Also found in Boss Chests[edit]

Specifically the boss chests of the Wrathbringer and Sulypix. 5 pieces of Branded Mass each. How to add to the "Gathered from" section of the article? --Messenger (talk) 07:40, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Since the drops are recorded on the event page, I added it under 'other'. —Ventriloquist 20:58, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Need tons[edit]

Since you'll need nearly three grand of these things, you may be wondering how to get them quickly.

  • If you don't want to run around, you can buy 5 directly in Dragonfall. Mining the home instance node will get you another three per day. It's severely limited but the fastest way to get them.
  • The fastest way to get a lot of Branded Masses is to make chest runs in Bjora Marches and convert the Eternal Ice Shards you receive there into Branded Masses at one of the karma vendors. The chests of Resilience, Valor and Vigilance are your primary sources for Ice Shards. Norn Chests and Glorious Norn Chests will give a handful per day and you can mine Eternal Ice nodes that you encounter for a few more. You can earn 80-100 masses daily this way.
    • Light puzzles in Bjora Marches will spawn the lucrative chests, but are very time consuming.
  • The second fastest means of getting lots of Branded Masses is to run each of the strike missions and open the weekly reward chest, then convert the Eternal Ice Shards you earn there.
  • Mining Dragon Crystal Nodes in Thunderhead Peaks is limited to 25 nodes per day. These tend to be far apart and prove to to be fairly slow.
  • Chest runs in Thunderhead Peaks will net you ~25 masses per day. These are guaranteed and anchored in place, but very far apart and time consuming.
    • Hidden chests in the Dwarven Catacombs will grant a total of ~5-18 additional Branded Masses. These require either doing both map metas or buying the key pieces off of the trading post, and aren't greatly reliable.
  • Each of the hearts in Thunderhead Peaks will offer 5 Branded Masses daily per character per completion. Time consuming but reliable.
  • The Thunderhead Peaks map metas will get you 5 Branded Masses each as well as spawn a few bonus Dragon Crystal Nodes if you haven't reached your daily limit already. Both rely on the availability of other players and time of day.
