Guild Wars 2

I have done the story quest to get the mastery point for Glider Basics, but I can’t earn any xp for it. When I unlocked the mastery system the xp bar automaticly started working towards Pact Mentor mastery, and I can change it to the Legendary Crafting one for example but not to Glider Basics.
What am I doing wrong?

Open your mastery tab and click on the glider basics tab. Then just walk around and do events or grind on the small mobs to fill the yellow bar. Once you’ve filled said bar, you’ll “unlock” it by spending your sole mastery point on it.

The glider and the pact are under different masteries, the glider is under the Hot masteries and the pact mentor is under tyria

Gliding is a HoT mastery and can therefore only be levelled in the HoT maps.
Exp gained in the old maps goes toward the Tyria masteries.

I am having this same issue none of the things I do in the new content are making this bar progress…it is very frustrating!

Have you unlocked Masteries in the first place? Have you selected Gliding Mastery as the track you wish to work on?

Good luck.

Good luck.

One of their issues may also be that, unless you are doing Meta events in the HoT maps, most XP you gain will not make any dent in the bar, so it sometimes feels like nothing is being gained. I’ll do world bosses and get practically nothing (I wish XP would scale at that point, honestly).

I was just giving an example. The core Tyria world bosses still give barely any noticeable XP towards my core Tyria Mastery bar.

This is not really relevant to the OP. The first tier of any mastery track is quick. Basic gliding only needs 500k xp, compared to the final tier, Ley lines, which need 4 mil xp.
OP’s issue is that he either hasn’t properly unlocked the mastery tracks, or is earning the wrong map xp.
