"Valor" — Weapons — 8 points

New page

[[File:HoM Points.png|thumb|right|250px|A [[Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator]] with max points.]]
This is a guide to help players organize and achieve their [[Hall of Monuments]] goals.

==About the Hall of Monuments==
The Hall of Monuments is located in the [[Eye of the North (outpost)|Eye of the North]], in the [[Guild Wars Eye of the North|eponymous expansion]].

There are 5 [[Hall of Monuments#Monuments|monuments]] in the Hall that players can dedicate their achievements to. These give the player points which unlock free-to-apply skins, charmable pets and titles for the ''Guild Wars 2'' account.

50 points in total can be earned, with unique titles unlocked at every 5th point (5,10,15...50). The first 30 points reward weapon, armor skins and/or pets.

Achievements are account based, so if only one character dedicates something it will be unlocked for all the characters of the same account. However dedicating weapons will customize them to the current character, so you should be careful about this. Dedicated miniatures also cannot be reused for another account's Hall of Monuments.

==A warning==
You should decide on the amount of points you wish to achieve.
* 30 points is rather easy to acquire and will unlock every reward item as well as a few titles. Any campaign along with Eye of the North can earn 30 points. See [[Guide to earning Hall of Monuments rewards#Limited campaigns|below]] for the total points available with only one campaign.
* Getting more points will unlock new titles, but getting those points will become gradually longer and harder. The achievements span all three campaigns and Eye of the North, so all of the campaigns are required to reach 50 points.

For all 50 points, you will need:
* A very long playtime (several months if not years), as filling the "Honor" monument requires a variety of titles, most of which require active playthrough.
** Guardian and Master of the North titles require finishing all missions in Normal and Hard mode with bonus.
** Cartography and Vanquisher require almost complete exploration of all 121 maps of the three starting expansions, including killing all the foes in Hard Mode for vanquisher.
** If done on one character, consider acquiring the [[God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals]] title at the same time, since it also provides its own duplicate title in Guild Wars 2.
* A very high amount of platinum and crafting materials, likely more than 4400k.
** The obsidian armor is notoriously expensive (105 ecto and 105 obsidian shards can cost 1500k assuming a market price of 9k/ecto and 5k/shard). The plethora of armors and weapons required to fill the Resilience and Valor monuments can add up to 670k easily (6 armors worth at least 60k each, 14 weapons easily worth around 15-20k each, as well as 80 jadeite or amber for kurzick/luxon armor as well as 14 rubies and 14 sapphire for vabbian armor which can add up to an additional 100k). Thanks to the introduction of the [[Reverie Gift]], you can acquire one of the tormented weapons without the very expensive [[Armbrace of Truth]] (which otherwise can cost over 500k depending on market's price).
** Some titles in the Honor monument are also expensive, notably the Zaishen title (1000k assuming a key costs 5k) and Sweet Tooth, Drunkard, Party Animal (each around 300-350k/title if buying the consumables from players). Other "minor" costs include elite Skill Hunter at min. 250k if only buying signets of capture at 1k/each, and Lucky/Unlucky (around 80k for rank 2 in both using Nine Rings and Rings of Fortune).

==Acquiring points==
===Getting started===
Make life easier, start by unlocking [[map travel]] and [[Guide to Hero Basics and Optimization#Recruitment by region|heroes]]. Beat all three campaigns and ''Eye of the North'' in [[normal mode]], making sure to get all masters reward and bonuses for each mission (for [[Protector]] titles/statues). Beating a campaign will unlock [[Hard Mode]] for the campaign.
<br />Beat the campaigns in this order:
*''Eye of the North'' ([[List of Eye of the North primary quests|primary storyline guide]])
:Perks: Short, good heroes, good PvE skills, opens up your Hall of Monuments via the four [[Monumental Tapestry|Monumental Tapestries]]
*''Nightfall'' ([[List of Nightfall missions|primary storyline guide]])
:Perks: more heroes and PvE skills
*''Factions'' ([[List of Factions missions and primary quests|primary storyline guide]])
:Perks: Short, a few more PvE skills, unlocks locations required for [[Winds of Change]]
*''Prophecies'' ([[List of Prophecies missions|primary storyline guide]])
:Perks: unlock locations required for [[War in Kryta]] and [[Hearts of the North]]

Alternatively, travel to Elona before going any further in Eye of the North storyline, as most of the heroes can be acquired early during the Nightfall storyline. This includes heroes such as [[Acolyte Sousuke]]/[[Acolyte Jin]] and [[Olias]]. In addition, the sunspear PvE skills, which include [[Critical Agility]], [[Seed of Life]], [[Cry of Pain]], [[Necrosis]], [[Whirlwind Attack]] and [[Vampirism]], are very good.

