Guild Wars 2

So I recently got ‘Guild Wars Platinum Edition’ that comes with ‘Prophecies’ and’Eye of the North’.

The game so far reminds me of the old MMOs I used to play a while ago such as a 4Story, Metin2 and Cabal. The limitations don’t bother me. The soundtrack is gorgeous and the graphics didn’t age that bad. I love the variety of emotes and how populated some areas can get. Have to say that seeing the Charr as the villains was a new experience.

The main reason why I got GW1 was to be able to get the rewards from the Hall of Monuments. I’ve browsed and asked around and I don’t really know what I have to do. It’s still confusing to me. I already have 3 points, which was possible by linking the accounts. I was also told I could get a few more points without being Level 20; is that true?

What do I really have to do in order to gain more HoM points? I’m not an expert in GW1, so I don’t know most of it and I barely manage to play any game nowdays because of studies. I cannot get any of the other expansions too. Ever since I started GW2 I always wanted to get my hands on the fiery dragon sword. It’s my favorite sword and I really want to have it.

As you have only Prophs and EotN with the Fiery Dragon Sword needing only 10 HoM points to unlock, it’s not going to be that hard (but harder than if you had all GW1 campaigns).

There’s a handy guide on the GW1 wiki (Link) but you’re not going to get many points before Lv 20. However, you can hit Lv 20 in EotN opposed to Prophecies if you’re finding the main campaign slow moving like I did. There’s a nice section in that article that gives pointers for limited accounts (those that don’t have all campaigns) and I’d personally try for the minis for easy points. I have a few I could hook you up with in GW1 if you’re desperate seeing as I have them cluttering up my storage on there from 22 characters lol.

if you play just to get hall of monuments rewards, you’re gonna have a bad time. maybe wait until you’re actually interested in playing the game

Lumpy, I am only interested in the sword.

I disagree. Obviously, it’s a lot more fun to play the game for its own sake.

For the OP, check out the guide linked above. The GW1 wiki does a pretty good job of walking you through getting the rewards quickly and the Fiery Dragon Sword is available after getting only 10 points, which isn’t too bad.

The main things you have to do:

• Get the hall itself. Easier on an L20 unless you have a friend that can get you there sooner.
• Unlock the miniature and friendship monuments (those are the easiest to start adding points to). Requires tapestries, which require doing some of the story or getting them from someone else who has extras.
• Adding stuff to the various monuments. Minis are the simplest, especially if you have friends to gift them to you.

Plenty of the rewards just require time and others just require money (coin or mats or both). Which you do will depend largely on whether you have other people who can donate to your cause or not.

Good luck! The FDS is one of my favorite skins in GW2, even after 3 years.
