Mastery Rank

Mastery Ranking, commonly abbreviated as MR, is a method of tracking how much of the game’s total content a player has experienced with points earned by ranking up Warframes, Weapons, Companions, K-Drives, Necramechs, and Archwings with Affinity; successfully completing Junctions and nodes on the Star Chart; and ranking up Intrinsics.

In-game, every rank after MR30 is called a Legendary Rank (LR).

Players can view their own Mastery Progress and Rank by hovering the cursor over their Avatar on the top left corner of the UI. The profiles and Mastery progress of the player and other squad members can also be viewed by clicking “Profile” under their equipment tab. These details of other players in chat or in communications can be viewed by selecting their name and clicking “Profile.”

Increasing Mastery Rank

Mastery Points

To increase Mastery Rank, a player must earn Mastery Points through the following methods:

• Ranking Weapons, Kitgun Chambers, Zaw Strikes, Amp Prisms, Sentinel weapons, and Archwing weapons will earn 100 mastery points for each rank gained up to Rank 30 for a total of 3,000.
• Ranking Warframes, Companions, Archwings, K-Drives, the Plexus, and Necramechs will earn 200 mastery points for each rank gained up to Rank 30 for a total of 6,000, or 8,000 for a Necramech that has been polarized 5 times.
  • MOAs, Predasites, and Vulpaphylas must be ranked up to 30, gilded at their respective vendors, then ranked up again to award mastery points.
    • K-Drives, despite their modular nature, do not require gilding to be able to award mastery points.
  • Necramechs can exceed Rank 30 and will continue to grant 200 mastery points for each additional level until they reach Rank 40.
• MOAs, Predasites, and Vulpaphylas must be ranked up to 30, gilded at their respective vendors, then ranked up again to award mastery points.
• Clearing the main objective of any Mission node for the first time and extracting will grant a predetermined number of mastery points (Map progress can be viewed in the general stats in the profile menu).
• Victory against the opponent specter in a Junction grants 1,000 mastery points.
• Each rank of a Railjack’s Intrinsics grants 1,500 mastery points.

Take note that each individual equipment will only grant its mastery points once per variant; polarization or selling a Rank 30 equipment and then purchasing & reusing it will not grant mastery points again, including in the event that a copy of already max-ranked equipment is obtained and used. If equipment below max rank are sold, then purchased and reused, only the ranks previously not gained will grant mastery points.

Variants of original equipment count as a different equipment for mastery ranking; MK1, Prime, Syndicate, Vandal, Wraith, Prisma, Dex, Kuva, Tenet, the Mara Detron, the Ceti Lacera, and the Carmine Penta. For example, Braton, MK1-Braton, Braton Vandal, and Braton Prime are all considered different weapons, each with their own set of mastery points, with a total of 12,000 mastery points for fully ranking all four weapons. The same goes for different breeds of same-species Companion such as Chesa Kubrow, Raksa Kubrow, and Helminth Charger. Completing missions in The Steel Path also awards mastery that is separate from normal missions and Junctions.

Excess mastery points are not lost if a player reaches the amount required to advance a rank – these will automatically fill the next mastery bar, displayed only once the player has succeeded on the rank-up test.

Mastery Rank Tests

Mastery Test prompt with option to practice

In order to be promoted to the next Mastery Rank, a player must pass a test for each progressive rank they are trying to achieve. Mastery tests can only be accessed in solo play. Each test is different and usually harder between ranks.

When a player becomes eligible for their next Mastery Rank they will be alerted and be given the option to proceed to the test immediately or wait. If the player chooses to wait they can access the test by simply hovering over their profile icon and selecting the “Rank Up” option later. The player’s next Mastery Rank test will also be available for practice and, if eligible, for rank up in Cephalon Simaris’ Relay room, alongside the player’s past completed Mastery Rank tests.

There is a 24-hour lapse in between consecutive attempts, whether having failed and to retake the current test or having succeeded previously and to qualify for the next rank.

It is recommended players go along the right aisle of the Cephalon Simaris room in most relays to practice for the current test beforehand. Outside of practice mode, inability to complete a test due to forfeiting or disconnection will consume the allowed attempt for the current day.

Players are also able to redo previous tests along the Cephalon’s aisle. Players will be able to access all the tests previously passed, as well as the one for the next level.

The Operator cannot be used for Mastery Rank tests at 23 and below.

Tests for Rank 1-10

Exterminate Test (Primary)

This test requires players to exterminate three waves of enemies with their primary weapon.

The player starts in the center of a room encircled by eight pillars. From here they must eliminate 3, 5 and 8 enemies within 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 for each wave respectively.

Exterminate Test (Secondary)

This test requires players to eliminate three waves of enemies with their secondary weapon.

The player starts in the center of a room encircled by eight pillars. From here they must eliminate 8, 12 and 16 enemies within 0:45, 1:00 and 1:15 for each wave respectively.

Exterminate Test (Melee)

This test requires players to eliminate three waves of enemies with their melee weapon.

The player starts in the center of a room encircled by four pillars. From here they must eliminate 5, 7 and 9 enemies within 0:45, 1:00 and 1:15 for each wave respectively.

Survival Test

This test requires players to endure an unlimited onslaught of Infested for a given period of time.

The player starts in the center of a room surrounded by several walls and platforms. From here they must survive for 1:30.

Tips

• Leaving the center will relocate players to starting center instead.
• Stealth skills can be used to complete the test without issue.

Terminal Hacking Test

This test requires players to hack six terminals within a time limit of 1:45.

The player starts in the center encircled by terminals. From here they must hack three Grineer terminals and three Corpus terminals to pass the test.

Tips

• Failed hacks do not automatically fail the test, so long as they are completed before time limit ends.
• You may use Ciphers, despite the test’s purpose.

Target Tracking Test

This test requires players to track targets quickly and accurately.

The player starts the test standing on a brightly lit circular platform in a dark room encircled with metallic spheres. The metallic spheres will act as targets during the test. The player’s camera will be turned toward the first target at the beginning of each round. The sphere that is currently the target will glow red. Once the player shoots the first target, lines will connect unlit spheres in succession before stopping at another glowing red target. The player must follow the lines to find the new target to be shot. This process will repeat itself until the test has ended.

Tips

• Upon missing the white sphere, the original red sphere will be voided, reverting into a normal sphere. A new red sphere will appear elsewhere, thus it is better to take your time aiming rather than attempting to rush your aim.
• If you take too long to hit the sphere, the test will move on to a new target. A 100% success rate is not necessary to pass the test, so again, take your time.
• Any accurate weapon with a large magazine size (to avoid wasted time reloading) will do nicely. Shotguns are also a viable option since the test counts one shot per round, not per pellets.

