Hall of Monuments question.

If this is the wrong section to post this, then please move it.

A friend and I have recently started title grinding. While I filled my hall of monuments with Hero statues, and destroyer weapons, he filled his with mini pets and armors. But the other day we noticed he had armors on his main character's hall of monuments (a warrior) that he never bought. First came Asuran (which was really weird since he was only rank 3 asuran), then came elite canthan, and that's when we realized, the armors were from other character's he had on his account. His ele had asuran, and his ranger had elite canthan. He later put elite imperial on both his assassin and rit and put those in thier respective hall of monuments and...presto! A little statue depicting both a rit and assassin in elite imperial armor appeared on his WARRIOR'S Hall of Monuments.

We later noticed this true of all his shrines, minis that he had dedicated on other characters were on his main warrior, as well as some accomplishments (UW clear, FoW clear..etc).

Now, I'm wondering. Is this supposed to happen? I've heard from other players in game that it is, but it hasn't happened on my Ranger. I have at least 3 other elite armors dedicated on other characters but my Ranger's hall still only shows norn. My account is registered with him being my main character. So i'm just wondering, do I have an unfortuanate bug? Or does my friend have the best GW bug to have ever existed? lol.

Thanks to all that can clarify this, I really appreciate it.

There's an NPC to the right of the entrance of the HoM that makes your HoM account wide. Then everything you've put into the HoM with your other characters will appear when you go into the HoM on another character.

You can talk to him to change it back and forth. It is a cool way to see what a particular armor looks like on a character that doesn't have it

AHHHHHHH! I never noticed him before. Thank you so very much. Now if I make my hall account-wide, will all the achievements and armors appear on EVERY character's account? Or just on my main Ranger?

Every character's account? You only have one account, and several characters. If you put your HoM to account view, all accomplishments from all your characters that were put into their halls will be shown. You can choose to switch to account mode with any character that enters the HoM.

Wiki on HoM.

Yes, but you will have to turn it on first for another character.

Ok, thanks a lot guys for such fast responding. I'll be sure to do that tonight. I've got a bunch of other armors I want to see on my ranger lol.

Yeah it's a great way to 'preview' armor types you have bought on professions that you are interested in for a different profession.
