Mastery System
Mastery is how you progress through districts. Each district has three tiers — Bronze, Silver, and Gold — each requiring you to complete all district missions a set number of times and awarding escalating rewards.
How It Works
- Complete all missions in a district once → Bronze mastery
- Complete all missions again → Silver mastery
- Complete all missions a third time → Gold mastery
Each tier completion immediately awards:
- A set of items (shown in the district’s mastery reward table)
- A bonus money payment
- A bonus XP payment
- 2 Honor Points for Gold tier only
Unlocking the Next District
Districts unlock when you achieve Bronze mastery in the previous district and reach the required level:
| District | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|
| Ashikawa Village | Level 1 (starting district) |
| Sapporo | Bronze in Ashikawa Village + Level 4 |
| Aomori | Bronze in Sapporo + Level 7 |
| Edo | Bronze in Aomori + Level 10 |
| Kyoto | Bronze in Edo + Level 14 |
| Osaka | Bronze in Kyoto + Level 19 |
| Ryukyu Islands | Bronze in Osaka + Level 24 |
| Shadow Realm | Bronze in Ryukyu Islands + Level 29 |
You can run missions in any previously-unlocked district at any time — useful for farming items or grinding mastery completions.
Mastery Rewards
Each district’s mastery reward page lists the specific items awarded at each tier. Generally:
- Bronze rewards introduce 2–3 of the new district’s key items
- Silver rewards more of the same items with larger quantities
- Gold rewards the highest quantities and any bonus cash/XP
See individual district pages for exact reward tables.
Tips
- Silver and Gold mastery are optional — you only need Bronze to unlock the next district. However, the item rewards from Silver/Gold are often required for later missions.
- Chaos Storm (needed for Shadow Realm missions) drops only from Shadow Realm mastery — you must run mastery tiers within Shadow Realm to get enough copies.
- Shadow Seals appear in Ryukyu Islands mastery rewards and are consumed by multiple Shadow Realm missions. Complete Ryukyu mastery tiers before pushing into Shadow Realm.
- Mastery resets your mission completion count for that district — you cannot bank partial progress across tiers.