Martial professions may be interested in completing Factions earlier because of the skill [["Save Yourselves!"]]. Paragon, Warriors and assassins can also acquire the skills [[Spear of Fury]], [[Seven Weapons Stance]] and [[Shadow Theft]] respectively. Ritualists may be also interested to get [[Summon Spirits]] and capture [[Signet of Spirits]] as part of their [[Spirit spammer]] builds (although Signet of Spirits can be acquired [[Elite Tome|another way]]).

Characters hailing from prophecies may also want to go to the [[Crystal Desert]] early in order to get [[Ascended]] and do their [[attribute point quest]]s.

===[["Fellowship"]] — Heroes and pets — 8 points===
[[File:"Fellowship".jpg|right|125px]]
At this point you should have a minimum of 13 out of 26 required heroes. Now you need to:
*Recruit the other 9 [[Heros#Recruitment_by_region|heroes]] that have Hall of Monument statues. Every one of these heroes other than M.O.X. will need [[Hero armor]] before they can be added to your Hall of Monuments. It should be noted that Keiran, Miku, and Zei Ri cannot be added to the Hall of Monuments.
You can buy them all from other players, or farm them yourself from these locations:
*''Eye of the North'' heroes:
**1-10 [[Deldrimor Armor Remnant]]s from [[Slavers' Exile]]
**1-10 [[Cloth of the Brotherhood]]s from [[Glint's Challenge]]
*''Nightfall'' heroes:
**1-5 [[Stolen Sunspear Armor]]s from [[Dajkah Inlet]]
**1-5 [[Ancient Armor Remnant]]s from [[Remains of Sahlahja]]
**1-5 [[Mysterious Armor Piece]]s from [[The Shadow Nexus]]
**1-15 [[Primeval Armor Remnant]]s from the [[Domain of Anguish]]
*Charm or pay to unlock the [[Black Moa]], [[Phoenix (pet)|Imperial Phoenix]] and [[Black Widow]].
** Both the Black Moa and Black Widow can be charmed at level 20
** You can [[Death leveling#Pet leveling|death level]] pets to level 20 in 15 minutes or less ([[AFK]] process). (See: [https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_3_Hero_AFK_Pet_Death_Level PvX]).

===[["Valor"]] — Weapons — 8 points===
[[File:"Valor".jpg|right|125px]]
A total of 15 weapons, including one of each type, are required for maximum points. You can also purchase the weapons (or their crafting/collection components) from other players.
*1-11 [[:Category:Tormented weapons|Tormented weapons]]
**Farm [[Gemstone]]s to create [[Armbrace of Truth|Armbraces of Truth]] in the [[Domain of Anguish]].
**Complete the [[Wayfarer's Reverie]] quests for a [[Reverie Gift]].
*1-11 [[:Category:Oppressor's weapons|Oppressor's weapons]]
**Complete the [[War in Kryta]] and [[Hearts of the North]], which will earn you 15 [[Medal of Honor|Medals of Honor]], at least enough [[War Supplies]] for 2 more, and an average of 2-3 more from [[Royal Gift]]s (totaling enough for 2 weapons usually).
**Medals of Honor are not tradeable, but [[War Supplies]] are; 25 supplies convert to 1 medal.
**Farm War Supplies through the [[Wanted by the Shining Blade|Wanted]] quests. These can be done on all characters that have unlocked [[Lion's Arch Keep]].
***You can collect 255 War Supplies in three weeks by having one character complete each of the quests in Hard mode.
***Alternatively, repeat [[Rise]] and/or [[Auspicious Beginnings]] 50 times to earn enough for one weapon (which offers the additional benefit of increasing your [[Ebon Vanguard rank]] by 62,500 points).
*1-11 [[:Category:Destroyer weapons|Destroyer weapons]]
**These are by far the cheapest weapons to craft or to buy from other players.
**Farm the materials needed and craft the weapons in [[Slavers' Exile]].

