Guild Wars 2

Been thinking about this for a veeeery long time now. Almost 2 years to be honest.
I dunno if I should atleast TRY to get 6 more titles to my HoM, as you can see here:
https://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=I7rBA8%2F%2F%2F%2FD4n52N6p%2FHAI8V9AeAAAAAcSkgQAAAAAA
Or search for my name ’’Michelle Alga'’.

I am only needing 6 more titles to get 50/50 in my HoM.. but going back to GW1 will bring back so many memories, although.. playing alone in a dead game isnt the funniest thing to do. But would you try to get 6 more titles and revive the 50/50 HoM title if you were me?

It’s alot of work to do, indeed.. but eh what the heck. I will install GW1 right away now and we’ll see how much I will do. :p

It’s a tough call, I was only 3-4 away, and obviously all the easy ones to do are long finished. Can you even get faction points as fast as you used to if few people are playing? Seems like it would be a huge grind, and there is already enough things to grind out in GW2.

“Playing alone in a dead game” – I take it you haven’t played GW1 in a while? The game is far from dead, especially if you plan in the American districts.

I recommend going for all the cartographer, vanquisher or guardian titles because when you complete a set of 3 you get a 4th title automatically, without having to do anything extra. They’re all a lot of work but in the long run it could save you time.

You’ll probably have about 40-60% of each cartographer title already just from playing (depending on how many side quests you did) and if you use Text Mod finishing them shouldn’t be too hard, but not very exciting.

Vanquisher takes longer, especially because you’re unlikely to have vanquished any maps without going out of your way to do it, but it’s probably the most popular of the 3 and quite profitable.

Guardian could be the quickest or the longest to get depending on how good you are at the missions and bonus objectives and whether you can find someone to help you. If you want to go for this I recommend focusing on whatever is the Zaishen mission that day because a lot of people will be doing it, including some who know all the tricks to do it easily.

Ya it is indeed. True things you said, but that title once you reach 50/50 buggs me so much. :p
Ya, GW2 is always something to do.

No, I haven’t been playing GW1 since GW2 was released. Although I’m a 6 years old GW player now.
American district has always been the most popular ones, atleast when I was playing back then. If you are comparing it today and before, it’s pretty dead, sadly…

Ya, my idéa was to take those titles as you said, [t]all the cartographer, vanquisher or guardian titles[/t], since those are the most suitable ones. I’ve forgot basically everything in these Missions, and those Mission Bonuses are way gone now.. I totally have to find someone to help me, or I’ll just stick with Wiki. :p

Text moding, huh.. so I am only going to basically run through all the maps, areas, missions to be able to get the Cartographer title? No need for killing stuff?
Vanquisher is for Hard Mode if I am correct? Kill everything in the zone?
And Guardian titles are Hard Mode+Bonus on every Missions in each Campaign, right?

Thank you so much for your tips, really useful.

I am thinking to TRY to make
- Guardian of Tyria (Only have a few HM missions left to do, so that’s np I guess)
- Legendary Guardian (Will get this for free after completing Tyria Guardian)

Okay, that’s 2 titles.. only need 4 more to go.
I’m not sure which one is the most easier to do, Vanquisher or Cartographer..
- Canthan Cartographer
- Canthan Vanquisher
- Elonian Cartographer
- Elonian Vanquisher
- Tyrian Cartographer
- Tyrian Vanquisher
- Legendary Cartographer (will get for free if I choose to do Carto)
- Legendary Vanquisher (will get for free if I choose to do Vanq)
- Master of the North (not sure about this one actually. I do have lvl a few titles on different characters to be able to buy the armors)

Any suggests which one is the fastest / easiest to do?
Hard Mode every area in Vanquish or running around in every area in Cartographer?

Combine it. Set up a Meta hero team and vanquishing will not be hard (with a few exceptions like the Hidden City of Ahdashim where you have to be careful). Start with Factions as it is the fastest to vanquish. Cartographing is easier after having killed everything in an area, and if you are already working on that, why not do it in hard mode to combine it with Vanquisher?

Get Textmod as ANet tolerates its usage and it makes things a lot easier – you will see that after you have been everywhere and scraped along all borders that you will still miss a few percent, that is when the real work starts and Textmod shows you spots you missed so far. Read the GW Wiki articles as they include plenty of useful hints.

Those are definitely faster than trying Legendary Master of the North. That one is a pain.

Thank you for your comment!
I’ve decided to do Carto instead of Vanq, since I do have one character on each Campaign already which a nice % also, I do not need to do them all. I only need basically 3 more titles.
Tyria – 57,8%
Cantha – 48,9%
Elona – 59,9%

Sweet! I’ll try to download that texture mod tomorrow!

kitten so many memories just woke up after 6 hours of gaming in GW…
Been 6 wonderful years playing that amazing game..

What I can see from HoM you have not completed Eternal Guardian of Tyria, complete this and you will get Legendary Guardian automatically and you will get 2 achievements point.

Each mission can be heroed with ease http://gwpvx.gamepedia.com/Build:Team_-_7_Hero_Player_Support

I farmed Faction by solo vanquishing with heroes. It was relatively fast and undemanding.

Just a heads up with Cantha, remember you need to do the pvp zones of FA & JQ which might get you stuck like me towards the title.

They’re pretty easy to do. Both are small zones, if you die it’s not a big deal because it’s a PvP zone which means there’s no death penalty and both get so many leavers, afkers and bots that it won’t be a big deal for your team that you’re mapping instead of fighting.

You might need to do each one twice (once on each team) to get the full map but that’s the worst of it.

Vanquisher is way, WAY easier than Cartographer, with a decent hero group you can face-roll all the maps in the game. You can even do the vanquisher the same time as the Daily Zaishen Vanquisher so you gain coins to get z-keys at the same time.

@Danikat.8537 really? well then i geuss i need to try more often/prime time to get that done, its been the biggest issue for my legendary cartographer title that i CAN’T find a match when i sit in those zones.

I still have GW1 installed, and I jump on from time to time to reminisce haha. So if you want, I’d be glad to join you for a vanquish, I’m looking to get my HoM score up too, but gave up because I didn’t really want to play alone. Mine is no where near as close to finishing as yours though, I think I’m only 32/50 or something like that. Regardless, happy to jump on to GW1 again to play, would certainly bring back some fun memories

My goal from the start, when I began my journey in gw1, was to get my God walking amongst mere mortals -title. I’m just 3 max titles away, but the only titles I got left are things like Zaishen, Kurzick, Candy, Alcohol, etc… any tips for these titles would be greatly appreciated!
