Primers have three intensity levels: Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3, with three being the highest (best). You can do this even if you have not yet obtained a Book of Masteries. With the primer in your backpack, double-click to 'read' and consume the book.
Mastery Primers can be obtained from defeating any Champion Spawn, Scalis, or Charybdis. In order to set a skill as your mastery your character must first read a primer for that skill. You can only set it once every 15 minutes. Use a Contextual Menu on the Book of Masteries to open the menu to set your skill mastery. Bards can also obtain a book through the older spellsong quests. He tasks you with defeating a certain Peerless or Champion Spawn. To obtain a Book of Masteries complete the quest given by Hawkwind the Timelord near the Valley of Eodon moongate.
A special title is granted to each mastery which can be selected from the skills section of the Title Menu.
You need to obtain a Book of Masteries and the appropriate Mastery Primer for each skill. Each skill has three abilities that vary in three intensity tiers. Originally introduced in Publish 66 for bard skills, they were expanded to many other skills in the Ultima Online: Time of Legends expansion. Skill Mastery are special abilities available only to those who have trained above 90 in a skill.
