A journeyman is a 1st level character (usually an expert or commoner) who has applied himself, has maxed out his skill ranks and is ready to begin journeying to ply his trade unsupervised; much like a 1st level adventurer striking out for the first time. A master is someone who's accumulated a good deal of experience in his field and continued to hone his skill. 10 ranks is achievable at 7th level is a nice round number and, I think, the highest level which most dedicated NPCs commonly reach before reaching their peak level-wise.</blockquote>
