Guild Wars 2

I have all my masteries done for central tyria. What is the point of map exploration now other than getting waypoints? XP is worthless and the items for map completion are not that great excluding the gift of exploration, which I am good on.

Getting WPs, a bit of loot, and transmutation charges. And sometimes BL keys. And Gifts of Exploration if you do want them again.

Gifts of Exploration are now available to use for Level 400 Scribes for Tyrian Globe – this is also an ingredient for the awesome Globe of Whispers decoration which you can have in your guild hall!

I’ve never done map completion for the experience, not even for masteries. I’ve only done it for the Gift of Exploration (for legendaries), the chance of keys, and the local materials (sometimes valuable cloth or leather).

Which is another way of saying: I hardly ever complete maps. And I’m okay with that.

I’m just saying they need to put in something that has XP matter after max level and Masteries. Nothing is more discouraging than seeing numbers popping up all the time and knowing they mean exactly nothing.

I think they should just get rid of the XP numbers once you stop earning XP.

I consider the XP numbers as confirmation of my contribution. I know I’ve killed a mob because I saw the XP coming up – so I know I’ll get credit for an event, for example. If they were to get rid of the numbers, something else would have to pop up to confirm a kill for me, but then, what’s the point of it being something else? Might as well just be the already in-the-game mechanics.

I think the long-term plan is to keep introducing new mastery tracks, including ones which can be trained in Central Tyria. So XP will be useful again at some point.

But I’m guessing we won’t see any new ones before the next expansion, which could be a while.

I’d quite like to see them re-implement the old system: if you’ve trained up all your masteries (or all the ones you can train in that area) then you get Spirit Shards for XP.

XP is not everything in this game. You also get BL keys, transmutation charges, gift of explorations, crafting materials and sometimes exoticts.

With the exception of the gifts of exploration, most of those aren’t worth the time investment needed to do map completion when they can be obtained more easily elsewhere. Not at the quantities provided by map completion, and certainly not when you are doing hearts for the 7th time and just want them to shut up about the termites already.

So your thread has nothing to do with map completion then. Keep your thread titles relevant to what you actually want to discuss, as Map completion isn’t just about getting experience.

And there are already multiple other threads about wasted experience after you finish your masteries.

Don’t you get a Central Tyria Mastery Point for it as well?

The first time you complete it.

Well i done 11 world completions, and ofc i do not only get that. I get kitten ton of crafting material for each region. I also get loads of drops that i either salvage or sell whilst going through the regions. I also get a bit of a quite time for my self in game were i just easy run around with music in my ears, gatherer, doing map completions, killing of some mobs and karma for some events. Tbh when i lack crafting material, mapcompletion is the first thing i turn too.
Effective enough, i dunno. I make a lot of gold on it anyway
