Guild Wars 2

this probably seems really stupid and noobish – but ive been stuck at rank 1 do i need mastery points to get? and if so how would i get them if i cant rank up? idk if that makes any sense but my friends are up in 4+ rank and wont explain to me clearly what im doing wrong or not doing at all
i have full bars in rank 1 of the lore stuff and cant complete it, why? do i need mastery impossible to get points? this is probably a stupid question but im lost and overwhelmed

You need mastery points to rank up yes.Open your hero tab in game,and go to the last tab under achievements that says “masteries”.You will see the current mastery you maxed and next to it a star/sun kind of thing grey color.Click it,spend a mastery point and here you go.Hope I helped

I think her problem is- shes unable too rank up

the only thing i can say is submit a bug, or try a few events to see where thats getsa

Yes you need to go out in heart of thorns and get those mastery points on the map to be able to click masteries you exped upb100% to rank up.
Then you get to exp up yet another rank that need 2 mastery points to unlock.

Edit
Or you could stay in vanilla world and spend those master points you most likely already unlocked there by gaining exp in fractal of the mist, pact commander or legendary crafting mastery lines
