In the highly anticipated MMORPG Throne and Liberty, a new and game-changing update has just arrived on the Korean servers: the Mastery System. While it may initially seem complex, this system offers exciting new ways to enhance your weapons and customize your playstyle, allowing players to dive deeper into the mechanics of Throne and Liberty. In this article, we will break down how the Mastery System works, explain its mechanics, and help you prepare for its eventual arrival on global servers.

What is the Mastery System?

The Mastery System allows players to level up different weapons, unlock powerful passives, and further specialize their builds. Each weapon in the game now has its own unique mastery progression, and as you level up your weapons, you'll gain points to invest in various passive skills. These skills will significantly impact your playstyle, enhancing your damage, survivability, and utility, depending on the weapons you choose to level.

How to Access the Mastery System

To get started with the Mastery System, press the K key to open your skill page. Here, you'll notice some changes:

· The weapon levels have increased significantly—levels for weapons like the Greatsword or Daggers are now much higher than before (e.g., Greatsword at level 61, Daggers at level 62).

· You will now be able to see Mastery Points for each weapon and have the option to level them up.

The points are linked to your overall character progression, so expect to need to level up multiple weapons to gain full benefits from the Mastery System.

Understanding Weapon Mastery Trees

Each weapon in Throne and Liberty has its own unique Mastery tree, visible on the right side of the skill page. This tree is divided into several rings and sections, each of which provides different benefits and allows you to specialize in a particular path.

Weapon Mastery Points and Specialization

· Weapon Mastery Points: These points are earned by using weapons, completing quests, or defeating enemies. You can allocate these points into a variety of different categories, depending on the weapon you are focusing on.

· Specialization Paths: On the tree, you’ll see four primary sections, each denoted by different colors. These include:

1. Red: Focused on Attack

2. Blue: Focused on Defense

3. Yellow: Focused on Support

4. Green: Focused on Tactics

This allows you to focus your build either on raw damage, survivability, team utility, or strategic gameplay.

Nodes and Achievements

· Passive Nodes: These are smaller improvements you can unlock and spend points on. Each ring around the tree represents a set of passive bonuses you can activate.

· Achievement Nodes: These are powerful nodes located at the corners of the tree. These provide large boosts to your character’s power, but they require a specific number of points to be allocated into the passive nodes leading up to them. To activate these nodes, you’ll need to connect them by filling out specific passive nodes leading into them.

· The system requires a bit of planning to maximize the effectiveness of your build, and some nodes can offer incredible buffs when connected in the right way.

Managing Mastery Progression

While specializing in one or two weapons might seem tempting, it’s important to understand the benefits of leveling multiple weapons. The system rewards you for leveling up different weapon types, as it combines all the Mastery Points you earn into a single pool. This means that you’ll need to invest in a variety of weapons if you want to unlock high-tier passives and unlock more powerful abilities.

If you find that you’ve invested in a weapon you no longer want to use, the system provides a solution. You can purchase Weapon Mastery Conversion Books to respec your points and redistribute them to other weapons. This flexibility allows you to experiment with different playstyles without worrying about being stuck with the wrong weapon choices.

Mastery Skills and Passives

The Mastery System introduces a host of passive abilities that significantly alter your gameplay. These skills can offer various benefits, including increased attack speed, higher health regeneration, resistance to debuffs, and more.

Here are just a few examples of the Mastery skills you can unlock:

· Destructive Spear: A powerful skill that deals damage based on your weapon mastery.

· Spirit of Defiance: Activates a defensive skill that deals damage when you block incoming attacks.

· Survivor Skills: Reduce cooldowns when you kill an enemy, letting you chain abilities more effectively.

· Dragon Ascent: Boosts your attack damage when your mana is above 60%, adding a layer of resource management to your playstyle.

These skills are just a small fraction of the available Mastery skills, and experimenting with different builds will be crucial to finding the one that suits your playstyle best.

Tips for Efficiently Using the Mastery System

1. Level Multiple Weapons: To maximize the potential of the Mastery System, try to level up multiple weapons. This will increase the total points available to you and unlock more passives.

2. Focus on Achievement Nodes: Focus on unlocking the achievement nodes, as these provide the most significant power boosts. Make sure to connect the passive nodes leading up to them to maximize the impact.

3. Experiment with Builds: Since the Mastery System allows for a lot of flexibility, take the time to experiment with different weapon combinations and specializations. For example, if you're unsure whether you want to play a tanky build or a damage-focused one, you can respec and try different approaches.

4. Use Conversion Books Wisely: If you find that you've committed a lot of points to a weapon you no longer wish to use, don't panic. Purchase Weapon Mastery Conversion Books to reallocate those points and try out new builds.

Conclusion

The new Mastery System in Throne and Liberty offers players an exciting opportunity to deeply customize their characters and enhance their combat abilities. While the system may initially seem overwhelming, understanding the basics of weapon leveling, node activation, and specialization will go a long way in helping you get the most out of this feature.