Timed Exterminate Test

This test requires players to eliminate three waves of enemies within 1:00.

The player starts in the center of a white room with pillars circling the center. Grineer, Corpus, and Infested units will spawn in waves and must be dispatched of before time ends.

Tips

• Remain near the center of the room.
• Enemy Sense or
  Enemy Radar can help you find all enemies.
• Sentinels can help with eliminating targets.

Movement Test

This test requires players to jump across several platforms, with a varying distance between each one. Shooting the red orbs that appear spawns the next platform. Players have three tries to complete the test; any fall from the platforms counts as a try.

Tips

• This test is not timed, so give yourself some time to gauge each distance before you jump.
• Using advanced movement maneuvers (Bullet Jump, Double Jump, Wall Dash and Aim Glide) is necessary. If you have no experience with them, expect to have to try the test in practice mode (at Larunda Relay, Mercury, with Cephalon Simaris) several times. Note: bullet-jumping from a crouch rather than a slide makes this trial MUCH easier.
• You are limited to your secondary weapon for this test, so make sure to bring one with at least some range (and not, say, Atomos), or you might have trouble reaching the spheres.

1. First red orb: Bullet-jump to the platform. Remember to look up, not at the platform, while doing so, to jump higher.
2. Second red orb: Double-jump to the first platform, then bullet-jump to the second.
3. Third red orb: Bullet-jump to the platform.
4. Fourth red orb: Bullet-jump towards the wall, then wall-jump up it to land on the platform at its top. Jump to the next platform.
5. Fifth red orb: Bullet-jump towards the nearest, lower platform, again looking up. Then at the apex of your jump, aim-glide towards the platform in order to be able to reach it. Once landed, bullet-jump up to the final platform marked with a bright arrow.

Stealth Test

This test requires players to make use of cover and track enemy movements in order to assassinate targets without being detected using their equipped melee weapon only.

Players start in a room equipped with only their melee weapon. They make their way through three stages with increasing numbers of enemies and increasingly complexity patrol routes. Successful elimination of all enemies in a stage will unlock the next one.

Players are allowed three tries. Alerting an enemy counts as a try and will reset the stage. Falling off a platform does not count as a try. Also, there is no time limit.

At any point in time each enemy will be in one of 4 alert states: “Calm”, “Investigative”, “Suspicious” and “Alerted”.

• “Calm” is the default state all enemies start in. They will be slowly patrolling along their predefined patrol routes, speaking random phrases in their language. They can be killed with a stealth finisher while in this state.
• “Investigative” is the state an enemy enters when they briefly see the player for a split second. E.g. showing to an enemy from behind the pillar then quickly hiding back in is what could cause this state to be activated from “Calm”. They will pronounce a suspicion phrase that sounds like a question, and alter their patrol course to start moving to the point where they saw the player. The test does not yet fail if an enemy enters this state.
• “Suspicious” is when they see the player for longer still than what is required to enter “Investigative” state. E.g. falling off the platform in front of an enemy is an example of what could cause them to enter this state from “Calm”. They will pronounce a suspicion phrase, then simply stop dead in their tracks and wait for a few seconds. In this state they cannot be killed with a stealth finisher. If they don’t see a player within several seconds, they will fall back into “Calm” state and continue patrolling. The test does not yet fail if an enemy enters this state, and in fact it is quite possible to kill a nearby enemy that is transitioning from “Calm” into “Suspicious” state without failing the test.
• “Alerted”, is the state an enemy in “Suspicious” state enters when they only glance momentarily at a player. The test instantly fails, even if you subsequently kill the enemy that entered this state.

Tips

• Primary and secondary weapons, as well as abilities and companions, are disabled.
• Ranged melee weapons like the Glaive or theRedeemer can be used for taking out enemies from a safe distance.
  • Note that the Redeemer is not silent and cannot be silenced with any mods, although Banshee’s Passive Ability can counter this.
• Skiajati’s passive can make the player go invisible on Finishers.
• Enemies can see far ahead of them in a cone-shape that expands with more distance. The sounds of running, jumping and falling do not alert them. Swinging your weapon will not alert them either, except if they are in a close proximity.
• Enemies are also very weak; one melee hit kills them.
• Increasing field of view in the options helps in glancing around corners.
• Mods that increase enemy radar (Enemy Radar,Enemy Sense,Vigilante Pursuit) are extremely useful. It is also useful to open the full map (default M ) immediately on starting the test.
• Hitting ESC will pause the test, which is very useful when following a video walkthrough.

Walkthrough

• First stage: Three enemies. Kill the immobile enemy whose back is turned. Wait until one of the other two is hidden behind the pillars and the other has his back turned; run up to and kill that one. Then jump to the top of a pillar; the enemy can’t see you there and you can jump down and kill him from behind at your leisure.
• Second stage: Four enemies, two at ground level and two on an elevated walkway. Run towards one of the pillars closest to you and jump up it; the lower two can’t see you and you can jump down to kill them whenever it’s convenient. Then move below the walkway, keeping the other two in view; they can’t see you standing below them, so you can jump up behind them and kill them whenever they are far away from each other.
• Third stage: Six enemies, three in the courtyard enclosed by pillars nearer to you, and three towards the back. First, kill the nearer three: As soon as they appear, run towards the closest pillar on either side and hide. Wait until you are out of line of sight and kill the three enemies one at a time whenever convenient. Then, kill the two in the far corners: Move towards them, hiding behind pillars, and kill them when their back is turned. Finally, watch the last one on his small platform: when his back is turned, jump carefully up behind him and kill him.

Disappearing Platform Test

This test requires players to eliminate targets at range while maneuvering on platforms in a 3×3 grid that will permanently disappear after a few seconds of standing on them.

The player will spawn in on a normal platform and the test will begin once you enter the grid area. You must kill all enemies spawning periodically atop five elevated platforms which line the far end of the grid. Once the player steps on a platform it will begin flashing increasing in speed until it disappears 8 seconds later.

Players have three chances to complete the test. Falling from the tileset counts as a try.

