Speaking of ops, are there any additional requirements for Kinslayer besides beastmen control for Baileys/Keep? Does Beaucedine/Xarcabard influence matter? I'm guessing beastmen can't control either beaucedine or xarcabard.
Last week on my server we hat Fiat Lux access in sandy & windy but not bastok (bastok only had 2/4 local zones).
All 3 had access to Kinslayer: bailies & Bailey Borer.
Bastok did not have access to Kinslayer: Keep, which I'm guessing means they simply didn't do the first Kinslayer 16 times.
This week we only have Xarc, and both Kinslayer & Bailey Borer are gone. is that the loss of a Castle Zvahl zone or loss of Beaucedine Glacier that caused them to go away?
More info from other servers as to what conditions opened up Kinslayer: Bailies would be helpful. BGwiki is just an educated guess for now. So Baileys/Keep are beastmen this week for the first time in a couple months. Beaucedine/Xarcabard are Sandy. With some reconnaissance effort, Bailey Borer and Kinslayer: Baileys were unlocked. Then with additional effort and repeats (I can't pinpoint exactly what did it), Kinslayer: keep was unlocked. So that tracks. At one point, the Keep ops disappeared and reappeared.
Anyway, I'm not sure about whether Beaucedine/Xarcabard control affects the availability of the Kinslayer ops but the ops description suggests it might? Or maybe reconnaissance just isn't high enough?

just changed back to sandy for some Ops.
sandy controls: Throne Room, Xarcabard (S), all local zones including La Vaule, and Castle Oztroja (S)...
Beastmen control Beaucedine (S) and both castle zvahls, yet San d'Oria does not have access to any Smokescreens, even V.
edit: ... might be because i dropped 2 ranks changing nation. will upadte after i can rank up.
dawnlight medal... and no Smokescreen V or Aegis Scream V. odd
double checked, sandy does own xarcabard (S) and beastmen own beaucedine (S), so both should show up. can't imagine they both need medal of altana. oldwiki shows the lowest medal unlocking them both. wonder if it has to do with Throne Room being owned by sandy, or maybe castle oztroja being under standy instead of windy making them both vanish.

Has anyone earned the Ballista title "Gold Balli☆☆☆☆star" and not been able to set it again from Moozo-Koozo in San d'Oria? I got Gold Ballistar way back in the 360 days for the achievement, and when I went to check the Bard NPC in Southern San d'Oria this evening it was not an option.
To be fair, I earned it on a different server than the one I'm on now, and I'm not sure if that's data that gets wiped across servers... but I haven't touched Ballista on Odin and I can get the Rook Buster title, so I'm a little confused.
The Marshal in Ru'Lude says I have 917 Ballista Points and that I've previously been presented the Gold chevron 1 time (for the 1 time I got it on another server), meaning all other Ballista data is still linked to my character, so I don't think the title specifically was wiped from my character's data.
Is this a title whose data is linked to a title bard but isn't actually re-obtainable?

Has anyone ever reported Rank9 with less than 900 titles? I don't think I've seen anyone reporting that so far.
Anyway, I'm not sure about whether Beaucedine/Xarcabard control affects the availability of the Kinslayer ops but the ops description suggests it might? Or maybe reconnaissance just isn't high enough? Don't quote me on that but I seem to recall Kinslayer Keep/Baileys become available only if Xarc/Beauc are NOT under Beastmen control.

Given that the Ops description is:
"Allied forces have breached the gates of Castle Zvahl, only to be thwarted by the formidable enemy contingent within. Join the mercenaries of the Cobra Unit in a strategic assault on the castle baileys to remove the Kindred commanders and deal a serious blow to enemy morale."
It kinda makes sense.

I'm pretty sure you can only get ballistager and rook buster as permanent titles, and the other ballista titles can only be set by the bards when you actually hold the chevron still.
I've only gotten 3 or 4 ballista titles total, but if love to hear from someone who is willing to drop medal of Altana or derank in another way and test if the temporary titles count towards their rank. I would laugh my butt off if the 26 or so "temporary" ballista titles were the key to mastery rank 10
My old ballista post on this page I think: https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/55467/mastery-rank-data/38/
Edit:I currently have all of my alts subbed currently for other reasons.... Maybe I should try getting all the ballista titles ehhhhh that seems like a lot of work

