God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals
So after playing on and off I would like to start a GWAMM character and fill my HoM for GW2 by the end of the year.
Those seem to be the easy ones as I will only get to play about 2 ~ 3 hours a day.
I have about 800 k and 90e.
Legendary Survivor
3 Protector titles
4 Guardian titles
4 Skill Hunter titles
Legendary Master of the North
Holy Lightbringer
Legendary Spearmarshal
Asura rank: Not Too Shabby
Deldrimor rank: Legendary Delver
Ebon Vanguard rank: Secret Agent
Norn rank: Slayer of All
Any Input?

What input do you want? You'll want the 3 vanquisher titles and the 3 cartographer titles. They can be done simultaneously if you're comfortable with jumping into HM fairly early. Other than that the titles you listed are fairly easy.

if you're making a GWAMM char, you want either Survivor or LDoA.

It's by no means necessary though. All it means is that you'll need to max another title (I don't think wisdom takes much time if you've got the cash, and there's always the other of lux/kurz and drunkard).

/Agree with marty, vanq + carto is a good place to start, then get the money titles. Instead of survivor just get wisdom, its best title i ever decided i was gonna max, i made a huge profit, its boring, but its account wide, so counts for all ur toons. Buy at 700g (7 for 4.9k) and ask for inscribable golds.
U can resell most for about 250g which basically means they cost 450g each, and if they are all isncirbable u collect loads of good mods, make a couple of storage toons. Then sell the stuff. U can make a pretty huge profit and there are a couple of peeps in game who buy mods cheapish to resell for power trading, but for u, its fast easy well to sell in bulk (which u will have after 10k IDs). I dont know the forums rules about igns or whatever but a friend of mine called Mireless Lore will buy most ur mods!
Gl and happy hunting

i got GWAMM on my ranger without doing survivor or LDoA. Luxon is an easy title to get if you can find a guild that does non-stop MQSC. get plenty of lockpicks and you can put a good dent in your treasure hunter title also.

Just to clarify, 4 vanq titles and 4 cartographer (you get an extra title of each when you finish all 3).
Some of the titles are going to cost you some coin. No real way to avoid that if you want to get done by the end of the year. Stay away from the Zaishen title. Crazy expensive unless you spend all your time in pvp (in which case many other titles will elude you).
Character titles: Drunkard is rather easy, since you can always find people selling booze. Sweet Tooth and Party Animal are easy as long as you have some coin during the festivals.
Account-wide titles: Treasure Hunter requires lockpicks, though retain rate and loot will help offset some of that. Still, theres the time it takes running to the chests. Wisdom title is a bit of a pain, since you need to constantly create inventory space when you are buying unidentifieds in bulk, and deal with all the salvaging and merching that results. Lucky/Unlucky would be difficult to achieve max on in the time you require, though it could be done. (Stand on the corner in Nine Rings and buy festival stuff). Working on Treasure Hunter helps advance this title as well.

You can get 26 PvE titles just from playing the game if you can't get LDoA or survivor. That leaves 4 to do. Nearly everyone, including me went for the following 3:
1) Sweet tooth
2) Party animal
3) Drunkard
The last one will have to be an account wide title. I went for Kurzick as it isn't that time consuming (compared to the other account wide titles) and you can make money while doing it. Same for Luxon, it comes down to personal preference.
Although, if you run chests you are effectively working on 4 titles at the same time, treasure hunter, wisdom, lucky and unlucky (using lockpicks). It just seemed a lot slower to me. Then again, it may mean you don't have to do Drunkard, which was a bit painful.
As people said above, if you've got the cash you can buy the wisdom title and possibly even make a profit. I'm not a huge fan of trading though. It takes too long.
I'd suggest farming the hell out of events to get items needed for titles 1), 2) and 3) above. Then when you hit 29, see which title is the furthest along. I'm guessing you'll go for a Faction title at that point.

Do drunkard while you VQ and map, you'll thank me later.
I was in the same boat as OP, needing one acc. wide for the 30th. I opted forKurz and did Morostav trail VQ to farm the points. 20k faction or so in ~30 mins, plus plenty of mats and golds from chests/drops. If you do a hardcore farm on one or two of the double faction weekends and donate to alliance you can put a huge dent in it. Should also give you a good chunk of cash to fuel one of the consumable titles as well.

Sure you don't NEED them, but since they're mutually exclusive, and Survivor is pretty darn easy, might as well get one of them, makes it easier later on.

You should max sweet tooth and/or party animal by buying spammables from other players you definitely have the money for it. The hardest part is finding a seller really =]

Isn't it easier to buy tonics for party animal? Because you can spam them in the divinity coast area due to Loose Magic.

I don't agree, survivor can be easily accomplished in a day or two just by doing punch out.

Easy is relative, since your method would involve something that I'd personally couldn't handle doing more than 2-3 hours at a time in a sitting.

I started playing before titles came in, so no survivor or Legendary Defender of Ascalon (is that right? I always forget!). So these are how I have reached 22 titles so far, and how I plan to reach 30:
1. Tyrian Prot
2. Canthan Prot
3. Elonian Prot
4. Tyrian Guard
5. Canthan Guard
6. Elonian Guard
7. Tyrian Skill H
8. Canthan Skill H
9. Elonian Skill H
10. Tyrian Vanq
11. Canthan Vanq
12. Elonian Vanq
13. Leg Vanq
14. Leg Skill H
15. Leg Guard
16. Norn
17. Asura
18. Dwarven
19. Ebon V
20. Sunspear
21. Lightbringer
22. Canthan Carto
This is where I plan to go from there:
23. Tyrian Carto (95%)
24. Elonian Carto (90%)
25. Leg Carto (1/3)
26. Sweet Tooth (1500/10000)
27. Party (2000/10000)
28. Luxon (9.1m/10m)
29. Leg Master of the North (850/1000)
30. Drunkard (1000/10000mins), Kurzick (0.3m/10m ), Lucky, Unlucky, Wisdom, Treasure Hunter, Zaishen?!
With your 800k +90e you can pretty much buy one title, and the most of the other (Sweet Tooth and Party) just top up the rest you miss by participating and farming in the Halloween and Wintersday festivities - should net you a nice little pot of sweets/party items.
For me, the last one is going to be a bitch, but I figure if I'm drunk whilst I complete the rest of the quests from 22 -> 30 then that should take a huge bite out of the next 9000 minutes I need to accure!

You will easily max Unlucky while doing Treasure Hunter, and get most of Lucky and a good bit of Wisdom. A little Nine Rings will finish up Lucky, so you get three titles rather easily out of that. I got GWAMM without LDoA, Leg Survivor, Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, or Luxon.
Working on TH/Lucky/Unlucky/Wisdom is a much better use of the money you might spend on Drunkard/Sweet Tooth/Party, because the former titles have benefits to lockpick retention and salvage success. Sell the alcohol/sweets/party items from festivals and events for the cash to fund your lockpick habit.

Not a bad idea. Will have to consider which is the most time-efficient way to approach it, I'd like to be finished this before GW2 comes out. My funds aren't limitless and I can't play for 6 hours most nights. Its juts 2hrs every other night at the moment.
