InfiniteRetro.9865 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 hey everyone. Just wondering whats the fastest way to level up a mastery? i dont mean the entire thing, but for example Season 3 i have to level up counter magic to continue. is there any hidden trick to it or simply just run around doing the events? thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yargesh.4965 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Heart of thorns mastery do city of gold the auric basin meta. A huge amount of experience just from that. Otherwise run around doing events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Events are the fastest way. Ideally finding a map with an event chain so you're going straight from one event into another. You can use any HoT or Seeason 3 map to level it up, it doesn't have to be that episodes map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The adventures in HoT award 100k xp daily and take about 1-2 minutes each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Opening and exploring maps with different characters can also be a good source of experience, as every piece of map exploration does give experience. Most helpful for me (especially during the early HoT days when you needed certain masteries to continue the expansion story) was changing from the story character to another one for a while and just not worry about the mastery. I could be sure the experience would accumulate while I was enjoying something else :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteRetro.9865 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 thanks for the replies guys. ended up on the jade event chain and that gave me roughly 3/4 of the bar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs.6089 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 You can go to DS meta if you have couple of hours to spare, it's roughly about 1M exp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiSaZuL.2843 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'd say HOT meta maps and just rolling with the event chains. Events in general are where xp is at. Killing on other hand is the worst way to get xp even with stacking booster multipliers and kill steaks and all that, it's pittance except for Labyrinth... but that paradise is seasonal event map for better or worse.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 For masteries, it’s typically best to not prioritize events and instead go for chaining enemy kills. This is why the leather farm on the Lake Doric map is the best one for HoT masteries followed by the escort phase on Dragon’s Stand. Another option is to do the living story dailies. Each one gives 12,700 XP. You can also preemptively stockpile them in anticipation of future masteries. I purposely stockpiled about 2.2M worth of the PoF ones so I could unlock the new mastery right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize ahead of time for asking a ltp question, I have seen this statement made before, but have never been clear what and how is being stockpiled to prep for the next mastery, nor have I been able to find anything on the wiki.

Nath Forge Tempete.1645 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Meta events from both HoT maps gives crazy XP ... especially Auric Bassin for the time it takes to achiev. Like 8 min gives 600k xp for the maguuma masteries. Doing it daily helps a lot . Dragon stand is great but requires more play time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Is it strange that I've never been able to collect the actual mastery points as fast as my XP maxes out? Not even close. The XP fills so fast I find it baffling that some people have the points but not the XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example chest: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chest_of_the_Jahai_Hero Each LS map daily chest drops an item that awards XP immediately upon consuming the chest corresponding to the expansion required to access that map. LS3 daily chests only reward HoT XP while LS4 daily chests only reward PoF XP. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scrap_of_Desert_Mastery Edit: Also unrelated to the thread is that doing the easy/quick LS dailies is a great way to farm karma as you get 1,500 per chest.

Luthan.5236 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I found this old thread with google. Wanted to post some of my experiences since I'm quickly mastering the remaining HoT (which is considered to be slower/harder) and LS3 now. (Still haven't touched mounts, LS4, PoF and Icebrood.) LS3 masteries are pretty fast. While moving to LS3 after finishing HoT and trying to to lots of events (especially the last meta steps in HoT give lots of exp.) and hearts (on LS3 maps) and all the achievements (LS3 ... there are easy, for HoT the main ones and easy ones) I already got tons of mastery points and tons of exp. Except the first masteries in Verdant Brink when starting HoT (was harder ... no easy access to WPs and to events to WP around as needed) never felt grindy to me. I have enough mastery point sto master all (except raids) and only the ones for challeging the champs and the very last steps there (adrenal mushroom, nuhoch alchemy and the gathering one in Auric basin last step) left. I recommend doing events and doing side stuff (achievements on the maps) + moving on to LS3 and doing the same thing there (get 1 new Ancient Magics mastery each map or get the next in advancde then back to HoT and level some of that while doing side stuffe/achievements in the LS3 map until moving to the next map). Worked fine for me. Also the progress saves (I did Gliding 5 and 6 while skipping back to Ancient Magics every now and then when moving to the next LS3 map.)
