Guild Wars 2

This may be a stupid or obvious question but I am having trouble using the bouncing mushrooms. I am training them in the mastery section but when I bounce on a mushroom I still get the popup that states to train the mushroom to learn to use but its already selected. When I bounce on the mushroom I am only able to jump and spin. I am not launched to another location.

Are you training the mastery or do you have that particular mastery completed? You must have the mushroom mastery completed before it will let you bounce. Like all the masteries, you don’t get the ability until you complete the mastery for it.

So you just have to bounce up and down on them a ton to master it?

No, you earn masteries by filling the xp bar at the bottom of your screen. When the bar is full, it will flash quickly. Click on the icon at the end and you can unlock the ability. It is an interesting system because you learn abilities by doing something that in no way is related to the mastery. Want to be better at gliding? Do the events for xp. and suddenly you can glide better. Want to learn how to speak the language of the natives? Gain tons of xp and suddenly you can speak to them.

That makes more sense, thank you
