Mastery
From Tales of Midya Wiki
Masteries are similar to stats in that they modify how a skill functions. gathering skills will have a mastery tree devoted to every tier of the skill (tier 1 would be 1-10) for fishing this would be hand fishing. hand fishing would have a mastery tree that is separate from fishing as a whole, only changing how that part of fishing works*. at the time of writing our current plan for gathering mastery is it's based on nodes gathered so let's say I have successfully gathered 10,000 hand fishing nodes, I would be max mastery and be able to select 5 mastery perks, the final one improving my a small amount of my fishing as a whole.
