Final Fantasy XIV's Cosmic Exploration feature has just about run its course. All Japanese worlds will have completed the Auxesia Development Initiative in the next week if not sooner. In Europe, 14 of the 16 worlds have completed the final infrastructure tasks. In North America only the newest virtual data center, Dynamis, is still working on progressing the content. And the five worlds in Oceania are still grinding.
Patch 7.55 or 7.56 might have a surprise like occurred with Island Sanctuaries in Endwalker. I have to admit the final missions on Auxesia didn't really feel final for the conclusion of the event. Cosmic exploration began with patch 7.21 in April 2025. I think some big shots from Old Sharlayan need to come out and see what the project has grown into.
But I still have titles and mounts to earn. I am now doing the tool mastery missions. I know reaching 500,000 tool mastery points will grant a title. But I don't know if reaching one million points unlocks anything. My highest total is on carpenter but I had only reached 900,000 points or so when I switched to blacksmith. Before pushing on I'm trying to get all crafting and gathering classes to 250,000 points.
For the tool mastery points I wound up making a multi-part macro to do the lowest payout Master mission. In the case of blacksmiths that mission is Master: Ruin Restoration Supplies. Hint: look for the mission that pays out 240 exploration tokens.
I found I can craft 10 items in 15 minutes, which is the length of time a Cunning Craftsman's Tisane lasts. So what I do is 2 tool mastery missions, crafting 5 items for each mission. I found if I pay attention to the crafting I can earn 17,000 class points per hour. I figure at that rate I might have the Excavating Vacuum Suit earned by Halloween.
For anyone interested, here are my non-specialist stats and the macros I came up with using Raphael. The macros don't guarantee 100% quality, but does a good enough job I only lose a maximum of 100 class points per mission. And yes, I know I can shrink this down to 2 macros, but by using 3 I'm able to click the macros faster in order to get that 10 crafts per 15 minutes.
I have the feeling I could make the process more efficient so let me know where I screwed up.