Tips

• The number of targets is always 15, or, approximately, 1.6 per platform.
• It is recommended to go on all the edge platforms then use the one in the very middle to make use of all platforms and provide additional time.
• There are invisible walls preventing players from accessing the elevated platforms.
• Using Titania’sRazorwing form can make this test trivial.
• Using a Continuous Hit-Scan weapon, such as the Quanta can make hitting targets easier.
• Using the Ignis can make the test inconsequential; as without having to aim precisely, you are free to focus on ensuring you have a safe platform to stand on.Sinister Reach is suggested for this approach, but not required.
• It is possible to stand on a tiny protrusion on one of the enemy platforms removing the urgency to maneuver the disappearing platforms.

Tests for Rank 11-20

Time Trial Test

This test requires players to make their way through an obstacle course while shooting red orbs to increase the amount of time they have to finish the course. Each orb adds 5 seconds of time.

Tips

• Fast moving frames such as Volt orLoki are very handy for this test as speed can significantly ease completion.
• Using Zephyr’sTail Wind can make it possible to reach the end of the test without the need to go through the entire course. Especially the maze towards the end as she can go over the walls.
• Be sure to bring hitscan weapons as well, as some orbs move. At one point, you will take a hovering platform slowly up, during which moving orbs will appear. It is critical to shoot these as the time it takes for you to reach the top may run your time out.
• When attempting to complete the challenge, it is best to keep moving in the case that you miss an orb. Stopping to shoot the orb can result in you basically using the time you just gained.
• Using Titania’sRazorwing allows the player to fly through the test.

Carousel Test

This test requires players to eliminate enemies while being aware of their surroundings.

Players start on a platform facing a carousel-like structure with two disks connected with a large pillar at their centers. Between the disks are a set of lasers which separate the quadrants of the disks and slowly rotate around the disks, essentially circling the “carousel”.

The object of the test is to reach the carousel, eliminate 16 enemies spawning on the outer disk, all while avoiding the moving lasers.

Tips

• The lasers move at about walking speed, and position can be judged by the set in front of the player.
• The lasers heavily damage shields, but the player is permitted to use revives available to them if they die.
  • Rhino’sIron Skin can prevent this instant kill.
  • Ivara’sProwl withInfiltrate augment can be used to easily pass this test, as players will be able to walk through lasers unharmed and will still be able to kill enemies on the outer ring.
  • Limbo’s Rift Walk can be used to pass through the lasers unharmed.
  • Using Titania’sRazorwing allows the player to fly above most of the lasers and towards the enemies, killing them easily.
  • Wukong’sCloud Walker ability allows you to pass through the lasers unharmed. His passive 5 masteries of death can also allow you extra revives.
• A relatively accurate weapon is recommended, as the enemies are at mid to long range.
• Sentinels with Deth Machine Rifle orStinger can help with eliminating targets.
• Ballistica, its burst fire producing a projectile “fan” when mobile, makes this test trivial.

Advanced Disappearing Platform Test

This test requires players to eliminate enemies while remaining extremely mobile.

Players start facing a number of platforms surrounded by walls which can be run across. Once the player touches a platform, it begins to flash increasingly rapidly and will disappear after a few seconds. The platforms are arranged with one in each corner, and three stacked vertically in the center.

Players have three tries to eliminate all enemies on surrounding platforms. Each fall counts as a try and returns all previously exhausted platforms.

Companions cannot be used in this test.

Tips

• The number of targets is always 16, or, approximately, 2.3 per platform.
• Plan the order by which you will use the platforms, to avoid getting stuck in a corner.
• Utilize Power Wall Climbing to stand on top of walls and shoot enemies easier above disappearing platforms.
• Mesa can use her
  Peacemaker ability to take this test.
• Titania can use her
  Razorwing ability to hover above the platforms, and ignore the mechanic. Since you only start with 50 energy in the test, using either a Squad Energy Restore or
  Preparation is suggested.
• Similarly Zephyr can use her chargedTail Wind ability to hover, delaying the need to move to the next platform.
• Using the Akarius makes this test extremely inconsequential, since the homing rockets fired out of the gun explode upon hitting the ground and deal splash damage.

Advanced Exterminate Test

This test requires players to eliminate three waves of enemies of levels 15-20.

The player starts on the first level of a tower with multiple cover points and must eliminate targets until they are warped to the next level. There are three waves with Grineer, Infested, and Corpus units respectively.

Tips

• Be careful of the gaps in the level.
• Transference and Companions (except Venari) are disabled, so try to use a well-rounded loadout.
• It appears that there is no time limit.
• Enemy numbers: 10 Grineer, 20 Infested (including both crawlers and ospreys), 15 Corpus.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 15 Test

Interception Test

This test requires players to capture and hold points in an Interception mission.

Tips

• Some targets may not be standing on the same Interception point or are being blocked by consoles. Punch through will be of some use mitigating this issue.
• Vauban can use his Tether or Bastille to hold enemies in place to prevent them from capturing points.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 16 Test

Defense Test

This test requires players to defend a Cryopod for 3 waves of level 25 to 30 Corpus.

• Wave 1: 8 enemies; Wave 2: 12 enemies; Wave 3: 16 enemies

Tips

• Taking Frost and usingSnow Globe will help you complete this test easily.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 17 Test

Advanced Timed Exterminate Test

This test requires the player to kill 30 Infested targets within a short time limit. Players can melee attack orbs that spawn to add extra time.

Tips

• Taking Wukong and usingCelestial Twin can make the test fairly simple by having the twin use your primary weapon to kill the enemies while you use your melee to hit the orbs as they spawn.
• There will be a sphere that upon destruction will grant the player +7 seconds. It can only be harmed with melee.
  • Thrown melee weapons like Glaive,Kestrel andHalikar don’t deal any damage to the spheres when thrown.
  • Spin attack of Telos Boltace can destroy the spheres. As the spheres have object-based health, line of sight is not required to damage them.
  • The charge attacks from Redeemer andSarpa cannot harm the spheres.
• Thrown melee weapons like

Warframe – Mastery Rank 18 Test

Advanced Defense Test

This test requires the player to defend a Cryopod for 5 waves of level 25 to 30 Corpus.

• Enemies per wave – Wave 1: 8; Wave 2: 12; Wave 3: 16; Wave 4: 18; Wave 5: 20.

Tips

• Taking Frost and usingSnow Globe will help you complete this test easily.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 19 Test

Stealth Rescue Test

This test requires the player to destroy six orbs without being detected by the 12 patrolling Grineer Lancers, and then escort a rescue target to the extraction point.

