Mastery Rank Data

So here's a thought concerning one of the unknown/maybe unobtainable titles "Matchmaker"

Soooo I was thinking the trion bride quest before as most others, but the official SE wording refers to the in-game chocobo breeding as matchmaking:



So who wants to go breed like 50 or a hundred chocobos and find out if a title pops? I think you can make a baby once a day

or breed 50+ different chocobos? terrible ugh

Or there are 4 different breeding plans, so maybe 10x with each plan? Idk

Just speculating

Another mini-goal/thought. If key items count for mastery rank points, don't forget to get as many armor storage claim slips from the armor storage npc as you can!: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Armor_Storage_NPCs

one thing confirmed, fortune's favorite or high roller titles are not related to winning over 2.3mil in a single chocobet <_<, lol



I came up with somewhat expensive way to game the system to force a big payout. If you simply bet on every single combination with the max bet you can even out the odds and get well over a mil in the race no matter who wins. You will never actually win money, but I'm willing to throw away some to title test, ha. That 2.3mil win, for example, came from spending around 3.2mil on tickets, so a 900k flat loss.

Either way, I think I'll at least trying getting up to 10mil+ total cumulative payouts and see if the high roller title pops. I'm not willing to give up enough gil to test to 100mil+ cumulative payouts. Fortune's favorite is probably win a bunch of races in a row (10+? 50+?) that you bet on (which I guess you can also force with this method since you'll have every winning ticket combo), or maybe total bets won overall, neither of which I'm too interested in testing.

All quests finished: O

my last 15 quests were all abyssea resistance ops, ha

also 985 titles. slow and steady.

Necrooooo Bummpppp

Haven't had much FFXI time lately (work and new ps5)

But did manage my 3rd master trial win! slowly still building that mastery rank, ha

Congrats :) I love the weapons!

Figured I'd give this a necro. I haven't played much lately but I'm definitely not done, at least with the title grind.

My route to 1000 is probably the following 10 titles:
2 from bonecraft 70k and 100k gp purchases
2 from cooking 70k and 100k gp purchases
1 from airship quest (80 clears left)
1 from vd lilith
1 from mimic bc kill
1 from ultima/omega master trial
1 from mog garden 500 entries (19 days away)
1 from 50 choco circuit wins (38 currently)

Hopefully I'll get the random adventurer title at some point so I don't have to do one of the harder ones to get to 1000 ;;

Still working on completing armor storage Key items (81/88 currently, 4 of those will need redoing of AF quests, boo)

And will resume monstrosity grind when next exp campaign comes (all level 60+ currently, and 9/64 level 99)

THIS HAS BEEN MY TED TALK

Exp campaign coming next month. Time to get your grind on for that mastery rank! My 55 uncapped monstrosity monsters will be waiting patiently

Noooo how will I update my titles

it's back up

Indeed it is! thanks for the alert

Think they'll ever bring back the dq/ffxiv crossover event stuff? not having the metal slime/red slime, and the two other spriggan subspecies in monstrosity is buggin me.

DQ one I would expect "soon."

Lol the taru's blade is so small.

I-it's not the size that counts - it's how you use it!

Still missing 4 subspecies in red/metal slime and the two other spriggans, but oh god at least I never need to level anything ever again

What was the most fun to play?

Anything that wasn't a war was novel enough to be fun. There are way too many war monsters. One of the pugil was fun as cor to give myself exp roll, and the toucalibri was neat for a single march I suppose.

But the most fun was the dragon quest slime simply for the fact that your hit and critical hit sound effects change to the ones for dragon quest :D

The worst monsters to play are definitely the slow ones... Marid is something like -40% speed, ugh.

Sooo...has anyone found these new RoEs? Missions completed, RoE NPC contacted...nothing

Found them...

Elijah (G-6) in Upper Jeuno gives them after completing the missions.

Grants additional silver vouchers (M).

Not sure these'll count towards mastery rank.

Probably not. They are just monthlies so doesn't add a number to the total completed.

I actually forgot those existed after doing them once

and title 995 is my last chocobo racing title!



That finishes chocobo racing "technically" for me, but I still need to do Bastok story races. It does save story race progress when switching racing nations (just checked by swapping back to sandy from windy), so gotta get em done!

Someone quick, start a new character and race me to 1000

I was finishing maats cap yesterday and realized that each bcnm is its own title with the job in it... "shattering stars (whm)" as an example. It made me think, if the game can track that you beat those for the maats cap quest, are the other xNM bcs part of the mastery rank?

There are titles for VD BC's

https://www.ffxiah.com/node/433 (where every title comes from / Things that count for Mastery Rank) ((It's not updated with Gaol and the newest TVR))

I was more talking about the old burning circle orb battles that we no longer do, not the newer ones with titles. I dont think its something people might have considered is all.

I don't really think that any capped BC matters for anything, but if there is a rank 9, beating them all would be something you'd look into.

Aye, I would much sooner make a checklist of old level capped BCs and beat them all before I tried completing something like all hunt registry quests

Plus, most level capped bcs are CAKE solo on something like pup, unless theres like 12 targets or something at the start...

OH, and I forgot to say, but if anyone is curious about mastery rank ideas

I thought of the XBOX 360 version achievements and maybe they expanded off of that sort of thing as a starting point: https://www.xboxachievements.com/game/final-fantasy-xi/achievements/

Interestingly enough, I do NOT have a soul reflector from pankration, and that is one of the xbox achievements so I'll have to play around in pankration at some point, so even at rank 8 there's things I haven't even thought about touching. And the gold ballistar title from ballista is on the achivement list as well, but that's in the works whenever guildwork gets fixed so I can flush the titles easily

Fiat Lux available on lakshmi right now. Wasn't paying attention to campaign stuff all week so I didn't notice, ha.

GET DEM CLEARS (and lockstyle gear)

Title 999 is my last master trial completed :O



Would have been awesome if it was the one for title 1000, ha
