In Throne and Liberty, you can enhance your character, armor, and weapons in various ways, such as leveling up your gear and investing in skills. You might notice a section in your skills menu for Weapon Mastery, but it doesn’t show how to level it up. The good news is that you’ll unlock this feature sooner than you think.
Weapon Mastery in Throne and Liberty
Weapon Masteries add you even more passive effects upon your weapons, mainly regarding buffs on higher damage and accuracy. They also improve the stats of some of the characters: health, defence, and resistance. For example, to give you a clearer picture, perks of master dagger weapons are about increased chances to weaken and silence enemies, even faster skill cooldowns, and activation rates off-hand weapons. Sword perks, meanwhile, tend to focus more on buffs like shield blocking, collision resistance, and resistance against getting stunned, among others. Not that the overlap is barely minimal, though, overall weaknesses and strengths tend to add up to balance each other between the two types of weapons.

How to get Weapon Mastery
The easiest way to gain Weapon Mastery in Throne and Liberty is by using Training Dews, which you can earn through contracts, quests, and dungeon rewards. You can also receive them as rewards from an active Battle Pass. Training Dews look like teardrop-shaped items in your quest, contract, and dungeon rewards. Once you get one, you have 24 hours to redeem it, or it will disappear. While this won’t prevent you from earning Weapon Mastery, it can make it tougher to gain experience, especially in later levels where every bit of EXP matters.
Keep in mind that Weapon Mastery isn’t a universal stat for all weapon types. The experience from Training Dews only applies to the two weapons you have equipped at the moment. For instance, if you’re using a sword and a greatsword, any Training Dew experience you earn will only boost those two, leaving your other weapons at level zero. If you then switch to a wand and staff, they’ll remain at level zero until you invest more Training Dews into them. You might find that even after reaching higher levels and defeating hundreds of enemies, your Weapon Mastery isn’t progressing beyond using Training Dews. This is because Weapon Mastery doesn’t increase through regular combat, which makes completing contracts and dungeons even more crucial.
