Masters are 5 special NPCs that offer the player missions inside a map or storyline area (Wraeclast).
4 of them can randomly spawn in Wraeclast and map, while the last one, Commander Kirac (who replaced Zana, herself was able to spawn in map), only able to find in hideout.
Each master offers unique mechanics and rewards to reap. In exchange for completing these missions, players can unlock crafting recipes on the crafting bench. You can also acquire hideout decorations for your hideout from them.
Overview
Masters must be encountered in the wild before they start appearing in various towns in Wraeclast.

Niko, Master of the Depths | Act 4 | Find caches of Voltaxic Sulphite in the area; Sulphite is used for delves in the Azurite Mine | Access to the Mine Encampment, loot from Azurite Mines, including fossils and resonators |

Commander Kirac | Epilogue | Choose a map and complete the task assigned to it | Atlas completion, additional Extra Content encounters |
Missions
Masters can be encountered in most zones, where they will offer a mission. If not spending accumulated master mission from map device, there is a chance a random Master (except Kirac) will spawn in the "wild".
Atlas Mission
Each day five new master missions (1 for each master) at will be added to the player's accumulation[1] after the reset at 0:00am (GMT+0) based on the tier (white, yellow, red) of the player's last completed map. The map must be completed the day before in their own map device. Completing party-play maps from other players map devices does not count. Completing blighted maps do count.
There is 35% chance (on average 7% per master) to have additional master mission from completing the map.
You can use Atlas Missions (option can be found by talking to the master or on the Map Device directly) to guarantee a master spawns in your next non-unique map. Your Atlas Mission counters are tracked for each set of map tier colours: white, yellow, and red; which one you receive is the same as the tier colour of the map you received it in. Your accumulated number of Atlas Missions can be seen in the Atlas layout screen. There is no limit to how many Atlas Missions you can store. You can redeem an Atlas mission by speaking to a master then running the map from that screen, or clicking the master of choice in the map device.[2]
Strategy
When attempting to maximize the number of master encounters, either generally, or for a specific master:
- Favourite and run short maps (like City Square Map or Mesa Map) to gain master missions. Efficiency increases with Atlas tree notables.
- Use Prime and Awakened Sextants for chance to roll "Area contains Alva/Einhar/Jun/Niko".
- Use Bestiary and Sulphite Scarabs on maps to trigger Einhar and Niko, respectively.
- Run maps without other sources of master missions, to have a 10% chance of triggering a random master. This works out to 2.5% per master, so this is only a very slight boost.
- Certain harvest crafts will allow exchanging a map for atlas missions of the same colour.
Strategy
Holding control and left clicking on a master will give a shortcut to options specific to each master. This may save time and/or clicks for some players.
