Third Years
so sometime in late april my elem should be turning 36 o-o'. any ideas or news on the third year minis :O?-Rawr raven raven 04:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * My guild leader's character recently turned 3, and he CLAIMS he got a mini panda. He did show our guild the panda, but we got no screenshots to confirm if he had gotten it for his third birthday, unfortunately. 68.187.16.3 05:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Gabe
 * His character turned 3? The game wasn't even released until April 28th, still over a month off...and didn't people who had beta chars and such lose them after the beta was over? DKS01 06:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. Your GL is shooting for some massive Epeen points. Call him out on it from us, please.- Am er  ic  an  Wr  ath // Ta  lk  06:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * (Response to myself)What's more, I seriously doubt Anet would ever release a mini that rare to the masses just for a birthday. The reward for playing GW for 3 years is definitely not worth a pet which currently costs around 1500 ectos. That would crash the market in ways I shudder to think about.- Am er  ic  an  Wr  ath // Ta  lk  06:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No way he got a panda.. Anet wouldn't ruin the economy like that. -{[ PUL ]}- 07:29, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Chances
what are the chances of getting a green or gold??? i'd like to know
 * Drop rate/Birthday Present [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 20:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a curiosity I thought might be interesting to share: I have two guildmates that are a couple.  They live in the same house and play on separate computers.  They each have two characters that they created during the betas.  For their first birthday, they both happened to log in at the same time and open their presents at the same time.  They got matching minis.  The second pair did not open their presents at the same time and had different minis.  They didn't think anything of this until the third year gifts came out.  They logged in at the same time again, opened presents at the same time and got matching minis again.  Tried it on the second pair and got the same result.  Now, of course it could be a wild coincidence, but we all thought it was very interesting.  I don't know if anyone has heard of something similar or what it might even mean but it makes me very curious. Any thoughts?Triia 16:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This is purely conjecture, I have no first-hand knowledge of the code behind Guild Wars. It's a common thing in computer programming to "seed" random number generators (RNGs) with the current system time (reference @ Wikipedia). This makes the generated numbers not truly random, but random enough for most general purposes.  It also means that if two calls are made to the RNG at the exact same time, the exact same number will be returned to both.  This is highly unlikely to occur, though, since the RNG will usually use a precision of milliseconds when it gets the system time.  So for this situation, it is possible, however unlikely, that the Birthday Present RNG was invoked at the exact same millisecond by both of them, which would give them both the exact same present.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok... now let's all figure out how to get a green mini every time! RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Celestial rat icon
Yellow Icon + Yellow Background = what is that? &mdash; Poki#3, 21:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right... undoing. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pulpulpullie reverted it back (but added in the Celestial Pig icon too). Anyone has any idea how can we make the icon visible and keep the transparent png? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 19:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrap the image with s that specify a different background?  I think a gray would work best, something like: (top uses #999, bottom uses #666)


 * The title of the image column would have to be shortened to "Icon", otherwise the bg color fills the whole width of the cell for some reason. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As at least a temporary fix, I'll add a background to the images since they're only on the Miniatures page anyway.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  23:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Third Year Pets
What a fucking Ripoff
 * They only made Mad King the green because Gaile Gray wanted it. She already has an exclusive miniature, but they felt they needed to ruin things for everyone one last time in her name. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, cause not getting a Mad King mini just TOTALLY ruins things for everyone. I mean, I don't know HOW I'll cope with maybe not getting one. Oh, wait, I'll cope the same way I coped with not getting a bone dragon-by realizing that it's only a little decorative item that DOESN'T DO OR AFFECT A GODDAMN THING. Yeah, somehow, I think if I can do it, you'll struggle through it as well. Be brave. DKS01 22:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? No one wants Mad King, it's stupid. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I want a mad king tbh. Lord of all tyria 22:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Awesome. I will pay the princely sum of 10g for one. Lord of all tyria 22:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have 17 charaters on two account (+4 char on my storage), and none of them ever had a gold nor a green miniature as birthday present. My oldest one will have it's third present in about a month, i wonder what it will be this time. TulipVorlax 05:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Irukanji. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