Tips

• The player gets three attempts to complete the test without detection, after which the test will fail.
• Primary and Secondary weapons are restricted, you only have access to your Melee weapon.
• Active warframe abilities are disabled, however passive abilities (such as Banshee’s Hush) remain in effect.
• Glaives are ideal for taking out enemies from a safe distance.
  • Note that the Heavy Attacks of Gunblades create noise and cannot be silenced with any mods, although Banshee’s Passive Ability can counter this.
  • Bug: After falling off the map the Gunblade may become unusable, and players can no longer aim glide. The only complete solution is to retake the trial since even failing the attempt in progress doesn’t fix the issue. Workaround: assuming one managed to kill all the enemies beforehand, or at least the majority, it is possible to destroy an orb using jump kicks. One has to take a good running start, aim at the orb, run, bullet jump and press and hold crouch (CTRL ) while in the air until the orb is hit. This may not destroy it at first so it might take a few attempts. Moreover, the orb sometimes explodes spontaneously soon after hitting it.
• As of Update 28.0 (2020-06-11), equipment and gear items are disabled during the test.
  • Archgun Deployer cannot be used.
• Ivara’s passive as well as mods such as
  Enemy Radar,
  Enemy Sense and
  Vigilante Pursuit will allow you to see enemies on the minimap, making locating and avoiding them easier. Using
  Rush,
  Armored Agility, and
  Speed Drift will allow you to sneak up on enemies quicker, and
  Coaction Drift will increase the
  Enemy Radar further.
• Wisp’s passive invisibility during jumps and aim-glide works very well with aim-glide mods and enemy radar. Jumping continually, landing behind and melee attack clears the map easily.
• Rakta Dark Dagger will help you sneak up on the enemies, as this weapon reduces enemy visibility. You will need to ensure that it can damage the enemies quick enough or you will be detected.
• Using the Skiajati can trivialize the test, because its unique ability (five seconds of invisibility on Finisher attacks) functions during the test.
• The best approach is to ignore the orbs and first observe the enemies’ patrol patterns and eliminate them one by one. Once all enemies are down, get all the orbs, then get the rescue target. Most importantly DO NOT RUSH the test – a slow and methodical approach makes this test much simpler.
• Open Mission Progress with (ESC } > View Mission Progress, or TAB ) to see how many Grineer enemies have been killed so far. There is a total of 12 Grineer enemies in the test, and they never respawn once killed.
• In Practice mode there are up to ~20 enemies, instead of 12.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 20 Test

Archwing Time Trial Test

This test requires the player to fly between two platforms in Archwing mode before the timer runs out. There is a series of rings between the two platforms that grant additional time of 2 seconds when flown through. The player starts out with 10 seconds.

Tips

• Your Warframe’s Sprint Boost aura mod and max or nearly maxHyperion Thrusters will make quick work of this mission. You should also sprint (with toggle on) and immediately go for afterburners, and use blink between the rings.
  • Using Blink will NOT take you through the rings, and thus will NOT add additional time.
• Naturally, take Itzal into this mastery test to grant you an upper edge on the challenge thanks to its higher base speed.

Tests for Rank 21-30

Warframe – Mastery Rank 21 Test

Timed Exterminate Test

This test requires the player to kill 35 enemies before the timer runs out. The player must destroy several orbs with their melee weapon to extend the timer, which spawn in random locations around the map.

Tips

• The timer starts at 20 seconds, and each orb adds 15 seconds to the timer.
• A total of 8 orbs will spawn, after which the player will be unable to further increase the remaining time.
• Ranged melee weapons, such as the Glaive andExcalibur’sExalted Blade can be used to destroy the orbs from a distance.
• The map is very vertical, and thus an agile loadout is preferred. Consider bringing a Bullet Jump mod to help travel between platforms.
• Utilizing a Warframe with AoE abilities such as Ash,Ember, andSaryn, will allow the player to eliminate enemies with minimal effort.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 22 Test

Arena

This test consists of three rounds requiring the player to kill 12 / 18 / 24 Executioners (level 40). The player is given 3 respawns before the mission will fail. Executioners will spawn in pairs, a maximum of 6 simultaneously. The first round has a speed boost modifier, the second round has a health drain modifier (drains 100 health periodically until you have 3 health, killing enemies restores all health) and the third round has a scaling enemies modifier. Falling out of the map uses one respawn.

Tips

• Falling off the arena counts as a death. Take extra precautions to avoid the edge of the platforms or being knocked over them.
• As gear use is not allowed, it is advisable to equip Energy Siphon,Streamline, orFleeting Expertise for energy regen/ability efficiency.
• Ash’s
  Blade Storm can make quick work of the Executioners.
• Rapid Resilience is recommended to help counter enemy
  Cold procs.
• Ammo is not replenished between rounds; bring ammo efficient weapons.
• There are ammo, health, and energy spawns scattered around the map; energy is marked on the map with a blue circle, ammo and health have no markers.
• Loki trivializes this test. Put on Vitality to minimize accidental death in the second round due to health drain.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 23 Test

Mobile Point Capture Test

This test requires the player to capture 6 mobile control points before the timer runs out by standing within a radius as they move along set paths. Various types of Grineer enemies will spawn throughout the map, attacking the player as they capture the points. Capture progress will quickly decay while the player is outside of the white radius. The point will gradually turn green and then stop moving upon reaching 100%.

Tips

• The player has 5 minutes to capture all 6 control points, with no way to increase the remaining time.
• The points can move very fast along certain paths, making it particularly difficult to aim at the surrounding enemies. Therefore, area-of-effect weapons and abilities are highly recommended.
• Control of an incomplete point will rapidly decay if it is not actively being captured.
• Area-of-effect crowd control abilities can trivialize the test if modded for sufficient range and duration.
• Some of the control points move much faster than base movement speeds. Equipping max rank Rush,Armored Agility, andSprint Boost together grants enough speed for most Warframes to keep up with all but the fastest points with little effort.
• There are no sources of energy outside of enemy drops, so Energy Siphon,Rage and/orHunter Adrenaline, and high Ability Efficiency are recommended.
• A high-duration Loki is ideal as it will allow players to ignore incoming damage by utilizingInvisibility.
• Limbo trivializes this test. Using Rift Walk at the beginning of the test, Limbo can remain in the Rift Plane indefinitely, effectively becoming immune to all damage for the duration of the test at no cost.
• An alternative way to make this test bearable would be to utilize Warframes with abilities that can distract or divert the enemies’ attention.
  • Saryn’sMolt will divert enemy attacks while the speed boost allows her to catch up with the mobile control points. EquippingRegenerative Molt also lets Saryn heal up, further increasing her survivability.
  • Revenant’sEnthrall can take command of some of the enemies without needing to pause in order to cast it, creating a diversion as the enemies fight amongst themselves while providing ample time to focus on capturing mobile control points.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 24 Test

Operator Test

This test requires the player to use their Operator to destroy an orb in the center of a small arena, while being attacked by Infested Brood Mothers. The player is given 3 respawns before the mission will fail.

