Guide to earning Hall of Monuments rewards

Introduction
Take a DEEP BREATH. This is a guide to help players achieve their HoM goals, it's relatively short and will save you a lot of time.

Most people fall into one of two groups. Most players want to either achieve the first 30 points (unlocks all items) or all 50 points (unlocks all items and titles.) Decide which one you are, it will help you pace yourself. There are plenty of resources to help you achieve your goals, and the purpose of this guide is to list those resources and help you quickly reach your goals. Realistically, it takes most players 3-18 months to get 30-50 points. Don't get discouraged, just stay focused and have fun.

About the HoM
The Hall of Monuments (HoM) is located in the Eye of the North (EotN) expansion. There are 5 Monuments in the HoM that players can dedicate their achievements to. These achievements give the player points. These points unlock unique items for their Guild Wars 2 account. Both the achievements and unlocked items are account based. There are a total of 50 points possible. Points 1-30 each reward an item. Unique titles are also unlocked at every 5th point (5,10,15...50). Because the achievements span all three campaigns and EotN, you can only get all 50 points if you own all of them.

Getting Started - 8 Points
Make life easier, start by unlocking the map and heroes. Beat all 3 campaigns and EotN in NM, making sure to get all Masters Reward and Bonuses for each mission (for Protector titles/statues).

Beat them in this order:
 * Eye of the North (primary storyline guide)
 * Perks: Short, good heroes, opens up your HoM via 5 Monumental Tapestries
 * Nightfall (primary storyline guide)
 * Perks: more heroes
 * Factions (primary storyline guide)
 * Perks: short
 * Prophecies (primary storyline guide)
 * Perks: unlock locations required for WiK and HotN

Heroes and Pets - 8 Points
At this point you should have a minimum of 16 out of 26 required heroes. Now you need to:
 * Recruit the other 10 heroes from Nightfall. All of your heroes (except M.O.X.) will need Hero armor before they can be added to your HoM. You can buy them all from other players, or farm them yourself from these locations:
 * EotN heroes:
 * 1-10 Deldrimor Armor Remnants from Slavers' Exile
 * 1-10 Cloth of the Brotherhoods from Glint's Challenge
 * Nightfall heroes:
 * 1-5 Stolen Sunspear Armors from Dajkah Inlet
 * 1-5 Ancient Armor Remnants from Remains of Sahlahja
 * 1-5 Mysterious Armor Pieces from The Shadow Nexus
 * 1-15 Primeval Armor Remnants from the Domain of Anguish (builds for DoA: HM, NM, and Heroes)
 * Charm or pay to unlock the Black Moa, Imperial Phoenix, and Black Widow
 * In order to dedicate these pets, you either need to level them to 20 yourself, or pay in the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds. (if you Charm the Black Moa and/or the Imperial Phoenix they will already be at level 20.)
 * A quick way to do this is to death level your pets. (Using this build only takes about 15 minutes.)

Weapons - 8 Points

 * 1-13 Tormented Weapons
 * Farm Gems > Armbraces in DoA (builds for DoA: HM, NM, and Heroes).
 * Buy Armbraces from other players and have them crafted.
 * Buy Tormented weapons from other players.
 * 1-13 Oppressor Weapons
 * Farm WiK and HotN (roughly enough Medals of Honor and War Supplies for two weapons per character).
 * Farm War Supplies by doing the daily Wanted quests (after beating WiK) and have them crafted.
 * Buy them from other players.
 * 1-13 Destroyer Weapons (Note: These weapons are by far the cheapest to buy, so if points are your only goal, these are recommended.)
 * Farm or buy the materials needed and have them crafted.
 * Buy them from other players.

Minis - 8 Points

 * 1 Unique Mini
 * Random reward from Birthday Presents, Gifts of the Traveler, Underworld Chest, Hall of Heroes, Coffer of Whispers.

 * Buy an undedicated rare (gold) mini from another player.
 * The other 48 minis
 * The methods listed above.
 * Most people buy unopened Birthday Presents or opened birthday minis from other players. Starting with 1st year minis first, as they are the cheapest (only 1st-5th year presents contain minis).

Armor - 8 Points
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:
 * Ectos and Obsidian Shards (for Obsidian Armor)
 * Farm Ectos in the The Underworld using one of these builds: Ritualist, 2 Rangers, Warrior, Dervish.
 * Farm Obsidian Shards in Fissure of Woe using one of these builds: Assassin, Elementalist, Warrior
 * Sapphire and Rubys (for Vabbian Armor)
 * Jadeite Shards (for Elite Luxon Armor))
 * Farm Luxon faction to purchase Jadeite Shards
 * VQ Mount Qinkai under the Blessing of the Luxons using this speed clear team build.
 * Compete in Fort Aspenwood for Imperial faction which can be traded in for Luxon faction. (Some builds: Mesmer, Ranger, Ritualist 1 and 2, Elementalist, Monk.)
 * Amber Chunks (for Elite Kurzick Armor)
 * Farm Kurzick Faction to purchase Amber Chunks
 * VQ Morostav Trail under the Blessing of the Kurzicks using this speed clear team build.
 * Compete in The Jade Quarry for Imperial faction which can be traded in for Kurzick faction. (Some builds: Mesmer, Monk 12 and 3, Ranger.)

Titles and Elite Missions - 10 Points
At this point you should only have some Titles and Elite missions left.
 * Titles - A lot of the titles have synergy. Read this guide and plan ahead (not all titles need to be maxed for your HoM.)

 * Farm Balthazar faction for zkeys in RA or ZE. (RA builds and ZE builds.)
 * Buy zkeys from other players.
 * Elite missions:
