Default The quick and dirty 30/50 guide.
Things you'll need:
  • All 3 campaigns and EotN
  • Some cash on hand, or a steady surplus income (about 250k minimum, more is faster)
  • Patience
  • Use of the official wiki, if you lack patience (F10 in-game)
  • Skill (just a bit)

First of all, play through all 3 campaigns and EotN, and beat the final missions and all bonus objectives (3 'hero' statues + 3 'protector' statues). I would recommend starting in Nightfall for the Heroes and faster attribute points.
  • Complete War in Kryta and get an Oppressor Weapon from your Medals of Honor earned.
  • Get MOX.
  • Complete the Mini Moa Bird Chick side Quest from Zho.
  • Register a L20 PvP Wolf in the Zaishen Menagerie.
  • Register all of these items.
(2 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 14 HoM points so far)
  • Next, get one Rare Ranger Pet, and 2 Hero armors (~10k each) (+ 2 = 16)
  • Buy one Gold Mini Pet (~10-20k) (+ 1 = 17)
Now, things will start to ramp up. Many things will cost much more gold per HoM point, but you still have a lot of content to complete to get more points. If you have the cash and speed is key, just buy up what you need, but until then, complete these other requirements:

Pick any 14 of for following 'easiest' 30 statues: (+3 = 20)
  • Beat Sorrow's Furnace
  • Beat The Deep
  • Beat Urgoz's Warren
  • Beat FoW and UW
  • Beat DoA
  • Gaurdian x 3 + 1
  • Skill Hunter x 3 + 1
  • Cartographer x 3 + 1
  • Vanquisher x 3 + 1
  • Master of the North
  • Get Sunspear / Lightbringer titles
  • Get Asuran / Dwarven / Vangaurd / Norn titles
  • Get Rank 4 Kurzick / Luxon titles

With cash / faction earned from vanqing, earn jade / amber for a Kurzick or Luxon armor statue (+2 = 22) and then one Destroyer Weapon (~40k) (+1 = 23), and 18 random white minis (~50k) to give you 20 total (+2 = 25). Next, get 5 more armored heroes / pets (+1 = 26)

For your final 4 points, you can pick from:
  • 10 more Miniatures (+1)
  • another 10 more Miniatures (+1)
  • another 10 more Miniatures (+1)
  • 10 more armored heroes / pets (+1)
  • Your remaining 10 armored heroes / pets (+1)
  • 5 more from the 30 statues listed above (+1)
  • Vabbian and any other Elite armor(+2)
  • One Tormented Weapon + 2 more other weapons (+2)
  • Get 1 PvP statue (+3)

Gladiator is the most accessible, but Zaishen is easiest due to being able to buy out keys. Using 200 keys will earn the title, and some of your drops from the chest can be re-merched or sold for more keys later on. Remember, if you can pick any one PvP type, you'll be making cash from selling keys instead of buying keys for the Zaishen title.

Hope that helps, as I've seen this kind of easy guide often requested. If prices are off or my numbers are wrong, let me know.

You really have this thought out, haven't you. Great guide!

I have nothing else to add, you seem to have addressed everything and left enough room for user preference.

There are 30 items (armor, weapons, minipets, ranger pets) available as rewards in GW2 based upon what is in your Hall of Monuments. The HoM has 50 rewards levels, but after 30 you only get titles.

It refers to the Hall of Monuments reward score, which you can check for your account right here. 30/50 is the score that gets you all of the material goodies in GW2 if you link your GW1 account to it. Beyond that you only get titles.

All I would add is start your character in factions then move over to nf/eotn as soon as possible. The beginning of NF has like a trillion quests if you're a NF character.

Nice guide

Can you still get those after GW2 comes out? I'm thinking about going back to GW after few months of League of Legends (probably in 2 weeks, when the new champion comes out and everyone will be playing her) and I'm pretty sure I'll want to play Guild Wars a bit.

By the way, am I incorrect, or are those achievements area-wide?

edit: Nevermind, FAQ says you can still get those rewards after GW2 comes out.

I would make the point that if they're getting the Black Mao Chick, they'll have to get to get the last quest for Sorrow's Furnace, so unless they're being run by someone else who has the quest, it would be easy to just finish off SF right there.

For Urgoz and the Deep, wait until it's the Zaishen Bounty and form a PUG.
For Mallyx, join a DWG team.

Alternatively, find a good guild. This is conducive to everything else you need to do as well.

Iron Forgeman is the zbounty on the 16th (6 days time), so there's likely to be groups in Deldrimor Warcamp for those of a pugging persuasion.

just climb the gladiator rank and use the zkeys to sell and then buy whatever else it is you need.

Aren't the Kurz/Lux ranks considered PvP trophies? They're A LOT more accessible than the Gladiator r3. On a double weekend you can get the Kurz trophy from scratch in about 3-5 hours.

No; they're not considered PvP titles.

Zaishen rank does qualify as a PvP title though. I'm glad it does, otherwise I'd be screwed.

Like the Luxon and Kurzick, it's a hybrid.
Can be obtained by doing PvE, but can also be obtained only by doing things with a PvP character.

The thing is, why didn't Luxon and Kurzick qualify, if they are both PvE and PvP too?
