Cant progress in Path of FIre

[DawgBountyHunter.1874]

I'm at the point where you need to purchase the large bunny mount. I cant get the raptor large jumping ability because i need more of those marks...not mastery points, but path of fire points to purchase the ability. I dont know how to get more of them...i'm at chapter 4 of path of fire and am completely stuck! I dont know how to get more of those points other than repeating the past chapters and i dont really want to do that because its tired old boring content. Should I just do fractals or dungeons for those 3 points i need to purchase the raptor jumping ability?

This makes me just not want to play the game anymore. That's a shame because GW2 is a good mmo.

Well, you need Experience and Mastery Points to unlock masteries. I assume Experience isn't the issue, so it can only be Mastery Points that have you stuck. You get some from the story, but you can't repeat those to get more. What you need to do is get the Mastery Points you find in the open world maps. There should be enough accessible Mastery Points for you to get the 3rd raptor ability to get to the bunny ranch. You could even ask for help in map chat to get to some of them, or some you might not be able to get to yourself yet.

[Khisanth.2948]

Those are Path of Fire mastery points. You can only get those in PoF so fractals and dungeons would be useless. There are plenty of points around.

Oh there are mastery points littered on the map? Like very hidden areas? As for not being able to get more mastery points via repeated chapters...As I look at the prior chapters, they each say 2/3 points earned. So it seems i can get the three i need from repeating the past first 3 chapters. I really would rather not repeat the prior chapters.

Ya they're all over the place. Just wander around the map. You have way more than you need. Go south on the maps if you really can't find any where you are.

If you're really confused you can always "cheat" and look at the wiki maps.

[Khisanth.2948]

Repeating by itself will not get you anything. Completing the achievements associated will get you the point.

There are at least two easy points near Amnoon. One in the Bay of Elon. You just swim up to it and commune. There is one just east of Amnoon's gate that requires jumping up/across some buildings.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

They show up on the maps, as well.Here's a list: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery_point_unlocks#Path_of_Fire_mastery_points

Good luck.

[Khisanth.2948]

Oh and if you are at chapter 4(The Sacrifice) the reason you are at 2/3 is because the third point is from completing "The Sacrifice".

[Tanner Blackfeather.6509]

There is also achievements that give MPs, easily available to you is Reins of the Raptor and Crystal Oasis Bounty Tour.

The ones available in the landscape without other mounts than Raptor are:

• In the water west of Amnoon.
• On a rooftop in eastern Amnoon.
• The "Pot of Soup" challenge in Amnoon. I've skipped this one.
• The Memory game at an old teleporter west of the entrance to Desert Highlands.

Are you sure you dont mean mastery points?

Or do you mean trade contracs?Trade contracts can be found all over the path of fire expansion Area.

[LucianDK.8615]

It is very tight and difficult in the beginning to get the needed mastery point so you can progress. But if you have some teleport to friends, you can pop to someone whom have reached mastery points you yourself cant reach yet to get over the hurdle.

You don't have to repeat anything, just grab the mastery points on the PoF maps, most of the time you just have to walk to them or do a small task. They look like this on the map:

[Manasa Devi.7958]

You need 6 points to get raptor mastery 3. There are at least 8 you can easily get before that. You just have to look for them, in the game or on the web if you're stuck.

This topic hasnt been opened in a long time. So i decided to add something because i was stuck as well. Now that i now the solution it was a bit dumb, but i think most people might have the same problem. I just needed 1 more mastery insight to get my canyon jumping for my raptor to progress further. I did all the "easy" obtainable mastery insights on the map. But then i got stuck because all the other mastery points on the map i could not achieve with my raptor alone. Then i looked into my path of fire story( "H" key -> achievements) but i noticed i had all the mastery points there as well. I did not notice there was also another track which gave mastery insight which is just called "Path of fire" in your achievements. I did a easy one called "Reigns of the Raptor" to get the last point and get my canyon jumping.

I think the main problem is that i expected mastery points to be only obtainable by map exploring, which is obviously wrong. But because Guild Wars 2 is a pretty steep learning curve game with many materials and different complex systems, i just couldn't fathom this until a few hours of research and perseverance.

Two points, 1. You can filter for mastery points in the search on the achievements page now. That was added several patches back, if I recall correctly. 2. You may find gw2efficiency.com helpful in data mining your account for achievements for masteries and such. You do have to create an account there and plug in an API key from your Anet account (instructions for that are on the site), but, the information and benefit gained is beyond worth the trouble to do so.

[vandrefalk.6823]

There are various Mastery Insights around the maps too, spots almost like Hero Challenges, that you can commune with to gain 1 mastery point. These can also be gained in Living Season 4 maps, if you have LS4 unlocked.

I really didn't want to play the story but I was one mastery short of canyon jumping, so story it was and it was very frustrating. I must have died 20 times before that darn fear spamming boss went down.

Yeah, I don't even think about running around either of the expansion maps without a stun break. You can still get caught flat-footed sometimes, but, it makes all the difference in the world.
