Becoming a Grandmaster

• To become a Grandmaster, speak to Lezarro and take on his challenges.
  • Your talent must be level 15 (Master) in order to accept his tasks.
• The grandmaster quest you wish to do does not require you to have that talent as your active one.
  • Similarly, you can have any active talent when becoming a Grandmaster.
• When one becomes a Grandmaster for the first and 20th time, a message is broadcast over the server of that person's accomplishment
• The newly acquired Grandmaster Talent will be automatically equipped.
• Resetting skills that bring the talent status out of Grandmaster will remove its effects, however re-ranking the skills will restore the Grandmaster status and its corresponding effect.

In order to be acknowledged as a Grandmaster, you will require the following:

• 10 Grandmaster seals of the talent, obtained by completing Lezarro's missions
• A Gold Grandmaster Certificate, sold by Lezarro for 1,000,000 Gold.
  • On Alban Heruin (Wednesdays), the 5% discount applies, making it 950,000 G.
  • Alternatively, a Brass Grandmaster Certificate may also be used, but they can only be handed in during night time.

Trivia

• Grandmaster missions used to require you to start them with your character's active talent to be the talent you are trying to grandmaster. This is no longer required since the NEXT: New Beast Update.
• Before the 2023 March Quality of Life Update, a message would be broadcasted when players reached their 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th Grandmaster talents. This was changed to only the 1st and 20th.
