The quick answer

The Mastery reference distinguishes account Mastery progression from individual equipment ranks. Ranking eligible equipment contributes Mastery points, while advancing Mastery Rank involves its own test requirements.[1]

Understand the distinction

Our learning recommendation is to inspect the account’s displayed progress and the relevant test before choosing a grind. Repeating an action with a familiar item is not automatically proof of new Mastery credit.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Compare your account Mastery progress with the rank of the equipment you are using.[1]
  2. Check whether the equipment or activity is eligible for new Mastery credit.[1]
  3. Read and practice the available test instructions before attempting a rank increase.[1]

Limits and next steps

Exceptions exist for equipment types and progression systems; this article does not claim one fixed points total or retry rule for every item and rank.[1]
