BDO Life Mastery Buffs & Item List

When Life Mastery gear alone isn’t enough, you can add a bit more life mastery by using consumables like food and scrolls that give temporary mastery buffs. Although Life Mastery consumables are harder to come by than Life EXP consumables, there may come a time when you want a bit more mastery to hit the next Life Mastery bracket for higher gains.

Event consumables like [Event] Giovan Grolin’s Support Scroll are intentionally more rare, so every astute Life-skiller should take advantage of acquiring these Event consumables whenever possible!

Before using consumables that grant temporary Life Mastery buffs, please plan ahead by gathering everything else you will need first. Use these rare Life Mastery consumables right before you need them to take full advantage of their temporary nature.

Life Mastery Scrolls

• Secret Book of Florin
• [Event] Giovan Grolin’s Support Scroll

Thes two scrolls each add 100 Life Mastery and +20% Life EXP for 60 minutes. They can also be combined (stacked) with each other and other Life Mastery consumables like Seafood Cron Meal.

[Event] Giovan Grolin’s Support Scroll

After graduating a Season character, you’ll be rewarded with a chest called “Gift Box Full of Memories”. Giovan Grolin’s Support Scroll x5 is one of the gifts inside this chest. These are super rare so use wisely! Season Graduation guide.

[Event] Stella’s Spirit Stone

Stella’s Spirit Stone is occasionally given away as a Login or Event reward, but is still somewhat rare.

Stella’s Spirit Stone is a Life alchemy/spirit stone that adds 100 Life Mastery along with other helpful Life skills buffs. It has 50 Durability and consumes 1 Durability every 10 minutes that the stone is activated.

Stella’s Spirit Stone can be used with other Life Mastery consumables like Secret Book of Florin.

Please Note:
Stella’s Spirit Stone can’t be refueled like other alchemy stones or ground into Mystical Spirit Powder like other spirit stones. Once the durability has reached zero, it has no other purpose and can be destroyed.

Savory Steak

If you have Professional 1+ Cooking skill, you can cook up some Savory Steak which adds +10 Life Mastery for 60 minutes.

Although Savory Steak is a lot simpler to make than Seafood Cron Meal, it has 15 less Life Mastery and no other helpful buffs.

Consuming Seafood Cron Meal or another high-quality food will override any other food buffs. 

Please Note: No other meat can be substituted for Lion Meat in the Savory Steak recipe.

Seafood Cron Meal

Along with many other helpful buffs, Seafood Cron Meal adds +25 Life Mastery and lasts 120 minutes. They are often given as Event and Login rewards, but can be bought off the Marketplace or crafted yourself. See recipes below.

Combining the ingredients together uses Simple Cooking which requires no skill, but crafting Balenos Meal requires Artisan 1+ Cooking. If you don’t want to craft the ingredients or don’t have Artisan 1 Cooking, you can buy the ingredients off the Marketplace and combine them into Seafood Cron Meals yourself. Depending on the Market prices, it may be cheaper to buy Seafood Cron Meal or some of its ingredients.

Elixir of Mastery

Elixir of Mastery adds +10 Life Mastery for 10 minutes; the higher grade proc adds +15 Life Mastery for 15 minutes. It also carries a debuff, constantly depleting MP/WP/SP while the elixir is active. This debuff is negligible unless you are very low level with low MP/WP/SP regeneration.

I wouldn’t recommend using this Elixir unless you are desperate for a bit more Mastery as it is comparatively expensive to craft compared to its benefits.

Elixirs can’t be combined with draughts like the Verdure Draught. A draught will override any elixir buffs currently active, and consuming an elixir while a draught is active will have no effect.

Elixir of Mastery can be combined with other Life Mastery buff items like scrolls and food.

With Alchemy Skilled 1+, you can craft Elixir of Mastery which adds a small amount of Life Mastery for a very short time. Elixir of Mastery and it’s other versions can also be purchased from the Marketplace.

Permanent Life Mastery Gear

There is also permanent Life Mastery Gear you can wear to increase Life Mastery. Life Mastery gear also buffs Life EXP.
