This in my opinion is the easiest way to get 30 points in the HoM

It incorporates less grind based titles and cheaper statues to obtain all the GW2 ingame items

Pretty good guide, but I feel that this guide is not that great for new players.

Honor:
- Cartographer titles take quite awhile to complete, which some people may feel to be a 'grind title', and it can also get pretty frustrating if you cannot find the area you're missing
- You didn't mention any of the "Conqueror Of" statues, of which FoW and Sorrow's Furnace can be finished relatively quickly and easily with 7 Heroes. Since these statues can be obtained by completing the area in Normal Mode, anyone that is able to find a group through their guild or their alliance can obtain them fairly quickly. Also, the black moa is hatched from Sorrow's Furnace, so there's synergy there.
- With the builds mentioned in this thread here, Eternal Survivor is fairly quick regardless if you're using exp scrolls or not, and can be used as a quick way to get a little bit of money since they drop a lot of gold items

Resilience:
- I feel that vabbian armor is not worth the one point it gives unless you're looking to get 50/50, this is because the same amount of money can easily afford 5 different armors - including an Elite Kurzick or Luxon - and will net an extra point.

Valor:
- Destoyer weapons are actually pretty cheap since diamonds and onyx gems drop from EoTN dungeon end chests.

Since I started only recently, I feel that your guide applies very little for someone who is completely new at the game as money is not so easily obtained when you're just starting out.

Thank you so much for this! I'm new with guides and need info like this to help me learn what to think of when I make them! It also helps me with my own future! I should have done more research before making this video! But to be fair the way I pointed out would not take very long even for someone new vabbian armor is about 200k for mats and 25k for armor So it really doesn't run too high. Cartographer is a reasonable argument! I just never really thought it was very hard to run around and look at the area. I should have given mention to text mod. I love your suggestions though! I wish I could go back and put them in (credit obviously given) Maybe next time before I make a guide I'll consult a forum like this for supporting info.

I wouldn't recommend Codex, getting points in a completely dead arena doesn't seem doable unless you farm with friends. It will probably be removed eventually anyway. I'm not sure about Zaishen supporter either - maybe in the long run, but those 200 keys you need to get it can be sold for at least 6k each - resulting in 1,200k in your bank account, enough to buy more or less anything you could possibly want to add to your hall of monuments. Although, of course, you could get valuable things from the chest drops, it is a more sure thing to just sell the keys IMO. Gladiator is okay if frustrating - taking the dive and getting involved with HA/GvG may be the best option for this title. May take a little longer but you wont be sitting there for hours getting terrible teams.

I also agree about Vabian - not worth it compared to the other options.

Destroyer weapons are cheaper than most armor sets now and directly give a point.

For Honor, I would say Fissure of Woe, Underworld, Domain of Anguish, and Sorrow's Furnace are better than cartographer if you know what you're doing - especially since I don't even think you need hard mode to do this, so heroes are fine. Cartographer can be quite time consuming and/or frustrating, although you can do it alongside vanquisher to kill 2 titles with 1 stone.

Also, for a green, I think you can just get a baby black moa. Takes some time but saving the 20e is probably worth it.

Solid advice overall though, liked the tip about getting armor in that challenge mission.

Yeah! I thought about the baby moa now I didn't think of it in the video like I said this was my first one and I didn't put the most thought I could have and wish I could go back! I could have mentioned an alternate of doing the conquers instead of cartographers. These are thing I will most definitely work on for my next tutorials. I partly agree with the Z key thing. Thanks for the feed back though It is infinitely helpful !
