Graveyard Keeper 2 tools tier list: mastery bonus

Every tool ranked by how much mastery it adds while you work, with the mastery colour it counts towards. Mastery decides how fast star crafts go and how likely they are to succeed.

Ranked by mastery bonus from the game files at build 25910882. Counts the mastery the tool adds, which is all a tool changes in a craft. Does not count its price or when you unlock it.

How this is ranked

Metric: The mastery points the tool adds to its colour while equipped, straight from the item’s balance data. It adds to your own mastery level in that colour, as in the star odds calculator.
How tiers are cut: By percentile within this list, so a tier says where something sits among its peers, not how good it is in absolute terms. Equal values always share a tier.
S: top 10%
A: next 20%
B: next 30%
C: next 25%
D: bottom 15%

One number can't capture everything (reach, speed, effects, how a build plays). That's what the maker is for: open this list there and move things around.
