leveling from crafting...
A craft from 0-400 is 7 levels, roughly. A craft from 0-500 is 10 levels.
Try using those fireworks you get from the festival. They say there is a small boost to experience. Should work for that.

Upon use, it grants Ram’s Reward, a 10% bonus experience from all sources, for 5 minutes. The effect duration stacks up to 2 hours.
thats a good idea astral i might try that thanks
I may actually save those then for when the expansion comes out. They’d be useful for progressing the masteries.

But how would they progress the Masteries? Is was my understanding that points were gained by doing specific content, such as points for doing chapters of the Personal story. That they are much more like achievement points.

“Mastery points are spent on selective Master tracks; they are earned from completing various goals within the game, but they may only be spent at level eighty.”

“When this ability is unlocked, your character’s experience bar will change to become a Mastery training bar while in PvE zones. This bar will track your progress on training the Mastery track you currently have selected, showing both the abilities you are training toward and those already earned from the track. (Snip) Because the Mastery training bar completely replaces the experience bar, players who’ve reached level 80 will no longer gain levels but will instead train Masteries.”
So my understanding is, after you hit 80 you no longer gain XP and mastery points are from completing content. I wouldn’t expect the Lunar fireworks to affect this.

Re-read the second part you quoted. I bolded what was relevant. A lot of people have missed there are two aspects to progressing masteries.

Yah. It says that the bar will progress without saying what progresses the bar.
What I’m basing my question on is this part:
“Mastery points are spent on selective Master tracks; they are earned from completing various goals within the game, but they may only be spent at level eighty.”
Where it looks like achievement points. So if (random number here) it requires 10 points to fill the bar, you will have to complete goals which give you the points to fill the bar (one reported way was doing the personal story sections. You get mastery points for doing those)
“To train a specific Mastery track, you must first unlock it by spending Mastery points. Mastery points are awarded for completing various pieces of game content. Things like completing a chapter in your personal story, completing certain achievements, reaching hard-to-find locations, overcoming challenging encounters, excelling at adventures found within the Heart of Maguuma, or earning 100% completion for a map will award Mastery points. "

Which makes the Mastery points sounds like achievement points, not XP, filling the bar.
I guess we’ll have to wait until the PAX East demo or another blog. What I believe happens is that you use mastery points to unlock mastery tracks and tiers within each track. The XP you would’ve gained from leveling would then be used to progress your mastery until you reach the point that you need to invest more mastery points to proceed to the next step.
“Once you’ve unlocked a Mastery track tier with Mastery points, you can begin training that Mastery. Mastery tracks are trained by gaining experience while the Mastery track is slotted on the Mastery training bar. Higher tiers in Mastery tracks require progressively more Mastery points and more experience to fully train.”

Yah. It could be both. I guess we will have to wait for a more detailed explanation.
