Most efficient Talent mastery farm?

[Ballsymcnutt]

Title, just curious what the most efficient way to farm mastery is.

[Rheast]

I'd say survival mode on the highest difficulty.
I already have one talent on max level 10.

[Calm Koala]

I do default (no challenges) world D runs in Rog's mode. The run itself takes about 25 minutes, but you have to add loading time and card/artifact selections, and it gives usually between 2-2,6k talent points (depending mostly on your level).

[Animus]

Highest mode survival with all of the survival challenges completed. That boosts the time differential so you collect more than you played for.

[Shiroe (cortana)]

survival barely gives exp...
if you want exp, go rog mode.

roughly 310 exp on a talent on survival for surviving 9 days, and roughly 1,1k for a 30 min D world rog.
So yeah..

Backing up what others have said, D rank Rog mode is the way to go. I also learned that using a weapon talent grants weapon talent xp. I'm fairly certain the flask/vial pick ups give passive xp (not 100% sure tho). Make sure you're not capping your weapon talent bar if you're really trying to minmax gains.

Yup. D Rank, spam abilities, sticking to 1 weapon on a run seemed to give more talent xp, but honestly who knows what variables were at play.

Now that I tested it I'm not sure what's happening. I went for the RiskReward, high corruption run with shaman staff talent to try to test the xp gain. D rogs, all soulshop upgrades. Sun+Solar wind stones. Upgraded my weapon to arcanist staff by like level 8 world 1.

Got 3.1k talent xp. Including Shaman staff which started at 0.


**EDIT** I took the broken statue on world 3 just before the mid boss. I would absolutely not recommend picking it up until you certain of your dominance

Haha, yeah, broken statue surprised me when I took it the first time. It takes in to account all previous stages in it's calculations instead of starting with when you picked it up (like the food artifacts that only take into account food picked up after you get the artifact), so it can be a sudden jump in difficulty.
