In this Update
This update introduces the adventuring Mastery system and Class Mastery trees for Warrior, Paladin, and Dire Lord for initial testing. It also includes tuning adjustments for classes, combat, and items up to level 20.
Mastery System
Warriors, Paladins, and Dire Lords may now access the Mastery system beginning at Level 5. Players using the classes may access the system by using the Mastery button in the Codex. For additional information on how to navigate the Mastery UI, please view the developer diary located here.
Please note that this is an early iteration of the Mastery UI as well as the class mastery options for each of the classes. Refinements are expected in future updates, as well as mastery options for the other adventuring classes.
