The game and the wiki are accurate, but misleading. You only get an unlock for completing each chapter once, even if you complete it on multiple characters of different races or make different choices during the story. (You get different achievements based on races, though, just not more mastery points.)

So for example, you complete chapter 1 (the L10 story) on a human and then take your sylvari through past chapter 2 (so both L10 and L20 stories). You’d end up with just two mastery points, not 3.

These are unique (7 points):

• Karka Queen Killer
• Dive Master
• Lion’s Arch Exterminator
• Been There, Done That
• Hidden Garden
• Retrospective Runaround
• Master of Heroics

You get one unlock for each line of stories below (3 points)

• I: Crime and Punishment (human), For the Legion! (charr), Rising to the Challenge (norn)
• II: Bloodying the Past (charr), Family Reunion (human), Things Best Left Behind (norn)
• III: Brawn over Brains (norn), From Howl to Silence (charr), Storming the Castle (human)

These personal stories each count for an unlock point (5 points):

• IV/priory: Defending History, Informing the Future
• IV/whispers: To Know the Unknown
• V: A Friend In Deed (earned once, no matter how many races helped)
• VI/vigil: This Far, No Further
• VII: The Cost of Victory (earned once, no matter how many fears you reveal to the mother tree)

So, as Turamarth.3248 says, 15 total points.

OK, thanks for the info. I really wish they would make the central Tyria mastery points a little less fizbin. HoT mastery points are everywhere but you have to grind to get ones in central Tyria. The wiki is definitely misleading.

They really should add additional ones. Maybe make it part of the game to break out of maps to reach rewards, do a series of challenges where you have tasks from obscure NPCs no one talks to. As an example; there is an abandoned child character on Snowden Drifts that should have a story track plus old big arm mentioned by NPCs on Wayfarer Foothills. I always thought a good story for him would be to rescue him from becoming icebound.

It turns out that you can get all the mastery points you need from the content that uses it:

• Fractals have more points (14) than needed to max Fractal Mastery (11).
• Pact Commander costs 19 and you can get that from things like personal story, exploration, JP, etc … all simple stuff.
• Legendary Crafting also needs 19 and to finish nearly any legendary, you need to go all over, which is maybe why there are 10-15 fairly challenging points (although you don’t need them all to max).
