Training Points and Mastery

Training Points (TP) and mastery are the two things you grind in DragonMineZ. TP is the currency you spend on stats, skills, techniques and transformations; mastery measures how well you control each transformation. This page lists every way to earn both and how to stack your bonuses.

Training Points

TP is stored on your character. Every source below is run through your TP boosts before it is added. The amounts are the server defaults.

Ways to earn TP

Configured in: General Server Configgameplay

Source	How
Training minigames	Five minigames taught by masters: see Training minigames below.
Defeating enemies	Killing a mob or a player grants the per-hit TP plus 25% of the target's max health. A regular Shadow Dummy gives half.
Hitting enemies	Every hit of 1 or more damage you land grants 2 TP. The punch machine works the same way.
Your own Shadow Dummy	Kills and hits on a Shadow Dummy you summoned from the Minigames tab give +25% to +75% extra TP, matching the stat share you gave it.
Passive training	1 TP every 5 seconds just for playing.
Traveling	1 TP per 20 blocks moved.
Mining	1 TP per block broken, plus 25% of that per point of XP the block drops.
Crafting	1 TP per item crafted, multiplied by the item's rarity or tool and armor tier.
Story and side quests	Quests reward Attributes: half as Attribute Points, half as the TP those stat points cost you right now (see Stats and Attributes). Quest lists: Sagas.
World bosses, raids and tournaments	Lump sums for taking part (world bosses pay Attributes instead of TP): see World Bosses, Raids and Tournaments.
Wishes	Shenron's Power Boost grants x100 Attributes and Porunga's x75 (same split as quest Attributes).
Party sharing	Party members receive 50% of the TP you earn. Sharing needs you to know Instant Transmission: members must be in the same dimension and within its range (200 blocks per skill level). See `/dmzparty` on Commands.
Fusion	While fused, the partner receives half of the TP the leader earns. See Fusions.

When Dynamic Growth is enabled, combat TP (kills and hits) is also scaled by its own combat TP multiplier.

TP boosts

Configured in: General Server ConfigtpGainBoosts

The amount from every source is scaled by your active boosts, once. Boosts add up: each one adds its bonus on top of ×1.0. The TP half of an Attributes reward is already worked out from your stat cost, so it is not boosted again. Hover the TP Multiplier row of the Stats tab to see where each of your bonuses comes from.

Boost	Default
Class	Tank and Cleric ×1.25.
Racial skill	Frost Demon Prodigious Strength ×1.25.
Hyperbolic Time Chamber	×1.75 while inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Otherworld (dead)	×2.0 while you are dead in the Otherworld.
Gravity	Training under extra gravity: see Gravity and Gravity Device.
Weights	Training with the right weight load: see Weights.
Global	A server-wide multiplier (×1.0 by default).
Effects	TP Multiplier effect (+25% per level), Hero of the World (+25% for 10 minutes after winning a raid) and Kami's Blessing (×1.2 for 5 minutes, given by Dende to Good-aligned players, 30-minute cooldown). See Effects.
Mutant	×1.25 while you hold the Mutant effect.
Quest difficulty	Quest TP rewards and other lump sums (raids, tournaments, TP wishes) only: ×1.25 on Easy and on Hard. See Sagas.
Progression	Up to +75% as your stats get more expensive, reaching the full bonus at the stat cost of level 10,000, so late-game TP keeps pace with stat costs. Not applied to training minigames, which already scale with your stat cost.

Server owners choose which boosts apply to which source (story, passive, travel, mining, crafting, kills, hits and training).

Training minigames

Main article: Training Minigames

Five masters each teach one minigame:

Minigame	Master
Rhythm	Mr. Popo (inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber)
Ki Control	Krillin
Shadow Boxing	Gohan
Precision	Trunks
Gravity	Vegeta

Learning a game: play it from its master 3 times, reaching level 5 each time. Once learned, you can also play it any time from the Minigames tab of your Character Menu.
Rewards depend on how long you train, the level you reach and your grade, and scale with your current TP cost per stat point, so they stay worthwhile as you grow. There is no per-game TP cap by default. The server checks every run, so rewards can't be faked.
Mentor bonus: a game you already know, started from its master's menu, pays +25%.
Rhythm can also be played with music discs; finishing a disc's song with at least 75% accuracy "learns" it so you can replay it without the disc.
Old Kai's Ultimate Challenge chains every minigame into one run; clearing it with the right requirements unlocks the Ultimate form (see Old Kai and Transformations).

