Hi, I'm just starting playing the game and I don't have reserves of gold to buy all the stuff (and, it IS mostly spending money). But, which monuments should I try to fill/statues to get if I'm willing to dedicate 4-ish months to get 30 points and how should I do that?
EDIT: Has someone made an HoM Filling Guide for New Players, cause that would be so awesome^100.

Koss
Dunkuro
Sousuke
A pet

Honor
Link your account to a HoM
Get Guardian, Protector, Skill Hunter and Vanquisher on each campaign.
10/18
Resilience
Any 5 Elite Armors
4/8
For a total of 23. After getting all that you'll know what to do for the rest.

Thanks! That seems like a place to start. But I have a question. Are the side quests that don't give skills worth doing?
And, 4 months because I heard somewhere that GW2 will be released in February :P

there's no official date yet (tho gamerant did give 2nd Nov 2011 which will upset my girlfriend cause its her birthday lol) but just play the game, have fun and worry about HoM later

Don't forget that even after GW2 is out, you'll be able to keep on playing Gw1 and adding to your HoM - and any new additions will then be usable in GW2. So even if you don't get to 30 before GW2 comes out.. all is not lost 
Another thing I'd suggest - if your interested in points, and don't mind waiting 1-2 years for more pets.. use up all your character slots and never delete the characters. Each year you'll get a minipet on each character... (lolz, I have 50+ mini's.. purely because of the # of characters I have and how long I've had them.. hehe - and check, the last point in the mini line is 50 mini's.. lolz)
Also in regard to mini's - make sure to attend in-game events. Quite a few of them have (or had in the past at least) gold mini's that you can get through participating in their finalee events or other means. You can also do the War in Kryta and hand in War Supplies for Royal Gift's.. as there is a chance for getting 3 gold mini's from it. (http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_Gift)
As for the armor's - if you can afford it, aim for Vabbian. You might want to get 2 characters through the vabbian quests for added trade contracts for the mat's needed. Getting Vabbian will net you 2 points (any 1 armor & vabbian armor). If you have to buy the mats... it's the most expensive armor to buy I believe.. but if you can get the gems and most of the mats through 2-3 chars.. your set.
and for pets - don't forget the Imperial Phoenix. You can tame it after beating Factions, it also has it's own statue in HoM and adds another option for the rare pet, as well as adding to your total # of statues. It would put you around 55% to 20 statues if you used the above guide.
