Mastery

• Grants the chance to land double hits.

Properties

• This skill will unlock weapon attributes that require Magic Staffs skill (like "Attack speed (Magic Staffs)).

• "Item Level Without Penalty" reduces the speed penalties for equipping high-level weapons, it doesn't allow equipping weapons above certain threshold (which depends on character level)

• The projectiles of staves are comparable in speed, flight path and range to those of Energy Weapons. (see Ranged Weapons for more info and comparison)

Breakpoints

• Item level without penalty is increased by one for every two skill points spent, starting at character level value. It is capped at 250.

• The bonuses are increased in steps as shown in the Magic Staffs full table.

The Attack Value bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

• 400*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
• 600*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The Attack Speed bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

• 80*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
• 120*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The bold marked numbers are the smallest upper bounds of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.

As an example, attack value at x=75: 75 is the first mastery level, so we take the mastery formula and we have

600*(75-32.5)/(75+66) = 600*42.5/141 = 180.85

This value compared with the table value is a good example of the precision the formulas offer.
