Guide to Heart of Thorns?
totally agree, there is not a single explaination when coming into the new parts except a very few pop ups that come when almost dead, hover over descriptions and some random npc telling stuff.
first two days i played i was totally lost. had no idea how to do masteries and elite specialization was for me not understandable, oh hai you unlocked the first 200 points but i will not let you equip a staff! WHY NOT?? it doesnt explain anywhere…
yeah for 450 swedish kronor I’d like a better tutorial or explanation of masteries elite specialization and or new mechanics of HOT
My focus in HoT has been to complete the 4 maps and do DEs so I can get XP for my masteries. Since you can’t skip around in a line of masteries but have to do them in order, I’ve been opening my masteries panel in my hero panel (H) and cueing up the first of each line and then watching my XP bar carefully so I can switch to the next mastery when it’s full.
I also use Dulfy’s online guides to Hero Challenge locations, mastery insight locations (they each give 1 mastery point), and strongbox locations since those each give a mastery point, too.
As for the maps, I wish there were guides online to show me how to get to the POIs. These maps get very confusing very fast for me about where everything is exactly.
This article was some help. But even here, they claim not enough information.
I’ll just chime in and say that this is more due to personal incompetence. Everything in this expansion so far has been pretty logical and straight-forward.
You select a Mastery you want to gain XP towards. When your bar is full, you open the Mastery panel and click the mastery to consume a point, and gain the mastery.
You do what you’ve always done. Events, gather currencies. Use your XP to train a desired Mastery track. Gain new ability – decide on new Mastery track to train (or continue in the same one, XP is saved for each track.)
