Hall of Monuments

Description
The Hall of Monuments is an explorable area in Eye of the North that displays in-game player achievements and serves as a key location in the evolving storylines of EotN and Guild Wars Beyond. Achievements include acquisitions (of heroes, armor, weapons, and miniatures) and accomplishments (titles). The HoM can display progress for an individual character or for the entire account, by asking Kimmes The Historian to toggle the view.

ANet plans to add a Hall of Monuments to Guild Wars 2, which will tie the games together. There will be specific rewards to players in GW2 based upon 'account achievements in GW. (See the Guild Wars 2 official HoM FAQ for more details.)

Getting there
The Hall of Monuments is located North-West of Eye of the North.

Exits

Monuments
Monuments are activated by using a Monumental Tapestry. The tapestry will then hang on the wall and display an artistic backdrop of the monument's achievements. Once individual submissions have been made, statues will appear in the monument's area depicting the submitted item.


 * Monument of Fellowship &mdash; Heroes and animal companions (Displays 5 at a time.)
 * Both heroes and animal companions must be in your party to be added to the monument. Additionally:
 * All heroes must have received an armor upgrade (except for M.O.X., who has no armor upgrades).
 * Animal companions must be level 20 with a dire, hearty, or elder evolution.
 * Any animal companion will grant the generic "Animal Companion" statue.
 * The "rare" pets &mdash; Imperial Phoenix, Black Widow, and Black Moa &mdash; each have individual statues.


 * Monument of Devotion &mdash; Miniatures (Displays 20 at a time.)
 * Miniatures become dedicated when you display them in the monument. A dedicated miniature cannot be displayed in any other character's monument.


 * Monument of Honor &mdash; Titles and Achievements (Displays 5 at a time.)
 * This is the only monument that does not require a monumental tapestry to activate.
 * It contains statues for completing a campaign, for earning titles, and for conquering elite areas.
 * The minimal rank for PvP titles is currently rank 6 for Hero and rank 3 for all the other titles.
 * As your rank in the Kind Of A Big Deal title increases, the floating figure in this monument becomes more prominent.


 * Monument of Valor &mdash;, Tormented, and Oppressor's weapons (Displays 11 at a time.)
 * Weapons must be equipped to add them to the monument, and they will become customized to the character upon doing so.


 * Monument of Resilience &mdash; Elite armor sets (Displays 5 at a time.)
 * The complete armor set (excluding headgear) must be worn to add it to the monument.
 * The armor on the statues will be dyed the same color as the chest armor your character is currently wearing. The color will update whenever the monument is refreshed (add a new armor or rearrange the display).
 * If your current armor was dyed prior to the Nightfall dye update, the armor on the statues will be shown in the armor's default color.

Full Hall of Monuments
The Hall of Monuments is considered "full" when each monument is displaying the maximum number of viewable submissions.

The maximum number of viewable submissions at each monument are:
 * 20 Miniatures in the Monument of Devotion
 * 5 Heroes or Pets in the Monument of Fellowship
 * 5 PvE or PvP Titles or Achievements in the Monument of Honor
 * 5 Elite Armor sets in the Monument of Resilience
 * 11 Destroyer, Tormented, or Oppressor's weapons in the Monument of Valor

Completing the above, of course, does not stop you from adding as many entries to each Monument as you like, the older submissions will simply go out of view. You can "rearrange" the monument to see them again.

A Full Hall of Monuments will improve the appearance of the Monument of Honor by 1 rank, allowing you to obtain the Rainbow Phoenix at rank 1 of Kind Of A Big Deal instead of rank 2.

Kimmes The Historian can switch the view of your Hall between character-specific and account-wide. It is possible to have a full Hall in the account-wide view, even if none of your characters have a full Hall by themselves.

Guild Wars 2
Rewards in Guild Wars 2 are earned based on a system where each monument has a set of requirements that must be fulfilled to earn points towards your overall rewards. These points are based on your account-wide monuments, not on individual character monuments. The maximum number of points awarded by each monument is summarized below.


 * To see the rewards you have currently earned on your account, check out the official Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator.
