Mastery Level

This article is about Profession Masteries. For Weapon Masteries, see Mastery.

Mastery Levels measure how much Experience a Profession has gained. Unlike Efficiency, a profession's mastery level cannot decrease.
There are three distinct mastery levels: Beginner, Advanced, and Master. Players are beginners of their profession by default.

Bonuses

Upon increasing a profession's mastery level, that profession will recieve permanent bonuses. These bonuses are different for Gathering Professions and Crafting Professions.

Gathering Professions

Each time a profession's mastery level increases, the next tier of that profession's corresponding resource nodes will be unlocked (up to tier 3). Players will also receive more gathering attempts.
There are 5 mastery levels in total:

Newbie professions receive 1 gathering attempt.

Journeyman professions receive 2 gathering attempts.

Craftsman professions receive 3 gathering attempts. Gathering time is reduced by 2 seconds.
