Guild Wars 2

Sorry, I’m newly back and I know there is prob a simple answer to this, but I can’t find it.

My Exp bar is capped at 3175000/317500 in Tyria. Do I need to spend mastery points in Tyria before it uncaps?

I have HoT, and have completed partial story for every character. I have around 30 Mastery points.

Thanks for any help possible.

After reaching lvl 80 your exp can only be used to progress masteries. If the exp-bar for your current mastery is full, the remaining exp vanishes into the void.

This changes if you complete ALL masteries. Then your exp will grant you 1 spirit shard per level-up.

Walker,

There are Tyrian and Maguuma Masteries. While you are in Tyria, your xp bar will be capped until you have Tyrian Mastery points to spend on a Tyrian Mastery line. And while you are in the Heart of Maguuma, your xp bar will be capped until you have Maguuma Mastery points to spend on a Heart of Thorns mastery line. And as Bunji said, once you have spent all your Tyrian Mastery points, you will earn spirit shards while in Tyria, and once you have spent all your Maguuma Mastery points, you will earn spirit shards while in Heart of Thorns maps.

Well, as I thought, it was something dumb. While I didn’t have any unspent points in my Tyria Masteries, I had a “ready to train” line of masteries that I needed to click on to unlock my exp bar again.

Thanks for the kind responses and help.

And luckily the exp I had while it was “capped” wasn’t lost and now I’m a 1/4 way into next point.
