[Guild Wars] You can still get Hall of Monument rewards for GW2
Posts
Anyway, I guess I have to try one of those other strategies. It is just really annoying to go through that whole mission only to fail at the last moment...
If you want to use knockdown to take out Shiro, add Wanderlust and Earthbind (and Stonefist Insignia) to your overall build. A single knockdown doesn't work against Shiro because Impossible Odds pops out in 1/4 of a second and it recharges every 5 seconds (and you need a minimum of 3 seconds knockdown to even get it off), but adding Wanderlust and Earthbind means your knockdowns occur repeatedly, without the need for manual control, and for long enough that he'll basically get quarterknocked into oblivion.
first of all, love your avatar
second, what's your username?
Of course I became interested in GW2, so I started playing these in the hopes of getting some HoM points.
Could not be more overwhelmed. Every guide I read just makes me more confused. Starting to think I should completely ignore HoM until I've completed all 3 campaigns plus EotN, and then if there's still time, worry about it then. Otherwise I might be turning a game into work here...
want to join our guild? it's semi-active and people can answer questions/help out
Sure, that'd be much appreciated, thank you.
I'll probably be playing tonight around 7 or 8 est; shall I message someone in particular?
i tried sending an invite now but i couldn't because you're already in a guild
in game you gotta go to the guild menu (G), click the little icon to the left of your username in the roster, then hit Leave My Guild
and then someone here'll hook you up
Oh right, forgot about that. Tis a guild composed of just me at this point, heh.
Actually, I have a sec, I will log in and leave the guild right now, and then the invite can be resent whenever.
Mini pets (5 points):
For the most part, miniatures will be purchased from other players, or received from birthday presents your characters have accumulated over the years. Your goal here would be to secure 18 minatures that are white or purple (common or uncommon). Undedicated year one whites go for 2-3k each, and year twos go for 5kish each. You will then need to purchase one undedicated rare (gold) miniature, and they generally cost around 50kish, depending on which one. You can then complete the Black Moa Chick questline to received a free unique (green) miniature. This will give you 20 minis, with 1 rare, and 1 unique, for five points.
Heroes with Armour (8 points):
Work to secure access to every hero listed on the monument. Each one can have their armour upgraded cosmetically via a special item. For Nightfall heroes, there are a selection of challenge missions that reward armour scraps. Using these scraps you can upgrade each hero's armour. Once their armour is upgraded, they can be dedicated to the hall of monuments for points. These scraps can also be purchased if you're in a hurry or can't do a corresponding challenge mission. Generally a scrap will go for 5-10kish depending on which it is. There are also 4 pets that can be dedicated in the Hall. The Black Moa, the Imperial Phoenix, the Black Widow Spider, and any other level 20 pet. There's a questline to spawn the Black Moa for taming, the phoenix is available to tame after finishing the last Factions mission, the Black Widow is easy to acquire once you have an established hero team and build, and leveling any other pet to 20 is simple.
Titles (9 points):
You will need to work on acquiring 10 different titles to put in your Hall of Monuments. Suggestions include: 3 titles, one for finishing each campaign (Hero of). 3 titles, one for finishing each mission with bonus/master reward (Protector of). 3 titles, one for vanquishing each campaign's explorable areas on hard mode (Vanquisher of). 1 title for finishing Sorrow's Furnace (Eternal Conquerer of Sorrow's Furnace). 3 titles, one for finishing each campaign mission on hard mode with bonus/master reward (Guardian of). 1 title for acquiring all Protector/Guardian titles (Legendary Guardian). 1 title for acquiring all Vanquisher titles (Legendary Vanquisher).
Those are just some of the easier suggestions. Do whatever works best for you.
Armor (5 points):
Purchase 4 sets of Prestige Armor. Go for whichever ones are cheapest for you that are not Obsidian, Vabbian, Kurzick, or Luxon armor. You only need to purchase the boots, legs, chest, and gloves of any particular set to dedicate it to your Hall of Monuments. The largest expense will be the crafting cost (typically 10k per piece or more). You also need to purchase a set of Kurzick or Luxon armor. The special materials for this set can be purchased as normal, or can be earned by competing in Factions reputation farming and trading the reputation for the special materials (Jadeite shards for luxon, Amber for kurzicks).
Weapons (3 points):
After completing the 3 campaigns and Eye of the North, complete the War in Kryta bonus content. By following through that questline, you will earn an Oppressor weapon. Assemble the materials/gold to purchase a Destroyer weapon. Materials-wise, these cost around 70k at the moment, though prices to fluctuate based on demand.
There, that gets you 30 points easily. Of course you can vary the approach up, say acquire more titles to get more points there so you don't have to buy as many things, but it's up to you. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, I'm happy to help.

I would say, though, that you shouldn't get too caught up in doing non-plotline quests, because if you go down that rabbit hole you'll come out six months from now, wondering where the fuck you've been/
By the time you finish a campaign that should be enough time to learn the game.
there's a couple others that are SLIGHTLY more esoteric, but there's a little victory area when you beat nightfall and it includes all of the possible heroes and they all have quests called "Gain ____" where you just talk to one npc and then you get the hero

But untill you get solid builds on them, the heroes are much more pitiful.
My character is Raina Spiritwind

it was boring
but it got the job done
Also requires nightfall
Forgot to include in the other post, char name is Nahka Krustov.

Either would rock. I'm working on sorrow's furnace now, then willl probably go work on leveling some pets for HoM, so it's ok by me to stall out WiK for a day or two.
Yes. They are for HoM titles that you are incredibly unlikely to ever reach (1 million gold or so required). Instead, sell them now and put them towards armors you CAN afford.
Oh man, I should have bit the bullet and sold the ones I had instead of just mindlessly comping on them. I hate selling things that don't go on vendors in GW, though. Freaking Spamadan.
I know it costs about 2k plat for each one, but that's only if you buy all the stuff you need, I imagine it's a lot easier if you just drink/eat all the consumables you need as you play through all the events.
The way I'm seeing it: it's easy if you started last year, if you're only just starting out they are needlessly big grinds.
