Masteries

Masteries are levels characters can gain in Eternal Return by performing various actions such as fighting or crafting items.

Weapon Masteries

By dealing (pre-mitigation) damage and crafting weapons, characters gain experience for their weapon mastery. Weapon Masteries increase Attack Speed, Normal Attack Damage, and Skill Damage.

Weapon Skills are additional skills when a weapon is equipped. Weapon Skills are unlocked at the weapon mastery level 7 and can be improved at the weapon mastery level 14. For more information see the Weapon page.
