Training Mastery Levels and Buffs

Trainers have a bigger incentive to level their Training Life Skill. With high Training Mastery and Life Mastery levels, you can potentially create a much stronger horse.

I wouldn’t mind these max Training Mastery buffs:

• 40% Mount Exp Gain
• 10% Higher Tier Horse Chance
• 35% Taming Success Chance

Training Mastery Gear

There are many items you can obtain that will buff your Training Mastery or Life Mastery level. Manos gear is the best, but also extremely expensive to enhance.

• Loggia Gear  (sold by Camellia Loggia <Seed Vendor> for 1 million Silver at Loggia Farm)
• Geranoa Gear (sold by the <Material Vendor> Geranoa in Calpheon City for 10 million Silver)
• Manos Gear (Processing > Manufacture of rare ingredients.)

Riding Crops:

•  Loggia’s Riding Crop Training Mastery +3 (up to 280 for PEN), Max Mount Speed +5% + Max Auto-run Speed +15%
• Izaro’s Riding Crop Training Mastery +4 (up to 330 for PEN), Max Mount Speed +10% + Max Auto-run Speed +30%
• Manos Riding Crop Training Mastery +5 (up to 400 for PEN), Max Mount Speed +20% + Max Auto-run Speed +50%

Life Mastery Gear Enhancement

Life Mastery clothes and accessories can be improved by enhancement, using Black Gems crafted from Black Gem Fragments.

• Life Mastery gear can be upgraded to PEN (V)
• Enhancement levels increase the Life Mastery given
• Life Mastery gear enhancement with Black Gems does not use the traditional Failstack system. Enhancement Chance is always a set amount no matter how much you fail.
• Enhancement with Black Gems “have a higher success rate than the previous enhancement methods.” (70% PRI, 40% DUO, 30% TRI for greed grade.) Although it seems from player reports that RNG is a-foot!

Should I Invest in Life Mastery Gear?

Life Mastery gear is very expensive:

• 6x TRI Manos Accessories (2.6 Billion each) = 15.6 billion silver.
• TET Manos Trainer’s Clothes = 3.5 billion
• TET Manos Riding Crop = 1.7 billion
• TOTAL COST: 20.8 billion silver

If you have a bunch of silver you have been waiting to use and love training, then manos gear will make you a happy trainer.

Otherwise, stick with the +3 Silver Embroidered Trainer’s Clothes, which will still gives you +20% Mount EXP.

One benefit of the Manos accessories is they will also aid most other Life Skills.

Training Mastery Patch Notes
