The quick and dirty 30/50 guide.
Skye Marin
Last Canthan new year, I was very lucky to get 3 minis in my first 72 fortunes. I was laughing.
KingCrab
Thanks for all the info. Since I only have two characters, maybe I'll make some factions characters so I can partake enough to get a mini. I've read that the festivities are on Shining Jea Island so I'm assuming I wouldn't have to advance characters very far to do the quests?

The hard ones I think would be beating UW and tormented.
With the changes and the lack of PuGs, you would be forced to create a sin if you are in a small guild.
Tormented is doable but takes time. Don't give away gemstones for coffers.

As a player with limited play time (and attention span!) I achieved my 30/50 through mostly the Fellowship/Resilience/Devotion (Heros/Armor/Minipets) points. You basically have to pick between doing part of the GWAMM title grind, or spending money to fill out your other monuments. Valor (Weapons) also isn't too bad if you have the patience to hunt for the currently rather scarce Destroyer weapon crafting materials.

Destroyer weapons are rather mind numbingly easy to get. I bought two for the heck of it, even purchasing the few diamonds and onyxs I was short. That just became a lot more expensive, but it pennies on the dollar compared to Tormented weapons and Vabbi/Obby armor.

this guide, sadly, doesn't help me at all. I am broke broke broke. No freakin way I am going to get 250k.

Honestly, if you do the vanquisher & guardian titles plus either Lux or Kurz you probably will make 250k... pick everything up, ID it, merch the crap...
Also, hero armors are easy to farm and sell well if you have any surplus. Oppressor weapons are pretty easy to churn out (sell them and buy destroyer weapons?) or... visit the give away section of Ventari

Sorrows Furnace - Easy peasy H/H
FoW - easy peasy if you join a Fowsc group (I just monk, got a group, won)
Mallyx - easiest of the lot, just join a DWG group, I've dont lots of runs now and also got my tormented wep.
Underworld - this one is a lot harder and the only difficult one out of them all. There are SC groups, but without experience and practice with your role, you will mos likely fail. Fortunately, there are lots of videos on youtube teaching how to do this, you need to watch, study, and remember how to play every minute of UWsc from those videos. Non SC groups dont exist outside of guild groups anymore.
Deep / Urgoz - These are actually both very easy, and fortunately for me, I already had both of them done. The only hard part is that there are never any groups forming, but I hear that lots of people do it during the Zaishen bounty.
For titles - Guardians, Skill Hunter and Reputation titles are easy. I see a lot of people mentioning vanqs, however IMO these take a very long time to complete, and from calculating on my second account which only has 3 points, you dont need to do Vanqs at all to get to 30 points.

One way to get cash fast, farm feathers from LA to Bergen hotsprings and vice versa. You get stacks of feathers(8.5 to 9k each), caromi scalps wich can be traded for party or sweet points(or get the feathers from them). You get golds, sell them to ID-ers. You get lots and lots of runes and now also ToT bags.
Or if you have a 100b warrior do raptor farming. Or when elementalist or assassin go veattir farming.
Milennin
For money I've started doing dungeon runs for people. Just get decent at completing dungeons with your Heroes and Henchmen, then you can take people with you to complete dungeons. They pay you good money and you get a lot of loot too. Much more fun than doing the same farm over and over again.

Did this really need to be sticky?
1) Play the game
2) Do the things you find easiest to do on the HoM list
Vote to unsticky this, too many stickies are the curse of forums.

I'm gaining money through VQ's (and not forgetting Nightfall treasure chests!), getting the VQ titles done, and spending the money on mats/mini's/anything else I need. People just need to be patient, GW2 won't be out for a long time, and even though VQ's do take time, you have time!

Is SOO still runnable? If so, that's probably the best bet for getting diamonds/onyx...then salvage drops for iron. Doing oola's lab for golem runestones will give you plenty of granite...or you can farm it outside Sardelac in HM old-school. Plenty of options out there to getting destroyer weapons on the cheap. When you get them, just load them up on your heroes so you don't really have to use them.
As far as titles, that's already been discussed ad nauseum. But completing those titles tends to allow you to earn money towards new armors for yourself and heroes, and the consumable titles. Chest run for lucky/unlucky, PVP for the low level titles you need. You can get 50/50 without GWAMM by foregoing the consumable titles and just getting to r3 in three different PVP classes.

Shards of Orr....you'll need an assassin and some (yes, some) skill.

Quick question: I'm at 34/50 with all of my armor and weapons to go. I enough money to buy them out several times over, but what is the cheapest/fastest way? Can I buy my ranger 5 sets of vabbian armor, put them in the HoM and then immediately scrap them from my inventory while still having it count for 5 individual armors? Would I need to do it on different characters (only 1 character really has access to advanced armor)?

Then repeat for the dungeons in EotN.
If you do ZQuests on a regular basis too, you'll get to 250k.

