Back after 2 years

So yeah, hey everyone

I'm usually on the GW2Guru, but today i logged into GW1 after 2 years of not playing, so i thought that i'll ask for some help here

I mainly logged in to get the minis from the birthday presents and to get some more extra points for my HoM. Currently i have 16/50 points, which is what i gained even before the HoM was released.

How could i earn 4 extra points the fastest way possible?

I got 15 dedicated minis, so i guess getting to 20 would be the easiest 2 points. How much does minis cost these days?

Then i charmed a white tiger to add it's statue for 1 extra point, but it's actually "not evolved". How can i evolve a pet the easiest way possible?

I have 1 platinum and 600 gold in my bank, that's all my money... i don't remember how much it's worth, but i guess i can't get anything with it...
I have some weapons and different old tonics (i collected them), an unded Mini Elf, different insignias and summoning stones, these are what i might could trade or something i think, but tell me if i'm wrong... i really don't know the values anymore

Maybe it's a little messed up what i just said, i'm checking my inventory while writing this, so yeah.. I would be glad to get any kind of help I would like to know the easiest ways to get the extra points, i really don't want to do dungeons or FoW or anything like that... as i didn't play in years

We need your IGN or the exact details or how you've got to 16 before we can really offer any specific advice.

Pets have to be level 20 before they can be added to the HoM. Also, drop the white tiger and capture a Phoenix (from Factions Epilogue) as this nets 2 points since it's a rare pet.

I You actually only need 4 with that unded elf. But yeah, this would be pretty easy, but you'll need some more money. Farming zaishen elite until round 16 (takes ~20 mins) will net you 6k balthazar factions. 5k bf can be traded for 1 zaishen key which sells for 5k. Do this daily and your money will stack up pretty fast.
pay for it in the zaishen menegrie.
Or charm the black widow spider in UW, it's lvl 20 already and gives an additional point.
That's an aweful little money. Maybe some of your insignias are worth something, check the rune trader. survivor and the like are pretty decent money, especially if you have several.

Doing Glint's challenge for hero armor might be a moderately easy and quick way to get another point.

As enter said, we can't really give you any advice unless we know exactly what you've done so far. Post one of your characters names and we can look you up on the hom calculator.

Soup Without Catz is the character i'm on with now.

I've got some help from someone here on the forums, got some price checks so now i know what i might be able to sell

I've also got a Mini Gwen from one of my birthday presents, which i put into the HoM with other minis, so now i'm at 19/50
I've got convinced to play for a while and get to 30, so i'll try to sell my worthy things and go after the points.

If i get that spider from UW, can i also get the Phoenix? I remember seeing that Phoenix when i finished Factions, but can i go back there now an charm it?


Oh and thanks for the responses

Yes you can go back there, although before you charm a new pet you need to make sure you get rid of the old one first.

Should of sold the mini gwen for 60+ectos and bought everything else =(

It wasn't Chibi Gwen, but the good old green annual Gwen.

Now i counted things and what i'll surely get is extra 6 points, which gets me to 25... The last 5 points i'm not sure about yet

Thanks to drkn, i know what things are the most benefical to get
