Weapon Mastery in Throne and Liberty is a rather hot topic and for good reason. As you keep weapons and improve their efficiency, it allows you to get better at that weapon.

For this reason, understanding Weapon Mastery in Throne and Liberty and knowing how to go about it is very important; not just for newcomers to the genre, but for those who want to min-max their builds.
