can confirm you need raid mastery done as well to receive spirit shards in HoT content

Yes. If you are at max level and all your masteries are maxed you will now get a “bag” of spirit shards every 260K or so XP. Note that XP in HoT and Core game is still tracked separately so it’s tripping the level bar in either area.

do you need to have the raid masteries for it to consider the Heart of Maguuma masteries unlocked and completed or just the ones outside of raids?

I have finished everything to do with XP, but because I don’t have enough CT mastery points for the last Legendary crafting mastery that I will probably never even use, all my XP in the entirety of central Tyria is wasted. Locking the XP system to another one that requires completing arbitrary achievements, which are not trivial to complete, is bad design. You are constantly flashing XP in front of people, then essentially taking it away from them because they haven’t gone and done something else they may not want to do. What about people who don’t WANT to do the legendary crafting mastery line? Well too bad; if you don’t want your XP to be worthless, go do it anyway. What is your only mainstreaming achievements are things like getting a random drop in WvW (which you don’t play), buying every cultural armor in the game, or getting map completion while not receiving tons of XP for all the things you are doing? Too bad.

If I am waiting on mastery points to unlock, then let the XP go toward something. I would prefer real reward tracks like in PvP and WvW, but at least spirit shards are something (albeit something that isn’t all that useful currently, but hopefully they will add more varied vendors if the currency becomes more common), instead of absolutely nothing.

Well that is a good question. Someone should ask on reddit.
