what is the best way / even chain to farm xp for mastery point nowaday?
The best way to farm xp for mastery points nowadays is to do the event chain that you most enjoy. Better yet, you probably want to do a variety of event chains so one doesn’t wear you out. From my experience of seeing complaints on the forums, this is what happened the most. People tried to do one event chain or tried to get experience as fast as they could to max their masteries. This caused them to go crazy and hate the game.

Your goal should be to have fun, not to max your character as fast as possible. This isn’t WoW and its called horizontal progression instead of vertical progression for a reason. Most of the masteries are not needed. The only really important ones are bouncing mushrooms, gliding, and updrafts (in gliding). Try completing achievements, story missions, and collecting armor, runes and other rewards that you want in the game. The experience will just come along with it. Enjoy yourself

Nah it’s not that i want to rush it to max it out, cuz i really don’t care about that. I just want the masteries to unlock the hot weapons. only thing i am missing to become full ascendend.

Dude asked for advice not for a lecture. If he wants to only play efficiently and ends up getting bored thats his loss and his choice.

Auric basin meta gives quite some good exp. It’s up every uneven hour.

You can attain Ascended Weapons without all HoT Masteries. Or, did you mean HoT Legendary Weapons?

I did the Bitterfrost Frontier “defend braziers” when I needed quick HoT XP. There are always Kodans who need help, and at some point in the rhythm several champs spawn. I also got lots of Unbound Magic that way.

Um, . . . pretty sure I was giving advice. Of course your always free to make your own decisions. The op also didn’t say he wanted the most efficient way, they just said the best way. Advice is there to provide recommendation, not to just say “do whatever you want, the decision is yours.” If a kid comes up to me for advice if he should have an apple or Cocaine for breakfast, I’m not gona just simply tell them that the choice and consequences are yours and leave it at that. I’m going to explain why many people in the past who had Cocaine for breakfast did not ultimately end up as happy campers down the road.

The best way to obtain XP for HoT masteries is the leather farm in Lake Doric. The second best would be Dragon’s Stand.

Even if you don’t want to max everything, I would still give the same recommendations. However, providing additional information on what line you want to work on and what you mean by “best” way could also be beneficial for helping readers understand what exactly you want. For example, if you want HoT legendaries than the track for that is actually under Central Tyria rather than Heart of Magumma. This would mean that some of the advice others gave you about doing HoT events like auroric basin or the new living world stuff would not count towards experience for that track. You would have to do “central tyria” stuff.
Perhaps the fastest way to get experience for central tyria would be to equip an experience booster, go into the dungeon Citadel of Flames path 1 in the brazier room with a bunch of people, and just kill mobs that continuously spon until you have the masteries done that you want. The reason this is fast is not that each mob provides a lot of experience, but because there is no down time. If you do events like silver wastes instead, you have to spend time clearing your inventory and waiting for a new event. People were doing this when masteries first came out. However, I would not personally recommend it and only call it the ‘fastest’ not the ‘best’ for multiple reasons, such as: you gain no gold for doing it, many people get burned out, and you don’t really accomplish anything else in the game by doing it.
Usually all meta events provide a lot of experience and gold. However, there is downtime between events, so you want to switch between maps and events if you want both the most gold and experience. Also, once again, equip an experience booster if you have them. Also, as mentioned, the leather farm is probably very fast for experience (faster than events). However, I personally find it boring as you are just killing mobs (but maybe you are different), and I really don’t know how the gold per hour it is now that the leather prices are starting to drop. However, its still prob not too bad.
I don’t really know what HoT weapons you are talking about, so I can’t really comment on that. However, if you are interested in getting ascended weapons and working on central tyria masteries at the same time, then I would also recommend fractals. It won’t be in any way the fastest, unless you want to do fractal progression anyway (because then you hit two birds with one stone). However, you alway have the chance of an ascended armor or weapon crate dropping for you in fractals.
