Mastery Rank Data

I'm not super sure, because I did notice even before the mastery update that it felt like I was really far behind to even hit rank 8 compared to most others. A lot of folks here reported hitting rank 8 with a lot of stuff undone and in the 900s for titles, but I basically had 98% of the stuff above done and ~1025 titles before the game gave me rank 8 myself. My assumption was monstrosity or maybe even character age since this account is newer than most others.

I might be able to get Crystal Paradise done in the next couple months depending when people want to do it, and I'm actively working on the last V25s as well. I need to settle in for the 500 mazes I'm missing at some point (but some people, like Mischief, also don't have that either). Obviously I'll keep checking my rank after new accomplishments, there's just less and less of them available outside of monstrosity which I've been putting off haha.

I should probably try to buy a bunch of spheres during this new years event as well to try and work on finishing my shield as well, just to check that box off.

At the moment, my WIP stuff (rough order) is something like:

1. Finishing last 5 windurst campaign ops
2. Finishing last three V25 fights
3. Complete Crystal Paradise
4. Finish last DI vorseals (one a day due to lazy)
5. Finish last 500 MMM mazes
6. Finish smithing shield final stage
7. Commit to the monstrosity grind

I have a full suspicion that even doing the first 5 won't change anything, maybe even finishing the shield too. But at that point it would be pretty easy to isolate monstrosity (or some other factor) as the limiting factor as basically everything else is done lol.

Monstrosity would be the most likely since I basically have 1-6 done and we're very similar content completion wise but I'm still rank 8. If you can do that then we can fairly reliably say the first four MT are a requirement for rank 9.

Do the Limbus RoEs still count? I'm at 1070/1084, 4 of which are Escutcheon RoEs. I'm guessing the other 10 could be the colored Chips from old Limbus if those are counted as part of the 1084, though I don't recall ever setting the Proto-Omega/Ultima RoEs when I killed them, so I don't know for sure.

I just went from Rank 7 to 8 after gathering the last few survival guide warps I was missing.

I'd assume they "count" but aren't "required" for a rank, as in they're just extra points towards ranking but now can't be obtained any more. Given that most of the people with rank 9 posted here and have lots they still haven't done, there's probably a decent "buffer" of points. And of course, the earring goes up to rank 10 which we're all assuming isn't even possible yet (unless the final two master trials count for like 1000x as much as other things do)

Sorry, I mainly meant are people counting Limbus as part of the supposed 1084 max RoE objectives to complete.
