How to reliably find Mastery Shrines?

[Vaagur]

The +4 to skills allows me to summon three wolves instead of two which is awesome... but I've found approximately two of these shrines in my entire play through...

I quit and created a game about fifteen times in a row next to a spot with three shrines close to each other and they spawned many different shrines but never Mastery... So how do I find them reliably?? Please help me. :o

max your wolves at 16 skill points. Find gear that gives +2 to nature skills or all skills. Once at 18 you can always have 3 wolves. Shrines are randomly generated.

I've searched the inventory of every single merchants for 20h and looted every singles staves and I haven't even found a +1 to nature. :/

They are out there for sure, you can also make artifacts that grant that bonus as well. I think leaf song or druidic wreath add +1 or +2. Can't recall exactly.

Well I have leafsong and it doesn't give nature skills in the description. Maybe Druidic Wreath, but I don't have it. :l

I'll look through some of my gear and see if I have anything useful. What character level are you? I have a nature/spirit character in legendary right now so I should have something saved.

I'm about level 21 but I don't know if I wanna take stuff from other people. I wanted to mostly play the game alone with my girlfriend, like no gear boost or rush if you want it this way. I have looked online how to aquire +skills items, but I don't seem to get any in-game. I've been looking at every merchants. :(

We can trade evenly so it's not for free, but up to you. I completely get not wanting boosts. Playing path of exile last year though made me love trading with people though. Would love a searchable player market like that games has.

Pets are really good to start the game with but really struggle towards the end of normal mode. Once you beat normal and go to epic, then legendary they get much better as they get more health/damage each time the game difficulty increases.

Whatever I have for a level 21 wouldn't be that big of a boost :)

If you have been checking merchants the magic one is the only one worth checking for nature things. General merchants that you find outside of town can be worth checking too.

Yep, I've been checking the misc merchants and the one with a tome over their heads mostly. ^^

And I do have 4k hours clocked in Path of Exile, it's probably my favorite game ever made.

I suppose if you had 2 +1 nature items I could buy them off you for like 150k each then?
