Gaining Mettle & Raising Resistance Rank
FFXIV Bozja Guide: Tips & Tricks
Bozja has its own leveling system, like Eureka’s Elemental Level, but unlike Eureka, it’s not separate from your regular level. As noted above, you bring your level and experience with you, and your gear will be synced up to 80.
In Bozja’s Southern Front, you gain Mettle to raise your Resistance Rank. Resistance Rank does a few things for you. It will make it easier to handle harder enemies signified by a number in their name (I, II, III, etc.).
Resistance Rank also will open new parts of the map up for you. The idea is to march your way towards the Castrum out in the distance, the Imperial stronghold in this area. If you raise your Resistance Rank high enough, you’ll eventually unlock access to unique Raid-like Critical Engagement that will drop currency (Bozjan Coins) used to obtain Bozja armor set.
Advancing further will also open new parts of the story and will ensure you’re ready for the next phase of content in Bozja when it comes out.
Let’s talk about how to get Mettle and raise that Resistance Rank.
