GWAMM or full HoM - Guild Wars Forums

Wbrkr · Mar 21, 2012, 11:11 AM // 11:11

Wasnt sure exactly which forum this should go in.

I finished my hall last year to 50/50 after playing since factions release(so wasnt a whole lot to do) and pretty much quit since then with the ocasional play. Just waiting for GW2.

However a couple of days ago i saw on the GW2 wiki that the 30 titles maxed title also gets carried over. Something i never did and must of missed before. I have 27 on one char. Have pretty much spent the years getting rare weapon skins and lots of armor sets on every class. Many alts. So never bothered with the consumable titles.

Im wondering if you think its worth spending the next few months on it. Is GWAMM considered better than a full Hall(champion title). I guess spersonally i dont care that much as i would use a GW2 title eventually but it would be nice to have everything done in GW1 after so many hours spent.

I used up all my remaining gold to help a friends HoM & buying massive amount of consumables to speed up the process for them so its gonna be a boring grind of 3000+p. Currently only have ~2k/10k in all 3 titles i would need and i doubt theres many events before gw2 release. Getting from rank10 to kurzick maxed is an option but seems even longer.
When i think about all the gold ive spent on armor sets and weapon skins i could of had these titles so easily in the past.

People generally consider GWAMM harder and thus carrying more prestige than 50/50 title. GW2guru poll showed that people will prefer to wear it over 50/50 title.

If you are veteran player, You should have enough resources to raise 3000p for consumable titles off stuff you already own.

Salavage runes off alts and heroes, then sell those rare weapons, etc... Anything that is not point giving consumable is to be converted to cash.

Fox Reeveheart · Mar 21, 2012, 11:36 AM // 11:36

My thinking is this....

There is probably more GWAMMs out there than 50/50s, why?

The majority of players that have GW1 and going into GW2 only brought themselves up to 30/50 for the physical rewards and don't care about the later titles. GWAMM has been around for FAR LONGER than the knowledge about rewards for GW2.

So i'm going for 50/50, but I will try for GWAMM afterwards, 50/50 basically requires you to get close to GWAMM anyways.

Maxing Kurzick title isn't that long, especially since you already have r10. It would probably take 60-70 hours of vanquishing, which is doable over a few months without too much hassle, if you don't mind repetitive stuff.

With that, you don't need one of the consumable titles (I would advise to skip Sweet Tooth which is the most expensive, except if you want to use non-spammable items).

drkn · Mar 21, 2012, 12:03 PM // 12:03

I got both, but the funny thing is that i'll probably swap them for any new GW2 title i get as soon as possible.

Maya Cerestiez · Mar 21, 2012, 12:05 PM // 12:05

Hardcore farm easter and birthday for sweets. Use Bunnies, sell golden eggs and cupcakes for a lot.

And yes, GWAMM is imo higher than 50/50

Sagittario · Mar 21, 2012, 12:32 PM // 12:32

I'm getting both titles and will display GWAMM over 50/50.

About where to get money, if you're an old player, you should get 5th, 6th year b-day gift which can be worth a lot.

Xiner · Mar 21, 2012, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Just a question. How's GWAMM harder than 50/50? Just wondering. :S I mean to get 50/50 you need plenty of titles and achieving GWAMM helps a lot with filling this title monument. Of course you can do a lot of PvP titles.

Just wondering, so i'm not flaming or making any point. Just wondering.

Kook~NBK~ · Mar 21, 2012, 12:45 PM // 12:45

If nothing else, gaining the GWAMM title is something to do.

As for the Kurzick title, one thing that can help speed up the process is taking every Zaishen Quest that gives Kurzick faction as part of the reward - especially Vanquishes. There's a double Luxon/Kurzick point weekend coming up towards the end of May, which can help out a TON if you do those ZVs, ZBs and ZMs on as many characters as possible and then wait to take those quest rewards & turn in the faction until the double points weekend.

Wbrkr · Mar 21, 2012, 12:45 PM // 12:45

Well they seem pretty similar in difficulty to me. You wouldnt need to buy all the mini's/zkeys/armors/weapons if going for just 30/50 and the GWAMM title and could buy the consumables instead.
Makes me wonder why anyone bothers if they wont use the title.

I will give the GWAMM a try. 60-70 hours of vanquishing doesnt sound bad, as i will be getting some gold as reward & drops at the same time. Im also trying to do some zaishen dailys and maybe traping each day for keys to sell also.

Hmmm, maybe because you can fill/max the HoM Honor monument with as few as 20 maxed titles, allowing you to avoid having to max some of the longer, grindier titles.

Mouse at Large · Mar 21, 2012, 01:03 PM // 13:03

I recently completed GWAMM after over 6 years of playing. The way I see it is there are 27 titles which you get pretty close to just by playing PvE pretty thoroughly. I include the skills/carto etc. in this. Then it's a decision - 3 consumables or a mix of consumables and others. I did it by max lucky and party+drunk.

50 in HoM is definately more cash-intensive imo.

But right there you just said why more people should have 50/50. If you had GWAMM before the HoM update you most likely had near 50/50 once it came out. If you didn't, all you needed were some weapons/heros/armor/minipets which are by far the easiest to get. I would still assume more people have 50/50 and even if they don't, GWAMM will still be more noticeable and more noteworthy than Champion of the Gods.

Gabs88 · Mar 21, 2012, 01:44 PM // 13:44

I'm 49\50 and don't even want the 50\50 mark even though all it takes me is to walk in to the HoM and dedicate an armorset (2 mins). Title isn't cool at all. 39\50 makes you Ghostly Hero, 30 Maxed title God Walking Among Mere Mortals. Why would you wanna be a Champion of the Gods when you can be a God?! ;P

You know that you can choose any of the titles you achieve right? So if you have 50/50, you can choose any title below that as well.(i.e. Ghostly Hero, etc.)

Songbringer · Mar 21, 2012, 02:33 PM // 14:33

So, you have 50/50 and just need the con titles? Would you mind posting a link to your HoM?

Maxing lux/kurz can be done in like 2 weeks of semi hardcore to hardcore gameplay using the vanquish sc's. I didn't max either of mine using them so I am using 2 weeks kind of liberally here but I am pretty sure it is about that time...would be no longer then a month.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 21, 2012, 02:50 PM // 14:50

consumables: nic. everyweek you can do nic runs and get that moving along,
easter coming up and birthday so more chances at those as well.

me: I still have neither title...my closest to gwamm is only at 26 (and has the cons titles), leaving me with account wide titles for the most part---I figured it would take me about 6 more years of playing to max my chestrunning title

(though I do seem to be getting a lot closer to maxing unlucky with my monk who cant seem to keep a lockpick even at 85%!). and fow armor is still not in my hom ----getting closer though

Uh don't you still have like some kind of char based titles left then? Those are all easy to get.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 21, 2012, 03:10 PM // 15:10

vanquisher and survivor (not doing either of those again).....

jazilla · Mar 21, 2012, 03:19 PM // 15:19

yeah get the GWAMM. You have the 50/50 and GWAMM at this point is totally worth it to have. The more titles in GW2 the better. I am just glad they decided to give us carryover.