Tips

• Jumping off the platform doess not kill the player.
• The player has 3 minutes to destroy the orb, with no way to increase the remaining time.
• The Operator is stripped of their Amp, and thus must carefully choose between using energy for Void Sling, Void Mode, or Void Beam.
  • In the past dying during the test allowed the player to use their equipped amp, but this is no longer possible.
• Despite how short the obstacles on the arena appear, they cannot be stood on, even using Void Sling.
• The orb’s size and hitbox shrink as it takes more damage.
  • If the player dies – this does not refresh the orb’s hit points, giving an opportunity to finish it off after respawning.
  • However orb’s hit points will regenerate over time if it stops taking damage for a while.
• There are two respawning energy orbs on opposite sides of the arena. Use these to your advantage.
• Falling off the platform will not kill the Operator, but it is still recommended to be careful, as reappearing on the platform can trigger the heavy landing animation and leave them open to attack.
• Void Mode will detach Maggots, though it will not kill them and they and can leap back onto the player at will, lifespans excepting.
• Void Sling is effective for evading Maggots, and will also remove any Maggots attached to the Operator. Dashing through enemies will replenish a little energy as well as damage them.
  • Dashing towards the Brood Mothers to knock them off platforms also provides time to concentrate on the orb.
• Magus Lockdown can help to paralyse enemies for a short duration.
• Brood Mothers can be killed, but more will spawn to replace them as the test progresses. There will never be more than two Brood Mothers at one time, excepting bugs/glitches.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 25 Test

Deployable Archwing Exterminate Test

This test requires the player to use an Archwing deployed by the Archwing Launcher to traverse a multitude of floating platforms, killing 50 enemies before the timer runs out. The player can extend the remaining time by melee attacking the orbs that spawn on these platforms.

Tips

• The timer starts at 28 seconds, and each orb destroyed will increase it by 20, up to a maximum of 29 seconds.
• Each platform contains a respawning Archwing that can be used to travel to another platform once it has been cleared.
• Blink maneuver can be used to traverse between platforms extremely quickly.
• Titania is ideal for this test, as
  Razorwing allows her to traverse the platforms without an Archwing and she can freely use the
  Diwata without exiting the ability.
• Enemies falling off the platforms do not count as kills; as such, Crowd Dispersion or melee weapons with high knockback may be undesirable.
  • It is possible to complete the test without using any Archwing maneuvers as shown here

Warframe – Mastery Rank 26 Test

Advanced Mobile Point Capture Test

This test requires the player to capture 6 mobile control points within 5 minutes by standing within a radius as they move along set paths, while under constant fire from the Grineer. Capture progress will quickly decay while the player is outside of the white radius. The point will gradually turn green and then stop moving upon reaching 100%.

Tips

• In contrast to the normal variant of this test:
  • The Grineer enemies here are relatively high leveled (level 41-46). It is recommended to bring a Warframe that can sustain itself under heavy gunfire, such as Inaros,Rhino,Nezha orNidus.
  • The map in this test is much more vertical and open, increasing the overall heavy gunfire that must be endured.
  • You can use your Operator.
  • The mobile points move even faster, and they can move along a vertical path.
• The Grineer enemies here are relatively high leveled (level 41-46). It is recommended to bring a Warframe that can sustain itself under heavy gunfire, such as
• Much like the normal variant, the player has 5 minutes to capture all 6 control points, with no way to increase the remaining time.
• There are no sources of energy outside of enemy drops, so Energy Siphon, high Ability Efficiency,Rage and/orHunter Adrenaline, and Zenurik’sWellspring are recommended.
• Limbo or
  Loki are ideal as they can ignore incoming damage by utilizing Rift Walk or
  Invisibility, respectively.
• Saryn can also make the test easy, as her
  Molt will divert enemy attacks while the speed boost allows her to catch up with the mobile control points. Equipping
  Regenerative Molt also lets Saryn heal up, further increasing her survivability.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 27 Test

Index Banking Test

This test requires the player to collect 100 points and bank them within 5 minutes by moving around and grabbing points and banking them. The test will complete when the player has banked 100 points. Lvl25+ Grineer units will spawn during the mission, gradually increasing in level as time passes.

Tips

• Unlike The Index, you have to activate the deposit point to manually bank points.
• The map is very open to grab points using frames like Titania,Zephyr, orNova to teleport around.
• Using Zenurik Tree on your Operator with max bound “Void Flow” to dash around is a fast way to complete this test.
• Orange orb locations are on the higher ground, worth 3 points each.
• Blue orb locations are on the lower ground and between platforms, worth 1 point each.
• Killing Grineer enemies marked with red color will drop an Orange orb worth 3 points.
• Orbs respawn when the player banks them in for points.
• It is possible to keep enemies at low level during the whole 5 minutes by not killing them. Making them less dangerous while the player is running around collecting points.
• Orbs are affected by Vacuum andFetch. Utilizing in combination withMag’sGreedy Pull makes this test very easy.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 28 Test

Condensed Thermia Extermination Test

This test requires the player to eliminate 60 enemies within certain time limits. The enemies are initially invulnerable and colored in red, requiring the player to pick up canisters of Condensed Thermia, at most 7 of which will spawn on a schedule in 7 specific different locations throughout the map. The order of the 7 spawn locations is always the same. These canisters must be thrown at enemies (default: MMB ) to make them vulnerable, changing the enemy color from red to cyan. The first canister will spawn 5 seconds after the test starts, and each canister will expire 20 seconds after spawning in, with the expiration timer not stopping when the canister is picked up (however it is stopped once the player has thrown the canister and it is falling). Once a canister is thrown, the next one will spawn in 10 seconds (reduced to 5 seconds if the canister expires without being thrown). If 60 enemies are not killed within 15 seconds of throwing the 7th canister (or within 5 seconds of it expiring without being thrown) – the test will fail. This implies that the maximum possible time the test can run for is 3 minutes 40 seconds (but it will be shorter if canisters are thrown before their 20 second expiration timer, or if some canisters expire before being thrown). This test uses the canister throwing game mechanics first seen in the Exploiter Orb fight but adapted for extermination.

