Mini Destroyer
there is a mini destroyer of flesh


 * Someone told me it was from PC Gamer GW Special Edition.. I don't exactly know if that is true or anymore details..MiniHellKite 17:58, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * This is entirely true. See the Guild Wars Official Site for more info, however. I have no idea how people have it already... they probably are or know someone who works for a distributor or PC gamer itself (the most logical reason). Until the 25th... Damn them >< Mesodreth Blackwing 209.29.100.146 19:32, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm so buying that magazine! Sirocco 19:56, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

 * I have a subscription to a different Magazine by the same company, and it usually arrives a few days before the release date. So, that's probably how they got it. Biscuits [[Image:Biscuit.png]] 11:17, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
 * So, will you be able to get this from the Europe PC Gamer? L' yra V' alo [[Image:LVS.JPG]] 11:00, 25 September 2007 (CDT)

I assume you can but...
is it possible to get a mini on a PvP chr? i have one almost 11 months old. the only reason i still have him is because i'm hoping i'll get a mini off him. can anyone confirm? i always assumed that you could but i've talked to ppl who don't think you can. can anyone confirm?Curlytop2112 11:47, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I guess you'll be able to tell us in a month, eh? [[Image:ShidoSig_moebius2.gif]] 19:21, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

I've gotten one on a PvP character before. Jay Mcgrath 21:07, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

galery
is it just late or is there no litch in the mini gallery on the bottom of the page? if its not just my eyes on this late time could some1 add one, im not gd at wiki coding. Thempest 19:19, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Fixed.--Gigathrash 19:22, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

hmm, didnt notice but there also is no pic of Gwen, the elf, palawa joko, a hecket warrior and some other mini's so dont mind my last comment too much, its late as i said, though it would be nice if they were added Thempest 19:24, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

"You're All Alone!"
I was looking at YouTube videos and I saw a farming guide that stated having a mini pet with you can prevent "You're All Alone!" from effecting you. Can anyone confirm that this is true? ~  Gold  Dean   - 20:48, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Due to the way they work, minipets are allies that are untargetable (very much like the cows on Shing Jea). --Kale Ironfist 20:53, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Except that those cows can be killed by AoE --Gimmethegepgun 22:35, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
 * We're getting off topic. I'm not in a guild atm so I cant test. The Hobo 22:42, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Having a minipet grants energy from Leadership, so they do count as a nearby ally for at least that. Makes sense that it would work for YAA! as well. What about Horns of the Ox? Easy to test, just bring a mini, get hit, and see what happens. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 21:59, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I didn't think they could be used in PvP? Like collector's edition dances.... 58.110.141.132 00:44, 19 September 2007 (CDT)

Mini Devona
Is this pic real or a fake? MageMontu 06:38, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
 * So fake, that isn't in ascalon city.M Javabean 03:10, 28 August 2007 (CDT)


 * ...... Didn't u think that maybe its during the development of the game?

MageMontu 05:13, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

That is ascalon. Its the barn where devona stands in front of.
 * Yeah, unsigned dude, but the district list says ascalon city.84.9.237.184 05:24, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

The stuff mentioned already pretty much puts this fake to rest...but I'll also point out the devona in the pic is full size...the same size as the player...thus not a "mini".--Thor79••Talk 14:08, 12 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Note the mini Devona behind the player. Crimsonfox

This is more than likely from one of the development servers (especially because of the "Admin Pablo" data being printed out in the chat). Being on a dev server, the admin can do what he likes, like spawn a miniature model of Devona like we see in this pic. It doesn't mean it's in the game though. Biscuits 11:21, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
 * That would explain that while Devona is targeted, the target pane shows an unnamed lvl 0 npc. Mesodreth Blackwing 209.29.103.130 13:45, 19 September 2007 (CDT)

Minipet Contest in PC Gameplay
Ok, I managed to find out that a benelux games magazine called "PC Gameplay" is having an miniature contest. (eu.guildwars.com/pcgameplay)

Rewards are: 650*Grawl 100*Longhair Yeti 100*Naga Raincaller 100*Oni 20*Shiroken Assassin 20*Zhed Shadowhoof And 10*Vizu.

Someone confirm this and update the article.


 * We can expect a massive minipet giveaway of some currently rather rare species. European game magazines have struck a deal with ArenaNet. official GW website. --Istabraq 10:52, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Pre-Searing Mini-pets
I have a character that I have left in Pre-Searing since the Beta events in Spring 05. On her first brithday, she received a Hydra mini-pet. Surprisingly, on her second birthday, she received another Hydra. Is this the only Pre-Searing mini-pet received? Or perhaps do Pre-Searing characters only receive First Birthday pets? --Shira 15:22, 13 September 2007 (EDT)

CE Upgrade
I noticed the other day that the GW Store sells upgrades from the standard to the Collector's Editions. Does anyone know whether this includes the mini pet?Sabardeyn 09:32, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

I just checked the online store and it doesn't offer any CE upgrades MageMontu 16:44, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I went back to double check and couldn't find it either. Apparently I misunderstood one upgrade type to imply the other were available. Definitely "my bad". Sabardeyn 21:19, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

Regarding this edit...
Has anyone ever heard of a mini Destroyer? I don't want to revert it because of GW:AGF. --Macros 18:59, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Apparently, there have been sightings of these minis, and someone even took a screenshot of one they saw in Kaineng Center. Kokuou 20:01, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

I just saw one in Rata Sum but the owner wouldn't comment on its origin.(Mon September 17, 07)

Witness to the Destroyer of Sinew in Rata Sum, American District 1 125.60.241.202 21:28, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I haven't seen one, per se, but I've seen a couple people wanting to buy one. I hung around Kamadan and the Eye for around an hour asking to buy one as well hoping to snag someone who knew something. Suffice to say: I gots nuthin', boss!  -Mesodreth Blackwing 209.29.102.147 01:13, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Gaile confirms their validity here, minipets to be offered in a special edition of PC Gamer. Supposedly details will be posted sometime today on guildwars.com --[[image:Goteki-45.jpg]] Goteki-45  10:59, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
 * This would make PERFECT sense! People with a subscription to PCGamer would already have this special edition magazine, thus the sightings so soon. Mesodreth Blackwing 209.29.103.169 13:20, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

An individual selling a mini destroyer said that they had acquired it from a code in a French language version of PC Gamer.


 * Confirmed here.. &mdash; Corsaire  [[image:Corsaire_Signature.gif]] 03:06, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

Help
How do you add a mini to the nav box? The black moa chick needs added.. I put the nav box on it's page but dont know how to add to it Ravien Coromana 05:37, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Done. You needed to edit the Template:MiniaturesNavBox file. Biscuits [[Image:Biscuit.png]] 11:27, 19 September 2007 (CDT)

Mini Vizu
does anyone else think that the img for mini vizu down the bottom isn't vizu, but nika?

duping?
I was reading the notes and it said "...because of major DUPING players were banned..." What does that mean?Fire Tock 09:12, 22 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Duping mans to duplicate an item. --Vipermagi 09:13, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

Like messing with the game or somehow actually duplicating the item?Fire Tock 09:15, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Duplicating the item - I think it was via a trade glitch. It's since been fixed. Biscuits [[Image:Biscuit.png]] 10:48, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
 * It was done via reconnects. See Game_updates/20070813 or more specifically, its talk page. It was discovered when someone tried to trade 1750 Armbraces of Truth for a miniature Kanaxai, and the person took a screenshot when he realized something was fishy. --[[image:Goteki-45.jpg]] Goteki-45  13:41, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
