The Bending Mastery Paths System is designed to immerse roleplayers in a dynamic progression model tailored for each bending element and its variants. By mastering elements through dedicated paths, players can unlock unique techniques, hone their specialties, and differentiate their bending style from others. The mastery system uses Mastery Points (MP), earned through roleplay engagement, quests, and challenges. Each path offers a distinct journey of growth, reflecting the element’s unique cultural, combat, and utility aspects.
Advancement in the system requires completing key milestones such as quests and investing mastery points to unlock abilities within specific tiers. Paths signify specializations, while Masteries offer powerful standalone abilities to augment bending capabilities.
Path Progression: Each path is divided into five tiers, each offering a unique upgrade upon reaching it. Players must complete quests to progress. Advancing through tiers typically requires.
Tier I: Completion of 2 B-rank Quests
Tier II: Completion of 2 A-rank Quests
Tier III: Completion of 3 S-rank Quests
