Mercenary Assessments

Ranking Up

All promotions can be obtained through Curio Vendor Moogle after obtaining Rhapsody in Azure. Assaults for "rank-up points" must still be completed.

To earn the next Mercenary Rank you have to accumulate 25 "Rank-Up Points" in Assault Missions, as follows:

You earn 5 points for successfully completing a particular mission for the first time (including Nyzul Isle Investigation).

You earn 1 point for successfully completing a previously-completed mission (including Nyzul Isle Investigation).

You earn 0 points for a failed mission.

The ranks of the mercenary and mission do not matter; in particular, higher-ranked Mercenaries do not need to do higher-ranked missions to earn points.

You can only accumulate 25 points. After that, until the rank-up quest is complete, any further points that would be earned are lost.

Speak with Abquhbah at I-10 Aht Urhgan Whitegate when you are unsure of how many points you have. Choose the topic "Mercenary Assessments." As you progress, you will receive the following dialogues:

0-7 points: "At your current pace, you'll be doomed to a meeting with President Naja's spiky “friend.” If you want to dig yourself out of that pit, you've got to hit the Commissions Agency and run up some successful Assault missions.... (That's the only option left to you...)"

8-11 points: "Hmmm. You seem to be out of the woods as far as being beaten to a pulp goes, but you're still somewhere south of the middle."

12-18 points: "Hello... Seems someone has been a good little mercenary. You have some glowing reports from the Commissions Agency here. You've finally pulled yourself up to the borderline between worthless pile of beaten pulp and respectable employee."

19-24 points: "Let's see now. A few more successful missions and the president herself might have a word with you. Keep this up and the next mercenary rank is not far off!"

25+: "Hello, hello. You'll be hearing from President Naja any day now! (Poor thing, you'll wish you'd stayed a worthless pile of beaten pulp...)"

After you have earned enough points, speak with Naja Salaheem for a Promotion Quest. Fulfill Naja's task and you will be granted a higher rank and your Rank-Up Points will be reset to 0.
