As far as the suggestion goes

We don't know yet that the weapons in the HoM will be directly transferred over to GW2. We just know that they will confer some benefit (hopefully cosmetic) on your GW2 character. --Kyoshi (Talk) 17:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

How do you kno tht ? from wat i have read u will be able to use those weapons in gw-2 --Captain of the army 17:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

The Hall of Monuments was introduced in Guild Wars Eye of the North to facilitate players transferring their accomplishments to Guild Wars 2 from their original Guild Wars account. It is a personalized instance that changes based upon certain specific things you have achieved. This feature is exclusive to GW:EN owners.

“Heroes are born in the crucible of conflict and tempered in the flames of battle. Their deeds shine throughout history as a beacon of hope to those who must rise to defend the world in ages to come, becoming part of the legend of the land. The legends forged within Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and the Eye of the North will not be forgotten in the future world of Guild Wars 2.

Your deeds from the original Guild Wars campaigns will be commemorated in the Eye of the North expansion in your Hall of Monuments. The Hall of Monuments will reflect the achievements you earn in Eye of the North as well as those earned in Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall. You will even be able to show off your hall to friends. Then, when Guild Wars 2 arrives, each of these monuments will correspond to special features your Guild Wars 2 characters can "inherit" from your own legendary past, giving you access to exclusive titles, companions , weapons, attire, and miniatures. These inherited items are unique: there is no other way within Guild Wars 2 to acquire them.

there .... now could you explain how and where i am wrong plz ??? thanks.--Captain of the army 17:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't say you were wrong. I said we don't know that the rewards from HoM will transfer directly into GW2 as the things they are. Besides, if your theory were to hold, that an item placed in the HoM becomes the same item in GW2, how would titles transfer? Or for that matter, heroes? I honestly think they'll unlock something new and more unique, not just the same items you place in the Hall.

Besides, even if it were as you said, picking a single weapon out of thousands to transfer over would be...well, silly. Especially to satisfy a single user's helpless cry of "WANT!" --Kyoshi (Talk) 18:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

You may want to read this part again " Guild Wars 2 characters can "inherit" giving you access to exclusive titles, companions , weapons, attire, and miniatures. now lets see, it says title, rite ,u asked abt tht, and companions which i take as heroes, and it does also say at the end "there is no other way within Guild Wars 2 to acquire them. SO tht is unigue enough for me. Also the Dryad bow is very unigue, only skin of its kind in the game, very few weapons hav tht from wat I hav seen. And its an award winning design , more beautiful than the destoryer ones which are mostly only in there cuz they relate to the storyline . Im also sure there are more ppl than me who would like to see this happen.--Captain of the army 20:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Nowhere in there does it say that the weapons, titles, etc. that you get will be exactly what you put in the HoM, just that you'll be able to get "some thing" that relates to them. Basically, you'll probably get one "thing" for each monument filled. By the way, destroyer weapons aren't in there because they relate to the storyline, they're in there because they're gold sinks. The Dryad bow doesn't qualify as a gold sink, because it's a random drop (and no, paying another player gold for it doesn't count as a gold sink). -- FreedomBound 23:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I just have one question , where do you get ur theroy from abt wat u'll get and wat u won't in g-w 2 , as far as I can see ur guess is as good as mine no ? oh and ome more thing , adding the dryad bow to the HoM would make it a gold sink , since anything added there has to be one am i rite ?, --Captain of the army 16:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

No, it's not a gold sink, and no, it wouldn't become one just because it was added to the HoM. Follow the link above. As far as my theory is concerned, my guess is better because it just makes more sense, especially when you look at it as the "inheritance" of things, not the direct transference. We'll all just need to wait and see what those things received are, but I really doubt they're going to rewrite the HoM code to stick a weapon in that not everyone even finds attractive. -- FreedomBound 17:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

The only reason I suggested it was because i saw tht arenanet changed some things in the game because of a fan request, can't remember wat it was, anyways I guess we'll jst hav to wait and see, and if the dryad bow wasn't liked by so many and not as nice as you seem to think it is, why than does it sell for 400 k ? --Captain of the army 18:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Because poor taste and lots of money go hand in hand? :P Just kidding, personally I have no opinion, I've actually never seen one in-game, I was just going off the talk page of the item in question. There are always differing tastes on things, though. -- FreedomBound 22:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Weapon Sets

A-Net has said before (I think when asked about the Zodiac and Celestial weapons) that they don't intend to add weapons to the HoM unless they are a complete set. The Dryad Bow is a stand alone bow and thus not part of a set. It wouldn't be fair to other professions (or bows) to make it a monument item. Torma 08:46, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I guess you got a point, still was worth a try LOL :)--Captain of the army 20:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
