Guild Wars 2

I recently hit Level 80 and on the main story (The Battle of Claw Island). I have been able to unlock the Staff Proficiency and Celestial Avatar for the Druid. How am I suppose to gain mastery points and get more Hero Points if I am only on the main story? Thanks for the help.

Check your achievement panel for how to get mastery points. There are separate ones for HoT and the core game.

Hero points are everywhere, you get them from hero challenges which you can see on your map. The core game ones are only 1 point per challenge, but they’re all incredibly easy. Later when you move to HoT (or now if you want), they’re worth 10 per challenge.

Thanks. I did not know if I had to wait to complete the other stories before moving on to HoT to complete the story.

You don’t even have to do the story at all if you don’t care about it, although you get some nice rewards out of it. The HoT story won’t make as much sense without doing all the living world seasons. Alternately if your find it boring, but want to know the background, or just want to dive right into the new expac, you can just read the recap on the wiki.

I’d like to just point out that there is no connection between mastery points and hero points
