I have only been able to complete the defense mission since I have only had the expansion for one day. Has anyone here ranked up yet? Who do you talk to in each city to rank up? Anyone have any idea of what the requirements are to rank up? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 12-17-2007, 09:16 AM | #2 (permalink) | | 75RED Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Chicago Suburbs Posts: 1,117 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 122 Thanked 271x in 159 Posts Gil: 4,702 Bank: 22,026 Total Gil: 26,728 Donate | Re: WOTG Rank Up I know this is necro-ish, but I didn't want to start a new thread over this and I didn't see others when I searched...
I've gotten 2 rankups so far up to Ribbon ƒƒƒ or w/e, I'm trying to get to Emblems or w/e so that I can get a friend who doesn't have the expansion yet an Iron Ram Lance. I was wondering what the highest you guys were so far, and how long it took to get to the 3rd rank if you have it.
I know you can only request a rankup every 5 days, but I was wondering how many missions it takes in between ranks and whatnot. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 12-17-2007, 09:46 AM | #3 (permalink) | | LOLDRG Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 812 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 81 Thanked 62x in 45 Posts Gil: 4,945 Bank: 10,385 Total Gil: 15,330 Donate | Re: WOTG Rank Up I think the highest atm is the first emblem.

I haven't seen any information yet on exactly what you need to rank up, and I think it will be hard to do exact testing on it ... I figure that whatever I manage is hopefully enough, and do a fair bit of simple fighting to defend zones. It's probably worth doing the more difficult campaign ops if they're available, too. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 12-17-2007, 10:01 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,649 Style: Light - Version 4 Thanks: 69 Thanked 178x in 133 Posts Gil: 13,244 Bank: 26,202 Total Gil: 39,447 Donate | Re: WOTG Rank Up Originally Posted by Callisto | I know this is necro-ish, but I didn't want to start a new thread over this and I didn't see others when I searched...

If you do nothing but Campaigns you shouldn't have any problems ranking up. Conversely if you do nothing but Campaign Ops, you should always rank up as well. IMO, I think it's more based on the amount of AN you've received to date (not your current AN), then anything else. And I'm sure as time goes on, stricter rank up requierments will be added.

Do the Resource Procurement. They're better if you've only have the first ribbon. Second ribbon, do Defense if you like doing Campaign Battles. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 12-23-2007, 05:42 AM | #10 (permalink) | | FFXIWiki'er FFXIWiki Team Join Date: May 2006 Location: Windurst Posts: 3,857 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 134 Thanked 997x in 542 Posts Gil: 12,661 Bank: 35,811 Total Gil: 48,472 Donate | Re: WOTG Rank Up I should note something about some of the tier two Offensive/Defensive operations - Basically, SE fails to specify that the second tier missions are to be done TWICE in the mission log, so if you go do one and report, you've "failed."

Seeing how many fixes have come in for things like Smokescreen, I'm mystified why SE still hasn't fixed everything that was broken about them. | That is something that I did not know. I've always done the first option of the Campaign Ops so I didn't know it had to be done twice.
Would you know if you fail an op, you're less likely inclined to get the ribbon/star/emblem because they have a point system that they use for this? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
