Ok here is a summary of everything I have found from beta and in the game live so far about the Creature Mastery. I will start with dispelling the rumors (false hoods), and then I will give the facts of what is real. I would like help to identify the locations, rewards and any additional information about these quests. I posted a thread to gather this information for those that have the knowledge to help out...
Rumors/ Falsehoods
Creature Mastery is tied to learning a creatures language
Not true. Those are separate quests that are either bought or looted from drops of creatures in certain zones.
Creature Mastery is tied to special attacks against those kinds of creatures
Not true. Those are gained at certain levels as you advance in your adventure classes. Such as Orc and Gnoll at level 12
Creature Mastery is tied to Hunter and Slayer Titles that are worn
Not true. Those titles are gain by the number of a certain kind of creature that you have slain. Hunter of “what ever” is given at 500 kills and Slayer of “what ever” are given at 5000 kills.
Truths/ Facts
Rewards for finishing the Mastery Quests
The first is a Book of the lore of that kind of creature that you can place in your house to fill up bookshelves.
The second is a weapon that you can place on your walls for all to see.
The third is experience for finishing the quest.
Rewards are given as soon as you complete the quest. So insure that you have 2 slots of free inventory space if you are close to finishing it.
Creature Mastery drops
Once you have obtained a Book from its location, and have examined it, you will have to gather certain parts of those creatures. All books are No-Drop and can not be traded. Some drop and can be traded or sold on the Market. Some parts are auto loot items that come as you kill that kind of creature. The drop rate of any of the items is random and rare loot. There is no set limit that you need to kill. There are those that are luck that have finished a creature mastery in as little kills at 10, and there are those that have killed well over 1000 of a creature and still have not gotten all the parts to finish the quest.
