To reach the Master 3 rank in Sword x Staff and trigger its combat power boost, push your character to Level 150 using main quests and high-yield experience dungeons, then execute the rank promotion using saved upgrade materials.
Reaching Level 150 and Unlocking Master 3
Hitting Level 150 is the core prerequisite for promoting to Master 3 rank. This unlock provides immediate base stat increases, percentage-based stat modifiers, and access to previously gated skills and high-tier equipment.
To reach the level threshold efficiently:
- Spend Daily Stamina on Core Content: Direct daily stamina toward main story quests and high-yield experience dungeons to avoid slowing down in the mid-140s level range.
- Invest in the Master 3 Skill Tree: Upon hitting Level 150 and completing the promotion, funnel accumulated skill resources straight into the Master 3 tree to activate its percentage stat modifiers.
- Equip Higher-Tier Gear: Transition into higher equipment tiers as soon as the level gate drops to stabilize your stats for endgame PvE and competitive play.
Redeeming Active Gift Codes
Free-to-play progression relies on external resource redemption to maintain momentum during the level push.
- Code:
AETHYRIS - Stated Expiration: Listed in promotional materials as valid through September 22.
- How to Redeem: Open the in-game settings menu, navigate to the redemption tab, and enter the code string exactly as capitalized.
- Reward Application: Apply the resulting materials, gold, or summoning items directly toward gear enhancement and character level milestone targets.
Preparing for the Master 3 Rank Transition
Promoting to Master 3 requires specialized materials alongside the Level 150 requirement. Delaying the rank unlock after hitting Level 150 causes wasted experience gains that could otherwise contribute to post-unlock scaling.
| Progression Phase | Target Objective | Key Action |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-150 Preparation | Hoard Essences & Shards | Stockpile upgrade materials so the promotion activates immediately upon hitting Level 150. |
| Rank Promotion | Unlock Master 3 | Complete the rank transition in the character menu to open advanced skill trees. |
| Post-150 Scaling | Balanced Gear Investment | Spread gold and upgrade items evenly across top-tier equipment rather than maximizing a single slot. |
If you run out of upgrade resources after promoting, farm the highest unlocked dungeon tiers. This yields the necessary skill components while continuously generating character experience.
