Ways around Mastery Rank lock?

[-_GrayFox_-]

My friend, who is Mastery rank 12, bought the Galatine Prime and Tigris Prime bundle, and was able to use them. Even though they are for 13 MR. Is is possible to buy, for example, Raksa Cernos from someone and bypass the MR 12 thing as well?

It was only possible this time because your friend bought the prime access pack, which removes MR lock on the weapons. Other than that, there is no other workaround.

You can only bypass MR lock by purchasing item directly from DE. (e.g. Prime Access Packs, Market items with plat). There is no other way.

Market items with plat.

Only market items that are included in a bundle. Just clarifying that part.

The only ways to obtain MR-locked equipment without reaching the MR requirement is to buy it from Prime Access or to buy it from the Market in a bundle that is not MR-locked (none of them are MR-locked to my knowledge).

Single purchases from the Market, crafting in the Foundry, and trading are all locked by the standard MR restrictions.

All owned equipment is usable regardless of MR. The only locks currently in the game apply only to obtaining equipment, not using it.

As the other posters have said before me, there technically are exceptions, yes.

However, in regards to the Rakta Cernos -- no, there is no way to bypass that limit.

A few Bundles such as Hunhow's gift and Prime access only. You can't even gift weapons to those who don't have the MR for it.

Alright, thank you all for the replies. It has helped. :)
