notebene.3190 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Will there be any new mastery points before the end, or is what we see what we get?I just need one more. "Do 50" or "Do 100" DRMs would be fine. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sajuuk Khar.1509 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 There will probably be more mastery points added with chapter 4. They have added several each chapter so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jong.5937 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Unless Anet chip in we will need to wait and see, but I think it almost certain there will be more. There are two more of these supporter events to go after this one, which I expect will include new actual content ;). And then we have the finale. Gotta be some mastery points in that!

Jong.5937 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Well I kinda assumed there must be something new in those events! We have only had 2 events per set of DRMs so far. But, yeah, maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It’s just a cheap way for Anet to get people back to doing DRMs or whatever is tied to the dailies. Think of it as filler “content”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'm short one Mastery Point for the last tier of the Dragon Slayer Mastery as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos.3695 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 You can still get mastery points from previous chapters tho.The last two masteries of Dragon Slayer requires a total of 9 points, I still have 14 left and 2 to get from achievements, so there are 7 extra around.If the last chapter will introduce a new mastery, and I don't think so, I'll agree with you, but right now you can easily get your points.

LucianDK.8615 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I expect there will be more DRM mastery pickups for the next episode. So I am not too fussed about still missing two to fill out the final one. But I hope we soon will be done with this micro content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Yeah, the CMs and Strike Missions are outside of my purview. Outside of the 8 points for raiding, it would be nice to know if the model moving forward will be further division in that respect.So I have everything except:1 - Legendary Whisper of Jormag - Shadow in the Ice2 - Morale Breaker - No QuarterThe reset are all from Champions:1 - Volcanic Stormcaller Armaments Collector - I have only 1 weapon. Never gotten another drop. Pretty expensive to buy.1 - Friendly Fire (I think that's a CM)1 - Killer Waves (CM)1 - No More Sacrifices (CM)1 - Shooting Stars (CM)Not looking for a free ride. I remember one from HoT where you had to do 100 metas. Not even sure that was for an MP or not, might have just been a chieve. I'd be fine with a slugfest like that to get 1 more MP. Or some new Public-side achievements. Maybe a 'Lead Chickens to their Demise', or something? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Killer Waves and Shooting Stars are easily soloed. You only need to activate the boss challenge for them. You only need to avoid AoE effects with a very long telegraph. You can even cheese Shooting Stars by tossing deldrimor acid at the fissures from on top of a skyscale.

How is that different from the other challenges? Can that be done joining a public, or do I need to solo a private? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can that be done joining a public, or do I need to solo a private?You need to do it in a private run, solo or with a group. Private runs have a guy near the starting point with a red flag over his head. Talk to him for the challenge options, one of which is "enemy champions gain strength". That's the one you want for those achievements. The end boss of the mission will be harder to kill, so it'll take a little longer. For these 2 achievements, you only need to do that, and avoid certain attacks. Really not that hard, I managed both in 1 try and I'm not some pro super elite dude.

Fueki.4753 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Arenanet could simply add an achievement that is complete once all supporter achievements (the ones about buying 10 supply boxes) are completed.This could give us an easy and inexpensive Mastery Point.

ugrakarma.9416 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 i got last, but im dried out, and im near completing ALL previous chapters achievments. but still there 2 on maps, i missed out, i will try later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 As an addendum, No More Sacrifices is also pretty easy to do solo. (I hadn't tried it before yesterday so I couldn't mention it earlier.) Just make sure to have a lot of CC ready to unleash at every 25% health interval of the boss.In conclusion, that's 3 low treshold mastery points that I noticed a lot of people seem to discount because the achievement mentions they need to be done with an active challenge.

LucianDK.8615 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Got Killer Waves and No More Sacrifices on first try. Shooting stars was too hard to do. But I now have 5 icebrood mastery points ready for the final tier!Dont care for extra emotes. So I am done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the last chapter added no mastery points or no easy mastery points, this is just wrong, on both fronts. They have made Volcanic Stormcaller weapons pretty trivial to get (three a week for seals). There were two for basically just doing the last episode of the story, two for just dodging some of Jormag and Primordous's attacks and another (maybe too elitist?!) for doing DRMs. There are now 76 possible mastery points and only 63 needed to obtain all IBS masteries. Plenty of opportunity for people to "play as they want". Edited May 2, 2021 by Jong.5937 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidel.2057 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 mastery points were previously very trivial to get. This allowed us to play content and unlock every mastery without thinking too much about it. Now I regret unlocking masteries from the first part of the expansion because I'm basically locked out of Dragonstorm rare drops until I go back to old maps (that are now less populated) to farm old mastery points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a pain point I noticed and pointed out at the beginning of the IBS. I like the map Bjora Marches, but I didn't like the fact that you needed the essence masteries to get loot even if you participate in the meta event. It felt like a punishment in that case instead of horizontal progression and a reward for playing. It might not be so much of an issue now that most players should have those masteries by now but it is something I hope Arenanet avoids in the future. These sort of masteries should reward players more for having them to the highest tier, not block them for not having the correct level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
