Guild Wars 2

Hey boys,

As a main PvP player, I have little to no knowledge about +30 fractals and haven’t done a single raid.

What do you suggest doing for Tyrian Mastery levels?
I’ve got 65 AR for Fractals on my DareDevil Staff thief.

What is the fastest way for Maguuma Mastery levels?

My goal is to reach max before PoF comes out (Im at lv 67 now, is that even possible?)

Kind regards,
Denied

IDK about Tyrian…
But for maguuma, doing every map story and insight including the Living World 3 Map should give many mastery point.

Mastery points are intentionally grouped to a completionist effort….. so you pretty much have to Dive into Story chapters, Map exploration and Achievements to get them quickly. HoT mastery tracks in particular are Access gates… so to get Mastery points outside of the main story arc, they lead upward in a type of Metroidvania style approach where certain MPs require you to have other mastery abilities unlocked.

The intended progression path is Story missions and Map Participation achievements to enable the mobility skills, which opens to being able to reach channeled map MP, followed by Challenge achievements (Adventures, Boss Achievements, and completing Map Meta achievements), and then “Back Tracking” when you have advanced mobility skills to reach hidden MPs and Achievements that you couldn’t do the first time around.

For Tyrian Mastery points, the majority of them come from Achievements. Doing personal story (including living world), maxing out crafting disciplines, collections, Special Boss metas, and living world story completion achievements. Recently they added 9 Channeled mastery points around the higher level Tyrian maps…. most of which are at the end of Jump puzzles. The Achievement panel will have an MP icon next to categories that offer MPs, and will be listed on the specific achievements that award them.

I highly recommend focusing on the HOT achievements first, because those need groups to advance the map meta, which you’ll need to get access to Adventures (each one offers an MP for Silver and Gold). Adventures are a Pain, but you’re practically required to get at least silver in most of them to get enough MP to max everything out. The MP from Gold acts as a surplus to slightly ease the burden of other, difficult to open/do adventures.

The Raid and Ancient Magic tracks are for Raids and Living Story Season 3 respectively…. they are part of the HOT group, but not a requirement for finishing the 4 initial mastery tracks. However, both pieces of post-HOT content offers a significant surplus of Mastery points that you can use toward the main HOT tracks. LS3 has very low barriers for attaining them…. one from the story mission, 4-5 channeled on the map, and around a half dozen from achievements. You need to expend a quarter of those on Ancient Magics, as those contain abilities necessary for the maps… which leaves you a large number of left over points to fill out other HOT tracks. Raids are significantly harder, due to the high difficulty barrier; but I do recommend at least unlocking the track (by killing Vale Guardian), as this will block the Spirit shard reward for Maguuma roll over XP until all mastery tracks in that group are completed.
