Hall of Monuments

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

The Hall of Monuments is a location in the Far Shiverpeaks, part of the Eye of the North. It converts player achievements from the original Guild Wars points, which can be used in Guild Wars 2 to unlock unique rewards for the player.

[edit] The hall in Guild Wars

Primary article: gw1:Hall of Monuments

A player who owns the Eye of the North expansion for Guild Wars can add statues to their hall based on dedicating prestige weapons and armor sets, charming certain animal companions, acquiring certain heroes, and earning certain titles. Each statue and each miniature added to the hall contributes towards adding points at the Hall of Monuments calculator. Players can continue to earn points after the release of Guild Wars 2.

Players can earn up to 50 points: rewards are unlocked after every point earned up until 30; prestige titles are unlocked every five points.

[edit] Rewards

The rewards from the Hall of Monuments are unique — there is no other way to earn them and they cannot be traded between accounts or sold. For this reason, their appeal will be mainly cosmetic; they will not give the player any huge advantages over other players.^[1] Each item can be used by low level characters, and a mechanism (possibly an item similar to a transmutation stone) would allow these items to improve as the player levels.^[2]

[edit] Obtaining the rewards

This article or section contains information about Guild Wars 2 which is known (or is likely) to be out of date. Please read this information with caution and update it with current information if you can.

To obtain these rewards, a player must first "declare an ancestor" using a Guild Wars 2 in-game item^[3]. This allows the player to link their GW1 account to their GW2 account.^[4]

Then, the player must visit an NPC in the GW2 Hall of Monuments, which can be reached from one's home instance^[5]). The NPC can then generate as many of the items as often as the player would like. ^[6]

Rewards and the titles earned via the Hall of Monuments are available to all characters in the player's Guild Wars 2 account. Each GW1 account can be linked to only one GW2 account and vice-versa.

[edit] Available rewards

There are 50 points available from doing different things in Guild Wars. The first reward available in Guild Wars 2 requires one point to unlock and rewards which grant items stop after thirty points, so a "full" Hall of Monuments is not required to gain rewards from the system. After this, the titles "Ghostly Hero", "Flameseeker","Legend of the Mists" and "Champion of the Gods" can be earned at 35, 40, 45, and 50 points respectively.

The rewards are:

3 full armor sets known as heritage armor. These armors are modeled after armors used to advertise the original Guild Wars game.
10 titles. A new title is available for every five points gained. These titles are not part of a series so any title earned through the Hall of Monuments can be displayed by the player.
16 weapons. Several of these weapons are modeled after weapons available in the Guild Wars game.
4 mini-pets.
4 stand-alone armor items (2 gloves and 2 headpieces).
4 ranger animal companions.

[edit] God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals

The God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals title earned in Guild Wars 1 can also be displayed by characters on a linked Guild Wars 2 account.

This is the only title that does not need to be transferred via the Hall of Monuments. ^{[verification requested]}
The title can be displayed by any character on the GW2 account, regardless of how many (or how few) GW1 characters earned the title.
