Only thing I could be missing are the last 2 Mog Garden quests but I think someone reported being able to get the 10k without the Mog Garden quests done, if I'm not wrong?

You're wrong, they're required.

Had all quests completed except for Trinket for the Tyrant. Completed it today and Library NPC said "your efforts to help the city's populace deserve praise" and gave me my 10k kinetic units. Pretty much confirms that Mog Garden quests are part of the city-related quests.

I'm 100% sure naakual reduction is not rank, but imprimaturs spent. I got a reduction while trying to rank up in scouts last week but still hadn't. Simply spending tags gave me the reduction.

Same here.

[Byrthnoth]

Same. It's definitely just the number of Imps you use in a productive way (so they count towards the next rank). This would also be sort of "average rank" across all guilds, like the total number of rank points you've gained at all guilds added together divided by the number of guilds.

I burned a lot for easy low level xp in guilds I was capped at and thus I hit 25/50k only about two weeks ago despite only wasting ~5 Imps since expansion release.

[Sechs]

Yes, we've all agreed it's number of imprimaturs, but then again Coalition ranks, somehow, has to play a part. Not necessarily like I said in the previous page, but in *some way* it has to matter.
Because while what I reported before (getting reduction mid-rank) happened to me and several other people, the opposite happened as well.
For my last two reductions I dad to spent more than the typical 50 imprimaturs until I finally got a rank up and then I magically found myself with the next reduction.
So either the latest reductions require more than the ~50, or there is another requirement somehow related to "average coalition ranks" or, like Zadimortis hypothized, to "number of coalition rankups".

I'm leaning towards the second, Zadimortis' idea makes a lot of sense to me, it just cannot be the only condition required because # of imp spent *does* matter.


@Jerhyn
I was so wrong :'(
Thanks then, confident I'll get my 10k units once I complete those 2 quests.

[dasva]

Also regular quests definitely play a part as well. My first reduction came when I finally started spamming the remaining quests I had before last update.

[Prothescar]

The Kinetic Units and Bayld from the library definitely don't seem to be related to only quest completion... I have every single Adoulin quest finished aside from the GEO limit break and she won't give me either one. I've already redeemed both Naakual rewards and got my Ivory talisman. Hm...

nvm, im missing one of the moogle quests. stupid things

[JSHidaka]

Well I'm Just missing "One Good Turn..." coz need to wait JP midnight, so tomorrow will see If I get the KU

[Rocl]

Preserve: Yorcia & Marjami open up at Advisor rank in Peacekeeper's. Not entirely sure I want to waste a tag to figure out exp/bayld rewards

[NynJa]

I wouldnt bother till they add new ranks, unless you've somehow capped out entirely.

[Rocl]

That reminds me of something I meant to ask forever ago, could you "store" imprimaturs by undertaking Coalition assignments and never completing them? That is, could you store 15 on the NPC and have a log full of current assignments w/ 3 imprimaturs each? Since you have the ability to cancel the assignment and are refunded your imprimaturs... though I guess the next update is coming soon enough it's unlikely anyone is in the spot where it'd be beneficial.

[NynJa]

Yes that is possible, thats how some people got up to partner rank the day of the patch.

[cchristo]

Any thoughts that the bronze awards might be related to geography? Such as having visited every BIV? Visiting every ergon lotus?

[Fireon]

Unlikely, since the NPC dialogue references helping coalitions and "furthering the alliance" or something like that. My guess is it's related to coalition tasks and Adoulin missions, respectively.

[Sechs]

Similar question. Can you "store" steps for rankups?
Like doing 19/20 imprimaturs for Partner > next rank
Then on the day of the patch doing 1 imprimatur and getting the new rank?
I've been wondering the same about the city Fame.

My interpretation is that furthering the alliance could easily be related to geography. These guys are all pioneers. By pushing further into foreign territory and establishing quicker transportation is most certainly furthering the alliance.

didnt work for me on pioneers, so I think no

Nope. I had spammed Couriers plenty before the update arrived and still took the regular amount of tags to rank up.

[dasva]

Yeah same. Pre update I had put enough into 2 to max rank and had put all the rest into one of those and took normal amount

[dasva]

So had something interesting just happen. Was doing one of the research assignments for mummers and it did the move my mules got credit but my main which was the only character fighting it didn't. Not sure if it was cause I was wsing at the same time or cause I blocked it idk

[dasva]

Where the heck is the Lost article in Sih gates? Bg wiki says f-11 but that's actually the zone line. Other wiki says J-11 but theres nothing there. I just ran all over the zone and nothing