===[["Devotion"]] — Miniatures — 8 points===
[[File:"Devotion".jpg|right|125px]]
Undedicated [[miniature]]s can be purchased from other players. The cheapest ''unded'' minis are the [[item rarity|common]] (or ''white'') ones from the first three years, although some ''early'' purples are cheaper than later-year whites. You could also buy [[Birthday Present]]s (from any year but the sixth), but they tend to be significantly more expensive (since they offer a chance of gold or green minis).
;1 Unique (Green) Mini
*Random drop from Birthday Presents, [[Gift of the Traveler|Gifts of the Traveler]], [[Underworld Chest]], [[Hall of Heroes]], [[Coffer of Whispers]].
*Extremely rare drop from [[White Mantle]] and [[Peacekeeper]]s (during War in Kryta).
*[[Black Moa Chick]] — a cross campaign [[Black Moa Chick#Scavenger details|scavenger hunt]].
;1 Rare (Gold) Mini
*One out of the 12 celestial miniatures can be traded for a [[Celestial Miniature Token]] (can be acquired once per year per account as a reward from the quest [[Take My Sister, Please]] during [[Canthan New Year]] event)
*A [[Miniature World-Famous Racing Beetle]] can be acquired by trading 200 [[Racing Medal]]s to [[Little Jack]] (requires at least 20 races in [[Rollerbeetle Racing]], available only during [[Shing Jea Boardwalk]] events)
*Random drop from Birthday Presents, [[Royal Gift]]s, Gifts of the Traveler, Underworld Chest, [[Zaishen Strongbox]]es, and [[Lunar Fortune]]s.
;Remaining 48 minis
*Cheapest: purchase early-year whites from other players.
*Any of the above methods.{{clear}}

===[["Resilience"]] — Armor — 8 points===
[[File:"Resilience".jpg|right|125px]]
Aside from any four [[prestige armor]] sets, three specific sets are required, making the seven needed to max out the monument. To cut down on the cash needed, you can farm any required materials. The most costly needed materials will be:
*[[Glob of Ectoplasm|Globs of Ectoplasm]] and [[Obsidian Shard]]s for [[Obsidian armor]]
**Farm Ectos in [[the Underworld]].
**Farm Obsidian Shards in [[the Fissure of Woe]].
*[[Ruby|Rubies]] and [[Sapphire]]s for [[Vabbian armor]]
*[[Jadeite Shard]]s (purchasable with [[Luxon faction]]) for [[Luxon armor#Elite|Elite Luxon armor]] or [[Amber Chunk]]s (purchasable with [[Kurzick faction]]) for [[Kurzick armor#Elite|Elite Kurzick armor]]
**[[Vanquish]] under the [[Blessing of the Luxons]]/[[Blessing of the Kurzicks|Kurzicks]].
**Compete in [[Fort Aspenwood]], [[The Jade Quarry]], and [[Alliance Battle]]s for [[Imperial faction]] which can be traded in for either faction.

===[["Honor"]] — Titles and additional statues — 18 points===
[[File:"Honor".jpg|right|125px]]
The majority of titles have synergy with one another. Read the [[Kind of a Big Deal#Guide to maxing titles|Guide to maxing titles]] for an overview of most [[Player versus Environment|PvE]] titles. Not all titles need to be maxed to display their statues in the Hall of Monuments.

In addition to character-based titles, such as [[Cartographer]] and [[Guardian (title)|Guardian]], you will need one [[Player versus Player]] title.
*The [[Zaishen rank|Zaishen]] statue is easier to earn than the others. It takes only 1,000 points (or 200 [[Zaishen Key]]s) to get the rank 3 needed to display the statue.
**Farm [[Balthazar faction]] for Zaishen Keys in [[Heroes' Ascent]] or [[Zaishen Elite]].
**Farm [[Imperial faction]] and trade it in for Balthazar faction. (The formats that offer Imperial faction also reward Balthazar faction).
**Buy Zaishen Keys from other players.
Elite missions also provide a statue upon first completion:
*[[Sorrow's Furnace]]
*[[The Deep]]
*[[Urgoz's Warren]]
*[[The Fissure of Woe]]
*[[Domain of Anguish]]
*[[The Underworld]]

