6 rep titles ~ month
3 Protector titles ~ month
4 Guardian titles ~ month
4 Vanq titles ~ month
4 Skill hunter titles ~ month
4 Carto titles ~ The 5 above months
1/2 Kurz/Luz ~ month
1 Master of the North ~The 6 above months
1 Survivor ~ Weekend
1 Sweet ~ Money/Farming
1 Party ~ Money/Farming

So, it should be 25/30 in about half a year if you focus on one set of thing each month. Most of them have synergy such as Carto, Vanq, Rep, Skill hunter, Master of the north, and possibly the con titles. Wait for a special weekend/farming weekend for rep titles and cons titles.

Inside 8 months you could easily easily have GWAMM

It took about 3 years to get GWAMM on my Paragon but I mostly got it by accident. "Oh look, I have 20 maxed titles without trying... I guess I'll get the other 10 as well."

But I'll try to estimate a reasonable completion time for GWAMM. Assuming that you do all Zaishen Bounties and Missions when they come:

The 3 Protectors + all NM Dungeons -> 68 days
Legendary Skill Hunter -> 0 days (capture 4-5 elite skills per day while doing NM Zaishen quests)
The 3 Guardians + all HM Dungeons -> 68 days
Legendary Master of the North (vanquish and do cartography for the remaining 15 areas, 1 area per day) -> 15 days
Legendary Cartographer and Legendary Vanquisher (same as above for the 121 areas, 1 area per day) -> 121 days
Sunspear, Lightbringer -> 0 days (already maxed from all the vanquishing)
Asura, Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard, Norn -> 5 days (5 days should be plentiful to complete whatever wasn't already maxed)
Legendary Survivor -> 23 days (do Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza and get this maxed in 5 or 26 hours)
Sweet Tooth + Party Animal -> 0 days (buy them from other players when they're cheap, like on the Canthan New Year, Easter, Guild Wars Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Wintersday)

And now you need 1 more title which is up for you to decide.
You could max Drunkard by just buying the points from other players, but this can be extremely boring and take about 167 hours or less. Or you could max the Kurzick or Luxon title by repeatedly doing vanquishes and this could take around 200 hours (I don't know, just a guess XD).

So a rather unskilled player, that is mildly dedicated, could get GWAMM in 10 months or definitely less than 2 years.

about 3-4 years,

As with so many others my main was started before titles and she did everything herself - nothing was bought.

I have helped a friend who can do it an 3 months or so - but he has oodles of cash (and me to help).

If you really wanna go for it, you could do it in like ~4-5months if you know what you're doing. It took my ele 3 years to get it, but only 1 of that was trying to do so, and not even trying my best.. So, all depends on how hard you try..

my ranger was about 2.5 yrs old when he attained GWAMM, but it was really the last 10 months or so that involved the really intense grinding (vanq'ing + mapping, and elite skill capturing). like many others, I had about 10 titles already before deciding to go for GWAMM and really getting into it. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time and effort I actually put into the game after deciding to go GWAMM, before that I was kind of a casual/leisurely player. 4-5 months is possible, sure, but I hope you have good friends and family that are willing to put up with your absence from RL for that period of time, lol

Worked on the necro for about 3 years, got my warrior done in 7 months, mesmer and rit in 5ish. Not really that hard when you know what you're doing and are willing to do. Having accountwide titles helps.

Im working directly towards GWAMM right now and this is what im thinking

6 months is definitely possible if you play a little every day and spend your time vanquishing instead of in spammadan.

I mean, basics (starting out) should IMO be.