Does the bard only hold one Ballista title at a time? That's a good question.
I downloaded FFXIChecker for the first time last night and spoke with Moozo-Koozo to inject the title data, and it said I had 1/2 Ballista titles. There are way more than 2 Ballista titles so maybe only two are permanent and would count for mastery rank.
By Kayte 2026-08-20 10:31:26
Does the bard only hold one Ballista title at a time?
It doesn't "hold" any. Every one of the job-based ones or ranking-based ones are only available for the week you own the key item as was mentioned. As soon as you return it you lose access to it, and to the bard it looks like you never earned it in the first place.
Like Avereith mentioned, those two are the only ones that permanently unlock (and one of the two ballista royale ones if you were playing way back then, I guess). Hence why in my titles addon and then xichecklist any ballista titles apart from those two are considered bonus titles and not regular ones to check off.
EDIT: I should clarify that, as with everything in this system, we have no proof if the chevron based titles do or do not count for mastery rank. If someone gets one and a rank goes up or loses one and a rank goes down, there would be some proof, but none reported yet. Given that the bards get data from the server about which titles your character has earned, the fact that they go back to unearned after a return lends the current theory that they don't matter at all more credibility, as without something on the server data to "track" it about your character, there shouldn't be any way for it to contribute to a rank tally.

The ballista npc in rulude or wherever keeps a running total of chevrons earned, right? Time to add those to xichecklist!

Also, it's really hard to know what "counts" because SE hasn't given us a hard checklist. When it comes to titles that can't be easily re-obtained- do they "count"? Maybe there's an accounting of the _______ Adventurer titles server-side, but it's just not made visible to the player. As for Ballista chevron titles, these aren't easily re-obtained, but the Marshal NPC kind-of remembers your Ballista progress, so do these titles "count"?
(though for the job-specific chevrons, that could be 1+ of each job, or 26 warrior chevrons... it's unknown as to whether the game actually keeps track, regardless of what the player can see from the NPC)
I posted this a while back, but the game *does* keep track of some of your Ballista progress. There are other in-game completions that count towards Mastery Rank that are not tied to titles or the bard NPCs, so it's entirely possible that Ballista does as well. As I pointed out, though, the NPC doesn't report each individual job-specific chevron, just the total amount. So it's unclear what data is actually stored about your character (are your individual chevrons remembered, and the NPC only reports the total, or is only the total stored?). As with many things, it's unclear whether this does or doesn't count, but I'd think it's realistic to consider it.
By Kayte 2026-08-20 11:16:54
It may or it may not, we would have to see if someone obtaining a new chevron/title ranked up from it, and then have them do nothing else for a week, return it, and see if it ranks back down. And avoid getting ballistager on the return as well. I don't think anyone's ranked up after one yet but almost no one does the content either. But if proven that getting a chevron-based title/KI can rank you up, then next thing to confirm would be if losing them removes their contribution as well.

Absolutely. I just think Ballista completion has been kinda hand-waved as probably not counting due to the chevrons/titles themselves being temporary, though the game does keep a permanent record of progress, and it's just as (possibly more) realistic a consideration as other things that have been discussed/tracked in this thread. I agree that the chevrons being temp KIs and the titles being temporary probably don't matter, but overall Ballista achievements very well may.
For instance, I would personally be surprised if things like MMM rune collection, meeble goal completion, Emporox unlocks, atamcite levels, claim slips, types of fish caught, permanent KIs (outside of Medal of Altana), etc. count while something like Ballista does not. But again, we don't have confirmation for *any* of these things, so it's entirely possible that none of it matters.

Yeah there's a lot of stuff in the xichecklist now and we still don't know what counts for anything except things we've seen rank ups from directly, so I'm all for adding the ballista npc chevron info to it.
If only because maybe people will be inspired to do ballista thinking the make believe points might make their hoxne earring better. Anything that brings more attention to dead content is a good thing in my mind.

For instance, I would personally be surprised if things like MMM rune collection, meeble goal completion, Emporox unlocks, atamcite levels, claim slips, types of fish caught, permanent KIs (outside of Medal of Altana), etc. count while something like Ballista does not. But again, we don't have confirmation for *any* of these things, so it's entirely possible that none of it matters.
Let's not inject uncertainty or doubt where it doesn't need to be. We already have confirmed Mastery Rank rank-ups / increases for everything you mentioned except claim slips and Ballista titles (and possibly atamcite levels / Emporox unlocks). But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't believe I am. I *specifically* listed things that, to the best of my knowledge, no one has reported ranking up from. If there's an account of someone ranking up from any of those things I listed, please let me know, it's entirely possible that I missed a post somewhere, and I am interested in the subject of tracking what does / does not count.