Tips

• Because the maximum number of canisters is limited to 7 – it is recommended to throw the canisters into clusters of enemies to maximize their effectiveness.
  • Magus Anomaly andMagus Lockdown can be used to pull enemies into a cluster.
  • Certain warframe abilities can also pull enemies into a cluster (Nidus’sLarva,Vauban’sBastille in Vortex mode,Khora’sEnsnare,Mag’s short-tapMagnetize, orYareli’sRiptide), built with high Ability Range. Stay aware of your energy however as Parasitic Eximus units will spawn during this test.
• Enemies need to be killed quickly after throwing a canister as the next canister will always spawn 10 seconds after the current one is thrown with the 20 second canister expiration timer immediately starting upon spawning in even if the player is still busy killing the enemies from the previous canister.
• As the order of the 7 spawn location is always the same – memorising the order of canister spawn locations may be helpful in order to start moving closer towards the next canister spawn location a few seconds before a canister spawns in there.
• Gear items (except vehicles such as Archwing or K-Drive) may be used for this test. Summoning an On Call Crew and commanding them to “Hold position” (default: X while being close to the crew member) will cause the nearby enemies to attack the initially invulnerable crew member thus causing enemies to cluster in that spot (note that the crew member will become vulnerable to enemy damage if a canister is thrown closeby). Periodically dropping a Squad Energy Restore can help to supply energy for any warframe abilities needed.
• Operator Void Slings are a great way to get to the Thermia canisters quickly, especially with Magus Cadence andFar Sling, and the Operator can carry the canisters even while in void mode (but will drop it on transference in, although if the frame is holding holding a canister – this will continue to be held on transference out/in).Titania also works very well for rapidly reaching canisters withRazorwing (however if a canister is held – it will be dropped if Razorwing is activated).

Warframe – Mastery Rank 29 test

Advanced Timed Extermination Test

This test requires the player to eliminate 100 enemies, with enemy levels starting at 50 and ending at 110. The player is given a 14-second countdown timer to kill waves of enemies, each enemy kill resets the timer by 2 seconds. Every 10 enemies killed the test conditions get harder:

• 10 enemies: enemy level +10
• 20 enemies: enemy level +20
• 30 enemies: enemy health +50%
• 40 enemies: enemy level +30
• 50 enemies: max timer -3s
• 60 enemies: enemy level +40
• 70 enemies: enemy armor +50%
• 80 enemies: enemy level +50
• 90 enemies: enemy level +60

If the player dies or runs out of time, they will start again from 0 kills, and have 3 attempts total to succeed.

Tips

• Mesa’s
  Peacemaker, combined with some Energy Restores, can make this test trivial. Do not forget to use
  Shatter Shield (with
  Staggering Shield recommended) beforehand to improve her survivability especially later in the test with higher level ranged enemies.
• Strategically deployed near targeted ranged enemies, decoys by Loki andSaryn can both help draw fire from faraway ranged enemies and pull melee-type enemies closer for a faster kill.
  • Additionally, Loki’s Radial Disarm will force ranged enemies to go in melee and close in, making them far easier to take out. It is not recommended to haveIrradiating Disarm equipped, however, as enemies might chase down other enemies due to theRadiation proc.
• Additionally, Loki’s
• Ammo is not restored between attempts; the relatively low number of enemies combined with their buffs will make ammo efficient weapons and/or Ammo Restore gear important.

Warframe – Mastery Rank 30 Test

Advanced Survival Test

This test requires the player to kill in each of 5 stages (or waves) a number of level 60-100 enemies (colored in cyan) from all different factions, then level 90-130 Arbitration Shield Drone together with 1-9 level 100-140 Eximus “bosses” (colored in red and highlighted with a globally visible red “target” icon), and finally interact with the Life Support Capsule (highlighted with a globally visible yellow “interact” icon) all while under Survival-style conditions (albeit with a much accelerated depletion timer and an instant failure upon depletion). After killing the bosses, the player must activate a single use Life Support Capsule to trigger the next stage – including one final capsule after killing stage 5 bosses to pass the test.

• Stage 1: 20 level 60 enemies, 2 bosses:
  • Arbitration Shield Drone (level 90)
  • Napalm (level 100 Eximus)
• Stage 2: 25 level 60-70 enemies, 4 bosses:
  • Vapos Nullifier (level 110 Eximus)
  • Terra Crewman (level 110 Eximus)
  • All bosses from stage 1 respawning at levels 100-110
• Stage 3: 30 level 70-80 enemies, 6 bosses
  • Juno Shield Osprey (level 120 Eximus)
  • Corrupted Bombard (level 120 Eximus)
  • All bosses from stage 2 respawning at levels 110-120
• Stage 4: 35 level 80-90 enemies, 8 bosses:
  • Corrupted Heavy Gunner (level 130 Eximus with the Steel Path modifications)
  • Brood Mother (level 130 Eximus)
  • All bosses from stage 3 respawning at levels 120-130
• Stage 5: 40 level 90-100 enemies, 10 bosses:
  • Nox (level 140 Eximus with the Steel Path modifications)
  • Tusk Mortar Bombard (level 140 Eximus)
  • All bosses from stage 4 respawning at levels 130-140

• The test may be paused (default: Esc ).
• Life support depletes at a rate of 1% every 0.66 seconds (which is therefore 2.25 times faster than every 1.5 seconds in regular Survival), and the test will instantly fail when this reaches 0%. It initially starts at 107%, which is therefore 71 seconds before the test fails, but can be replenished up to 100% (giving 66 seconds) in 2 ways:
  • Mobs will occasionally drop Life Support Modules when killed (highlighted with a globally visible yellow icon; these can be picked up either by walking over them, or by walking nearby with Vacuum/Fetch equipped on the Companion), extending the timer when picked up by 10% (i.e. by 6.6 seconds).
  • Each of the 5 end-of-stage single use life support capsules when activated increases timer by 35% (i.e. by 23.1 seconds).
• Mobs will occasionally drop Life Support Modules when killed (highlighted with a globally visible yellow icon; these can be picked up either by walking over them, or by walking nearby with
• In case the player gets killed during the test, they will simply respawn on the same spot, but will start again with 100 Warframe energy.
• Being knocked off or jumping off a platform does not kill the character. This includes both the player, ordinary mobs and bosses – they will simply respawn shortly near their jumping off location.
• Companions, Operator and most gear items (including Arch-guns) can be used during the test, but vehicles (such as Archwing, Necramech) and non-companion allies (such as Specters) – cannot.

