Mastery Rank Data

Correct, same thing there for CD and VX. Spam I until II's available, II until III. IV when northlands is under control.


Spam II until III - have to double check notes on IV, it's either spam III or attack beastman stronghold for it.

Edit2: Found the right page - it's spam III until IV for smokescreen

Following up on this post! I got a buddy who collects ffxi merch. They were already buying books they couldn't read, so I reached out and...



I can't speak any Japanese, and I'm a hater so I hardly trust AI translation, but it looks like the four titles we can't find were originally planned to be from the beast kings and Mimas/Porphyrion.

Note the two entries for Za'Dha and Bakgodek and two for Tzee Xicu (second one's in the top right). The first one of the two is the title that nobody has for Za'Dha/Bakgodek, and second one of the two is that title for Tzee.

Since they're obviously not from that, I can only assume that battlefields were planned, but not implemented, this far back. (Like the ones in Shadowreign areas?)

Question for a Japanese reader: what's the difference between the two Za'Dhas? It's the only one with a parenthetical disambiguation listed.

Vanguard & Crimson: I~III require your allied country own zone in base zones only and unlock with repeats. IV requires your allied controls a Northland zone but does not require 1~3. These also have weird relationship with Bridge to Far and each other as it will unlock with 1~3.

Smokescreen I~IV requires zone in you group (i.e. Sandy cant do Pash but can get jugner) under beastman control and repeat to rank up to IV.
V requires northlands under beastman control

One is for Qulun Dome (Usurper), one is for Waughroon Shrine (Killer).

Wait... is there even a BCNM featuring beastmen kings?... I cant recall one at all and a quick search didnt really pull anything up.

Was this perhaps the content that was cut but the title associated remained?

Equally interesting that Za'Dha and Bakgodek are listed twice, but Tzee Xicu is listed once

Not until WotG, five+ years after this guide

Tzee Xicu is listed again in the top-right of the page (between Maat and Stray Mary, so likely it's alphabetically "Manifest?")

Overlord Bakgodek - Overlord Executioner
Overlord Bakgodek - Overlord Overthrower
...
Goliath - Goliath Killer
Goliath - Goriate Killer (Couldn't decide on how to write the name in Katakana maybe?)
...
Tzee Xicu the Manifest - Deity Debunker
...
Tzee Xicu the Manifest - Manifest Mauler (Unusued)

Thank you for the information and screenshot.

There was no battlefield for Za'Dha Adamantking in Waughroon for the supposed Adamantking Killer title so I am not sure where they got that from. Of course, it can be found in Qulun Dome

Mimas OR Porphyrion giving Giant Killer title seems to be removed or never implemented.

Tzee Xicu The Manifest giving Manifest Mauler I am not sure about. It usually gives Deity Debunker.

The theory that multiple Overlord Bakgodek might give Overlord Executioner could be true or false but I don't know if anyone tested it still. Sort of like all of the VNM Yilbegan etc. titles.

Intriguing artifact!

The zone mismatch for Za'Dha convinces me that they're unimplemented, though. There is no Za'Dha in the Waughroon DAT at the moment.

600+ pages.. this should be preserved in digital form!

It's about $500-$2000 to have the book scanned digitally (depending on whether or not we want to keep the book intact, or destroyed during/after scanning).

I'm down. Anyone else?
