# Mastery
## **Gaia System**
Every profession you practise levels up on its own. Gaia adjusts your mastery as you complete tasks, reflecting how skilled you are in each domain. Open your masteries from the main menu: **Adventurer's Mastery**.
{% hint style="info" %}
Skills are now called **Mastery** everywhere, and Skill Points are now called **Knowledge Points**. **Power** in `/menu` is the average of all your masteries.
{% endhint %}
## What every level gives
| Level | Reward |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Every level | **+1** to that mastery's stat |
| Every 5th level | A **milestone** |
| Every 25th level | A **grand milestone** |
Attribute points come from the milestones. Levels are grouped into **bands of five**, and each tile shows exactly what it rewards. The level track shows 20 levels per page, so a 200-level mastery fits on 2 pages.
Station recipes are gated by mastery level, and crafting at a station gives XP in that station's mastery.
