Did these get removed recently? I can’t seem to get the game to show them as a team bonus anymore. For those who forgot about them / don’t know what they are: Maester of Water Gain +25 Water Mastery for having 4 unique blue troops. Maester of Nature Gain +25 Nature Mastery for having 4 unique green troops. Maester of Fire Gain +25 Fire Mastery for having 4 unique red troops. Maester of Air Gain +25 Air Mastery for having 4 unique yellow troops. Maester of Magic Gain +25 Magic Mastery for having 4 unique purple troops. Maester of Earth Gain +25 Earth Mastery for having 4 unique brown troops. ---

I still see them. What team are you trying to make? ---

While it’s not this exact team (I’m playing around with options for the third slot) this should still give a Maester bonus I thought? Or does it HAVE to be Mono coloured? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/2/2fc769ad59053ed71ebe3bd9a09d42a2007a19ab.jpg) ---

The have to be unique. No two of the same. ---

I’m still curious why the masteries have a “1” on them. It almost seems as if they were planning on making 3x of the same color to also give a bonus. ---

I never noticed that before… ehmm… what exactly is a “maester”? oO Is this on purpose? ---

Either it’s taken from the word Maestro (eg a conductor/distinguished musician). Or according to Google it might be a Game of Thrones reference (I don’t watch it, so I can’t verify if it fits or not) ---

Maester is an old English spelling of Master, generally when used in reference to the academic… Or arcane. 😉 In GoT the highly academic individuals that train and then whisper in the ears of Kings are referred to as Masters. FYI. ---

The funny thing about GoT Maesters is that they were partly responsible for ridding the world of magic, killing the dragons, etc. Not really patrons of that particular art. ---

GoT = Game of Thrones And while we are asking what does 10chars mean? I have seen it all over the forums but can not figure it out from context? ---
