Mastery XP issue?
Hey everyone,

I've noticed that since I've done the reset modular a few times, my mastery is not going up at all compared to friends who have NOT done the reset modular but ARE level 40 already getting buckets load of mastery XP.

I am using weapons that I do not normally use to level up and it seems to just be stuck unless I do missions.

Anyone got a way or idea how to farm or increase the mastery XP quicker? I've been stuck at level 10 for ages. I've done the "prestige" a few times and noticed since I've done this, mastery has stopped almost.

I have friends who have not done this reset modular and are standard 40 getting lots of XP. Not sure why or what but it's frustrating and strange.

Thank you.

Next time when the game explains ♥♥♥♥ to you read it. It tells you that you only get MR, OBVIOUSLY, for leveling ♥♥♥♥ for the very first time.

Like cmon bro, what's that question.
you only earn mastery from any weapon or descendant once. To keep going up, you have to level new stuff.

Mastery xp is only gained by leveling up new descendants and weapons to lvl 40 the first time, and a mission reward on hard mode. If you slot anything/ reset it it will no longer gain you mastery xp. Your primary weapon and descendant gain 100%xp no matter how you kill them. the 2 other weapon slots not being out gain 20% of that xp. so make sure a new gun is in your primary weapon slot to level faster.

The game explains this to you, that you only get the mastery XP the first time you level anything to 40, otherwise you get nothing from it.

It's to give you an incentive to try new things, and higher rank is better

Okay, now explain this to me.

Mastery is level 10 30,198 XP. I removed my guns and put on a level 1 gun, it went up 10 levels with being proficient and yet, the mastery level remained exactly the same, no budge...

So saying "Levelling weapons up" clearly doesn't work.

You only get the mastery rank experience by leveling up things for the very first time. If you reset it by changing a slot on it as example it won't effect the mastery level, just the weapon prof. level. You must in order to obtain more mastery rank experience, level up a new weapon or character that you have yet to hit rank 40 on. Also, not sure if it helps but you can gain a small amount of it via hard mode missions (I believe).
It holds true to the system in place on warframe which is where they got it from. It gives people more reason to farm and level up/try out all of the things in order to reach the higher mastery ranks.

You get MR XP for leveling up the FIRST TIME for a weapon/descendant. It's the exact same system as in warframe

The only reason you'll want to level up descendants/weapons again is so you can modify socket affinity because that requires a level 40 weapon/descendant

Mastery Level 23 here.
Leveling weapons the first time is the biggest income of XP

have a nice day

Super weirdly aggressive for being wrong about what the game tells you. You are right that's how it works, but outside of potentially the first time the game explains MEXP (idr that popup tbh) when you hover over your MEXP bar in the inventory window it definitely does not mention "for the first time". As for it being obvious that it's for the first time? Why would it be? The idea of that being a good design option is subjective at best, and objectively wrong at worst. Doesn't seem very obvious to me.

So before getting weirdly angry at strangers on the internet, maybe give people the benefit of the doubt.

i agree, the game doesn't say for the first time, it' just says you can level it by doing missions, rising weapon proficiency or leveling up your descendant....is very generic, and i guess most of you know this because played warframe, but for who didn't is clear this needs to be clarified. So don't assume people has played warframe 100%