Personally, I just finished all campaigns and bonuses/masters on HM. All the hero armor can be done pretty easily alone. Then, did Glints duo till I got 900k (35k an hour), then bought everything. I did Glints because I only started 2-3 months ago and knew of no other way to make money.
I did the campaigns and bonuses/masters in around 2 months. Then, did Glints for 2 weeks. 30 points, 6 titles only
Just some advice because IMO Vanquishing/Title Grinding isn't fun, and for anyone who agrees with that. Glints is more fun because I had to think creatively on how to take a side since i'm an ele and constantly improved :]

Play the game, don't waste the money you earn on useless stuff.
You will find out that you will have enough money for your armor and hero armor by the time you have done the other stuff.
So far i see there is not a pratical way reach 30 without buying armor, hero armor.
If you have done that stuff already and you don't have the money well you have only 2 choice.
1)Farm the money you need, a good way farming nick item if raptor and UW bore you.
2)Brace yourself wasting your time in other very hard to get title. No one smart will do this as it take much less time to gain the money.
So in the end for those who
"i have no money how i can do?"
Unless you are masochistic gain the money and follow the guide(or better follow the guide and you will gain money)
AlyaraSaykomora
So far im at 22/50. Prot of Cantha and Elona, LS, urgoz, every armor but vabbian and obsidian, 4 heroes/pets in devotion, about 30 minis? maybe 20?... Kurz, LS, lucky/unlucky, etc.

Most of the time this is caused when the player is in account view in the HOM and does not realize that they did not put a tapestry on that monument for that specific character. Change to character view and make sure you do have tapestries.

Question about the moa chick. Does it provide a statute other than a "mini" statute that you could get from any regular mini?
majoho
It's a Unique/Green, that gives one point in itself if you don't have any other green minis, if you already have a green it won't add anything.
cosyfiep
it adds to the total number of minis you have dedicated, if you dont already have a green it will also count towards that number (but not twice)...so if you have 20 minis and 2 are green you still have 20 minis....it counts towards the rare mini and towards total minis.

As an FYI, here's how I got to 30/50 on my second account in only a few hours, where I was willing to spend more cash than time:
Tyria, Cantha, EOTN (note no Nightfall on this account)
Devotion - 5
1 Minature
1 Rare (piggie)
1 Unique (moa chick i believe)
2 20 Minis (all whites excepting the rare and unique to save $$$)
Fellowship - 5
1 Any Hero
1 Any Pet
1 Any Rare Pet
2 5 Companions
Honor - 8
3 Accounts Linked
2 Any Statue
3 5 Statues - Hero of Tyria, Cantha, Deep, Urogz, FoW
* Play through Tyria and Cantha NM (I'd already done this), all three Elite Missions very easy to complete (Urgoz and Deep ~= 1 hour each, FoW 2.5 hrs)
Resilence - 7
1 Any Armor
1 3 Armors
2 5 Armors
1 7 Armors
1 Kurzick status
1 Obsidian Armor - to save cash you could buy more pets or heroes, and sub out cheaper armor. I just wanted another set of obby.
Valor - 5
1 Any Weapon
1 Destoryer Weapon
1 Tormented Weapon
1 Oppressor Weapon
1 5 Weapons
This account was primarily a mule, but I was able to get to 30/50 in just a few hours and a bit more than a million gold, although you could save significant cash by not buying Obby armor.

Obby and Vabbi armors seem a little too expensive if all you are looking for is a quick way to 30 points.
The fastest way to 30 points IMO seems to be:
- 18 white minis, 1 green, and 1 gold (5 points)
- Full fellowship monument (8 points) - This only took me 4 or 5 days to do, it is very easy once you have completed all the chapters, just farm challenge missions, DoA, and / or glints.
- Legendary Guardian and Eternal LB for 5 statues (8 points)
- Kurzick or luxon armor, plus EOTN armors and any one other (This is the most expensive to do, 5 armors for 5 points).
- One of each weapon for Valor (4 points).
DOA runs are very easy to do, and a great place to earn gold, fast LB points, and also the completion title. You can also get Conquerer titles instead of legendary Guardian, and I actually think this is easier:
DoA is easy peasy with Glaiveway, and both SF and FoW can be easily completed with a full hero team, plus LB + Sunspear titles for 5 statues.
The only difficult part is completing all of the chapters. Once that is done, obtaining 30 HoM points is easy.
I filled my fellowship monument with Deldrimor and Challenge mission upgrades, then later on got around 8 primeval armor remnants from DoA which I am saving for my second account, but I have no desire to get through every campaign again

Completing the campaigns is BY FAR the easiest part, I mean it's basically just playing the game.

Difficult as excruciatingly boring if you've done the campaigns before.
majoho
Why would you need to do them again to gain points for HoM ?
This thread is about HoM right?

I haven't played the game for about 2-3 years and I've managed to go from 11/50 to 30/50 in a mere 2-3 weeks. Reading this guide sounds arguably harder then the way I did it. I'll post my method soon enough.
