    Thanks for the advice, but being a dervish, I can't wear any kurzick/luxion armor :(

    All of your characters' achievements are combined to calculate your HoM score. So even if you aren't interested in the other classes, you can just get a mule to Cavalon/House zu Heltzer (doesn't take much time at all now that you know the game) and buy them armor with the money and materials your derv has acquired.

    Edit: Filling in fellowship should be super easy as well. At this point you probably either already have those heroes and just need armor, or have advanced far enough that you can easily get them.

    Edit yet again: Actually the easiest thing may be to get the minimum Zeishen rank, which will give you 3 points in a single go. You could earn keys quickly by doing things like JQ or AB and spending your spare cash (possibly from selling jade and amber) on buying even more keys. Or even do RA and take a shot at getting the min gladiator rank while earning keys at the same time. Either title will give you 3 points for a PvP title.

    Ahh, but I'm a PVE build character, can I obtain the gladiator rank in this way?

    Maybe I would consider the final 5 points but in a slower pace. I don't prefer really hard quests like DoA as I don't really know how to micro all my heroes skills(though I have all the skills available for my heroes as I bought the skill pack from the in-game store).

    Is JQ/AB hard quests for me? and what's RA by the way?

You should get at least 60 war supplies from the three wanted quests (that's 2 medals), and 7 medals from the rest of the quests (not counting any you might get from the gifts). So, even if you are extremely unlucky and don't get any extra medals from the gifts, you must do two or three wanted quests extra. (Presuming you do everything in NM). The story of Gwen and Kieran follows after WiK and is not required (but can be fun). You can still get those candles, but you'll need to walk to the old Ascalon area. So, that's 26 points covered.

    I'd also get at least 2 more "normal" elite armours. That will also give you 1 point and puts it at 27.

    Last: titles. Go for protector of Tyria and Cantha. Go to Sorrow's Furnace (not too hard to do with H/H) and finish that one. And try to get your lucky/unlucky to rank 2. You don't need to max them to put them in your HoM. That will give another point and put it at 28.

    What I'd also try to do is to get either luxon or kurzick to rank 4. Not so much for the statue, but to get enough jade/amber to get an armour. You could even drop a "normal" elite armour then. That will push it up to 29.

    The last point is the hardest. You'll need a few more titles (I'd advice to get skillhunter, as that title will also help your heroes and give you 4 titles). And if you got to rank 4 on Kurzick or Luxon, you'll be done. Otherwise, find somebody to help you clear FoW (which isn't too hard if you know at least some of the way...).

    This is what I should do...
    Thanks for the info!

    I will try that out when i feel like doing so
    However, how does completing Sorrow's Furnace aid in the points? And i must keep opening chest to increase my lucky/unlucky points?

    PvP characters can't access PvE, but PvE characters can access all parts of the game. So: yes.

    JQ/AB (and FA) are easy. Especially in AB you just need to stick with your team and do your best to put guys from the other team in the grave. Very simple.

    RA = Random Arenas. A PvP mode where you are grouped together with 3 other people, making a 4-man team, which is pitted against another 4-man team in a fight to the death (or until the timer runs out). If you win, you get to fight again. If you lose, the team is dissolved and you're kicked out, back to the beach.

    I think a good way to get easy income and have fun with PvP is to do whatever the PvP stuff of the day is using PvP-only chars preferably (so you can reroll easily). I'd advise having a few of those, so you can stack the zcombat missions for later use.

    Good zcombat for newbies are Random Arena, JQ, FA, and AB. They're easy to get into and learn even without a PvP guild. Everything else needs more of a team build, and more experience... And with zcombat rewards, you'll be getting a good income.

    You can then spend that income (kurzick faction, balth faction, zaishen coins, etc) on vabbian armor, kurzick armor, new hero armor shards, minipets, or that PvP zaishen keys title.

    So faction(JQ/AB/FA) is my next stop then? and a PVP title is worth a whooping 3 points wow!

    When you finish the last quest of the Sorrow's Furnace quest line, you'll get a statue in your HoM. There are 4 quests plus the last one and you don't need to do them in one sitting.

    And for lucky/unlucky, yes you need to open chests with lockpicks.

    I wouldn't say PvP is your next stop, it depends on you.

    Put it this way, in the time you get the 3 points from PvP, you could probably have gotten 3 points in PvE via titles etc. PvP is fun especially if you do many things, so I recommend it for that... but if you don't care for it then there are other valid ways of getting points.

    Also, lucky/chests/etc I would avoid, they are relatively expensive if you're just going for HoM points.

    For a different perspective, here's my suggestion for you to get to 29 points (I was going to suggest a Kurzick or Luxon armor, but as you said, a dervish can't get that one):
    http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=d...AAAEAEIAAAAAAA

    You have 20 "titles" in there, and all the titles I added actually bring you money so you can decide to buy stuff for that last point if you want (hero armor [you only need 7, the rest is pets], minipets, a tormented weapon [or an armbrace], etc.).

    I'd go for Protector and Guardian first. Then I'd concentrate on Vanquisher and Cartographer together (while you've got the zone cleared, might as well get the cartographer credit and map it all). As a bonus, this should bring your remaining reputation titles quite high, maybe high enough for you to decide not to buy that 30th point, but to go ahead and make a push for the EotN reputation title tracks (there are 5 if you count Master of the North). If you want to progress reputation titles even faster, try to combine with the Zaishen mission/bounty/vanquish of the day when you feel like it. Of course, bring storybooks as appropriate, as those give a boost of gold and reputation points as well.

    One thing I'd acquire to help me on my quest to 30 if I were you: merchant summoning stones (they'll come in handy if you do the vanquishes and cartography, as you can sell all the stuff you've accumulated mid-vanquish, just summon the merchant far from mobs as he won't talk to you if he can fight). Oh, and maybe rock candies as well, they're useful when you're looking for that last mob you missed. You can either buy them from other players or get them from Nick the Traveler's gifts.

    Also, I'm saying focus on this first, then that, but the truth is, I've worked on multiple titles at the same time when I was going for my own 30 points. Doing so allowed me to play different type of styles without getting burnt out. It took longer to add a single statue to my HoM, but they tended to arrive by groups as many titles would be completed in close proximity.
