Mastery

Mastery

Mastery is a sub-section of the destiny board, that improves your combat abilities with spells and armor.

Mastery should not be confused with Specializations. Mastery of a specific tree (e.g Pyromancer) allows the player to use higher Tier weapons and armor of that tree. Weapon mastery also rewards the player with extra active and passive Abilities. Specialization improves a specific gear's or item's Item Power greatly. See Specializations for more information.

Unlocking Tiers

The next table shows the level of mastery you need to unlock each of the tiers of all the weapons and armors from tier 4 to tier 8.

5	10	267.707
6	30	1.186.884

Version 18.000.1	17 March 2021	Call to Arms Update	Instanced areas (i.e. Hideouts) and tunnel zones are now included in the queue functionality, meaning players can now skip overcrowded zones outside their Hideouts and can skip into tunnel zones Cluster Skipping is now possible when relogging into an overcrowded cluster The Smart Cluster Queue now also activates in all Royal Continent zones: This change makes large-scale Faction Warfare battles possible on the Royal Continent Each Faction counts as its own contingent Cluster Access Priority settings do NOT impact Faction-flagged players The queue assigns at least 50 spots per Faction, even if they are vastly outnumbered 50 spots are also reserved for non-Faction-flagged players, to prevent Faction players from completely blocking zones for other players Improved the UI for cluster skipping: Now all available zones are immediately selectable Opening the world map will no longer cancel cluster selection The cluster selection screen now provides more info about the cluster: Tier and danger level (i.e. red or yellow) of the target cluster Distance to the selected cluster (i.e. how many zones will be jumped)
Version 1.17.410.184451	2 February 2021	Rise of Avalon Patch 13 (Balance Patch)	Consumable items that commonly collect in large stacks can now be used in a single click via the new Use All Button in the item UI. Stacks of Silver Bags will be consumed instantly and grant you the full amount of Silver Tomes of Insight and chests use a channeled spell, meaning the items are still consumed individually and the channel can be canceled at any point.

Player sorting is now done on a per-party level, meaning the system will attempt to keep existing parties together: Party leaders can now assign a Party Cluster Access Priority for their party as well as for individual members in the Cluster Access Priority UI (accessed via the party leader's player context menu) Priority Access determines the order in which parties will enter an overcrowded cluster This gives alliances more control over which forces are moved into the cluster and keeps party structures intact The Preferred Cluster Access Guild Right has been removed The queue now moves players from a single contingent either in or out during a given cycle, so players of the same contingent no longer replace each other
Version 1.17.406.177096	21 October 2020	Rise of Avalon Patch 7 / Brimstone & Mist Midseason Update and Hotfix 7.1	New Disarray parameters ensure the ZvZ meta plays out in a similar way across a wide range of fight sizes, while still offering smaller groups protection from large armies: Disarray is no longer a flat debuff Instead, it reduces damage output and CC Duration when attacking targets with a lower Disarray level Against targets with the same or higher Disarray level, Disarray has no impact on your stats Damage reduction depends on the difference of Disarray levels between attacker and target - the higher the difference, the greater the effect Increased Disarray player cap; debuff now caps at Level 50 for 450 players
