Mastery System

Gear Tree

Gear Mastery1 / 27

One of the three profession tabs. It does two jobs: it opens the gear UPGRADE bands one level at a time, and it opens the Slot Proficiency bands. Taking all of it costs 110 Mastery Points.

The upgrade nodes run in one chain from Bronze Upgrade Lv. 2 to Diamond Upgrade Lv. 20: you cannot skip a level, and without the node for a level you cannot attempt it at all. The Proficiency nodes are a separate chain of 3.

Points spent in a profession tree are PERMANENT: there is no RESET MP for them, so spend here only on something you actually want.

The Bronze Band2 / 27

The Bronze band of the gear ladder, one node per level. Each node opens its level for every slot, and the success chance falls as the level rises.
