Riven xp

[(XBOX)JK Hoss4282 3]

So why does breaking a riven open not award Xp to the mastery rank? Even thought I broke a riven yesterday and the Xp to middle master didn't change still 27,879.  What does this 5,000 Xp goes towards. If nothing it should be removed then.

As far as I know, that's just affinity. If you have all your loadout maxed, it won't make much of a difference

the xp goes into your weapons. if it went to MR, than you would have made mr30, and even 40, possible a WHILE ago

It goes towards leveling up your loadout, not your overall mastery.

its just like all the other in mission mini objectives, it gives affinity to your equipped items.

You got a lot of things wrong. Only weapons, warframes, and other leveling items you can equip give mastery points. These level up with exp points and give mastery points. Each level gives different levels of mastery points to weapon, warframe or pet.

That awarded XP is just affinity. Good if you have gear in the midst of leveling up else it's trash. Questioned DE why but they didn't give a damn.

it goes towards weapon, even if a weapon is maxed it still gains xp

I mean... it's a reasonably inconsequential bonus reward for a simple task, doesn't really need a reason beyond that, but we have lenses to extend the value of affinity (even if you eventually cap that out too)