==Efficient order for gathering 30 points==
This plan tries to limit the cost and time required to get 30 points:
*'''3 points''' — Accounts linked.
*'''5 points''' — Beat all 3 campaigns, getting Protector title in at least two of them, or one Protector and one elite mission ([[Sorrow's Furnace]] and [[The Fissure of Woe]] are easier than the others)
*'''6 points''' — 9 Heroes and rare pets, including [[M.O.X.]] and at least one rare pet (which gives both that statue and the normal pet statue)
*'''3 points''' — 1 unique and 1 rare [[miniature]].
*'''5 points''' — 5 Prestige armor sets (one must be [[Elite Luxon]], [[Elite Kurzick]], [[Vabbian armor|Vabbian]] or [[Obsidian armor|Obsidian armor]]) (the head gear is not required; Vabbian and Obsidian are more expensive).
*'''4 points''' — 1 Oppressor's and Destroyer weapon. Plus three more of your choice.
*'''1 point''' — 5 more titles or one Tormented weapon (quite expensive, replaces one of the three extra weapons from the previous section).
*'''3 points''' — Your choice of:
**28 more miniatures — by far the cheapest option, white and purple miniatures are quite common.
**10 more weapons — likely cheaper than 200 Zaishen Keys, oppressor's weapons are usually the cheapest.
**Zaishen title (200 Zaishen Keys for rank 3, replaces one of the titles from the previous section).
**15 more titles/elite missions of your choice.


==Pay or play==
A large majority of the items needed for your hall can be purchased from [[non-player character|NPC]]'s or other players. Here is a list of a few of the more popular money-making options:
===Playing===
*Simply playing through the game and selling the drops yields a steady income (albeit lower than the following methods)
**Playing [[Guild Wars Beyond]] and [[List_of_hard_mode_quests|Hard Mode quests]] gives substantial quest rewards, but the quests are fairly difficult so this is not advised for beginners.
*Opening [[Chest#Treasure|Treasure chests]] and [[Hidden_Treasure|Dungeon chests]] while playing
*In addition to seasonal drops, participating in [[Festival]]s, especially some of the quests, is an effective way to earn money. Non-repeatable quests can be repeated on different characters. Lucrative repeatable quests include:
** Both Annihilator quests on [[April Fools' Day]] (also an effective way to get the [[Ebon Vanguard rank|Ebon Vanguard]] Title);
** [[Snowball Dominance]] and [[Fighting in a Winter Wonderland]] on [[Wintersday]] (Snowball Dominance is also an effective way to get the Ebon Vanguard title too, as well as the [[Survivor]] title for rangers);
** [[Every Bit Helps]] on [[Halloween]] (also an effective way to get the [[Survivor]] title);

===[[Running]]===
*Running to locations for other players:
**[[Guide to Drok's run|Drok's Run]]
**[[Ascalon City]] to [[Lion's Arch]] and vice versa
**Lion's Arch to [[Sanctum Cay (outpost)|Sanctum Cay]]
**Running the Crystal Desert
**Eye of the North tours (all towns in the expansion)
*Running missions for other players:
**[[A Time for Heroes]]
**[[Imperial Sanctum]]
*Running [[dungeons]]

===Item [[Farming]]===
*Farming Ectos in the Underworld.
*Farming Obsidian Shards in the Fissure of Woe.
*Farming Gemstones in Domain of Anguish.
*Farming [[Hammer of Kathandrax|Hammers of Kathandrax]] in the [[Catacombs of Kathandrax]].
*Farming the weekly [[Nicholas the Traveler]] items.
*Farming Zaishen Keys from [[Zaishen Elite]] or [[Training Arena]].
*Farming [[Festive item]]s dropping during festivals.
**[[Gates of Kryta#Farming]]
**[[Asura_rank#Riven_Earth_.28raptor_farming.29|Raptor farming]]
**[[Guide_to_vaettir_farming|Vaettir farming]]
*Farming materials for [[Conset]]s.
**Raptor farming (bones, dust, iron)
**Vaettir farming (dust, iron)
**[[Guide_to_feather_farming|Feather farming]] (feathers)

===[[Reward_trophy|Reward]] farming===
*[[Speed Clear]]ing to endgame rewards.
*Getting [[Zaishen Coin]]s from the daily [[Zaishen Challenge Quest]]s.
*Getting [[War Supplies]] from the daily [[Wanted]] quest or the [[Rise]] mini-mission.
*Getting [[Trick-or-Treat Bag]]s by repeating the Halloween festival quest [[Every Bit Helps]].
*Getting [[Wintersday Gift]]s by repeating the Wintersday festival quests [[Fighting in a Winter Wonderland]] and [[Snowball Dominance]].

===[[Trading]]===
*Trading valued items (notably the very items used for the Hall of Monument) in marketplaces such as [[Kamadan]] (buying low and selling higher).
