Mastery Rank Data

Sandy needs to lose zones and that does not happen on Asura.

Dinged to rank 9 after completing the final star onion quest "The Promise", which was not the final quest in Windurst for me. This quest granted me my 942th title.

Also my rank immediatly went up once I finished the quest / received the title. Did not require zoning.
Edit: I am actually not sure if I got the rank up from the previous quest and only saw it after I zoned and finished the last one.

ROE: 1079
Total titles: 942
- missing titles include: "Mimic Masher", 3 MMM titles, 5 Mog Garden titles, 2 Besieged titles, but mostly missing titles from quests
Quests remaining: 35 in Sandy, 42 in Bastok, 39 in Windurst
Chocobo digging: Artisan
Master trials: finished "Unafraid of the Dark"
Odyssey: V25 cleared only on t1s and t2s, V20 on t3 and Bumba
Sortie: Never killed Aminon, one Prime at stage 3
Crafting shield: did not start one yet
Monstrosity: All unlocked species level 60+ (missing Legendary Manticore)
Maze Mongers: Missing a bunch of runes
Vorseals: Missing a few here
Campaign: Cleared all ops
Playtime: 983 days

Not sure what else to add, but I still have a long list of things to complete.

I will lose my medal of Altana and test how many Monstrosity levels it takes to gain the rank back.

Monstrosity plan sounds great! I'd love to know for sure how many / which levels it takes.

I'm done aggregating the thread up to this point with what ranks people up. Monstrosity is probably worth a lot of points, but I think it shows up so much in this thread because it's very skippable.

Monstrosity is "high value" because it's just EXP

it's like adding another 100 jobs on top of the 22

I'm just glad REMAs aren't part of the list.

Yet* technically, no one has reported ranking up from a master trial in this thread either even though we all agree they seem to be inportant

We can't really rule anything out and the reality is that we don't have that much data yet. The only person that tried to figure out what increases rank in a systematic way was Eiryl and he was hurt by our lack of understanding of the system at the time (e.g. when are rank ups reported?)

I assume rema do count they just don't count "a lot"

In a point system they're not 1000 they're like 10

The first one counts a lot, all 50 assaults, 50 nms, clearing half of abbysea, doing 200 coalitions. But the second one is just a second weapon.

Not unique to just Asura, Sandy just has better NPCs than the other two nations because they send paladins. It took me babysitting the zone starting from Tuesday and by Friday I had full 100% for beastmen by train MPKing one by one defending NPCs to force retreats.

Vunkerl and Eldieme are best zones to force a zone lost. Batallia doesn't work because the Blm Orc attacking force that is constantly sent to that zone is terrible. Three-eyed Prozpuz is also a big moron in Vunkerl and will MPK himself because of the stupid Bindga and run away AI but luckly all his ranger are still great at single targe dps.
