Guild Wars 2

I’ve been stuck at 8 total Mastery Points for a while now (started with 15 total) despite fully completing several different maps + getting achievements + killing world bosses + doing daily achievements. I don’t even think I’ve got a single Mastery Point in Tyria since HoT launched.

It says (verbatim), “Complete content and achievements and find places of power in Central Tyria to get Mastery points.” Well obviously I’ve found places of power because I’ve finished both Caledon Forest and Plains of Ashford (among others) 100% which both have “places of power” and I haven’t gained a single Mastery Point. I mention those two over a boatload of other stuff I’ve done because they both have “places of power” where you commune and then use Quartz Crystals afterwards; 0 points gained.

So either the description is wrong or I am bugged. What the hell.

If you look in the achievement’s sections it clearly shows which achieves gives mastery points.

Not sure what to tell you. I started with 38 Tyria mastery points. Have not checked where they all came from but yeah if you play the game as you normally would (or should?) you will get them I guess.

Then again I am an alt-a-holic and have beaten the story (on all of them and world completes) and do all crafts, play all content type etc, so maybe I was just lucky in that regard.

Either way, I wish you luck!

Weird, I’m a PvP player that spent 80% time in PvP, and I still got 46 mastery points when HoT landed. How come you only have 8? :O. Did you do the personal story?

Each personal story arc and each LS2 episode give 1 point each.

Personal story gets you barely any points, maybe like 6, but probably less. You might have spent 20% in non-PvP but to get 46 points I’m sure you’ve played for thousands of hours, so that 20% in PvE is probably a lot. I don’t think 46 points is even close to being possible in PvP.

Btw, it seems that 100% map completion only gets you 1 point. “Been there, Done that” = 1 point. Unreal.

The legenday silverwastes bosses are worth 1 point each, plus one for killing all 4

lion’s arch exterminator is worth one

completing the Tequatl cheevos is worth 1 (on top of 1 from your first Tequatl kill.)

A bunch of the Fractal achievements are worth 1

They arn’t supposed to be super easy kitten that you rack up on like day 4 of the expansion

That is only 6 points you listed. Most of those I’ve already got within my 15 total. And they’re the “easy” ones. How the hell do people have over 60? I went through the available achievements and they don’t even come close to being 60. The Living Story and other content you have to spend more money on to unlock must give a lot more than people are saying. It doesn’t add up.

You get two max from each living story season 2 episode.

I listed a minimum of 8

I was just listing ones that are pretty achievable if you set your mind to it.

So you get 16 points from the Living Story 2 that new/returning players have to pay an extra $20 for. That’s such bullkitten. If you release it as free content you shouldn’t slap a price tag on it at a later date. It’s not even the amount of money, it’s the fact that it was once free and now they force new/returning players to pay extra for content that was originally designed to be free. Scumbag tactics. kitten this.

Are they retroactive?

Yes they are.
