The '''Mastery Cave''' is an area located in the [[Cindersap Forest]]. It is unlocked after [[the Player]] has achieved max level in all 5 [[skills]]. It is unlocked right after the player reaches level 10 on their fifth skill; there is no need to wait until the next day.

The '''Mastery Cave''' is an area located in the [[Cindersap Forest]]. It is unlocked after [[The Player|the player]] has achieved level 10 in all 5 [[skills]]. It is unlocked right after the player reaches level 10 on the fifth skill; there is no need to wait until the next day.

If attempted to enter before reaching level 10 in all skills, a message will display: ''Only a master of the five ways may enter ([Number of max level skills]/5)''. Inside, the player finds a letter from [[Grandpa]] in the southeast corner, a pedestal in the middle of the cave that reads "The Last Path" and displays the mastery progress bar, and the five pillars, each describing a mastery of a skill.

Each pillar represents a mastery which grants special items or benefits. One can only be claimed once [[the Player]] reaches a new mastery level. The masteries may be picked in any order. However, each mastery level after the first costs progressively more experience points to unlock.  

Once the player enters the Mastery Cave, the game begins recording mastery points that are used to unlock a series of masteries. Each mastery is associated with one skill, and each is represented on a pillar on the cave's back wall. At any time, the player can view the special items and benefits associated with a mastery by visiting its pillar.

Unlike [[skills]], any type of experience gained counts towards a new mastery level. For instance, catching fish or mining nodes both generate progress for obtaining a new mastery level. In addition, unlike skills, it is possible for the player to track their progress towards the next mastery level in-game. The experience required to unlock each mastery level is as follows:

Mastery points are equivalent to "excess" skill experience points, above those needed to achieve the initial level 10 skills, and accumulated only after entering the cave. They are collected and grouped as a single quantity regardless of the skill type associated with the experience, and may be used to award any mastery. A mastery can be unlocked at a pillar only when a sufficient number of mastery points has accumulated. The player may pick which masteries to unlock in any order. Each mastery picked costs progressively more mastery points than the previous one, defining five levels of costs. The player can track in-game the current progress towards the next level.

 

The following table shows the costs to unlock each mastery:

After reaching a new mastery level, a message will show saying "You've reached a new level of understanding...". The player can then claim one of the masteries by going to the cave and interacting with a pillar.  

When the player accumulates enough mastery points to unlock a new mastery, the game shows a message saying "You've reached a new level of understanding...". The cave's pillars are then available for unlocking a mastery. Masteries achieved are shown on the [[Special Items & Powers]] tab of the player's inventory.

 

Obtained masteries will show up in the [[Special Items & Powers]] tab of the player.
