It would be really great if lifeskillers were able to get a "Jackpot" type loot item. Much like the later grind zones, reward the life skillers that have the top end of mastery (I do not, but I also don't feel that upgrading much past 2000 breakpoint is worth the investment) with the chance to drop Vedure Life Crystals, BON Dawn or even JIN Dawn - Life EXP crystals at a very rare drop chance. Make it like dropping the Dusky crystals or pigments in Edania. Currently it just seems like you go to get your "minimum mastery" most often 2000+ then you just check in for your minimum wage job and make the same amount no matter how long you do it. I feel like there would be less burn out if there were potentials to have that "big hit".  

Here is my suggestion for life skill mastery bonus for all life skills

0-2000 Mastery stays as is

2000-2300 Ability to drop  WON Dawn - Life EXP at a rare rate

2301-2500 Ability to drop  WON Dawn - Life EXP, Forest Crystal at a rare rate with a more common chance to drop Sealed BMC's

2501-2800 Ability to drop  WON Dawn - Life EXP, Forest Crystal, and BON Dawn - EXP  at a rare rate, with a more common chance to drop Sealed BMC's

2801+ Ability to drop  WON Dawn - Life EXP, Forest Crystal, BON Dawn - EXP, Verdure Life Crystals,  and JIN Dawn - Life EXP at a rare rate, with a more common chance to drop Sealed BMC's

PS. This probably shouldn't work for anything that isn't an ACTIVE lifeskill.  Fishing shouldn't have these type of gains.

This type of setup would more closely mirror the PVE grinding setup and for people who exclusivley enjoy life skilling bring things back to a even playing field.  It feels pretty bad life skilling when your friends are making 3-6+ bil an hour grinding consistently.  Also if those same friends went from 375 AP to 390 AP but the silver per hour gains were miniscule/non-negligable why would they even try.  Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

I'm for anything to make life skilling more profitable. Right now, I mostly gather, and I gather a LOT. I feel like thos WON crystals hardly drop. I'm glad I got my JINs made from prepping a bunch of +4 silver-lined clothes before the release of the crystals. I feel bad for anyone who didn't cause either they are going to have to buy what they need from the market or spend a tonsof time and energy to get the WONs.

Yeah, lifeskillers deserve a top tier for levels and rewards. 

Make it happen PA. 

We are already at a point where with buffs and max gear, lifeskillers get past 4k mastery. There is no point balancing towards already outdated numbers.

I would like PA to increase the mastery cap up to 5k (and also add mastery reward for past G50).

Let the sheer amount of mastery brackets you get be the "extra" reward for endgame lifeskillers.

Just want to say to anyone from the BDO team that may have saw this and added BON's to the drop pool, thank you!  Not saying it was because of this but it feels good today!

BONS are dropped now!? WOOHOO! What were you doing? Gathering or Hunting?

3 hours at Elephants and Corals this morning.

What a waste of my time.

I can grind Crabs, Wolves, and Trolls in the same amount of time, for more loot.
