Hall of Monuments

Description
The Hall of Monuments is an explorable area in the Eye of the North expansion and will be incorporated in Guild Wars 2 to help tie the games together and reward dedicated Guild Wars players in Guild Wars 2.

Certain in-game achievements and items will allow you to add trophies to one of the five monuments, and each trophy will unlock something, such as an exclusive item or title, for a character on a linked Guild Wars 2 account.

The Hall can be set to display individual character's achievements, or the achievements of the whole account. The view can be switched via Kimmes The Historian.

Note: Having something in your Hall of Monuments does not guarantee that you will get that item when Guild Wars 2 releases; ArenaNet has stated that you will get something, but it may not be the exact item.

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 Pets (Displays 5 at a time.)
 * Heroes must have armor upgrades to be added to the monument, excluding M.O.X..
 * You must have your pets present and evolved (level 20) to add that specific pet to the monument. All pets will get an Animal Companion statue. In addition to this statue, Imperial Phoenix, Black Widow, and Black Moa will be displayed individually.


 * Monument of Devotion &mdash; Minipets (Displays 20 at a time.)
 * Minipets become dedicated (forever) when you display them in the monument. This can only be done once per minipet.


 * 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 displays for completing a campaign, for high-rank PvP or max PvE titles, and for conquering Elite areas.
 * The minimal rank for PvP titles is currently rank 8 for Hero and rank 3 for all the other titles.
 * The minimal rank for Luxon/Kurzick titles is rank 4.
 * As your Kind Of A Big Deal rank increases, the floating figure in this monument becomes more prominent.


 * Monument of Valor &mdash;, |Tormented, and Oppressor's weapons (Displays 11 at a time.)
 * This Monument will only accept Destroyer Weapons from the Eye of the North Expansion and, starting from the 10/09/08 update, Tormented weapons from the Nightfall Campaign. The weapons (and off-hands/shields) will be customized when you do so.


 * Monument of Resilience &mdash; Elite Armor Sets (Displays 5 at a time.)
 * Armor sets must be worn for you to add them to the monument. They must form a complete set (excluding headgear) from a single Elite armor type &mdash; no 'blends'.
 * Armor sets show yourself in the style and the color of the set you wore. It does not show the armor alone, contrary to the wording.
 * Armor is shown in the color of the chest piece you wore the last time the monument updated (i.e. you entered the Hall, rearranged the display, or displayed a new set). Armor using dye from before the dye update will be shown in the armor's default colour.

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 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.
