What are Central Tyria masteries?

Central Tyria has three mastery tracks trained in the core regions of the game. They provide automatic looting, improved fractal rewards, and legendary weapon crafting options.

  • Total MP required: 49
  • Total XP required: About 31.43 million
  • MP available: 84 (35 extra)
  • Three tracks: Pact Commander, Fractal Attunement, and Legendary Crafting

Pact Commander

5 tiers Total 19 MP Key benefit: Automatic looting

Reaching the final tier, Advanced Logistics, costs 19 MP in total. It collects enemy loot automatically, making it a priority if you spend a lot of time in the open world.

1
Pact Mentor1 MP
Unlocks a mentor badge and chat title, plus 5% movement speed for you and your party in cities. The speed comes from Leader of the Pact I.
2
Productive Downtime2 MP
10% more crafting experience and a 10% higher chance of bonus crafting experience.
3
Supply Line Management3 MP
Buy one item per day from each Pact Supply Network Agent with karma. Your party's city movement speed bonus increases to 15%.
4
Noblesse Oblige5 MP
Revive allies faster and remove their downed penalty after a successful revive. This effect is disabled in challenge modes for raids, raid encounters, and Convergences.
5
Advanced Logistics8 MP
Automatic looting: Loot from defeated enemies goes straight into your inventory.
Automatic looting makes a noticeable difference
You spend less time picking up loot after each kill. If fractals are your priority, train the Fractal Attunement tiers you need alongside this track. If you mainly play the open world, finish this track first.
Enable the setting after unlocking it
After learning Advanced Logistics, open Options > General and enable Autoloot: Quick Interact . You need inventory space for automatic looting. Some chests, including ones that require keys, must still be opened manually.

Fractal Attunement

4 tiers Total 11 MP Key benefit: Improved fractal rewards

Unlocks higher recommended fractal rewards, ring attunement ingredients, better loot, and Mistlock Singularities. It is not required to start low T1 fractals, but train it as you continue playing them.

1
Follows Advice1 MP
Unlocks higher daily recommended fractal achievements and rewards, plus certain Mistlock Observatory vendor items. Ring attunement ingredients require the next tier.
2
Agony Channeler2 MP
Adds bonus +1 Agony Infusion rewards, access to Agonized Essence for attuning rings, and AR-based bonus attributes from Mist potions.
3
Recursive Resourcing3 MP
Bonus rewards from Chests of the Mists and Fractal Encryptions, with improved potion conversion.
4
Mistlock Singularities5 MP
Enables Mistlock Singularities inside fractals for a survival boost, and further improves potion conversion.
Tier 1 for recommended rewards; tier 2 for ring attunement
Follows Advice costs 1 MP; reaching Agony Channeler costs 3 MP in total. Train tier 2 if you need Agonized Essence to attune a ring. See Fractal Basics for more details.

Legendary Crafting

4 tiers Total 19 MP Key benefit: Precursor crafting and Mystic Runestones

Unlocks precursor collections and purchases of crafting components in stages. The final tier, Scholar of Secrets, also opens HoT legendary weapon routes and Mystic Runestone purchases. Train the tiers required once you have chosen the legendary you want to make.

A precursor is a weapon used as an ingredient for a legendary weapon.

1
Revered Antiquarian1 MP
Unlocks first-tier precursor weapon collections.
2
Magister of Legends3 MP
Unlocks the second stage of precursor weapon crafting.
3
Historian of the Armaments6 MP
Unlocks the third and final stage of precursor weapon crafting.
4
Scholar of Secrets9 MP
Unlocks HoT legendary weapon routes and Mystic Runestone purchases. Equipment that uses these stones, including generation 3 weapons, also needs this tier.
Required masteries depend on the legendary you want
For generation 1 weapons, buying the precursor on the Trading Post skips its collection route. Generation 3 weapons, Klobjarne Geirr, and Orrax Manifested require Scholar of Secrets to buy Mystic Runestones. Check your target equipment's ingredients first.

Suggested priorities

Here is a suggested order for a new player training Central Tyria masteries.

  1. Fractal Attunement tier 1 (1 MP): If you have started fractals, learn Follows Advice for higher recommended rewards. If you are not playing fractals yet, start with automatic looting below.
  2. Complete Pact Commander (19 MP): Aim for automatic looting. After learning the last tier, enable Autoloot: Quick Interact in Options.
  3. Remaining Fractal Attunement tiers (10 MP): Train these as you get further into fractals.
  4. Legendary Crafting (19 MP): Check the precursor route and Mystic Runestone requirements for your planned legendary. This can wait while you prepare your first equipment set.
Central Tyria offers 84 MP, while its masteries need only 49
