If they're 6/6 region they will attack the strongholds it's just unbearably slow.
You have to be the savior of the whole region. Go kill any and all attackers every where so their focus is attack and not defending.
Including killing all generals that spawn in the stronghold even when there is no campaign battle.
Recruiting freelancers probably helps too, I guess, never done it personally

Fresh 8 today, having done quite a bit of battle content in the game, and realizing I hadn't ever actually completed the abyssea questline to "abyssite of the cosmos" level. Picked that up, zoned, and immediately dinged Rank 8. I've got an export from XIC if anyone's curious.
No Medal of Altana, barely any abyssea quests done; just what's absolutely necessary, with the exception of one RL day where I was all gung-ho about completing a bunch of quests and did maybe 8 and never thought about it again. I hate missions in general and tend to avoid them as long as I can.
I've got every combat/magic skill capped as high as she goes.
Primes: 2x S3 2x S4 1x S5 and some S1's.
A lot of REMAs that probably don't matter.
I don't like the way this tracks Monstrosity, as it's a little misleading. I've got 11.4M EXP in Mostrosity. I'm tracking that separately in a spreadsheet; I was focused on unlocking as much as possible for about a week during last month's campaigns. Not sure if it was necessary, given how I dinged, but hindsight. Before that, I only had 1 species at 60 and 1 at 33, the slimes from DQ, the race instincts, and that was about it. <1M EXP.
Stack of what I've done recently (most recent first)
The last 2 abyssea quests
Fishing.. I don't think I caught any new fish, though.
Monstrosity yesterday during Gain EXP, 7 mobs from 1-15, then 2 unlocks at 30, nothing crazy.
Cerberus Title
Discerning eye a few times, don't think I hit any threshold title-wise; trying to figure out how many I had done back in the day. Still don't know.
Adenium Bench grind
Started raising a chocobo (first ever) 3 days ago
Did ROEs, mostly NM hunts, to get that total to 800 completed.
MMM to 50+ clears, chased random titles from the bard
Chased some HTMB titles on VD over last weekend (4 I think?)
Divine Might redo, Divine Might HTMB VD
Wyrmking Descends
Finished the last 5 Meeble Burrows things I needed to Rank 3
Changed nations and did 2 Missions each in Bastok, San d'Oria
Bought like 18 titles worth of CP items as I switched, too.
Hunted a bunch of NM titles, maybe 10 or 12? I was missing a fair amount of those, and it was a fun thing to do right after reset.
Pre Update
Monstrosity, roughly 9-10M EXP
All Empy Gear to +3
The "easy" mog garden titles: 1000 mining, 1000 weeds, yeeztog hire
ACP Complete from the goblin KI stage
Bout title for the first time; totally different approach to bout than my usual
Golden Shovel and Ygnas from ~50/99 adoulin quests
Edit: XIChecklist Export below, playtime is 1692 days
