CoF masteries farming
Anet has cleared it and wont be banning anyone for it. they have stated"how fast you earn them is up to you" specifically for this situation.
It’s not an exploit, it’s just a really tedious farm. You don’t get any loot and you don’t even get that much xp unless you’re stacking every booster there is, but there are constant spawns so you can just sit there for hours grinding and grinding…
Anet has definitely known about it for long enough that they could have shut it down by now if they wanted to.
CoF is Boring … Cursed Shore is better .. you have plenty of events chains that gives you ton of XP .. Arah , plinx , jofast , melandru .. etc .etc .. you get XP and loot from Mobs and from the events .. there is no Events XP in CoF , you get no loot in CoF farm
You definitely want something that gives you kill streak if you do this. The thing that eats candy corn and occasionally gives you duration-stacking XP buffs is great for that.
Some fireworks from the lunar new year festival give a small XP buff that stacks with just about everything. Not many people use them. They stack up to 2 hours.
Get 15% food and 15% utility XP. Those potions that work against Scarlett’s minions are great for 15% utility XP.
If you’ve been hording XP buffs since day 1 like I have, you have a nice little reserve to get you through this farm. If you wasted them for the heck of it like most people, well that’s too bad.
Regarding the farm itself, there are four spots that appear to spawn enemies, but one of them doesn’t work. The two spots farthest away from the entrance, one spawns enemies at both spots and the other does not. So, most people stack on the spot that spawns two spots for continuous spawning while someone that can move around fast tags the other two spots closest to the entrance. Just try to tag all the enemies. That’s your goal. Tag them all before they die. It’s not about DPS, so sacrifice a DPS weapon or skill in favor of one that lets you tag a lot of stuff.
As a thief with a short bow, I picked one of the trigger points, set my back to it, parked halfway between the trigger point and the main stack of players, and used my 3 skill to fly backwards into the trigger and then run forward back to the between spot. It got to be pretty automatic after a while. That left one trigger for a runner to go back and forth to.
I would dedicate one character to this farm and play a different one so you can log out the XP buffed character as soon as you are done XP farming to preserve the buffs.
It was very, very boring though. I did fractal and pact commander sets of masteries, but decided to accumulate legendary XP the old fashioned way as I have no intention of trying to make a legendary for a long, long time. As anticipated, making legendaries is very expensive and very time consuming. I have eight 20-slot bags on my main, so rather than put a ridiculous amount of money/time into a legendary, I can just make a few different ascended versions of the same weapon for a fraction of the cost and time.
Having a legendary is all about the weapon skin, not the practicality.
NOPE cause to do it without dying of boredom you need every booster = a lot of people buy boosters = MONEY BABY
