unknown as to whether the game actually keeps track, regardless of what the player can see from the NPC)

Cheers! I've cleared Odyssey V25s/Sortie (though haven't dumped galli into a stage 5) so perhaps I just need to clear the new Limbus/Cloud of Darkness HTBF to be caught up then.

For what it's worth, while those of us who completed all the old Limbus objectives have 1084 ROEs still, I'm pretty certain that anyone who didn't can't obtain them any more as the category is removed.

EDIT: And while it's truly insane, I do think you can technically get all titles for escutcheons (not sure on ROEs, I think they reset when you give up the shield) if you were willing to keep destroying your finished shield each time. That would be a truly crazy amount of burnt gil though.

(possibly dumb) question - if you skill up all crafts to veteran to buy the guild point items to get all those titles, are you left in a perpetual state of potentially de-leveling your 110 craft when you eventually go back to it?

Also is that something the ranks 9s among us did? I originally avoided it as it felt "unreasonable" from a game design point of view then when i hit 8 forgot about it, now i'm not 9 i'm ready for the grind :D

Yes, I had to de-level each craft to grab the guild point items for the next. I don't think you need 110 for the titles, though- I believe it was only 90? But yes, I cycled around to collect the titles for each craft, ending on the craft that I intended to take all the way to 110 (bonecraft) and build a shield.

Correct, it's "88 and pass the test" to purchase the last title-giving item.

If you want to escutcheon, obviously you go to 110 there, so do it at the end to avoid having to double-level.

(If you want to goldsmithing escutcheon, you go to 98 leathercraft and buy the Signboard to get the Stall to get HQ tier 2 on Brass Jadagna +1 without having to worry about synthesis support... but you knew that already because an escutcheon is a big investment!)

I was building gp up for each craft beforehand before starting the leveling/deleveling process for the last titles on each, so I never got to that point

Thank goodness, because what a pain

The fact that anyone does this gives me a visceral reaction.... like gagging

I did the same, but I went to 98 to also pick up the KI for each craft because if I was going to waste time going up I might as well only do it once. Stayed in each craft to get GP for all items then moved to the next. Doing it during synth campaigns with skill gain gear/food wasn't really that awful at all.

You can either let it auto derank you by pulling points as you skillup or you can willingly recap yourself at any time back to 70 by talking to the guild masters. I have a screenshot somewhere of me being Expert in every craft before I dropped them down to Artisan again just so I wouldn't have to worry about random skillups dropping my final craft I'm going for shield on from 110.

Really wish we could just level every craft and get every shield on one char without being forced to specialize, but at this point it's part of the game design and unlikely to ever change. Plus they make tons of cash off people who pay for 8 mules/accounts to omnicraft I guess.

If you're going to 88, no reason not to keep going to 98 to get every "Way of -" key item.

Yep that's exactly what mine looked like, only with Smithing as the final 110 haha. I actually left them uncapped for a bit but when I was making some material (lumber I think) it deranked me from 110 and I was like "Okay, that's annoying, I'll cap them". Side benefit of stopping every guild master from screaming at me every conversation about having too many crafts lol.

I thought that the expert rank would at least help with solo synergy but last I checked, it doesn't actually count.

The crafting to 88 and deleveling wasn't even the worst part - but you can take a cool pic with all the stalls, aprons, and accessories.

Can you explain the Ramuh thing? I was going thru my titles and noticed I was missing some HTMB VD titles that the NPC says I have Honors on, and was sure I'd beaten.

The titles "Champion of the Dawn" (WotG mission) and "Fulmination Disrupter" (VD Ramuh) have spots on title NPCs (per the title inverter), but something about the tracking is messed up and they are never selectable even if you've gotten them before.

: currently me

i have been extremely lazy with RoEs so planning to finish those, and storylines/quests first, then will start chipping away at stuff like monstrosity/chocobo digging&raising.

is there a particular recommended order i do things in besides what i already have loosely planned? i have a craft i am planning to level during the campaign, but should i do the switcheroo stuff first? so i can get the stalls/titles from other crafts before going onto my desired craft/shield?

i feel like this is a pretty fun task, despite being basically overwhelming. stoked to have stuff to chip away at that i will at least be able to see a tangible benefit from while also having an excuse to do all stuff ive been way too lazy to do for years.

The main hurdle is needing GP to buy everything. Skiilling up from 70-88 in everything is the easy part.

It only takes about a month give or take to get enough for all the achievement ones per craft, assuming you're completing almost every daily. Cooking is obviously worse. This might sound long (probably will take most people about a year total) but given I worked on it alongside the 3 year requirement ones for the mog garden, they felt a lot quicker.

I also kind of "preloaded" my GP in advance at some of the guilds so that when the synthesis campaign came around, I could quickly skill up and buy the items then switch to the next guild and repeat. Though doing this will reduce your overall accumulation speed as you won't be able to get the highest ranked turnins which generally raise the average you earn.

Unless you're actively building an Escutcheon :(

Just finished a 119 climb of Temenos/Apollyon and upgraded one piece in Apollyon (not enough Temenos credits) but still rank 8. Hmm.

Make Mog Garden a part of your daily routine. If not actively skilling up crafts, at least be doing GP daily as well.

They withheld the crafting skill-up campaign quite a bit but this year they brought it back multiple times. Some crafts require hoarding of materials for the final stretch (Clothcraft comes to mind), so stock up so you're ready.

Which mog garden quest has 3 year requirement.
