GW 1

I'd been thinking of this for awhile and after the BWE I decided to go for it and play GW.. I'm starting from scratch and will slowly work towards the HoM perks. Im wondering if anyone else is doing this?

I was also thinking of doin this too, so when ever I get the money to get it I'll let you know yeah :-)

I have played GW1 for many years so already have many of the perks unlocked(15/30). I just need to get a few more sets of armour, maybe get a pvp statue, and earn my eternal survivor titles then I will be done there.

I hadn't played GW since it released really... had long forgotten my account info.. :( so starting new... but I did get Nightfall and OMG so much easier then the original area.. ton of stuff to do for these points and I'm not going to kill myself over it.. if I can get a few points for the armor I'll be more then happy... its also fun to brush up on the lore and such...

if you guys are ever bored and playing look up Enoch Lowington

I have 26 HoM points - trying for 30. I've maxed out mini's and I think I have an extra undedicated Fungal Wallow if someone wants it. Would add to the count if you're trying to hit the 20/30/40/50 marks. He is not unique or rare.

If anyone has any Destroyer or Oppressor weapons lying about they don't need for HoM i'll buy them.

Kerstov Sjet in game (GW1) if you need help with title runs, or anything..

Good luck!

EDIT: I have the following minis if anyone can use them. Siege Turtle, Jade Armor and Fungal Wallow. I also have extra tapestries if you want to just post in your HoM without running all the quests. And a few Hero Armor remnants for Hero armor points. Send me a PM here if you can use anything.

I played guild wars 1 one time, for about 2 months, a long time ago. no HoM...think its to late to get any?

I think you have to have purchased the Eye of the North expansion. Then you have to be at least level 10 to get there.

But you get 3 points just for linking your accounts and there are cheap/quick ways to get a few more points.

You can check here for a guide: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_earning_Hall_of_Monuments_rewards

And here to check your current HoM points if any:

If anyone needs help with titles let me know, can pm me here or just add me in game @ Rowen Stratus. Give me something to do other than roam around aimlessly in Lion's Arch lol

17/30 for me. Currently trying to get a PvP title through z-keys and protector titles. If anyone is up for anything, send a tell my way :D

Thanks for the guides!

I've bought the Platinum Edition (Prophecies + Eye of the North) but neither of the other campaigns, and I'll work through to the 30 at least. I'm just curious -- How big a time investment are we talking to get to 30 points, starting from scratch with little to no prior knowledge of the game? Especially for somebody who sucks at PvP...

I have been playing GW1 for quite some time and still only got to 15/30 so the investment is huge (or you just need to be really lucky!)

I don't think PvP has to be a big factor in getting HoM points - unless it's really good for making $$. Many of the items can be bought from players.. the mini's, weapons, etc. So I would finish the campaigns- save your gold to buy items from players. There are also players/guilds that run dungeons for gold. Completing the dungeons gives you the title credit.

I also heard that Nightfall and Factions give better xp and you level faster than Prophecies. I leveled to 10 in post-searing Prophecies - then jumped to Eye of the North and leveled to 20 very quickly.

Also remember they have said you can still work on HoM points after GW2 launches. Maybe some GW1 if GW2 ever goes down for maintenance (blasphemous!)

** and joining a guild that runs "speedbooks" and dungeons helps a lot. GoT or Guardian of the Turtle is pretty good.

The investment is rather time consuming and to get the 30 points you do need the other campaigns, but you can get it without ever touching pvp at all. saving your cash and materials for armor and weapons.

Outside of solving the builds once you're deeper into it, its still a good 1-3 months of time (depending on your schedule) to get 30 points. Getting speed runs done from other guilds and players do help greatly if you can afford it.

I'll just echo that 30 points is a pretty big time investments, but it is possible with one campaign.

Here is a guide to 30 HoM point through various strategies.
