Exclusive Mastery

Most Mastery-rewarding items or their blueprints can be directly farmed, bought or researched. The following items are the exceptions. They are equipment that had a limited distribution period or have been removed from circulation.

Founder Exclusive
Acquisition: Impossible.

These items were given to those who donated to the earliest stages of the game. As rewards for their help at that crucial time, these items can never after be obtained.

Market Retired
Acquisition: None currently, with exceptions.

These items were once for sale in the Market but have been removed. The Gorgon is still available as a random Login Reward.

Ether Daggers and Boar were retired before being reintroduced as a quest reward and enemy drop respectively. The Machete (on PC and PS4), Ether Daggers (on PS4) and Snipetron have also appeared as special login or alert rewards.

Event Reward
Acquisition: None currently.

These items were available as rewards from special Operations, or just from logging in during celebratory periods like anniversaries or development milestones.

There is hope for reappearances from this category.

Strun Wraith has been released multiple times. The Brakk was an event reward before becoming a Grustrag Three drop. The Dex Furis as an award for the first anniversary was re-released along with the Dex Dakra for the second anniversary, and either may appear again around the end of March. Most recently, two former event items Prova Vandal and Machete Wraith were added to the Void Trader's rotating merchandise.

In May of 2013 we were told that the Vandal Series "are exclusive". At the time only two such weapons existed, the closed beta items Braton Vandal and Lato Vandal. In February of 2014, DE stated there is always a chance every one-time-only item could return, but walked this back concerning the Founder items which remain emphatically exclusive.

Prime Vault
Acquisition: Blueprints and parts still tradeable from players.

These items were removed from the Void drop tables to make room for newer Prime items. For now the blueprints and parts can only be obtained from other players who acquired them previously. DE has implied they will eventually return.

Void Trader
Acquisition: Directly tradeable from players if Unranked. With the exception of Prova Vandal and Machete Wraith, which are not tradeable.

These are part of Baro Ki'Teer's merchandise. They will occasionally return to the Void Trader's stock on future visits.
