Calculate Your Guild Wars Hall of Monuments Points
Enter your current progress in Guild Wars 1 to see your estimated Hall of Monuments (HoM) points, which unlock unique rewards in Guild Wars 2. Each contribution has a maximum point value.
Your Hall of Monuments Progress
Formula Explained: Hall of Monuments points are calculated by summing the points from various contributions, each with its own maximum. The total sum is capped at a maximum of 50 points. This calculator aggregates your progress across these categories to give you your current HoM score and how much more you need to achieve the prestigious 50/50.
What is a Hall of Monuments Calculator?
The Hall of Monuments (HoM) Calculator is an essential tool for players transitioning from Guild Wars 1 (GW1) to Guild Wars 2 (GW2). The Hall of Monuments itself is a unique feature within GW1, serving as a shrine in the Eye of the North outpost where players can display their achievements, rare items, and titles earned in GW1. These displays are not just for prestige; they directly translate into a system of legacy rewards within GW2, ranging from exclusive cosmetic items, titles, pets, and even unique armor and weapon skins.
A Hall of Monuments Calculator helps players track their progress towards these GW2 rewards. By inputting their current achievements, such as the number of maxed pets, unique armor sets, or completed titles like God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals (GWAMM), the calculator estimates their total HoM points. This allows players to understand their current standing, identify which contributions they still need to complete, and plan their future GW1 endeavors to maximize their GW2 rewards.
Who Should Use This Hall of Monuments Calculator?
- Veteran GW1 Players: Those returning to GW1 to complete their HoM for GW2 rewards.
- New GW2 Players with GW1 Interest: Players who want to explore GW1 to unlock unique cosmetics and items in GW2.
- Achievement Hunters: Individuals aiming for the prestigious 50/50 HoM status.
- Efficiency Optimizers: Players looking to strategically acquire HoM points with minimal time or gold investment.
Common Misunderstandings About HoM Points
One common misunderstanding is the direct correlation between the number of displayed items and the points. While many items grant 1 point, some categories have caps, or items contribute fractional points. For example, while you might display 20 unique miniatures, they collectively contribute a maximum of 10 points to your overall score. Similarly, achieving the GWAMM title grants a significant boost of 5 points, but other individual titles typically don't contribute points directly unless they are part of the 50/50 title achievement. Our Hall of Monuments Calculator accounts for these nuances, providing accurate point estimations.
Hall of Monuments Calculator Formula and Explanation
The total Hall of Monuments points are an aggregation of points earned from various contributions across five statues in the Eye of the North. Each contribution type has a specific point value and often a maximum cap. The final total HoM points are capped at 50, regardless of how many "raw" points you might accumulate beyond that.
The formula is essentially a summation of points from each category, with each sum being capped at its individual maximum, and the grand total capped at 50:
Total HoM Points = MIN(50,
MIN(10, Points_from_Pets) +
MIN(10, Points_from_Heroes) +
MIN(10, Points_from_Miniatures) +
MIN(5, Points_from_ArmorSets) +
MIN(10, Points_from_Weapons) +
MIN(10, Points_from_Relics) +
Points_from_GWAMM +
Points_from_5050_Title
)
Where:
- Points_from_Pets: (Number of Maxed Unique Pets) * 1 point. Max 10 pets.
- Points_from_Heroes: (Number of Maxed Unique Heroes) * 1 point. Max 10 heroes.
- Points_from_Miniatures: (Number of Unique Miniatures) * 0.5 points. Max 20 miniatures for 10 points.
- Points_from_ArmorSets: (Number of Unique Armor Sets) * 1 point. Max 5 sets.
- Points_from_Weapons: (Number of Unique Weapons) * 1 point. Max 10 weapons.
- Points_from_Relics: (Number of Unique Relics/Trophies) * (10/30) points. Max 30 items for 10 points.
- Points_from_GWAMM: 5 points if GWAMM title achieved, else 0.
- Points_from_5050_Title: 5 points if 50/50 Unique Titles achieved, else 0.

