Masters are five special NPCs who are allied with the player and offer special missions inside a map or storyline area (Wraeclast).
Four of them can have a chance to spawn in the acts or maps and are considered Extra Content, while the last one, Commander Kirac (sharing a similar role to former master Zana) can only be found in the epilogue town Karui Shores.
Each master offers unique mechanics and rewards to reap, and can be invited to your hideout to interact with. Additionally, the masters also have a related item known as a memory which provides further lore about each NPC.
Overview
Masters must be encountered in the wild before they start appearing in various towns in Wraeclast.
Master | Location | Overview | Rewards |
---|---|---|---|
Einhar, Beastmaster | Act 2 | Hunt beasts with Einhar; player must weaken yellow or red beasts to be captured by Einhar's net | Access to the Menagerie, Beastcrafting recipes and components, the Bestiary |
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 |
Alva, Master Explorer | Act 7 | Open incursions into the past; open doors and slay architects to improve the rewards in the Temple of Atzoatl | Extra monster spawns in areas, loot from the Temple of Atzoatl, chance for special corruptions |
Jun, Veiled Master | Act 9 | Dispatch members of the Immortal Syndicate; interrogate or negotiate with them to find its leader | Veiled items and Scarabs, veiled mod crafting recipes, loot & crafting from safehouses |
Commander Kirac | Epilogue | Choose a map and complete the task assigned to it | Atlas completion, purchasable special maps and additional Extra Content encounters |
Additionally, Sister Cassia (and formerly Tane Octavius) have their own quests in maps. However, they are not considered masters.
Mechanics
Other than Kirac, each master has a chance to be encountered in most story or map areas after reaching the point in the story where their missions are unlocked. Masters have an increased encounter rate in the acts[confirmation needed]. When spawned, they will offer a mission. More than one master can be encountered in the same area. The chance to meet a specific master can be modified through the Atlas Passive Tree.
Kirac instead has a chance to accumulate a master mission by clearing maps. These missions can be redeemed through the Map DeviceMap DeviceHideout ItemCreates an object in your hideout2 Variations, opening a special map for you from a selection.
Miscellaneous
Holding control and left-clicking on a master acts as shortcut to a master's relevant interface:
- Einhar: The Bestiary menu screen
- Niko: the Subterranean Chart screen
- Alva: the Temple of Atzoatl construction interface
- Jun: The "Unveil Items" interface
- Kirac: Kirac's vendor inventory (purchase)
- Sister Cassia: Anointing interface