Survivor 3
Protector Titles (running campaigns, unlocking locations so that you can go there incase you can VQ with someone else or similar)
Sunspear 9
EOTN Ranks at 7-8

Then after that you just keep VQing and Carting every time you log on. And cap any skill you may possibly need

Sugar title and drunkard is a pain

What you need to get exactly 30 the easy way is:

Max sunspear (comes with plain VQing)
Max Lightbringer (comes with plain VQing)
Master of the North (comes with time)
Survivor 3 (Must have for the easyness of getting title)
Legendary Cartographer (VQing)
Drunkard (Pain in the arse but, well, not a problem)
Sweet Tooth (Easy)
Party Animal (easy)
Legendary Protector (relatively easy)
Legendary Vanquisher (Do a zone every time you log on, start without delay)
Skill hunter (Just making sure to bring a signet of and change your secoundary profession goes a long way while VQing)

I have not gotten to it yet, and I have been playing for 5+ years---still have 4 more titles to get on my monk for it
though I have found that working on drunkard WHILE you do some of the vanquishing and elite capping helps a lot (especially with grog that has the timer)....also using con sets while vanquishing helps with sweet title. So I was able to finished those 2 off while getting Master of the North.

Character is 64 months old and I just need Luxon r12 for GWAMM. Although I took a 2 year break and titles didn't exist at the start of the game.

Showoff. On topic, took me about 2.5 yrs on my necro, but wasn't really trying too hard until I got to about 15 titles or so.

My first GWAMM was 5 years old when I got it, but probably around 8 months of working on the titles really.

I started on my second account GWAMM in September. Should be able to finish in a couple of months, depending on if I feel like vanquishing a little or a lot.

Tip: do all Missions and Dungeons with full cycle of the Zaishen Quests. Gets you a considerable extra reward and eotn reputation points.

My main will be 5 next month and she is still a few titles away. Mostly because of laziness, or she would have been done last fall.

GWAMM #1 took two to three years of casual play.
GWAMM #2 took one year, more focused casual play.

It really depends on how much time your going to dedicate to it how much money you have and what not.

I myself...it took maybe 2 years of actually paying attention to titles...before that I really didn't care about them and had maxed none. But I really wasnt working to hard on them. If you have the cash backing and the time. I see no reason it can't be done in a month or 2.

(note: I still actually don't have it cause I'm a lazy ass and am to lazy to actually drink the booze I have...if I sat down and did it I could have it in like 2 more weeks)

Better question would be /age of ur GWAMM when u got it. For instance I got a gwamm on my ranger, and hes at about 1.5k hours, but ive also done alot of pvp and afk with him. So lets assume 1k hours playtime to get gwamm, then its simple maths to calculate how long it would take u to accrue those hours. (Or watever the average time is based on what others find.

I spent roughly about 4 months getting GWAMM on my paragon, and roughly a year getting it on my mesmer. I got too caught up in DoA and took me a bit longer with the mesmer.

Gwamm is not a hard title to get if you just focus on it, and do a few VQ's a day as that is the most time consuming title to do outside of allegiance/lucky/unlucky/TH/wisdom.

LOL, at this rate someone will or is probably already attempting to go for a GWAMMSC.

Still working on getting GWAMM on my Paragon and she's almost 4 years old. But then I've had up to 6 months off GW at a time, so it could have been faster.

Ele ~ 3 years, 4k hrs of play
War ~ 6 months, 800 hr of play
Necro ~ 5 years (oldest character), 1.5k hrs of play

All pve accountwide titles were maxed during the AGE OF MAGES (lol, during my ele and necro, hence so many hrs). None of my gwamms have carto titles because I am not a texmod user. QQ more about my pro-ness.

I find it odd how people complain about Korean MMO grinding when it takes far less time to reach max level in several MMOs than it takes to get GWAMM.

Should take you about 6 months if you know what you're doing and have the time (this could vary depending on available holiday events to farm items), 1 to 1 and a half years if you know what you're doing but don't have a ton of time to dedicate, and about 2 to 3 and years if you're starting from scratch with no experience and don't play 24/7. In actual gameplay time it could range from 1,500 hours to 3,000 hours, depending on how focused you are on titles.

EDIT: this is assuming you are starting with 0 cash and 0 titles.

Took me close to a year to get my first GWAMM, never bothered about titles when I started playing. Started working on my 2nd GWAMM a year later which I got in less then 3 months, it's a breeze once you get a few account wide titles like wisdom, luxon and kurzick.

On a side note: I've helped over 1000+ people get their titles with my running service in the last two years XD
