Mastery Rank Data
By LightningHelix 2026-01-11 11:01:51
If you open the equip menu then check the status, for certain rank up conditions, you can see a change without zoning. ...Possibly related, though I'm not actually certain: Opening the equip menu triggers a 0x063 incoming (merit points update) even though you're not in the "status" menu, which is where Merit Points are actually visible.
(this may or may not be because it also stores Monstrosity info in that packet and HNM status gives you more points to equip Instincts, that's my best guess)
Does Mastery Rank come in that one, and not 0x061 (same place as your own title)? Just a Pavlovian reaction to "hey I recognize [thing]", not a relevant post, but asking the real wizards.

Mastery rank is part of 0x01B, which shows up on zone, and at least some of the time when you check your status/title.
Code
-- Job Info
fields.incoming[0x01B] = L{
...
{ctype='unsigned char', label='Mastery Rank'}, -- 66
...
}

Yes, precisely. In the cast of my Rank 8, I didn't rank up until I completed the final nation related quest, RoE + Portal Charm.
For RanoutofSpace's Rank 9, he completed his last quest in Windurst (Scooped) 100% that nation's quests. The Hoxne earring reaches from -30 to +30 all stats in increments of 5, makes 12 blocks.
Now it would be interesting to know which parts the individual "blocks" of content consist of.
I guess it's likely that finishing all quests and missions of the full scale expansions (Zilart, Promathia, ToAU, WotG and SoA)
each count for 1 block? Maybe includes the RoEs attatched to them, for instance limit breaks with the jobs of that expansions, Artifact armor and lvling them to 99.
I'd say full voidwatch + abyssea clear and all quests could count for one, maybe mini expansions are also included in this block?
Voracious resurgence and rhapsodies might count for a block each.
That would make 8 blocks so far, which ones would the other 4 be?

Guys. It's just points. On an invisible bar.
You do a thing. You get a point. You do a different thing you get 2 points. You get a thousand points you get a rank.
I don't know why you feel the need to over complicate it.
(I do actually know why)

I agree that it's probably just a simple point system, where different things are worth different points. I think we have some evidence that there are two classes of things that give points, Completion (of some larger set of things) and Incremental (points go up with each achievement).
Completion:
* All quests in a category (e.g. all Windurst quests)
* All campaign medals
* Missions(?)
* Homepoints / Survival Guides / Waypoints / Proto-Waypoints / etc. unlocks?
Incremental:
* Crafting skills (inc. digging)
* Melee skills
* Monstrosity levels?
* Species unlocks
* Titles
* (playtime?)
* (Levels?)
For instance, I put digging into the Incremental category because multiple people have reported rank ups from improving their digging skill, but I think some of them weren't capped yet.
The concept of "Completion" gets a bit hairy with sets that are not completable (e.g. The Rivalry / The Competition in Port Sandy) or have dead quest entries in the .dats (like Jeuno), but perhaps they programmed around it or perhaps it isn't possible to get a completion reward from San d'Oria quests.

Nevertheless this whole mastery rank must have caused this resurgence of fish botting because moat carps are the hot ***on the AH right now.
On Odin it's selling at a rate of ~60 stacks/day right now and I think I've seen 70+ stacks/day sold during free campaign on bahamut.
On asura at a price of 100.000/stack that's around 83.300.000 Gil for the completion of the lu shang quest while the rod itself costs just 2-3 million...

Completion:
...
Incremental:
...
I have this exact breakdown in my notes. I put the same content in the Incremental category. I think content in this category can cause a Rank Up ...but the content itself is largely inconsequential or optional. Your character misses nothing if they never do this content, so SE allowed for incremental progress towards Ranking Up. (My Two cents / opinion).
I got an alt last month that is literally just level 99 Whm with no sub and has nothing else done. Anything you guys want me to check before i start doing stuff on it?
Yes, please! Could you tell us if you rank up from 1 to 2 (What's your current mastery rank?) just by unlocking monstrosity or getting the first monster from 1 to 30 (takes about 35 minutes, kill 10 mobs in W.Ronf, then Kill 15 mobs in Jugner Forst).

Which RoEs count for the total number? Only the not-repeatables? All? (and how to check if done any repeatables befor?) Not the D/W/Ms?

I know there was talk on opening Campaign Ops earlier. Anyone have any insights on opening Granite Rose III? I've done 25+ reps of Granite Rose II and did Aegis Scream II 16+ times.
Granite Rose II didn't open until I did a few reps of Aegis Scream I, but it seems like this time it won't budge. Those are the only two ops in that section on my sevrer so far.
21 more ops to gooooooooo
Edit: Logged in and Granite Rose III is open. Guessing someone else got it to open. Not even midnight yet, so it's not the ol' JP midnight.

IIRC 3.5 yalms but I don't know why I think that. In practice, what it means is that you can lock into walk mode, auto-run, and as long as you don't get stuck you'll be able to dig more items.

I do agree with that it's probably simply points-based, so like 100 mastery points for rank 1, 500 for rank 2, up to some undefined number for rank 10. However, I don't think it really differentiates between "incremental" and "completion", there's just likely different weights for different quests/missions/titles and things like the final mission or a really difficult quest are probably worth more points. Different quests have different fame values so this isn't really unheard of.

Thank you for help here.
Any RoE that doesn't reset itself after a given time frame (daily, weekly, monthly) should count towards the 1084 possible. This is different from repeatable ones which will count (though you only have to do them once to clear the yellow dot marker).

It should have just been repeats of Granite Rose II, but it's possible your nation didn't have enough other stats needed to unlock it as well. We've seen some weirdness where certain ops should be unlocked after a weekly reset (like even the tier 1s) and aren't until a few hours or even days elapse. It's probable that the nation needs a certain recon level or substats as well.

I have some questions about the "Brown Magic Guinea Pig" title.
Since the count stated by the NPC resets every server maintenance, does that mean your progress for the mini-quest resets too? Also, when it reaches 10,000, does that mean anyone on the server can also get the Brown Magic Guinea Pig title too after it reaches that count? I tried this quest before the recent maintenance and only got the skill-up message at 1000 NPC count even though I had done about 100-200 before the maintenance, so I was curious.

No, it resets after it hits 10,000. So if you trade 9,999 and some other guy comes along and trades the one green #10,000, you have to trade another 10,000 to get the title.

Right? It would be too kind of SE to make it this NPC retain personal progress, instead of server-wide interactions. The craziest part about this service/NPC to me, is that I probably went 10+ years without knowing it existed. Then...then next 10 years, I didn't bother to use it and just kept Antacids on me.

unironically, does /follow not get broken by dig like autorun does, because I will *totally* do this and afk for half an hour and come back and mount up and repeat [solely for laughs, mind you. daily fatigue is better when you're not out.]

For anyone that wants to share where they are with Mastery Rank and there stats on quest/missions/roe and so forth. Rank can be found in menu under Status>Profile.
Any data helps, but more data for people at rank 6 can help us find possible base requirements. Stats from other ranks also can find baselines for those as well. Obviously stats from people if they notice when they rank up will be extra useful.
Square Enix said: 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. Source
The "other types of in-game content" might be hardest to figure out. Apparently at the moment Rank 6 is the cap?
Master Rank 4 with:
Rank 10 only in one city
Zilart/CoP main missions + epilogues completed
ToA/WotG/SoA/RoV main missions completed
No Addons done
451 ROE completed
Max Fame in Bastok, Windy, Sandy, Norg, Jeuno and corresponding linked areas
Relic/Empyrean/Aeonic completed, no mythics
