Man, SE really threw us for a loop a few months ago, in good way (About May 20-June 9, 2025). Everyone who logged in regardless of level or /playtime got a Rank 1 Mog Bonanza Kupon!
I'm still beside myself and haven't been able to choose!
...And then, the Hoxne items a few weeks ago!
...I hope SE continues to surprise us! I've even had alliances the past few days trying to get titles and RoE completions for everyone!
Let's keep it up SE! (please don't forget regular BST updates, Thanks :D )

I can get our SCH's gear set, they were able to get 94~96K kaustra 1 every time without needing day bonus. Day made it hilarious but we never had a KI reset and good aura 2 during darks day.
This would be appreciated. If you could also include any other debuffs/buffs/food that they used it would also be helpful. Thank you.

Wouldn't it be sadistic but on brand for SE if to get Mastery Rank 10 your total times KO'd couldn't be above a certain number?
Blood for the blood god, Skulls for the skull throne

I'd love to work toward this exact bird. How did you go about it for plans, food, etc?

Just a handful. Will be able to do most of them solo or with a couple people. Just make sure you have the pop items.

But in this particular comparison, Steel Cyclone's fTP was not raised as high as Mistral Axe or Calamity. Or Savage Blade. Or many other weaponskills.
Depends on the WS, Savage with Martial Analance is still silly but Martial Bhuj with Steel Cyclone is pretty whack. At 2K TP it has 2.5 fTP that grows to 4.0 along with 60% STR and VIT, not to mention a 50% attack bonus. The pDiff cap is considerably higher now then it was back in the day and at 75 you don't usually have enough buffs / debuffs to consistently hit it making attack bonus valuable. Ground Strike is 3.0 fTP at 2K TP with 50% STR / INT and 75% attack bonus. At 75 Great Axe will probably still do awesome, cause he can 6-hit with /sam and white damage will be a higher % of his damage, but Steel Cyclone isn't gonna touch Calamity.
Of course, on the other hand since he's allow sky god augments, he can get Great Axe Skill+ on Hecatomb feet, and gain access to Fell Cleave at level 75. and so if he builds a good enough hybrid set and uses a couple of healing trusts, he can Fell Cleave multiple meripo level mobs like the Seaboard Vultures and make Gaxe come out on top, particularly his augmented Byakko's.

This is going to sound unhinged, but I've been doing some testing at level 75 cap for WAR. I have been testing a Byakko's Axe with a DMG +22, DEX +3, VIT +5 augment using Steel Cyclone and King's Justice vs Martial Axe using Mistral Axe while dual wielding, so no TP bonus outside of what the axe provides. I ws in the following set:
ItemSet 401292
Please forgive the Fotia Gorget, I had been doing Rampage Spam with maneater but haven't swapped it out yet for Fang Necklace or Chivalrous Chain.
What I found interesting was that Byakko's Axe was not carried by its high base damage. While GAxe WS aren't known for their good ftp, the Byakko's WS were somewhere around 2900 to 3300 on Seaboard Vultures (level 83-84) and around 1900 on Roc. Meanwhile Martial Axe/Ridill doing Mistral Axe was both more frequent and consistently hitting 4400 on both without Warcry.
If you're limiting yourself to 75 and using TP modulated weaponskills, then the Martial weapons will clown on everything, including augmented sky god weapons.
But in this particular comparison, Steel Cyclone's fTP was not raised as high as Mistral Axe or Calamity. Or Savage Blade. Or many other weaponskills.
For whatever reason, SE did not raise the fTP on Steel Cyclone, Ground Strike, Tachi: Kasha, Spiral Hell, Retribution, Empyreal Arrow, or Detonator by nearly as a significant amount as they did to 1-handed weaponskills that operate on More TP = More Damage.
For the most apt comparison:
Savage Blade used to have an fTP of 5.0 at 300% TP. After the TP rework and fTP updates, it sports 10.25 fTP at 3000 TP.
Steel Cyclone used to have an fTP of 3.0 at 300% TP. After the TP rework and fTP updates, it sports an fTP of 4.0 at 3000TP.
I don't remember Mistral Axe's original value, but it was one of the 1-hander WSes that got cranked up hardcore during the TP reworks. Nowadays it sports an fTP of 13.625 at 3000 and 10.5 at 2000, only being weaker than Savage Blade due to not having a secondary WSC.
TL;DR - 1handed weapons were heavily favored in the TP rework updates. There are very few 2-hander weaponskills that kept up or were reworked to even similar values. The only one I can think of that's really kept up, without delving into Empyrean/Prime WS is Cross Reaper.

