The Do path perform the service known as the Weapon Master Brand. This brand is a mark bestowed as a symbol that represents a persons knowledge of the lore and raw ability of the numerous weapons throughout the Nexus. This mark does NOT neccessarily mean a person is a master of handling them, or a friend of the Do Path. To recieve the mark a person must approach a Do Master or the Elder and meet certain criteria. Once met the applicant is tested based on the feelings of the person they approach as everyone has a different system.

Below are the rules governing how one earns the Weapon Master Brand.


Many have inquired about the various ways to gain a Weapon Master Mark. There are 3 ways to prove yourself and show that you are worthy to bear the mark of "Weapon Master".

1. Take and pass a Weapon Master Test issued by a Do Master. To be tested in this fashion you must meet the following prerequisites...

  1. Be of the 99th insight ~~
    Because with experience comes knowledge.
  2. Been victorious in at least 10 Carnages/Bloodlusts/Do Masai ~~
    To show your knowledge of weapon use.
  3. Be at least Skilled Carpenter or Smith, or Grand Master Tailor ~~
    To show your knowledge of weapon crafting.

If you meet the requirments and believe you are prepared for the Test send a letter ((nmail)) to the Elder or one of the Guides ~~
((You can find a list of all current Master's and Elder on the community section of the Nexus main page http://www.nexustk.com))
((you may try whispering also to see if they are free))

If you should fail a test you may retest but only after waiting for a minimum of one month ((1 week RL or longer)) and to retake the test the first time you must offer one ogre weapon as a retesting fee. If you should fail the second test each retest after that you must offer a path weapon. (Spike, Surge, Blood, or Charm) There is no limit to the number of retests you may take.

2. There are Do Events held periodically in which the Weapon Master Mark can be awarded as a prize. These events usually deal strongly in Weapon Knowledge, Weapon Mechanics, or Weapon Origins. These contests are open to all levels and Paths with no prerequisites.

3. Someone can be granted the title of Weapon Master by making significant contribution toward weapon study in general, although it has to be a fairly original study to earn a mark. Only a few people have gained the Weapon Master Mark in this manner, but if it is done.. then there are not other requirements.. No Level.. No Crafting, No Weapon Test.

If you have an idea for a Weapon Study that you wish to pursue, please contact one of the Guides. They can tell you if you are on the right track.
