Mastery passive trees¶
Mastery passives unlock automatically at levels 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. They can be toggled from the Masteries tab and cost no aptitude points.
STR Mastery — unarmed combat and hand mining¶
| Level | Passive | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Iron Fists I | +1.5 flat unarmed damage and +0.2 knockback. |
| 10 | Ore Breaker I | Mine common natural ores by hand. |
| 15 | Ore Breaker II | Adds diamond and emerald ore. |
| 20 | Ancient Breaker | Adds ancient debris. |
| 25 | Iron Fists II | Replaces rank I with +3 flat damage and +0.35 knockback. |
| 30 | Titan Hands | +5 flat unarmed damage and faster ore breaking. |
Hand mining awards 0.1 STR Mastery EXP per eligible natural ore, up to ten mastery points per rolling hour. Player-placed ore grants neither progression nor an exploit path.
Approximate default break times:
| Ore class | Normal passive | Titan Hands |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1.00s | 0.75s |
| Precious | 0.85s | 0.70s |

Damage limits¶
STR Mastery reaches up to +30% unarmed scaling, plus unlocked fist passives, with the added STR contribution capped at +10 damage. Weapon and Range Mastery each reach +15% base scaling.
The combined Sol's Leveling damage bucket for Weapon and Range is capped by the smallest of the calculated bonus, 30% of the original hit, or 30 absolute damage. These limits preserve build identity without allowing compatibility stacks to grow without bound.
