Patch Notes 2.0.6.20
Mastery System
This patch introduces the Mastery System. After reaching clade level 20, any Glory that your character earns will contribute to your Mastery Experience. You can open the Mastery System by pressing “Y” or using the micro tab at the bottom of your screen once you have reached level 20.
You can unlock 1000 levels of Mastery and spend 110 Mastery Points on 440+ different mastery Gifts. Levels beyond 110 currently unlock titles.
To unlock a Mastery Gift simply hold down the left mouse while hovering it in the tree. Some Mastery Gifts require an item to unlock and you can only unlock a gift if you have unlocked its parent gift first.
You can at any point refund a Mastery Gift and get your Mastery Point back by holding the left mouse button on an unlocked gift with no unlocked children. This requires you to have one Shard Of Oblivion that will be spent when you refund the gift.
Each clade has a slightly different Mastery Tree but most of the gifts are shared between all clades.

This patch has a huge focus on updating the new player experience, updating and improving many areas of the early game.

Haven Haven has seen a substantial rework of the starting experience and tutorial steps, with the addition of a taming tutorial for obtaining your first horse, followed by integrating the task systems where new players will complete their first tasks.

Using this tool you can set up search criterias and search for guilds that could suit your style.
