Mastery Rank Data

I would most likely assume that they simply added the newest stuff.

When mastery rank started TVR and Sortie didn't exist. So speculated that those pieces of content didn't count and now they will.

I just went from 8 to 9. It'll be interesting to see what the new max is now.

I was rank 7, I logged in and i'm rank 8 now.

Whatever they changed it's retroactive....

Maybe it goes higher than 8 now?

EDIT: seems people are reporting 9s... maybe it goes to 10 now?

I was rank 8 before the patch, still rank 8 after, and I have every (obtainable) title in the game except for the following:

• Maze Overlord (1000 MMM mazes, at like 500+/1000)

• Legendary Blacksmith (escutcheon, on spirit stage)

• Paradise Regained (master trial)

• Founder's Pride (master trial)

• Master of All (master trial)

I also think Ballistager broke for me and didn't award when it should have for some reason, I'll have to recheck that. I'm not including the 3x Besieged BCNM ones either as those are functionally impossible on Bahamut (maybe at 150+ we'll start losing it again).

I also have every ROE in the game done and have completed roughly 98-99% of the content in the game, though I do have some notable gaps I'm tracking to work on eventually that don't reward titles:

• Odyssey V25 atonement 3 and 4 clears

• Final Domain Invasion dragon vorseals (at like 280/360 of each)

• Missing ~8 Bastok Campaign Ops

• Missing ~30 Windurst Campaign Ops

• Pretty much all of Monstrosity (only have one species at lv90)

Other things that might have an effect would be total master levels (most of my jobs are 0-30, some near 40, no 50s), total amount of reforged armor (have barely touched limbus, most empy at +2, didn't touch many jobs pieces), total amount of completed REMAP weapons (zero relics, two mythics, two empys, all 16 aeonics, two primes here), etc.

My immediate goals will be to try and finish the crafting shield as that's likely worth more than average and then to buckle down on Monstrosity as others have said that seems to contribute quite a bit. Work on the high end content when I can find a group, and work on the gear/low content in my downtime.

I went from Rank 6 to 7 from this update. I can't speculate what they could adjusted.

If it helps anyone, I have 640 RoEs complete, All V25 clears and all Sortie RoEs completed.

How much you guys wanna bet the new Mastery rank cap is 11? :)

I always felt that was what the cap should be, like the Escha vorseals.

BP+ all earring that correlates to mastery ranking gives +5 all stats at Mastery Rank 5 and +10 at rank6

Did you just get it from Troves? Venus and not Mars orb?

I'm still only rank 8. If they raised the cap, it's by adding credit for content I haven't done.

Unless we want to believe Navius is lying, they raised the cap to at least 9, so it's not a matter of "if" they raised the cap.

Personally I never bothered with Mastery. I've always been 7 and now I'm 8.
If you want me to check a couple of things I'll be glad to report.

Since I saw them mentioned over the last few posts: yes, I do have Medal of Altana and Yes I have all HTBF completed on VD

A number of JP players on Twitter stating they logged into an increased rank as well.

Confirming, I am now Rank 7 and was Rank 6 before patch.

Jp Twitter has no pics of anyone at 9 atm so let's see some pics of 9+

I jumped from 7 to 8, 800 titles and 1038 RoE completions.

I have been grinding to get Mastery Level 8 with my multibox team, which has the unique twist of having a lot of retired friends characters and only one that was always an alt (so they have a fairly non-standard amount of old content cleared).

I was fairly certain I was closing in on rank 8 before the update, so I was checking my teams level before the update. Upon login, all 7 moved up a rank (3x 4->5s, 3x 5->6s, and my 7->8).

As I finish off my to-do list for the old rank 8, hopefully I'll ding 9.

If they added new things past titles, some examples could potentially be Limbus NM kills (which don't give titles) and Sortie progression (outside of titles, I think Primes/Sortie were introduced after the original ranking).

I was at rank 7 before the update and I remain at rank 7.

Oh, for sure. I didn't read, but I don't doubt they raised the cap. My point is that I haven't done much of the content introduced after Mastery Rank, which I always personally assumed didn't factor into Mastery Rank (titles after id 1030 in the windower res/titles.lua file), so:
1. Odyssey - Sheol Gaol - I'm only rank 15 for everything and rank 20 for low level stuff.
2. Sortie - I haven't made a weapon or killed all the basement bosses even.
3. Eschuteon - I haven't made one
4. Master Trials - I think I've only done one or two


I'm excited to have a reason to do obscure content again, although I've largely done everything that I can reasonably do with my current availability.

This would probably be a good opportunity to repost the script that checks your titles from each title NPC. Does anyone have it handy?

Yeah, Monstrosity matters a lot for some reason. That's what pushed me from 7->8. Just max out as many as you can.

EDIT: Also, don't forget Chocobo Digging. That pushed me from 6->7.

Gosh darnit. A rank cap increase might be the only thing to get me to login just to check if I go from 8 to 9. When's the next free login, lol

Should be late December. Was the 20th last year.

Since Mastery rank became a real thing with new AMAN ammo, it should not be a secret anymore how to raise the rank.

It's not. You know exactly WHAT to do.

What you don't know is how much of it, to do.

Go to the official forum and demand that they add a progress bar.

Hmm. I dont think "do anything in the game anywhere to some unknown point (maybe or maybe not counting)" means we´d know what to do. Take monstrosity for example. Its comon sense it raises the rank, but how? Max lv monsters? One lv90+ monster each species? Buy some/all instincts? etc...
I think its too easy to claim, we know what to do. We trained to follow paths and complete tasks (Missions, crafting, content, etc)to achieve what we desire. The mastery rank should be the same (now).

That's the defining difference isn't it.

You know what to do. You just don't know how much of it to do, as I said.

If you ask someone or the devs WHAT do I do. You WILL get the wrong answer.

That is not pedantry, it is accuracy.

I got mine from a Mars Orb that also gave me 5m when I opened the middle chest. Only opened 1 or 2 chests and got ITG thud and opened the middle.

It is, but the formula is invisible to the players, just like all other quest/access/progress things. The problem with Mastery Ranks is that it takes into account everything*, and there's too much content to list to determine what specifically weighs more heavily than others. It's complete speculation on what affects what, because every player will have different progress based on the number of things they have completed, so any combination of things can influence your rank.

It's probably like a progress bar of experience points, and every mastery rank requires a certain amount of "Mastery Points". i.e. Mastery 1>2 = 100, 2>3=250, 3>4=475 etc. Each ROE gives x amount of points, certain ones give y, others give z. Titles give x+1, etc etc. I'd be shocked if they made that information available to players, but then again, they've been doing some interesting things to make some content "Easier", so maybe they will at some point. Until then, the only advice on how to increase your rank is to "go do quests you haven't done".