Tips

• Crowd control and Sprint Speed are both essential considerations for this test, as killed mobs drop crucial Life Support Modules that when picked up extend the test’s timer.
  • Bring weapons that excel in crowd control such as Ignis,Atomos,Kuva Nukor, and secondary-typeSporelacer (Primary).
  • Operator abilities as well as arcanes Magus Lockdown andMagus Anomaly can help both cluster enemies together and do Area of Effect damage.
  • Mesa’sPeacemaker, with good Health and energy sources (Rage,Hunter Adrenaline,Protea’sDispensary), can quickly dispose of mobs and most bosses, as long as they are not protected by the Arbitration Shield Drone, which is not targetable by the Regulator pistols and thus are needed to be taken down by traditional means. EquippingMesa’s Waltz is recommended to help circle around obstacles to take out hiding enemies.
  • Protea’sBlaze Artillery andGrenade Fans are powerful crowd control abilities that will help eliminate mobs en masse.
  • Saryn’sSpores, combined with high Ability Range and good Ability Strength, can make short work of surrounding mobs, whileMolt can help her move faster.
  • Warframes built with high Ability Range and possessing abilities that pull enemies into a cluster (Nidus’sLarva,Vauban’sBastille in Vortex mode,Khora’sEnsnare,Mag’s short-tapMagnetize, orYareli’sRiptide), will also help deal with the mobs and make Life Support Module pickups more convenient to pick up. Be aware of your energy reserves, however, as Parasitic Eximus units will spawn during this test.
  • Garuda infused withGloom can trivialize this test, as enemies around her are significantly slowed and leaving them extremely vulnerable to attacks. This is markedly better when combined withBloodletting and high Ability Strength.
  • Companions join the player during the test. Bringing Nautilus with the Cordon precept clusters enemies together for an easier clear, andVacuum can help collecting Life Support modules (just note that it makes harder to kill bosses as they will be randomly shifted about the map just as any other enemy, however on the balance the benefit of faster enemy kills seems to be more important).
• Bring weapons that excel in crowd control such as
• The Nox at Stage 5 is arguably the toughest of all the bosses due to his higher stage 5 level, innate damage reduction while his glass cover is not broken, combined with his Steel Path modifications.
  • As of Update 30, knocking him off the platform will simply teleport somewhere nearby his knock-off location (it has been reported to have killed him in the past, but this is no longer the case).

Tests for Legendary Rank 1-10

Warframe – Mastery Rank LR1 Test

Legendary Exterminate Test (Primary)

This test requires players to exterminate three waves of level 80-85 Terra Corpus with their primary weapon. All Warframe abilities and the Operator are disabled.

The player starts in the center of a room encircled by eight pillars. From here they must eliminate 15, 30 and 45 enemies within 1:00, 1:30 and 2:00 for each wave respectively.

Tips

• Keep in mind that all humanoid Terra Corpus variants resist 75% of all Cold,Blast,Magnetic, andViral damage done to their health, so mod your primary weapon accordingly.
• Reserve ammo is not consumed throughout the test.
• Due to the high level of enemies and inability to use abilities, Warframes with high base tankiness or innate invisibility such as Inaros,Nidus,Grendel andWisp are highly recommended to endure the fight.

Warframe – Mastery Rank LR2 Test

Legendary Exterminate Test (Secondary)

This test requires players to exterminate three waves of level 80-85 Tusk Grineer with their secondary weapon. All Warframe abilities and the Operator are disabled.

The player starts in the center of a room encircled by eight pillars. From here they must eliminate 10, 20 and 30 enemies within 1:00, 1:30 and 2:00 for each wave respectively.

Tips

• Reserve ammo is not consumed throughout the test.
• Due to the high level of enemies and inability to use abilities, Warframes with high base tankiness or innate invisibility such as Inaros,Nidus,Grendel andWisp are highly recommended to endure the fight.
• Due to the test using exclusively high-level Grineer enemies, modding your weapon for Corrosive damage is highly effective. Corrosive + Heat is also a good combination as the Heat proc will stagger the enemies giving you easier aim with less time spent aiming.

Mastery Ranks Allocation

• Experience needed for each level, up to MR 30, is calculated by the formula: 2,500 × (Rank2)
• For Legendary ranks: 2,250,000 + (147,500 * Legendary rank #)

Other Benefits

• Unranked equipment in the inventory will begin with a mod capacity equal to the player’s current Mastery Rank, with the maximum being 30 for Mastery Rank 30 (60 for equipment with a Orokin Reactor/Orokin Catalyst equipped, before aura and stance bonuses). Though this will not affect the maximum capacity in any way, it provides higher-ranked players with a significant starting benefit, especially towards polarized equipment.
  • This also applies for Legendary Ranks on equipment whose ranks can be increased above 30. For example, Legendary Rank 1 increases the minimum capacity to 31 (62 with an Orokin Reactor/Catalyst).
• When polarizing Warframes, Archwings, and Necramechs, their abilities and/or ability ranks may be maintained as their rank and stats reset to 0.
• Each rank-up increases the daily maximum Syndicate standing by 500 (starting from16,000 for [MR0]).
• Each rank-up increases the maximum accumulation cap of Void Traces by 50 (starting from 100 for [MR0]).
• Each rank-up increases the daily maximum of Focus points earned through Focus Lenses by 5,000 (starting from 250,000 for [MR0]).
• Each rank-up increases the maximum enemy level in the Simulacrum by 5 (starting from 30 for [MR0]).
• Each rank-up for Legendary Ranks awards a Legendary Core.
• Each rank-up awards a Mastery Slate Orbiter Decoration.
• The Mastery Sigil changes in aesthetic design every 3 ranks; as Sigil color is defined by the player; having a bronze, silver, or gold mastery rank does not affect the available Sigil colors in any way. Players have no way of reverting the cosmetic Sigil back to previous designs if they complete the next bronze Mastery Rank test.
• The number of Extractors a player can deploy is Mastery Rank dependent, starting at one and increasing by one with Mastery Ranks 5 and 10; with Founders and/or Prime Access status granting an additional drone each.

• Accompanying other players who have access to certain Boss nodes can allow crafting Saryn,Equinox,Loki,Trinity,Mesa, andAtlas before fulfilling Junction requirements.

