Guild Wars 2

You can’t get Maguuma masteries outside the HoT maps or the new ones that follow after.
You should get access to Verdant after the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Prologue:_Rally_to_Maguuma story then do https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Torn_from_the_Sky ,its only after that you need masteries and the gliding.

I know scribe had a pass a while back to make things a little easier but its still ridiculous how many lower level deco’s etc are needed to make the higher ones.

I just got asked by my guild leader if i could make some Writ of Masterful Speed , turns out its the only one of the 4 writs available that needs you to make 3 Studied as ingredients which in turn need 9 Basic.
