Not only do you get a pristine item, but a valuable harvested component as well
Master I spells / combat arts, as far as I know, are found in chest drops off Epic (read - raid level) Mobs, and occasionally (more aion kinah often recently I understand) off of named mob drops in dungeons (usually need at least a good group to take them out though, and who knows who will get the Loot?) and very rarely off of solo mobs. These are the ones that all the L337 (elite) players hunger for.
Master II spells / combat arts are upgrades that you get automatically every Tier or so starting at level 14, + another every 10 levels (24, 34, 44). You usually have a few choices to pick from. You get to pick one only.
Benefit: Think of this event as the gods of Innovation bestowing favor upon you for your skill and ingenuity. Not only do you get a pristine item, but a valuable harvested component as well!

Note from Frizznik, former Trade skill Developer, who introduced these events: ‘When I tell you that this event is ultra rare, I am not kidding. If two people, one harvesting, and one back to back trade skilling, were in a race to get the ebon cluster? The harvester would win.’
