Crafting Masteries
Some crafting masteries offer bonuses for harvesting or crafting specific types of items. Others unlock the knowledge of how specific material is formed and molding into the desired form (i.e. Blacksmith). These types of masteries are required in order to craft more advanced upgraded equipment and gear. However, learning these masteries does not give you any crafting recipes as they must be gained and learned separately. See the crafting chapter for more information.
These masteries can be purchased with either talents or knowledge points.
