Mastery

Mastery is a secondary system of levels tied to individual items within a skill. Each item in a non-combat skill (with the exception of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Alt. Magic

spells) has a level associated with it.

The bonuses unlocked by leveling Mastery depend on the specific skill the Mastery is associated with. To see a full list of bonuses for a given skill, check the in-game Mastery guide page for that skill or visit the wiki page for that skill.

Earning Mastery XP

Each time a player completes an action with an associated Mastery Level, they will receive Mastery XP for that item. The XP per action calculation is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \biggl[ \Bigl( \text{Unlocked Milestones} \times \frac{\text{Player Total Mastery for Skill}}{\text{Total Mastery for Skill}} \Bigr) + \Bigl( \text{Item Mastery Level} \times \frac{\text{Total Items in Skill}}{10} \Bigr) \biggr] \times \text{Seconds Per Action} \times 0.5 }[/math]

For the following skills, [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Seconds per Action} }[/math] is replaced with the following values, being the lowest possible seconds per action after applying all available interval reduction bonuses (except for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Firemaking

, where the value used is less than the lowest possible burn interval):

Skill	Seconds per Action
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking	60% of the log's burn interval before any interval reduction bonuses
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking	2.4
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing	1.6
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fletching	1.2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crafting	1.5
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting	1.6
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore	1.6

In other words, there are two main factors that are added together to determine the XP per action:

• The first is based on how many total Mastery levels the player has in the skill. Each item in a skill adds up to +1 to this factor depending on its current Mastery level.
• The second is based on the Mastery level of the specific item gaining XP multiplied by one tenth of the total number of items in the skill.

After both of these factors are added together, they are multiplied by half of the time per action as measured in seconds.

There are two important takeaways from this:

1. Mastery XP per action increases substantially as Mastery level in an item increases.
2. Mastery XP is gained much more quickly for skills with a lot of items (such as
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Smithing) than it is for skills with only a few (such as
   Error creating thumbnail: File missing
   Woodcutting).

Bonuses

Aside from increasing the factors mentioned in the formula above, there are several ways to increase the Mastery XP gained:

Name	Description
Ancient Ring of Mastery	The Ancient Ring of Mastery is a rare drop that can be found while Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing. It increases Mastery XP gained by 7%.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking	Each Firemaking item at level 99 Mastery grants +0.25% Mastery XP to other skills. In addition, reaching the 95% Mastery Pool Checkpoint for Firemaking increases global Mastery XP by +5%.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ty	Once acquired, the Mastery pet provides a +3% Mastery XP bonus.
Mastery Pool Checkpoints	The 10% Mastery Pool checkpoint for each skill is a +5% bonus to Mastery XP gained for that skill.

The Mastery Pool

Whenever the player gains Mastery XP, 25% of the amount received is also added to the Mastery Pool for that skill. After Skill level 99, this is increased to 50% of the item Mastery XP. The maximum Mastery Pool XP for a given skill is equal to 500,000 multiplied by the total number of items in that skill.

Mastery XP Pool has two uses:

First, it can be spent to level up any item mastery for a skill. Mastery Pool XP spent this way is converted to item mastery XP at a 1:1 rate.

Second, Checkpoints are reached when the Mastery Pool reaches 10%, 25%, 50%, and 95% filled. These bonuses vary by skill, but are often quite powerful. Checkpoints only remain active as long as the Mastery Pool has enough XP in it to meet the requirement - If enough Mastery Pool XP is spent on leveling items to dip below the threshold for a given checkpoint, the bonus will be lost until enough XP is gained to reach it again.

Mastery tokens can be claimed from the bank to fill the Mastery Pool for the relevant skill by 0.1% of the maximum pool XP.

Mastery Level XP

Mastery Experience follows the same XP progression as skills do.

The experience difference between level [math]\displaystyle{ L-1 }[/math] and level [math]\displaystyle{ L }[/math] is [math]\displaystyle{ \left\lfloor \frac{1}{4} \left( L-1+300 \times 2^{\frac{L-1}{7}} \right) \right\rfloor }[/math]. The tables below show this experience difference for each level and also the cumulative experience from level 1 to level [math]\displaystyle{ L }[/math].