Congrats! You seemed to have alot less progress than me when I hit 9, EXCEPT for alot more Monstrosity levels. As most have concluded, things like levels seem to have alot / more weight than other activities.

compare with my previous rank up to 5
noteable things: didnt redo most AF quests after resetting, did many HTMB titles, did many HNMs (hydra vrtra nidhog etc etc), crafting and 2 goldsmith titles, started doing mog gardens then i abandoned it, a lot of domain invasions for max vorseals, maxed monstrosity except the event ones, did fiat lux (W), this time have medal of altana
the checklist calculation are different since last time (max monstrosity counts for 1 instead of 99, removed limbus/hidden ROEs etc)
* in short, its 888 points increase in current calculations
used AI to compare cuz im lazy ***

I got a question for the high rankers, are you guys killing NMs that dont give titles?
My whole reason for coming back after 6 years was to just kill every NM in the game for fun. Then I saw the xichecklist addon and I found a new purpose to play the game.
Basically i'm just wondering if NMs with no titles would count? Anyone seen or read about ranking up killing a no titled NM?

If you want to start nms without titles, you might as well follow the hunt registry list/system of its 400something nms. Someone has to do it!

Anybody has anything to share about MMM Voucher 8? The Fishing one.
How does it work?
Which fishing level should you be, at least, to have a realistic chance?
Approx drop rate of the 2 fishing rings?
Thanks for any useful info!

Use old wiki for MMM. Voucher 8 strat worked for me, listed drop rates matched my experience.

There are several posters with high familiarity of the inner workings of the game here, has anyone dissected the packets you get when loading a zone to identify any difference between a rank up and not?
I'm not discounting the process of doing all the things, but its clear for most people they just want number to go up as efficiently as possible so I wonder why the approach to this problem isn't narrower.
By LightningHelix 2026-08-23 10:15:39
The rank up is grabbed directly from the packet by XIChecklist (that's where the screenshots of "[Checklist] Mastery Rank increase/decrease" above come from) - but it only sends the rank, not any kind of progress bar. That's entirely server-side and opaque to us.

My humble take is that Mastery Rank isn't a "do all the things" quest. As far as a Rank Ups are concerned, I believe it to be a "do enough of everything" quest. We just don't know or can't figure out how much of a given content applies to Mastery Rank as a whole. I also believe that people who aim to 100% a piece of content before making minor progress in something else, are shooting themselves in the foot.
(Obviously if you're aiming to get to Rank 9, you're going to do everything, but I believe their are minimum barriers in some content that are required to Rank Up)

You are allowed to be wrong
You can't think it's a bit of this and a bit of that and know it's everything to rank 9.
It was made as lazily as possible. Stop trying to over complicate it. If there were some kind of minimums in place I wouldn't have been able to get rank 5 without doing more missions than the bare minimum for RoV.

You're missing my point. Rank 1-5 does nothing, and means nothing for actual benefits from Mastery Rank, like using Hoxne Earring. You're assuming that SE is going to qualify every Rank Up in the same exact way (i.e. points total). If SE is going to put a minimum rank-up condition (or even a lazy, minimum number of points), it's going to be on Rank 6/7/8/9/etc, where there is some tangible performance benefit. For all we know, it could be impossible to hit Rank 8 unless you BEAT TVR, right? Who knows?
There is no point in arguing about this because we'll never verify this condition in a deterministic way. You're not going try to get Rank 6 without ever entering Dynamis Divergence? or not touching Meebles/MMM. You're not going to aim for Rank 7 without having unlocked 1 monster in Monstrosity right?
I am advocating for people who want to climb Mastery Rank, to just do a little bit of everything, whenever the mood strikes them, and which ever piece of content they want to get invested in and whatever pace they feel comfortable.
If Rank 7 to 8 is a Lake, Rank 8 to 9 is an Ocean.
For anyone that wants to share where they are with Mastery Rank and there stats on quest/missions/roe and so forth. Rank can be found in menu under Status>Profile.
Any data helps, but more data for people at rank 6 can help us find possible base requirements. Stats from other ranks also can find baselines for those as well. Obviously stats from people if they notice when they rank up will be extra useful.
Square Enix said: Mastery Rank is a numerical value representative your completion of missions, quest, and various other types on in-game content. The higher the rank, the more you have completed. Source
The "other types of in-game content" might be hardest to figure out. Apparently at the moment Rank 6 is the cap?
Master Rank 4 with:
Rank 10 only in one city
Zilart/CoP main missions + epilogues completed
ToA/WotG/SoA/RoV main missions completed
No Addons done
451 ROE completed
Max Fame in Bastok, Windy, Sandy, Norg, Jeuno and corresponding linked areas
Relic/Empyrean/Aeonic completed, no mythics
