Stryder.8641 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I've started working through the Masteries portion of GW2. There are periods when I don't have enough Mastert Points to unlock the next Mastery line in the one I'm working on or another line in other Masteries. The yellow XP bar along the bottom of the screen is full, the bottom corner stats are stuck (250,000/250,000) yet my character seems to still gain XP when hunting, gathering, and defeating opponents (yellow XP numbers appear and quickly fade around my character). Are the XP gains being banked and will be released when the next Mastery line is unlocked or are they being discarded? What happens to the XP gains after all the Masteries have been completed?

Khisanth.2948 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If there is nowhere else for XP to go then it goes to an hidden track that gives you a spirit shard. The same as when you have all masteries maxed except it will no longer be hidden. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Back in the days of just Heart of Thorns, that XP went nowhere. Until the devs decided that wasting all of that XP was, well... a waste. I wish they would've added the spirit shard "mastery track" to the game sooner, but they did and here we are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder.8641 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the good explanations. Later I found an answer similar to khisanth's on the wiki but it wasn't as concise and easy to understand as khisanth's answer. 👍 Edited November 14, 2022 by Stryder.8641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costepj.5120 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The post you are responding to is describing what happened after the Heart of Thorns expansion. Skill points were replaced some months before Heart of Thorns launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 It was some time either during or after Season 3 that the devs changed maxed out XP on all masteries from NOT giving spirit shards in the meantime. You'd superficially gain the XP but you wouldn't be awarded with a spirit shard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