Best way to train

No single source is "the" answer: the fastest grind stacks a high-yield activity with every multiplier at once. In rough order of value:

Training minigames. The biggest deliberate TP source. Learn all five from their masters and rotate through them; start known games from the master's menu for the +25% mentor bonus.
Fight things that take a while to kill. Kill TP scales with the target's max health, and you also gain TP per hit, so a long fight with a tough enemy (or your own Shadow Dummy) beats farming weak mobs. This trains TP and mastery at the same time.
Passive and travel training, but multiplied. The trickle you get for playing, moving and mining is small at base, so only lean on it inside a multiplier: the Gravity Device (higher gravity means more TP), the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (×1.75 TP inside) and Weights.
Keep your boosts running the whole time. Everything above is multiplied by your class, your racial skill (Frost Demon ×1.25), a TP Multiplier effect and Kami's Blessing, so get blessed by Dende and pop a TP buff before a minigame or a gravity session, not after.
Quests, raids and wishes for lump sums. Story and side quests, world bosses and the Power Boost wish hand out Attributes (stat points plus TP that grows with your stat cost), and raids hand out big one-off TP: cheap progress that doesn't depend on the grind.

Fastest realistic loop Wear weights, train inside the Gravity Device or the Time Chamber with a TP Multiplier buff active, and break it up by running the master minigames and sparring a Shadow Dummy, which banks mastery alongside the TP.

Mastery

Configured in: Combat Config

Mastery (0–100%) is earned per transformation, only while that form is active. You raise a form's mastery by:

Source	Default gain
Dealing hits while transformed	+0.025% per hit, up to ×4 for heavy hits.
Taking hits while transformed	+0.025% per hit, up to ×4 for heavy hits.
Just staying transformed	+0.004% every 5 seconds (passive).
Mastery Capsule	+5% to your active form (see Capsules).
Quest rewards	Custom quests can grant a form at a set mastery (see Custom Quests).

Hit mastery only counts at 50% Power Release or more, and grows with the size of the hit: a hit up to 20% of the target's max health gives the base amount, rising to ×4 for a hit of 80% or more. Hits against some training targets (for example silverfish and target dummies) give no mastery. Training under extra gravity adds +0.25% hit mastery per point of bonus gravity.

So the fastest way to master a form is to fight in it: trade heavy blows while transformed rather than sitting idle.

Best way to farm mastery

Passive gain (+0.004% every 5 seconds) is tiny: you would wait hours just standing around. Combat is about 6× per hit (and up to 4× more for heavy hits), and both dealing and taking hits count, so the goal is to be in a transformation and exchange as many hits as possible:

Transform first, then fight, at high release. Mastery only ticks up while that specific form is active, and hit mastery needs 50%+ Power Release.
Pick a punching bag that hits back. Because taking hits also grants mastery, the ideal target survives a while and keeps swinging at you: a tanky mob you don't one-shot, a Shadow Dummy or a sparring partner. Trading blows fills the bar from both directions at once.
Hit hard, but don't one-shot. Big hits (relative to the target's health) are worth up to 4× more, but if you delete enemies in one hit you get one hit's worth of mastery and then have to find another. A fight that lasts many heavy exchanges is best.
Stack the multipliers below: a Mastery Multiplier effect, Frost Demon Evolutionary Mastery or the Mutant bonus.
Use shared mastery. Some forms share part of their mastery with related forms; for example every Kaioken tier passes 25% of its gains to the next tier.
Top it up with Mastery Capsules: +5% each, no fight needed.

In short Put on the form, release your power, find something that trades heavy hits with you for a long time, and keep a mastery buff running.

Mastery multipliers

Mastery Multiplier effect: +25% per level (also given by the Medi-Bug (Worm), see Effects).
Frost Demon Evolutionary Mastery: +25%.
Mutant: ×1.5 while you hold the Mutant effect (see Effects).
Gravity: +0.25% per point of bonus gravity (hit mastery only).
Shared mastery: forms can be set up to share part of their gains with related forms (see Custom Forms).

What mastery unlocks

As a form's mastery climbs it unlocks the next form of its group (25%), instant transformation (40%), transforming straight into it (50%) and the full bonus with the cheapest upkeep (100%). Mastery also lowers the form's drain. The details are on Transformations.

Checking and resetting

Use /dmzmastery to set or add mastery (see Commands). Mastery is tied to your forms; racial bonuses (Zenkai, Assimilation, Absorption) are separate and can be reset with /dmzracial reset (see Racial Skills).
