Mastercraft armor and weapons are exceedingly powerful sets of items that typically confer come extra benefits on the bearer if they are wearing/wielding the full set and have the set's associated pet out (if there is an associated pet to the set). Every year there is a "yearly mastercraft set" released, this may not be the only mastercraft set released in a calendar year.
Mastercrafted items have extra power, versatility, or abilities which are paid for by having a higher price than normal items, instead of having penalties which would otherwise balance out the item's power so that it remained roughly equal to other normal items. A normal weapon with a trigger could deal 110% damage to undead, 95% damage to normal monsters, but a Mastercrafted weapon would deal 110% damage to undead and 100% damage to normal monsters, in exchange for having a higher price. That is Mastercrafting, partner. Accept no substitutes.[Source]
For example, wearing the dragon knight's hide and the dragon knight's crest, and wielding the dragon knight's scales and the dragon knight's fangs grants access to the fire breath ability and the half-dragon transformation skill; wearing/ wielding those items allow the dragon knight's familiar to inflict bleeding damage on your foes.
Mastercraft items usually confer higher defenses than normal and are difficult and expensive to obtain. Their price is 10% higher than an equivalent non mastercrafted item.