Martial Bhuj doing Steel Cyclone is going to be super strong, or even Martial Sword doing Ground Strike, King's Justice makes an apperance due to it's TP scaling along with multiple hits. Since the WS rework those WS's have amazing TP scaling along with very strong WSC's.
If you want to see really silly stuff, Martial Analance + Ridill doing Savage Blade, and people complain about Naegling.

Hello, spinning ***

Having done this journey myself recently on a fresh character with WAR as my first 99.
1. Get i119 Bayld Gear in Adoulin
2. Start soloing V2 Ambuscade to get Flamma Head, Body, Feet, along with Sullevia Hands, legs, Feet and start working on Kaja Sword.
3. Do Adoulin to unlock Vagary/Sortie. Also run some Kindred Crest battlefields to get Kupon-I for your Empyrean armor. If you can do Vanabout, get the 700 points for your full set of AF+3.
4. Upgrade your Empyrean Head, Body, Hands, Legs, and Feet to +2.
5. Wait out your 90 days, run yourself through Odyssey Shaol A, B, and C. In this time get 2 more jobs to 99. Find a kind soul to kill Kolunga for you, get Sakpata Armor. In this time you can also have gotten Kaja Spear and Kaja Chopper.
6. When you've done your monthly RoEs to get enough Deeds to get a Pulse weapon upgrade your Kaja Sword to Naegling.
7. Begin working towards an Aeonic Great Axe, Chango.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Job_Guides#Warrior BG Wiki has some guides to look at as well. The All Jobs sets are more WS specific and don't really have tiers, but can give a good idea of what to shoot for so you can extrapolate. The Community Guide has some tiers of gear.

For the sake of experimentation, does anyone have 950 Titles and is Rank 9 or 1050 Titles and Rank 10?
Doing a reverse count (total of 1101 titles, subtracting the ones impossible to obtain due to bugs, unimplemented, exclusive, etc) and the six I don't have yet, I get a count of 1042 owned. 1043 once I retry Ballistager. 1048 would be the most possible without doing multiple escutcheons, going to a dead server for besieged BCNMs, and/or SE fixing broken titles.
Still rank 8 here.

Useful, for those warriors with time machines.
I have a few jobs I kept at 75 for nostalgia purposes, WAR was one of them. I've been curious to see how much old content you can do these days. The merit categories were massively buffed compared to 2010. Trying to see what good trust combos there are other than the usual Qultada, Joachim, King of Hearts, Monberaux setup. I had high hopes for Iroha II, but her damage at 75 is about 500-700 a WS. Sylvie only gives you Regen. Might just be Shantotto II to round it out.

Ballistager (seems bugged for me, won't award it on return of a chevron)
There's a trick to this one. The chevron title needs to be active when you turn the chevron in.
Basically, when you turn in your chevron, you can no longer have the associated title. So if the title is active when you turn in the chevron, the game needs something to reset your title to- that's the Ballistager title.
Oh good, I'll try this out then. Everyone else was just saying "give it back after a week" and it wasn't working after several tries so I just moved on for now. I'll give that a whirl and make sure I put the chevron back on first, if that works I'll be down to 5 titles left hah.

We did the first/third impact early in the SC and second/forth late. We ran into the issue of trying to reapply while the prior impact was still on.

BUMP:
Updated original post with:
Quote: It appears as though everyone actually wants the title... and the bounty was a non-factor. As a result we don't currently have enough people for all 25 zones, unless some additional people wanting bounty/not caring about title show up w/ Black Abyssites OR current attendees being more alts to fill zones.
Hopefully we can fill the last few slots to have enough for 25 pops (just incase that's requires / FOR SCIENCE!)
