You acquire Mastery Points at lvl 80 much the same as hero points.. you will see them marked on maps (I think central Tyria masteries are reddish iirc) Central Tyria has 3 Mastery Categories- Pact Commander, Legendary Crafting and Fractal Attunement. Each category has various mastery unlocks which you unlock by playing the game normally and acquiring mastery xp. When you max out a particular masteryfor example Pact Mentor (in the Pact Commander Mastery category) you need to unlock it using the mastery points you have acquired.. this might cost anything from 1 to 9 mastery points depending on which one your unlocking. To check progress of your masteries go to your Hero Panel and click on masteries - central Tyria If your new to the game I would not of recommended you go lvl 80 boost straight away.. there's a lot to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't unlocked that portion of the map yet. I only used the boost because someone mentioned I get uber gear and I can work my way back to do personal story. My question where exactly in heart of Tyria do I start this quest? It's saying its max unlocked but I have go to Tyria. I'd like know exactly so I can hurry and get back to my personal misson.

Linken.6345 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 You need to do the first story in either heart of thorns or path of fire to unlock mastries you can then go back and continue your core personal story and replay said episode when your at that point in the story.

Linken.6345 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 press H to get the hero panel then you have a star in the middle over the crafting hammer. Top of it is my story what your doing at the moment check further down you will see heart of thorns(green text) and/or path of fire(purple text) click either and start story.

Yamazuki.6073 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Is the front of your case closed off? You didn't show the front panel, but a lot of glass oriented cases have closed front panels with small vents that provide nearly zero airflow which impacts the gpu temperatures. GW2 can cause gpu temperatures to go up to 70-80 degrees normally, and with a closed off case on top of a line of gpus with inconsistent cooling it wouldn't be surprising if the temperatures reached 90 degrees. One thing you can do is remove the front panel of your case, ensuring your gpu is not overclocked, and a clean re-install of your drivers and gw2.

It's opened. I opened it and removed the front vent that it has on there for more airflow so more dust does get in but also more airflow. It has three small fans at the front but I don't think its doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaralyna.3104 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I am not techie enough regarding the high temperature of your pc but regarding the masteries, read through this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery Keep in mind that you can only get your central tyria masteries in the core zones of the game (think queendale, orr, ascalon, ....), the HoT expansion masteries can only be done in HoT zones, and the PoF expansion masteries in PoF zones.

Unfortunately that's a really bad combination of issues. That's why I suggested the OP put a piccye of his gw2 settings, list his system specs and maybe a picky of his actual pc, front back. Something is causing the issue and my bet is its is down to very poor airflow management not faulty equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should you be forced to reduce graphics quality when you can instead make sure your card (and system as a whole) gets enough cooling to not run that hot in the first place? @OP: Apart from proper GPU cooling via software, your case requires a fan in front and one on the side (next to your PCI slots) that suck air in, one on the back that blows it out (and, if possible to install in your case, also 1-2 on top that also blow the hot air out). Most BIOSes allow you to set your case fan speed to maximum. If not, there is third party software that can do it, but I would recommend the former option, if possible (i.e., via BIOS). > @"Icemanfrost.5428" said: > I have 16GB of memory(7.90 USABLE > Processor AMD FX 8350 eight core processor > System type window 7 operating system > I'm using an SSD TB but its a bit older one **Can you finally give me your exact card's name (manufacturer and model)?** If you don't know how to do it, download [speccy](https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy "Speccy") and type down what it says under "Graphics".

My video card is pretty nice compared to my old 780GTX. I'm not used to it getting so loud. I thought it would be really smooth on this game. Maybe its my system but I didn't think it could be so rough on it sometimes, and everytime I load it, it goes into repair mode. I downloaded MSI afterburner to control the speed a bit better.