Notes

• Minimum Mastery Rank requirement only applies to trading and crafting from a blueprint; if the equipment can be placed into one’s Arsenal (such as through Prime Access, as a quest or event reward, ready-to-claim Foundry items most notably Kuva and Tenet weapons, etc.), it will bypass the lock. For example, Broken War cannot be crafted until Rank 10, but any player who completes The Second Dream will be awarded a crafted weapon regardless of their rank.
• Stalker can appear during the Mastery Rank Tests.[1]
• Paracesis’s, Kuva Lich Weapons, Tenet Weapons, and Necramechs maximum rank increases by 2 every time it’s polarized, up to 40 at 5 polarizations. These 10 extra ranks will grant Mastery Points like normal.
• Resources dropped during the test seem to be identical to those dropped in the Void.[2]
• Current Mastery Points rewarded for Star Chart completion has been reduced from 14,627 to 14,579. The cause or intention for this change is currently unknown.[citation needed]

Bugs

• Failing a practice test will still increase “Missions failed” stat in Player’s profile.

Trivia

• If a player reaches a Mastery Rank that the developers haven’t developed a unique Mastery Rank test for it, the game will reuse the previous Mastery Rank’s test.
• Prior to Hotfix 27.3.6 (2020-03-31)[citation needed], Mastery Rank 30 was called “Grand Master”.

FORMA MASTERY RANK CHANGES

When we first introduced Forma years ago, Warframe was a much smaller game. We had fewer weapons, fewer Warframes, and way fewer Mods. As players continue their Forma journey, there’s often discussions on doing a Quality of Life (QOL) pass to the way things work with our favourite Golden Puzzle Piece.

We want your Mastery Rank to be considered when using Forma to establish a baseline power level for your playable characters!

What does that mean?

If a Mastery Rank 30 player uses a Forma, they won’t have to re-unlock any Abilities (or their Ranks) on a given item! Yes, they’ll still need to level the gear itself to apply another Forma but, depending on your Mastery Rank, you can have access to more (or all) Abilities on your unranked gear! This achieves our goal of keeping Forma essential to build customization, but allowing players with higher Mastery Ranks a more convenient experience.

Right now, using a Forma on a Warframe (or Archwing/Necramech) requires you to start from 0 when it comes to Abilities you can use. Furthermore, you only get the first Rank of your First ability. Take Valkyr for instance. You install a Forma, and you’re back to only casting unranked Rip Line!

Our change will make it so your Mastery Rank impacts how much you have unlocked by default on Forma use. Following our Valkyr example, with this change, a Mastery Rank 10 player would have all of her abilities unlocked upon applying a Forma to her, albeit not at their full strength!

This ranking process is something players already experience in game – you know by the time you’ve levelled your Valkyr on Hydron to 10, you unlock Hysteria. We are making your Mastery Rank ‘match’ those milestones, so to speak, with the end goal being a Mastery Rank 30 player can use Forma without ever having to be locked out of Abilities. Simply put, the higher your Mastery Rank, the higher the baseline of your gear when using Forma.

• New additions since the Dev Workshop:

Post Dev Workshop feedback and continued conversations have added on another related change to reaching Mastery Rank 30+:

Sorties and Arbitrations now allow Mastery Rank 30+ players that have put at least 1 Forma into their Warframe to bypass the “Rank 30 Warframe” requirement.

FIXES:

• Fixed incorrect Legendary Core icon in the Legendary 1 Mastery Test screen.

Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)

• Players under Mastery Rank 2 will no longer see the ‘Update History’ messages upon login, as this information may be overwhelming as they begin their Warframe journey.
• Fixed an issue where playing as Khora in the Mastery Rank 13 will result in no enemies spawning.
• Fixed the Mastery Rank Up UI mentioning “Daily Focus Limit” before players have unlocked Focus.
• Fixed an issue related to Mastery Rank 24 test: this test provides you a non-upgraded, default amp and removes any arcanes. If the player died and respawned, they would have their personal, upgraded amp and any arcanes equipped available to use in the test, making the test easier than intended. Respawning no longer brings the player’s amp and arcanes into the test.

Hotfix 30.5.4 (2021-07-17)

• Fixed “Available Sessions” window showing Legendary Rank 1 players as MR31.
• Fixed Hovering over a player that is Mastery Rank Legendary 1 in the Trade screen stating Mastery Rank 31.

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

• Legendary Rank 1 is now available for eligible Tenno thanks to the new Warframe Yareli and the abundance of weapons in this Update!
  • Mastery Ranks beyond 30 are considered/titled as “Legendary 1”, “Legendary 2”, etc.
• Fixed Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead clones counting as enemies killed in the Mastery Rank 30 test.

Update 30.3 (2021-05-25)

• Increased the Daily Standing cap you get before including Mastery, slightly reduced the amount you get from Mastery. All players before MR 30 will have a higher Daily Standing cap than they used to, while players at MR 30 will have the same cap as before.
  • In addition to giving more room for Tenno to get to that final rank with their Syndicates, this will ultimately help reduce the time new players spend ranking up with their chosen Syndicates. Previously, if you were Mastery Rank 10, you would have a daily Standing cap of 16,000. Now, with the changes we’ve made, your daily Standing cap for MR 10 is 21,000.
• Fixed missing teleport volume in the Mastery Rank 15 Test causing players to fall out of the level.

Hotfix 29.10.1 (2021-03-19)

• Fixed Mastery test rejecting your rankup request due to refunded Intrinsic points not being accounted for properly.
• Fixed enemies in Mastery Tests spawning with random unintended levels.

Hotfix 29.6.8 (2021-01-25)

• Fixed typo in the Mastery Rank Inbox message.

Update 29.6 (2020-12-18)

• A Mastery Rank requirements popup will now show when trying to purchase a weapon you’re not eligible for yet.

Hotfix 29.5.3 (2020-11-23)

• Separated Kitguns from the Primary/Secondary weapons in the Mastery breakdown into its own category.
  • Kitguns moved from Secondary to Primary in Mastery breakdown in Deimos: Arcana — since this might cause some confusion we decided to just have Kitgun Weapons in the Mastery breakdown. This also makes it clear you don’t double dip!

Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)

• Mastery Slates have been added as rewards to each Mastery Rank Test! Upon login of Deimos: Arcana, you will receive an Inbox with each Mastery Slate you have earned thus far! Time to spice up that fresh looking Orbiter!
• Changed the Mastery Rank Challenge Icons to the new design that was released in Heart of Deimos: Nezha Prime: 29.3.0.

Update 29.3 (2020-10-27)

Mastery Rank 30 is now available for eligible Tenno!

Hotfix 29.2.2 (2020-10-06)

• Fixed a script error when reaching a new Mastery Rank.

Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)

You will also now have access to a larger Daily Standing Cap at each Mastery Rank than in the previous system! This will take effect next Daily Reset.
