Martial Mastery[]
In the past, Era had a group of weapon skills that were obtained by donation. These weapon skills were copies of 75-Era appropriate weapon skills with different animations and different skillchain properties. To move away from even the smallest "pay-to-win" scenario, Era has implemented a custom Martial Mastery quest instead. Information on changes, old donations, and the quest can be found below.
Basic Information and Notable Changes[]
These Martial Mastery (Aeonic) weapon skills have "copied" damage calculations from a 75-Era appropriate weaponskill, but retain their unique skillchain properties. For consistency, future plans, and because level 3 skillchain properties are reserved for REMA weapons, any Empyrean weapon skills have been replaced with their Aeonic equivalent.
- Hand-to-Hand: Shijin Spiral is a copy of Asuran Fists with unique skillchain properties.
- Victory Smite has been replaced with Shijin Spiral.
- Dagger: Exenterator is a copy of Dancing Edge.
- Sword: Requiescat is a copy of Vorpal Blade.
- Great Sword: Resolution is a copy of Spinning Slash.
- Axe: Ruinator is a copy of Rampage.
- Cloudsplitter has been replaced with Ruinator.
- Great Axe: Upheaval is a copy of Raging Rush.
- Scythe: Entropy is a copy of Guillotine.
- Polearm: Stardiver is a copy of Penta Thrust.
- Katana: Blade: Shun is a copy of Blade: Jin.
- Great Katana: Tachi: Shoha is a copy of Tachi: Kasha.
- Club: Realmrazer is a copy of Hexa Strike.
- Staff: Shattersoul is a copy of Spirit Taker.
- Myrkr has been replaced with Shattersoul.
- Archery: Apex Arrow is a copy of Sidewinder.
- Jishnu's Radiance has been replaced with Apex Arrow.
- Marksmanship: Last Stand is a copy of Slug Shot.
Old Donations[]
- Old donations WILL carry over. Simply trade any weapon to Maat for the opening cutscene, then trade him again for the finishing cutscene.
- After the finishing cutscene you will receive your donated weaponskills.
- Any Empyrean weaponskills donated will be converted to proper Aeonic weaponskills.
- From this point, you will be able to quest any others that you didn't have before!
The Quest[]
The quest must be completed once per weaponskill you wish to learn. Once you have obtained all Martial Mastery weaponskills, you will be awarded with 50,000 exp (12,500 for mentors) and 5,000 cruor as an added bonus.
- You may wish to trigger Maat and see if he has any instructions for you, but this is optional.
- Each activation of the quest will cost you 3 merits. You must have 3 available merits to activate the quest.
- With 3 or more merits, trade Maat any weapon. (He will not keep it)
- If this is your first time triggering Martial Mastery, you will get a cutscene.
- Once activated, defeat 3 HNMs from the list below.
- Once you have defeated 3 HNMs from the list, return to Maat.
- Trade him the weapon type that matches the skill you wish to learn.
- Examples: Trade any sword to learn Requiescat, or any Polearm to learn Stardiver.
- Trade the same weapon type a second time to confirm, or a different type to change your selection.
- Quest complete! You may repeat until you have learned them all!
