How is Mastery Rank calculated.

[Alhanelem]

As much as not finding answers is still progress, there really isn't any positive progressing.

Doing things does increase the rank, this is a given. In what way though. Any actual information, other than the obvious? Are they specific goals to be achieved or an empty meter that you can fill with anything toward that end. Is rank 2 achieved a specified way, or could you potentially just go around doing any random things and obtain it. Are there things that don't count? Absolutely no information of any value. Throw your players a bone. You want us to work toward mastering the maximum rank right, so, how about the tiniest clue of some relevance.

Not sure in what way there were no answers here. First, while we had already figured most if not all content contributes, there are some notable things that are specifically excluded from their list:


- Job levels
- Monipulator levels
- Job Mastery status
- # of merit / job points
- item collection (so no need to do every REMA weapon etc)
- Gil/currency


While combat and magic skills tie somewhat into job levels, you don't have to play every job to (mostly) cap every skill. Since they specifically note that titles obtained from completing content are used, This probably (but not certainly) excludes seasonal events, not all of whose titles and quests are still obtainable, and almost certainly excludes Ballista, whose titles are temporary (besides, I highly doubt they'd make anyone do PvP to achieve a higher mastery rank)

Xbox achievements are also probably excluded since not everyone can get those (obvious but covering bases)
