So I am finally going to get my 30/50 HoM but I haven't played for a while, I'm not too sure what to do with what I have in my storage.

I have a new character, a Necro half way through Prophecies(with Legendary Defender of Ascalon). My old character is a Ranger at the 26th mission in Prophecies.

I own all three campaigns & EotN. I plan on playing through all the campaigns & EotN.

This is what I have in my inventory:

- 191 Platinum

- 698 GoTHs
- 46 ToT bags
- 70 Birthdays Cupcakes
- 10 Golden Eggs
- 12 four leaf clovers

- 9 stacks of Granite Slabs
- 2 stacks of charr carvings
- 13 stacks of wood planks
- 18 stacks of iron ingots
- 4 stacks of Glittering Dust
- 5 stacks of Bones
- 5 stacks of Bolts of Cloth
- 8 stacks of Tanned Hide Squares

(CE)
3x UnDed Mini Kunnavang
1x UnDed Mini Varesh

- 40 UnDed Mini's

(YEAR 1)
Temple Guardian
Jade Armor
Jungle Troll
Siege Turtle
Whiptail Devourer
Hydra
Necrid Horseman
Fungal Wallow
Charr Shaman
Kirin
Shiro

(YEAR 2)
Harpy Ranger
Thorn Wolf
Heket Warrior
Wind Rider
Mandragor Imp
Fire Imp
Aatxe
Water Djinn
Koss
Palawa Joko

(YEAR 3)
Mursaat
Forest Minotaur
Roaring Ether
Abyssal
Cave Spider
Raptor
Irukandji
Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh

(YEAR 4)
Desert Griffon
Dredge Brute
Terrorweb Dryder
Word of Madness
Kveldulf
Flowstone Elemental

(YEAR 5)
Summit Giant Herder
Scourge Mantra
Ophil Nahuali
Fire Drake
King Adelbern

- 7 UnDed Mini Doubles
Necrid Horseman
Fire Imp
Word of Madness
Raptor
Fire Drake
Jungle Troll
Kirin

So what would be the best route to get my HoM up with what I have inventory-wise? Again, advice other than playing the campaigns, which I am currently doing, unless it coincides with getting things cheaper.

Thanks!

with the stacks of granite, get onyx and diamonds and then purchase the destroyer weapons for your HoM. dedicate the minipets you want into your HoM. Open your ToT bags and use what you get from them on the toon that you are using to get your titles. Same goes with the cupcakes and eggs as those are sweet points. The mats that aren't needed for your HoM weapons, you may want to sell. Or turn them into consumables such as armors, grails, and essences for quicker vanquishing in HM. The minipets that you don't dedicate or care to dedicate, sell them for gold so you have cash to get sweet, party or alcohol points.

^Basically the above, but instead of using the sweet/party/drunk points I would suggest that you sell them to get money to buy any elite armors that you need or any oppressor/destr/torm weps that you need for the hall. Unless you are going for 50/50 or gwamm, there is really no need to buy the consume titles.

Sell off the
- 698 GoTHs
- 46 ToT bags
- 70 Birthdays Cupcakes
- 10 Golden Eggs
- 12 four leaf clovers

you can make some decent coin off that stuff. Even if you wanted the sweet title, still sell the eggs and cupcakes, and buy the cheap points.

Only dedicate 1 green and 1 gold mini(the cheaper ones) and thw white ones to get a few points. sell off the expensive ones. With the extra money buy the diamonds/oynx for weapons and get armor. Also pick up hero armor (3-10k) per hero depending on which one. Easy points.

Basically what the other people have said, but especially since you're planning on playing through all the campaigns, I'd say go for something like this:

http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=d...BAAA AAAmAEIA

-Dedicate 40 minis (but not the kunnavangs; sell all those to pay for armor).
-Get five armors (I chose the 4 cheap ones and one other).
-Finish all three campaigns with protector in one.
-Get a black moa and some heroes.
-Get an opporessor weapon (the cheapest right now).

For the last three points, there's some flexibility:

2 points: Luxon armor, one other armor set (one point for luxon, one for 7 total)
2 points: imperial phoenix, black widow, 18 heroes (one point for 10, one for the other 10)
1 point: destroyer weapon

I think these are mostly non-grindy options that stay pretty cheap. (You do need rank 5 in three eotn title tracks, but if you want to do that without getting too bored, you could just fill three nm hero's handbooks. Or just pay the extra 20k each for the more expensive armors.)

Edit: Of course, the more you want to play, the less you have to pay for, and there are some non-repetitive ways to complete some of these things. War in Kryta will give you an oppressor weapon, for instance. And you can level up an imperial phoenix through normal play as long as you don't care about your secondary (and occasionally having your skills blacked out).

Looks like to me you have an insane amount of platinum available from selling your Varesh / Kunnavang's. They go for quite a sum don't they?

I'm no expert and I've only just started going for the 30/50 myself (currently at 7/50), but I'd probably go for this:

??? Sell any items you don't need
??? Dedicate 40 minis (including 1 Rare and 1 Unique) (7pts + 3 from Accounts Linked) = 10 pts
??? Play through the Kurzick missions in Factions until you can tame the Black Moa (2 pts) = 12 pts
??? Grab M.O.X for having the Trilogy + EotN and add to monument (1 pt) = 13 pts
??? Assign another 3 Heroes to the monument (2 pts) = 15 pts
??? Complete all campaigns like you say for 3 Hero titles (completing 1 campaign nets you 2 pts) = 17 pts
??? Work towards another two titles. Either the Protector titles in two campaigns or Sorrow's Furnace / Fissure of Woe etc. (3 pts) = 20 pts
??? With the money you have, work towards getting some Elite Kurzick Armor crafted (2 pts) = 22 pts

From this point on, it's completely up to you to see what is going to be your cheapest method between Armor / Weapons I guess.

You have too much money.

If you want the most cost-effective way I wouldn't dedicate more than 30 mini's to be honest.

Dedicate your cheapest unique+rare+28 others to get 6 points for devotion. Sell your doubles obviously. Keep the remaining 10 as a reserve to eventually sell if you're short on money or add to your HOM if you have too much.

I would completely fill up Fellowship. First thing is to unlock all your heroes which you can do during/after you finish all the campaigns. To get their respective hero armor you just need to do challenge missions to get 3-4 pieces per challenge mission. Droprate drops dramatically after that. Filling up Fellowship is easy and free besides perhaps having to buy a spiderrun to UW for 10k. That will give you 8 points.

Don't go for more than 5 titles to get 8 points for Honor. You already have LDoA, you get 3 more for completing the campaigns. Easy other titles are protector(I would suggest Factions for that since the bonus objectives are just speedruns of the original missions) or Eternal Conqueror of Sorrow's Furnace or FOW.

For Resilience you actually have to buy stuff. Get 4 cheapest armors+Elite Kurzick/Luxon Armor for 300kish(including materials). You'll get 5 points for that.

Craft a Destroyer Weapon + Do WiK to get a free oppressor's weapon + lots of money which will give you 3 points.

I guess you could skimp out a few points on Fellowship if you have more than enough money but I wouldn't since the effort required to get the heroes is really low for the most part.
You could go up to 40 miniatures to get a point, you could get a tormented weapon + destroyer weapon + an oppressor's weapon to get 2 additional points(you have 5 medals of honor left after doing War in Kryta+Hearts of the North), you could buy 2 additional cheap armors(<150k) to get another point, it's quite possible to get 10 title statues without too much effort(protector/guardian/survivor/eternal conqueror/savior of the Kurzicks/Luxon)
