Have been MR7 from the beginning, did like 50 more RoEs, visited few missed zones, did 22 campaign ops, finishied 5 quests, got 100JP for BRD and got all blu spells to finish magic but rank is still 7. I'll try to get more titles.
Just hit rank 7. getting Rank 10 in sandy was what pushed me over (prior only Bastok rank 10)
Checklist: 6197/12167 since image never loads.
ROE 403
Titles 583
missions 554
quest 472
magic 379
warps 324
missions completed: rotz, cop, assault, toau, wotg, mkd, asa, soa, rov, tvr, coalitions
Well, at least this is good news for myself lol
All of mine are higher than that by a good bit, but my checklist is only 156 less, so I guess I should be getting 7 soon... hopefully. If that's not it then I have no idea.
Ngl, seeing my stats makes me question if I even actually played the game the last 21 years lol
==============================================================
Edit : It was not it. I also forgot to talk to a few npcs to register some of the checklist. I figured it wouldn't be it but I wanted to set a goal for the day. Welp, onto the next one then.
Since no1 really knows how many "points" gives which action u do, u cant compare xichecklist points on a solid base tho. But in fact its a great tool to have many tasks sorted and easy to check on missing stuff. Great, really!

Part of me wonders if there's some hidden "limit break" or something where a certain specific one gives enough to go beyond the "rank cap".
I've been 6 since it came out and I've done so much that feel like it should have gotten me it years ago but never did (aeonic, maat's cap, a ton of random titles, TVR etc). It's weird to see people posting "I just beat this expansion and got rank 8" and that's something I finished back when it was current lol
Everyone thinks theyve done so much stuff and then they post their xxxxx/12000 and its not even half.
Simply amazing the disconnect between "ive done so much stuff I should be rank 11!" and reality.
Every single time some random rank 6 says ive done some extreme amount of stuff and I'm still rank 6, you clearly haven't. It's not that complicated.
There's no specific locks or barriers or patterns you just haven't done as much as you think you have, even though there's a literal list you can check it against.

The checklist thing is throwing people off! Why back in my day you would get 1000 titles, still be rank 7 for some reason, and like it!

The primary issue is there's THIRTEEN THOUSAND things to do and only 9 ranks.
It takes a long god damn time to go from 5 to 6, and longer from 6 to 7 and longer still from 7 to 8 and even longer from 8 to 9 and the pool of stuff available gets smaller and harder.
You get people that just start to get upset and start brewing up conspiracy theory *** instead of just accepting there's just a whole ton of ***they haven't done yet.
Imho among those who care about mastery rank the majority will only push it to level 7 or 8 for now since that's where the earring starts becoming BiS.
Beyond that for most people the juice will not be worth the squeeze due to quests like lu shang moat carps, airship passangers...
If someone doesn't plan to do everything it's understandable if they start looking for the path of least resistance even if there is none.
They're not looking for the path of least resistance. They're just trying to rationalize a reason to quit doing it.
I'm stuck at rank 7 and there's some mystery thing stopping me from ranking up.
No Karen. There isn't. You just don't want to do monstrosity.
I get your point and you didnt mean Monstrosity specifically, but for everyone reading this I want to state that Monstrosity was intentionally the thing I held off doing till the very end.
I damn near ran out of things to do chasing rank 9, then did monstrosity and it pushed me over when I got ~1/5 complete with it. So take that as you will.
Ultimately if you're chasing rank 7 or 8, i'd recommend doing all missions and big milestones 1st, then dipping your toes into everything. Getting a monstrosity 60 or 90, etc.

For me, the thing I put off forever was Chocobo Digging... And look where that got me! (That's what pushed me over to 9)
I did some Monstrosity during the campaign.
Got 1 species to lv99 and 2 to lv90. A few to lv 60, and maybe 2/3 of the species to lv 30.
Then I went out and collected 100+ titles by doing side quests and hunting NMs, and about 100+ RoEs completed.
Before all this I got myself the Medal of Altana.
And I'm still stuck at Mastery Rank 6.
I use Ashita v4 so I did not bother setting up windower and XIChecklist, and I just use the titlecheck addon.
My total title count is 737.
862 RoE completed.
I have done All missions, crafting 110/70 capped, synergy 80, before I hit Rank 6.
The pool of things to do is more and more limited as I have exhausted most of the easy titles now...
I did enough RoE to go from 581 to 710 and upgrade 27 of my atmacites from 1 to 15 (now all of them are capped) and didn't get any upgrade from rank 7 so kinda fail :/
Mule did about 50 RoEs with me and go from 4 to 5 though. Mostly Dynamis ones.
What are the requirements to unlock the Splitting Heirs/Cracking Shells/Plucking Wings? Do you need to control all six zones, then come back the next week to take the stronghold? Or is it all done within the same week?

Have you got the title Judge, Jury, and Executioner from doing all of the Dyna-Divergence Wave 3 bosses? (No one has explicitly confirmed that this title is a rank-up condition, but if I could see SE using this title to gate folks from getting to some of the higher mastery ranks).

Control all the zones for a week and come back next week, yeah. It's rude!

I am MR8 without this title (granted I do have the zones I am missing cleared from the Mask fill)

So you have 1 or more Wave 3 bosses killed? (and the remainder with mask being filled? Thanks for sharing. This is a good data point from a content perspective).

I went through similar, for me i ended up ranking to 7 by gathering trusts, I did a bunch of that stuff you mentioned and completed ALL windurst quests, level'd the fellow quite high with associtated jueno quests(annoying).
Ive done quite a bit since but im at
674 Titles
808 RoE
All Story done
XIChecklist 7949/17472
While im bummed about only being 7, if you look at it from the Xichecklist perspective i havent even accomplished half the game, LOL, so Im not to upset, and MR7 hoxne really starts inserting itself into almost all WS sets

Has anyone tried out the Black Race Silks (increases Hot & Cold Game jackpot chance) at all?
I've only ever tried the White (+1 dig for H&C) but I got the first jackpot of my life the other day and it did turn a failure into a success... so maybe it's worth it? Given how awful the Sky Blue Race Silks are compared to the Blue Race Silks, I'm wondering if it secretly has an absurdly high proc rate.

I use white until i'm ontop of it, then switch to black to hope for a faster Jackpot... But who knows if it works... Maybe All those fails after 5 digs ontop of it wouldnt have been fails if i stayed on white robes.

I have 3 Wave 2 boss clear titles (missing Windurst), and no Wave 3 boss clear.
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
