Route Mastery

How map score is built, what route ranks mean, and how route contracts and prestige fit together.

Route Mastery is the per-map progression system.

What it tracks

Each tracked route keeps its own progress. The route score is built from your real activity on that map.

The main tracked stats are:

  • encounters
  • catches
  • wins
  • walk tiles
  • outbreak catches
  • unique species

Current rank ladder

  • Uncharted: 0
  • Surveyed: 250
  • Charted: 700
  • Veteran Route: 1,600
  • Route Master: 3,200

What gives score

Right now, the biggest score comes from actually playing the route, not just pacing in circles.

Current weighting:

  • encounter = 1
  • catch = 10
  • win = 12
  • outbreak catch = 14
  • unique species = 18
  • every 200 walk tiles = 2

That means catches, wins, and unique species matter much more than passive walking.

Route contracts

Route contracts are the daily route jobs layered on top of mastery.

Common contract types include:

  • walking a route
  • triggering encounters
  • catching on a route
  • winning battles on a route
  • catching outbreak targets on a route

Route rewards

There are two layers:

  • rank rewards when you cross a new route rank
  • direct claim rewards when you finish a route contract

Route prestige also feeds profile and Aura Home showcase systems once you start mastering routes.

Why Route Mastery matters

It turns maps into long-term progression surfaces. Instead of routes being disposable, each route becomes something you can actually finish, flex, and revisit.
