Does anyone do Mastery Point trains? Thanks to Bloodstone Fen my ability to fill up XP bars has far surpassed my ability to gain Mastery Points to use that XP with.

Inzombiac posted:Yeah, I work too late to ever get those trains. I'll work on it myself with a guide. Random people do HP trains fairly often, which you can find in the LFG window for whatever HoT zone they're doing. Some of them are pretty poo poo—if whoever is leading it is happy to waste everyone's time waiting for stragglers every ten steps, you should wait for another one to come around. If you can't/won't do that for whatever reason, you probably want the Dulfy guides, as they tell you which ones you will be able to solo. Many of them are difficult or impossible without a group. Harrow posted:Does anyone do Mastery Point trains? Thanks to Bloodstone Fen my ability to fill up XP bars has far surpassed my ability to gain Mastery Points to use that XP with. People probably do, but you don't need a group for them, and they don't need to be repeated on each character, so they are much less common. Dulfy has guides for them with descriptions/pictures/videos of where to get each.

I have the opposite problem. I have points to spare but my XP bar just crawls along. I've dinked around in Bloodstone Fen but it doesn't offer more XP than normal, from what I've seen. Even doing the event killing the 8 golems didn't really get me anywhere.

Inzombiac posted:I have the opposite problem. I have points to spare but my XP bar just crawls along. Bloodstone Fen just makes it really easy to do basically non-stop events. Do the Jade Constructs, check if Hablion is up (the ghost guy), fly around and do "displaced creatures" events, then just use LFG to hop between maps if it's quiet for more than a minute or two. The big map meta-events aren't on any sort of consistent timer, so it's entirely possible to finish up the big Jade Constructs/Guardian event and immediately hop to another map to do it again. I think I got like 3 million XP in two and a half hours or so just doing that on Monday, and had a pretty good time, too.

So I was starting to do research on Guild Missions, and was just curious if that really awesome post linked in the OP is still current. I glanced at Dulfy's Guild Mission guides too but I figured that smaller post would give a better minor overview before I really dig in I apologize if it's a silly question; I'm the type of player that likes to prepare/research a bunch before subjecting others to my "participation" so I just wanna make sure I'm reading the right stuff

Thanks for all the help with character creation; I went with a necromancer. I had a tons of birthday boxes when I logged into my account, so I guess I have a bunch of stuff now? I've got lvl 30 character bumps for days, 20 birthday boosters, and a bunch of consumable Luck and Karma items. I went from 0 mf and Karma to 28% and 20k respectively; I'm not sure what it's for, but those sure do seem like numbers!

For those hunting bloodstone beasts that haven't already gotten them, some advice. 1. Beasts spawn during set intervals of time. Go to a map with the beast you're looking for a couple minutes early and you're guaranteed to get it. The rotation is as follows (copied from Dulfy): Moa/Devourer (1hr)–> Arctodus/Shark (1hr)–> Wyvern (30 min) –> Break (30 min) If it's near the end of the hour, face downhill (so the beast isn't stuck in terrain) and use your detector. Go to the next thing in the cycle. 2. Beast spawns are not found in one place (with some minor exceptions) so stop bothering with the waypoints in the dulfy guide. Bloodstone beasts spawn in the place of regular mobs of that type when they are killed anywhere in the zone. I triggered both the wyvern and shark this way. The waypoints are decent for getting you to a location where lots of the proper kind of mob will spawn, but it isn't guaranteed that you'll get it by that waypoint. 3. Apparently tonight's update added this: Current Events: Levvi’s Device has been updated to indicate when a legendary bloodstone-crazed creature has recently been killed in the map. Note that you can spawn beasts several times on the same map. I think they're on a ten minute cooldown or something close to that. 4. The beasts are legendary status so they don't die super fast. In most cases you'll have about 5-6 minutes to reach the fight and tag the beast. 5. The stuff you get from the collections isn't incredible, but it's nice to have options. At least one person has done something pretty rad with it.  6. Don't bother hunting arctodus in Gendarran fields. The only place they exist there is the Battle Pit location in the NE part of the map, and the only players that can spawn and fight them are players that haven't done the heart yet. This is great for easily spawning them fast if you haven't done the heart, but not great if you have because you can't even get into the cage to participate in the fight if you don't have aoe that can reach it from outside. This is pretty silly, I agree.

Alot of Dentists get to start missions so just ask in guild chat and we'll help out. You should be able to get all these each week: - Easy bounty (Trilla and Poobaadoo aren't that challanging) - Trek, Hard Trek best Trek  - All Races/Rushes, buy some Mango Pies for more regen and stack Swiftness if possible. This should net atleast 6 commendation each week, getting those sweet sweet Ascended Accessories

Just ask in gchat, if any officer is on and paying attention, they'll start it for you. None of the instanced ones are soloable, so the most they'd have to do is start an actual rush event if another guild hasn't got it going already.
