✨ RAPPELZ MASTER CLASS QUESTLINE GUIDE – MEISTERKLASSENQUEST (JOB LEVEL 80+)
The Master Class questline (Meisterklassenquest) is the final job advancement in Rappelz, taking you from Advanced Class (Job Level 80) to Master Class. This unlocks powerful new skills, increases your stat bonuses, and grants access to Talent Points and Project 150. This guide provides a complete walkthrough of the Master Trials, including the five challenges: defeating elite monsters, collecting rare drops, completing a Tower floor, and defeating your own Shadow Clone.
| Stage | Trial Name / Objective | NPC / Location | Key Tasks & Mechanics | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trial 1 Trial of Might | Master Trainer – Rondo (near guild hall) | Defeat 200 elite monsters in any level 100+ zone (Crystal Valley, Palmir, or Navis Lamia). The monsters must be at least level 100. You can do this in a party. | “Trial Seal – Might” (quest item) |
| 2 | Trial 2 Trial of Endurance | Master Trainer – Rondo (after completing Trial 1) | Collect 10 Rare Monster Essences (drop from mini‑bosses in dungeons such as Cubric, Hidden Village, or Temple of Lost Souls). These essences have a low drop rate (approx. 10–20%). Farm with a party. | “Trial Seal – Endurance” |
| 3 | Trial 3 Trial of Wisdom | Master Trainer – Rondo | Complete one floor of the “Tower of Heroes” (located in Rondo, entrance near the fountain). You must clear a floor solo (no party). The difficulty scales with your level. Recommended for levels 150–160. | “Trial Seal – Wisdom” |
| 4 | Trial 4 Trial of the Shadow | Shadow Altar – accessed via Master Trainer | Enter the solo instance and defeat your own Shadow Clone. The clone copies your stats, skills, and equipment. It uses your exact abilities – you must outsmart it. The clone cannot use potions; you can. Use consumables liberally and interrupt its key skills. | “Trial Seal – Shadow” |
| 5 | Trial 5 Trial of the Master | Master Trainer – Rondo (after collecting all 4 Seals) | Combine the four Trial Seals into the “Master’s Emblem”. Return to the Master Trainer to complete the questline. | Master Class unlocked, 5 Talent Points, new Master skills, “Master” title, access to Project 150 |
👥 SHADOW CLONE – TRIAL 4 (Trial of the Shadow)
The Shadow Clone is widely considered the hardest part of the Master Class questline. It copies your exact stats, skills, and gear, but it cannot use potions or inventory items. Here’s how to beat it:
- Before entering: Remove unnecessary gear? Not recommended – the clone copies you, so weaker gear gives a weaker clone, but you also become weaker. Instead, stock up on potions (HP, MP, Stamina) and buff scrolls. Use temporary buffs (e.g., “Deva’s Blessing”, “Marble Candy”) before entering – the clone does not copy these temporary effects.
- During the fight: The clone will open with your strongest ability. Use your defensive cooldowns immediately. Interrupt the clone’s casts whenever possible.
- Heal often: The clone cannot heal. Outlast it. Use potions on cooldown.
- Kite and CC: If you have crowd control (stuns, slows), use them to reduce the clone’s damage output. Move constantly to avoid being hit.
- Class-specific tips: Tanks: Use heavy armour and block. Healers: Out‑heal the clone’s damage until it runs out of mana. DPS: Burst the clone down while rotating defensive cooldowns.
💡 If you fail, you can re‑enter the instance after a short cooldown (5 minutes). The clone respawns with full HP.
🔓 WHAT MASTER CLASS UNLOCKS
- New skill tree: Master Class skills (often 3–5 new active and passive abilities).
- 5 Talent Points (TP): Immediately awarded, can be spent in the Talent Point trees (Combat, Magic, Support).
- Access to Project 150: Allows you to raise Job Level beyond 80 up to 150.
- New class title: Your class name changes (e.g., Knight → Templar, Assassin → Slayer, Priest → Cardinal).
- Increased stat growth per Job Level: Each Master Job Level gives more stats than Advanced Class.
💡 After unlocking Master Class, visit the “Master Class Skill Trainer” in Rondo to learn your new abilities. You will also receive a skill point reset scroll to reallocate your skill points.
🗺️ FARMING RARE MONSTER ESSENCES (TRIAL 2)
| Dungeon / Zone | Mini‑Boss | Drop Rate (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cubric Dungeon | Cubric Guardian | 15–20% | Quick respawn (10 min). Can be farmed solo. |
| Hidden Village | Shadow Assassin | 10–15% | Requires party to reach boss; longer run. |
| Temple of Lost Souls | Soul Reaper | 10–12% | Slow respawn; contested. |
💡 Cubric is the most efficient. Bring a high single‑target DPS class and farm the first mini‑boss repeatedly. Essences are tradeable – you can also buy them from the Auction House to save time.
