Guild Wars 2

Can we “level” our masteries with tomes of knowledge?

All of my infos are very vague. Some guys say “No, you cannot.” others say “Yes, you can.” and all say “anet have said it”. So what can I believe? If you know the answer, could you pls give a link where anet has confirmed it?

At a sidenote, I personally hope we cannot level trough tomes of knowledge. In my eyes it would be a waste of the entery mastery system if this could be possible.

They said no, tomes will not effect masteries, just exp boosters (or at least they did during the beta)

Pretty sure this article included the relevant bit.

“This training bar is in no way tied to experience, but fills up by going out and doing stuff in the world. So any item that gives you experience won’t help you train masteries.”

The relevant quote from that article

The masteries seen in the demo are just the tip of what masteries will be available at launch, and the team will have more surprises for players. We wanted to know if all those consumables, like Tomes of Knowledge and Writs of Experience, would help players unlock all of these masteries faster. The short answer is that they won’t. The experience bar is going away and is being replaced by the mastery training bar. This training bar is in no way tied to experience, but fills up by going out and doing stuff in the world. So any item that gives you experience won’t help you train masteries.

Any item that gives you exp won’t help train Masteries. Any item that gives a bonus exp gain should train Masteries, if it stays the same as the beta. Considering they just revamped the boosters, I would say this will be true when the expansion starts.

Thank you, both of you. Sadly I can only select on answer