Practical Examples Using the Hall of Monuments Calculator
To illustrate how our Hall of Monuments Calculator works, let's look at a couple of common scenarios. These examples demonstrate how different levels of progress in Guild Wars 1 translate into HoM points for Guild Wars 2 rewards.
Example 1: The Casual Explorer (Target: 10 HoM Points)
A player who has spent some time in GW1 but hasn't focused heavily on achievements.
- Inputs:
- Maxed Unique Pets: 2
- Maxed Unique Heroes: 3
- Unique Miniatures: 5
- Unique Armor Sets: 0
- Unique Weapons: 1
- Unique Relics/Trophies: 0
- GWAMM Title: No
- 50/50 Title: No
- Calculation:
- Pets: 2 points
- Heroes: 3 points
- Miniatures: 5 * 0.5 = 2.5 points
- Armor Sets: 0 points
- Weapons: 1 point
- Relics/Trophies: 0 points
- GWAMM: 0 points
- 50/50: 0 points
- Result: Total Raw Points = 2 + 3 + 2.5 + 1 = 8.5 points. Total HoM Points (capped) = 8.5 points.
- Interpretation: This player is well on their way to the first tier of GW2 rewards (3 HoM points) and can easily reach 10 points for the next tier by focusing on a few more contributions like pets, heroes, or miniatures.
Example 2: The Dedicated Collector (Target: 30 HoM Points)
A player who has actively pursued various collections and achievements in GW1.
- Inputs:
- Maxed Unique Pets: 10
- Maxed Unique Heroes: 8
- Unique Miniatures: 15
- Unique Armor Sets: 3
- Unique Weapons: 7
- Unique Relics/Trophies: 10
- GWAMM Title: Yes
- 50/50 Title: No
- Calculation:
- Pets: 10 points (capped)
- Heroes: 8 points
- Miniatures: 15 * 0.5 = 7.5 points (capped at 10)
- Armor Sets: 3 points
- Weapons: 7 points
- Relics/Trophies: 10 * (10/30) = ~3.33 points (capped at 10)
- GWAMM: 5 points
- 50/50: 0 points
- Result: Total Raw Points = 10 + 8 + 7.5 + 3 + 7 + 3.33 + 5 = 41.83 points. Total HoM Points (capped) = 41.83 points.
- Interpretation: This player has a substantial HoM score, unlocking many valuable GW2 rewards. They are close to the 50/50 goal and can focus on the remaining heroes, weapons, relics, and the 50/50 title to reach it.

Key Factors That Affect Hall of Monuments Points
Achieving a high Hall of Monuments score requires dedication and strategic planning in Guild Wars 1. Several key factors influence your ability to gain HoM points:
- Time Investment: Many HoM contributions are time-gated or require significant playtime. For instance, obtaining all maxed unique pets and heroes can take many hours of gameplay, exploring different regions, and completing specific quests. Titles like GWAMM are massive undertakings, demanding completion of numerous other titles.
- Gold and Material Costs: Acquiring unique armor sets, weapons, and relics often involves substantial gold or material investment. Crafting Obsidian Armor, for example, is notoriously expensive. Players might need to engage in extensive farming or trading to afford these items.
- Game Knowledge and Exploration: Knowing where to find specific unique items, how to complete certain quests for heroes, or which areas are best for farming particular materials is crucial. Exploration of all campaigns (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North) is often necessary.
- Completion of Campaigns and Quests: Many heroes, pets, and unique items are tied to story progression or specific questlines within the various GW1 campaigns. Completing these is fundamental to unlocking contributions.
- PvP/PvE Skill (for Titles): While GWAMM is primarily a PvE title, some titles that contribute to the 50/50 title achievement might have PvP components. High-tier titles often require mastering different aspects of the game.
- Community and Trading: For very rare miniatures or unique items, engaging with the GW1 trading community can be vital. Some items are no longer easily obtainable through gameplay and must be purchased from other players.
Understanding these factors helps players prioritize their efforts and efficiently work towards their desired Hall of Monuments score.
Hall of Monuments Calculator FAQ
Q: Do all items I display in my Hall of Monuments grant points?
A: No, not every item displayed grants a point. Many items contribute, but each category has a specific maximum point value. For example, you can display more than 10 unique weapons, but only the first 10 will contribute to your HoM score (1 point each, max 10 points for weapons).
Q: How do miniatures contribute to HoM points?
A: Each unique miniature grants 0.5 points towards your HoM score. This category is capped at 10 points, meaning you need to display 20 unique miniatures to reach the maximum contribution from this category.
Q: Is the GWAMM title mandatory for 50/50 HoM points?
A: No, the GWAMM title is not mandatory to reach 50/50 HoM points. However, achieving GWAMM grants a significant 5 points, making it one of the most efficient ways to boost your score. It also counts towards the 50/50 Unique Titles achievement, which grants another 5 points.
Q: What happens if I go over 50 "raw" points?
A: The total Hall of Monuments score is capped at 50 points. Even if your combined contributions theoretically add up to more than 50 points, your displayed HoM score and the rewards unlocked in GW2 will not exceed 50 points.
Q: Can I reset my HoM contributions in GW1?
A: No, once an item or achievement is dedicated to the Hall of Monuments, it cannot be undone or removed. The contributions are permanent for that character.

A: GW2 rewards are unlocked at specific HoM point thresholds: 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 points. Each tier grants unique cosmetic items, titles, and other valuable unlocks.
Q: Do different characters on my GW1 account share HoM progress?
A: Yes, Hall of Monuments progress is account-wide for your Guild Wars 1 account. Any contributions made by any character on that account will count towards the single HoM score linked to that account.
