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.
Black Gem Fragment
Black Gem Fragments are used to create Black Gems and then Concentrated Magical Black Gems.
Obtain By Gathering:
- Mining
- Barehanded Gathering (excludes Golem gathering)
- Hoe Gathering
- Fluid/Blood Collecting
- Tanning (Skinning)
- Butchering (Hunting with a Matchlock/Sniper Rifle and then butchering will provide Black Gem Fragments as well.)
- Lumbering
NOTE:Â The rates of fragments from chopping/sapping trees and mining is lower than butchering/bleeding animals or gathering herbs.
SOURCES & ADDITIONAL INFO
- bdocodex.com Loggia’s info, data searches, and Cooking Mastery page.
- Archive of Cooking Mastery patch notes
Can you list the gears/accessories setup for cooking and imperial delivery for best cooking time and profit for turning in.
Starter = Beginer lvl
Medium = Professional lvl
Max = Guru lvl
That’s a good idea!
Is there a chart or table that shows how much mastery leveling up gives you?
