Masteries

Masteries were added on January 29th, 2023, as a way to give players opportunities to earn more rewards for investing time into the game.

• Mastery levels can go up indefinitely; however currently there is a cap on maximum bonus possible from each mastery:
  • Item Find Chance: 5%
    • Multiplies the chance of finding nothing (base 25%) by (1 - Item Find Chance). At max mastery, the chance of finding nothing is: 25% * (1 - 5%) = 23.75%
  • Search Speed: 5%
  • Creation Decrease: 20%
    • Reduces the interval between item creations for production professions.
  • Use Hunger Decrease: 20%
    • Multiplies the hunger cost for service professions' abilities by (1 - Use Hunnger Decrease). For example, at max mastery, the hunger cost for an Engineer service is: 10% * (1 - 20%) = 8%
  • Experience Gain: 5%
  • Weapon-specific Damage Boost: 10%
