trixantea.1230 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi, I'd like to ask this before using my icebrood mastery points: What kind of extra rewards do I get after upgrading Essence Manipulation mastey (Resilience, Valor, Vigilance) to T3?I can't find this anywhere and I don't want to waste these mastery points on something useless especially when Episode 3 is about to come.

Cyninja.2954 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Essence manipulation of rank 2 is required for medium and large chests, I can't recall if loot improves further from tier 2 to 3 though. Tier 3 is beneficial in strikes.If mastery points are a concern, if I am not mistaken, there are currently up to 5 spare for the Icebrood Saga, you can always wait for Tuesday and the patch. In general, every episode will yield at the very least enough mastery points to max out all new masteries, though how long and difficult some might be to acquire, that depends on each individual player.

Thank you. It seems that T3 mastery isn't really worth leveling up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 You may want Tier 3 for the upcoming Episode:The Essence Manipulation Mastery tracks expand with a 4th tier, allowing you to use your special action skills on enemies regardless of their essence. Skills will chain to nearby enemies with bonus damage if their essence is aligned to the skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the devs releases this anywhere or is this info coming from beta testers?Anyway, I hope the next episode will give us enough mastery points to level up all that.
