The # of cm's u can buy depends on ur lvl. It's determined by muliplying 25 by the lvl of ur character. For instance, at lvl 25 u can only have spent a total of 625 cm points overall. At lvl 60 it tops out at 1500. However, the more u spend, the more xp it takes to get one point. By the time u spend like 1000 cm points, they take a very long time to get just one point. I once knew a guy that had around 1000 cm points spent and it took him 4 hours to get 1 cm point, and that's when he had %100 of his xp going to cm's. The best thing to do, if you wanna know about the class mastery system, is to buy Prima's Official Strategy Guide for Frontiers. In it, it lists all of the cm's you can buy along with what the minimum requirements are to unlock each one. Hope all this helps!!!!

The Cm cap is 1500....But you have to be a certain level or have a certain base in stats or both to be able to acquire some....for example I had to be level 25 on my Shadowknight for some more options to become available to me...And some I needed to have atleast 100 base (not overall with armor) in stamina or whatever stat I was trying to get...so it varies....

www.Hodstock.com has a cm walkthrough and you can also find out what is available to your specific race/class...You can indeed buy all 1500 cms...but I dont think anyone has yet...More than likely you will spend something like 1000 or so on cms....because the cost per cm goes up every 50 or so cms you buy....and so by 800 or so it takes a lot of xp to get just one cm...hope this helps..

Just a little note for you all, the Prima Guide, otherwise known as the "phone book", is pretty informative, however there are supposedly quite a few mistakes in it. A big that I just found in the area of this thread is in the listings of the class masteries for enchanter.

If you look up the requirements for the class mastery of Animator, it will tell you that Entrancing Charm is the requirement. Animator gives you a powerful pet, as in casted pet, not charmed. The Entrancing Charm line (1-4) lenghtens the time a charm will last on a npc that you charm.

If you look up the requirements for the class astery of Spellbinder, it will tell you that Animation Adept is the requirement. Spellbinder gives you either a permanent charm (what I've read) or a lenghtened charm (what I've heard), but the master of Animation Adept allows you to improve pets (casted).

Well to me this sounded backwards, I did some checking on other web sites and found information to be the exact opposite from what the Prima guide says. Not being sure which source to believe I found a level 60 enchanter in Highpass today (Frisko, TYVM). He confirmed my belief, the Prima guide is wrong! He has taken the spellbinder path, and as a requirement, he had to buy the whole line of Entrancing Charm.

While I was asking around, before I found Frisko (whose information, I will take for being correct, I asked a level 40 something enchanter if he knew. He told me that he was not sure but thought I was probably correct in not believing the Prima guide, and, uh-oh, told me he had heard the same about some of the CM info about warriors in the Prima guide. This could be a problem for me, as I have already spend quite a few cm's on my war in the line of what I want to do with him mastery wise.

I just wanted to let you all know that the Prima guide does seem to be a very usefull tool, I often hear, and now, apparently have found that there are at least some inaccuracies in it. Two more points, not that this is a big deal, but I have read points on this thread that have conflicted with what I have read on the official web site. Again not that this is a big deal, but from what I've read the amount of xp's increases from every single point, not every five or ten. Hence the second cm point is harder than the first, the third harder than the second... Last point I wanted to make, and this one is kind of important. You can erase cm's at any point, but you do not get the points back, you have to earn them again. This can be huge, in that lets say you have earned 15 points and bought three different masteries at 5 points each. You can delete one, but now you have to start earning points again at the difficulty level of the 11th point. Not so bad. Here's the problem, lets say your uber now (can we say I am too, maybe while I'm sleeping) and you've earned 1500 cm's and you realize you screwed up. So you delete a mastery which costs whatever, 25 points, well now you have to start earning those points back, starting with the 1476th point, which will be in the millions and millions of xp's to earn one point.

I hope I explained that in a way that everyone can understand, LOL, I know what I meant, just not sure if it went from my head to the keyboard in an understandable way. If you have any questions about what I've stated leave them here, or if you think I'm wrong please tell me that too, and I'll recheck what I've read, but I believe all this to be accurate and I hope helpful.

You are right Hum the points do scale with each cm....sorry I didnt go into it more clearly...but you can see the difference more between larger jumps...say after 50 you start noticing it takes a little longer...but yes it does scale with each point being the second is harder than the first and the third is harder than the second...lol

but yeah I am glad I didnt go with the proma guide...I dont even own it although I do think about getting it....I only have the websites and the information in that tiny little book that they gave with the disk...

Man..you should try using that to to find coaches..LOL I was sooooo lost before I found the ones on this site...that was awhile ago but being a noob at that time I figured using the map in the booklet should do ...WRONG!!!! lol

Anyways yes as an enchanter it is animation adept spells for the animator and entrancing charm for the spellbinder....it does make more sense that way..lol I found my info on www.hodstock.com...I love those guys for making it!! yay!!! good to see you around Hum =0)
