Guild Wars 2

I’d like the mini pet Raccoon, he looks fun. Raccoons are great. This is why I think a raccoon would be happy with me as their friend. Where and how do I aquire a raccoon?

(yes this is an ingame raccoon, please no real raccoons)

You need GW1 with Eye of the North and 21 points in Hall of Monuments.

Lol, yeah I’m not sure I’d want a real racoon. They’re cute but not the most practical pet.

The in-game ones are a reward from the Hall of Monuments. You need to add enough items to the hall in GW1 to get 21 points to unlock it.

How long would this take, approx? thank’s for your quick answers

It depends on a number of factors, mainly how long it takes you to get to grips with the game and whether you’ve got anyone to help you. If anyone in your guild plays/played GW1 ask them to help you out, it makes a big difference.

There’s a guide here to getting points, but I’m not sure it’ll mean a huge amount if you’ve never played the game: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_earning_Hall_of_Monuments_rewards

Someone in the guild did this just before launch but she was going for 30. It was a month packed with a lot of GW1 with some help from people(gold, crafting materials, heroes, extra minis). It could take significantly longer if you don’t have those. Some of it could be made easier if you get all 3 campaigns. Getting a collector’s edition for Factions or Nightfall would help with the mini but that is a large chunk of change for a raccoon.

If you’ve never played GW before and don’t have people helping you, it’ll probably take you a several months to get 21 points if you rush it. Also it’ll cost about $50 since you need both the game and the eye of the north expansion (GW trilogy costs $30 on steam and $20 for EotN, no point on getting an individual campaign since nightfall, that’s the most important for HoM points since it introduces heroes, also costs $30)

The platinum edition is $19.99 and it includes Prophecies and Eye of the North. That is sufficient to get 30 points.

Still take you for ever.

In Oct 2010 I bought the complete collection edition (all 3 campaigns and 1 expansion) for €17.50 …
I installed it, created an account and played very briefly. Never made it out of the starter area.

I just checked the same site I bought it from, and it now lists for €79 ..

Whoa…ok well I will have to be content with following a wild Raccoon around then :/

Thank you all for the help
