25 Star Update

Part 1: Level 1 to Level 10

I will only be showing the craftable items that have easy materials to obtain and the item that is recommended for that level of Accessory Crafting. Just as a rule through these levels, you should stick to crafting rings as they are the cheapest and most efficient in terms of a Materials : Mastery Ratio.

Part 2: Level 10 to Master Craftsmen
Required Mastery: 45,000
Note (Important):
Up to this point of the Accessory Crafting process, items would deteriorate gradually as you became a higher level than a crafted item’s required level. This number is shown on any given item in a bar above the materials under the abbreviation “Rec. Lv.” Now that you have reached Level 10, any item that has a Rec. Lv. of 7 or below will not give any Mastery and only take 5 Fatigue.
Another change that has been made in the transition from Level 9 to Level 10 is that there is a timer which has been placed on the crafting system. Everytime you craft an item, you will have to wait 15 minutes to craft another of the same item. To clarify, the timer only applies to the specific item that you crafted, and not other, different items.
Finally, and Most Importantly, there has been a special requirement put in place for maintaining your Mastery in Level 10. This requirement is that you must craft at least one item every 17-18 hours from your last craft. If you do not do this, you will lose the Mastery you have in massive chunks, and may be absolutely devastating to your materials if you are not careful.
Mastery Scaling for Level 10:
Rec. Lv. < 8: 0 Mastery | 5 Fatigue
Rec. Lv. 8: 512 Mastery | 5 – 10 Fatigue
Rec. Lv. 9: 900 Mastery | 5 – 10 Fatigue
Rec. Lv. 10: 3700 Mastery | 5 – 10 Fatigue
*These values do change for some items
Side-Note:
Items that have a Level Requirement of 10 are different from other items because they only consist of recipe-required items. This also means that they are extremely difficult and unreasonable to craft as a way of leveling to Master Craftsmen, and why it is in your best interest to mass produce items with a Level Requirement of 9.

Part 3: Master Craftsmen to Meister
Required Mastery: 160,000
Note:
Congratulations, you have hit Master Craftsmen. From here until Meister is fairly easy compared to Level 10 to Master. You will mainly be focusing on making the Gray Class Meister Symbols, which you can find under the Face Accessory tab in your profession window.
Rules from leveling from Level 10 to Master still apply going to Meister, however, if you end up having 0 Mastery at Master Craftsmen and miss crafting for that day, you will drop down a level back to Level 10. This is easily resolved as you only need to craft one item and pay the fee to get back to Master, but if you continue to not craft items daily, you can drop all the way down to Level 10 with 0 Mastery.
Recommended Items to Craft:
- Gray Warrior/Magician/Archer/Thief/Pirate Meister Symbol
- Rec. Lv. [Master Craftsmen] | 5324 Mastery | 10 Fatigue
- Required Materials
- Gray Warrior/Magician/Archer/Thief/Pirate Symbol (x1)
- Emerald (x4)
- Intermediate Abrasive (x2)
- Intermediate Item Crystal (x8)
- Intermediate Item Crystals can be easily obtained by buying Level 70+ equips from the Armor Merchant In Leafre and extracting them in Ardentmill.
- Basic Spell Essence (x15)
- Superior Abrasive (x1)
- Superior Item Crystal (x20)
- Philosopher’s Stone (x3)
- Gray Warrior/Magician/Archer/Thief/Pirate Symbol (x1)
Part 4: Meister Crafting
Welcome to Meister Accessory Crafting!
First off, you may notice that your character has an effect following you around. This is the Meister Effect, and each profession has one. If you would like to disable or re-enable it, you can open up the Profession Tab with the Key Bind and toggle it on and off there.
How to Maintain Meister:
(WIP)
As a Meister, you are able to craft any item that you want so long as it does not require a recipe. The main reason that people get to Meister Accessory Crafting for is the Meister Ring and Meister Earring.
Meister Ring:
- Rec. Lv. [Meister] | 8640 Mastery | 100 Fatigue
- Success: 100% | Premium: 20%
- Required Materials
- Twisted Time (x800)
- Superior Abrasive (x50)
- Mana Crystal (x100)
- Philosopher’s Stone (x35)
- Primal Essence (x1)
- Grand Spell Essence (x150)
- Required Materials
Reason to Craft:
The Meister Ring is considered a BiS (Best in Slot) item and most definitely a more end game item because of the sheer effort it takes to craft one. This item became BiS after the 25 Star Update, and because the ring is Level 140, it is able to get all 25 stars. Having a clean ring may not help, but it is definitely better to have it to star in the future than not having one at all.
The second reason is not required for end-game, but it is basically 100% necessary in terms of practicality. You are able to craft a second Meister Ring and star this second ring all the way up to 22 stars. Then you are able to transfer the ring onto a Superior Gollux Ring to get it automatically to 21 stars. Keep in mind that this will override the potential on the Gollux Ring, but if you have the money/mesos in your respective server, having the 21 stars and working up to get your potential back is more than worth it. Also, flames transfer from the old equipment onto the new equipment, and Nexon had confirmed that Gollux equips would not get the same Boss bonus that CRA, Absolab, and Arcane equips would get. Surprisingly, Meister equips do get this bonus, so if you do plan to transfer, make sure you have the flames you want beforehand.
Meister Earrings:
- Rec. Lv. [Meister] | 8640 Mastery | 100 Fatigue
- Success: 100% | Premium: 20%
- Required Materials
- Twisted Time (x600)
- Superior Abrasive (x50)
- Mana Crystal (x100)
- Philosopher’s Stone (x35)
- Confusion Fragment (x10)
- Grand Spell Essence (x150)
- Required Materials
Reason to Craft:
The Meister Earring by itself is not very useful, but what it is used for is transposing into Sweetwater Earrings. Unlike Sweetwater equips obtained from killing bosses in voyages, the ones that you buy can be 25 stars even after transposing. The preferred earrings to transpose into Sweetwater Earrings are the Inverse Earrings from Kritias, but they cost 200 Kritias Commemorative Coins, or 200 Kritias Dailies/Invasions. The stat difference between transposing one opposed to the other is minimal, about 1 to 2 stat and Att/M.Att.
