Mastery Rank Data

My very thx, Kayte!

is there a quest tracker lua or addon for tracking quests?

I wrote a tiny python script that will take your missing titles from the title NPC addons written by Thorny (Ashita) or Kayte (Windower) and generate an HTML report that is sortable/clickable. It gives you a running total and even directly preserves links from BGwiki. The link for each of their respective addons is in my README:

https://github.com/Fel-FFXI/TitleReportGenerator/blob/main/README.md

If i follow Kayte`s explanation and Trust/shared Trust tasks get new big bubble next round, then these dont count, ay? But its not (UC)s in general, because Unity-NMs bubble icon becomes small, which means it counts, yes?

Unity NMs add to the RoE count, just clear once if you haven't before.

If you haven't done the Harvesting RoEs... oh boy, better pack some HELM tools and HELM gear if you got. I had field rope/torque stored on mules and moved the items to put them to use.

And for the Adoulin zones, don't forget about
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Floralie

who sells the special Adoulin tools (two of the other nearby NPCs sell Adoulin-only gathering gear and Adoulin-gathering-only key items)

Thank you, Zuidar. Iam happy to read, that i dont have to deal with dozens of Unity-Trusts tasks :-)
I also wont forget Floralie now.

Mini update. I finished crafting shield, so I dropped my medal of Altana to put me on rank 8 before i completed it to see what happened, and I did go back up to 9. so Medal of Altana is NOT a hard req for rank 9. (1022 titles using Kaytes addon)

Thank you for doing this. Your observation also lends itself to the idea that a hard requirement for ranking up can be X of Y conditions. We know that titles (and perhaps fanfare music too) give us Points. As we accumulate points, we probably also need a number of Milestones within FFXI. For the sake of argument, I'll name some of make-believe Rank Up Milestones right now:

Rank 10 all nations,
RoV complete
Combat/Magic Skills complete
500 RoE including AF RoE quests,
Crafting Shield
50 Monstrosity Monsters unlocked
Chocobo Digging to level 3
...This list goes on and on...
...etc etc.

It is very possible, and very likely that Mastery Rank is merely a number of Title Points PLUS 2/4/6/8/10/.../18/20 out of these 20+ possible milestones.

I'm using this knowledge to see how far I get with Mastery Rank before dinging my last job to ML50.

Ok, so we also know crafting shield definitely gives points, and possibly a lot because medal of altana was worth like 12 titles or something when I checked at rank 8

i was able to use the titles addon to see how many titles i have. but still need something to check missing quests and or campaign ops, anyone have a good way of checking those?

so who's going to drop their shields and make all the shields to see if they can reach mastery 10 from all the shield titles? lol

Currently at 1050 titles and losing medal still brings me to 8 - maybe because you've completed all Ops?

I know you're joking, but this was something I was curious about. I asked a few pages back, but I'll ask again- does anyone know someone who made multiple shields on the same character? Can the title from the first shield still be assigned from a bard NPC? I'm curious if the game completely 'forgets' any previous shields you created when making a new one, or if there's *actually* potential for boosting Mastery Rank by building multiple shields.

You lose the artifact armor titles when you reset the quests so it wouldn't surprise me if you lose the shield title.

That's what I suspect, just curious if anyone's ever verified it.

Similarly, has anyone ever verified if you can *lose* a Mastery Rank by starting a new Mythic weapon? It resets quest progress, so it might.

Title 1051:


Only things left are:
- Besieged Loss Titles x3
- Master Trial x2
- Ballista x26

The only things left that I can think of:

Chocobo Racing:
Moved to Windurst for Chocobo Racing in case you need to win in every nation.

Campaign Ops:
11 Campaign Ops left but impossible on Asura and will need to server transfer to do but one-way trip currently so not going to do that.

Incursion:
KI is at 127 currently, can slowly bump that up.

Odyssey:
MM is now at 41/45. Finishing off the last few NMs I need clears of then comes the very dull Aurum Coffer farming. B/C done, just A remains.

Other than those though, I'm not sure what else is left to do in the game.

Grats on EDI Title! What is your progress on Monstrosity? How many instincts? Do you have all ~180 monsters?

All monsters/instincts/all level 99.

It's worth pointing out that the Dragon Quest crossover event now gives a very unique/rare species. This event is only once every 4-5 years so don't miss it!

God damn! So even with all of monstrosity done, you still only reach Rank 9? Jeez.....Rank 10 really is unattainable.

I aggregated the rankup achievements over about half the thread here. I'm working under the assumption that pre-rank 9+10 points are unchanged. One counterpoint to that was someone who claimed the update deleveled them from 5 to 4.

The list is going to be biased towards obscure achievements, because (said lovingly) the kind of nerds who post on XIAH about their mastery rank tend to be chasing the obscure stuff.

Yeah we aren't getting 10 without killing August and Bahamut. Makes sense to need Master Trials done to finish Mastery Rank.

Very true, but I have an issue with the messaging / lack of messaging from SE.

I would rather SE say: "Mastery Rank 10 is attainable in game, currently", instead of leaving us wondering (and speculating as to whether Wing of War is even beatable right now). We probably will need Rank 20-30 Limbus gear, perhaps? Honestly, I have no idea.

The context is: What should I even be working towards right now? (Stage 5 Prime weapon, Limbus Gear ....to what end?) What's coming next?

As far as I'm aware all the groups that were attempting wings of war gave up on the master trial. Is anyone actually still actively attempting it? I know the group that first cleared August felt like despite huge obstacles they were making very slow, but nevertheless... progress over time. Wings of war just stonewalled people and after an extended duration of hitting the same mechanics without any indication of how to overcome them the groups who were attempting the fight just gave up.

I won't go into much more detail unless the powers that be want to discuss the trial. I know groups that vie for world first like to be secretive about their progress so I won't say anything more lest it irk someone. Just curious to know if people are even trying it at all nowadays.

@kayte how do i find out how many titles i need after running your addon?
also are u sharing your quest log file to track quests and also your addon for brownmage quest

actually i got the titles fixed missing 71 total i didnt see the commands till a few min ago

Aside from Monstrosity I've done nearly everything and I haven't even made it to the start of rank 9 yet. I've done literally hundreds of things that most likely give credit since hitting rank 8 and I don't have hundreds of things that give credit left to do. So I highly suspect rank 10 is not attainable in the game currently.

I suspect Rank 10 is unobtainable as well, but I think it's more likely to be obtainable than I did a few weeks ago.

Someone from a prog group was in my chat the other day discussing it. They said they have found a way that might be possible, but it requires a lot of RNG and so they're really burned out. I'm not sure if they're still doing attempts or are giving up, but that was less than a month ago, I think, so I believe some people are still trying, sometimes.

He didn't go into a lot of details, because those groups love to keep secrets to themselves for world first reasons or whatever, but I believe based on what he was saying We're probably not understanding some mechanic and/or it's extremely tight.

Wings of War is definitely beatable right now, whether it be reliant on luck or not, it's doable. Has been for a long time. IRL has been keeping me from going in there, who knows about others. Scheduling is the real hardest content.

What impossible campaign OPs? Unless there’s ones that require a city to fall under beastmen control or at least under attack I don’t see anything being impossible there on reasonable time scales as usually players neglect it late month
