Guild Wars 2

I’ve just checked all my level 80 characters and they’re all training Legendary Crafting while in Pact Tyria, which is what I picked. I haven’t completed it, but somehow I’ve completed Productive Downtime (Pact Commander line), which I didn’t think I’d even started.

Does anyone know how this happened?

I know when I was in Fractals the XP automatically went into the Fractal mastery track, is it possible there are similar areas where the Legendary one isn’t available and the XP goes into the Pact Commander line instead?

(I’ve mainly been doing Wintersday events recently, but I did do some ascended crafting.)

I’ve noticed a few instances where I got random experience in a track I’d never manually trained, though it was all HoT masteries. Never completed one that way, though. Not sure if its a bug or what.

It could be an honest to goodness glitch. Or maybe (this is a stretch, depends on how eagle eyed you are in watching your progress), maybe each time you finished the xp for a tier you didn’t notice it for long enough that the game had to pick somewhere else to dump the excess xp and it was in Pact Commander? And this happened enough times to max a tier there?

I did think about that, but I’m pretty certain that’s not the case.

I trained Pact Mentor (T1) first, then decided I wasn’t that bothered about any of the other tiers so I switched to Legendary Crafting.

I finished Revered Antiquarian (T1) a while ago, and may have missed a bit of XP before spending the mastery points and continuing with T2 but I definitely didn’t have Productive Downtime maxed at the time because I remember looking through all of them and I’d have noticed if that was the case.

Since then I’ve not really been looking at it (and that was about a month ago, maybe longer) but I can’t see how the XP could have gone into a tract I’m not training if the one I am training isn’t complete.

I’ll have to keep a closer eye on it from now on.

(And if anyone’s wondering yes that is shocking slow mastery progress. There’s a variety of reasons, but the short version is I’ve had other priorities.)
