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.