anyone else think mini glint would have been cool :D?--Simpson man 16:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The Mini Destroyer is more than 2/3 as tall as my monk. >< --Franzwald 17:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I got a bone dragon for one of my five characters' first birthdays, and a charr shaman for one of the others. That's a little lucky given the drop rates listed on the drop rates page, but not awesome. Haven't gotten too many second-bday presents yet, and no thirds. --OBloodyHell 01:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Gallery suggestion
The gallery has grown to be pretty big. I was thinking that it would be good to move it to a sub-page (like Miniature/Gallery) and just link to it from here, similar to the Hero armor galleries. &mdash; Poki#3, 09:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Different suggestion: nuke the gallery completely? The list of miniatures already include images, is on the same page, and in fact is right above it.  Having the gallery seems unnecessarily redundant in my opinion. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 09:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's also a possibility. Miniatures look exactly like the mobs themselves, and we have pictures of those already. (though some are still a bit low on quality, like the Black Beast) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 10:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Axe the gallery, it's just extra load time. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What Poki said - they're the exact same model/skin, just reduced in size. People can go to the creature's page to see what it looks like.  Hey, that means I can delete all the gallery images!  Yay!  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then. I'm wielding a Article Destroyer Axe of Galleryslaying! (and placing delete tags on images, though I'd leave them around for a few days in case someone would like to do something with them...) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine, I'll allow them to escape my delete-mallet for a while, then. :P &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I think the icons in the miniature list should be kept. I was only advocating the gallery itself to be axed. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 21:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we should keep some image of what the minis look like if only to have a view of how big they are in comparison to a player. Some minis are bigger than others. 69.122.146.84 02:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Except that most of the mini pics were of the mini only - there was no point of reference to figure out relative size. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 03:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Most = all. Yeah, a pic that would show the mini size would be nice, but it's hard to make them stay in place, and player characters can vary in sizes too, so it would have to be a big community project with people that would take pictures by some obvious landmark, or all the pictures would have to be taken by the same character... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 06:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And they'd have to take their armor and stuff off to avoid "glammer shots," and anyone with a Mini Vizu is too fatheaded to put up with that. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

PC Gamer codes
Sometimes, I see some of those special Asura mini-pet code magazines from 2007 offered on ebay (PC Gamer, some European mag, etc). Are these codes still valid at all? 151.213.191.91 18:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If the magazine is sealed, I don't see any reason why not. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * kk, thanks for the speedy response. Just wasn't sure if they had some expiration date. Guess I have to decide if I want to pay money for one or not... hmm, more beer or an Asura... beer is winning atm ;p   151.213.191.91 18:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Ahem
[ The bug] is about it affecting several things. The part about Leadership is an exception to the bug. --- -- (s)talkpage 22:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * "Bug! Although they are ignored by Leadership, miniatures do count as an ally of the owner's party for many skills and can be hit by AoE effects." Thanks for clearing that up, but it still begs the question.  Lacking any evidence that they're not supposed to be affected by AoE effects, what reason do we have for calling it a bug?  It's just observed behavior unless we have some official statement somewhere saying miniatures are not allies and aren't affected by AoE effects.  --68.187.147.210 00:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * They don't appear on the radar. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 01:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I know minipets did effect leadership, when did this change? &mdash; ~ Soqed Hozi ~  15:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Umm, I think one obvious effect which should be observable is if they aggro, since they can range well away from the owner. Go out, pin your party well back, then pull up the mini and see if it can aggro a monster when you are far enough away to not incur aggro. If you bring a res hero you can test this adequately to be sure. And it should be possible to test other things, if you check spells which do damage based on other party members other than Leadership.

PvP
Do PvP only characters get birthday presents too? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.166.50.69 (contribs).
 * Yes they do. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  I~sk8   (T/C) 23:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I note
That the current miniature pages are in fact their "big" counterparts, and I was thinking that perhaps we could create proper pages, eg "Miniature Gwen" and "Miniature Black Beast of Augh" etc? Perhaps a miniature infobox? I could undertake that myself, probably wouldn't take very long. &mdash; Warw/Wick 19:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * One question: Why? You can't really say much about the,. having notes on the big critter page is good enough except for unusual minis like Miniature Polar Bear.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  20:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sheerly for the content; As well as this, if Jedi's idea of us listing common prices gets put forward, we can list the prices of specific minipets, it could list the popular demand for the item, that sort of thing. It seems a bit silly to me not to have seperate articles for minipets and their large versions. Don't know why, but it just strikes me as silly. I'm going offline now, so er.. Discuss it in my absence? :p &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 20:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For the majority of minis, having a page would be silly. Most would consist of an infobox, "A mini from the X year birthday series", and a navbox. A note at the bottom of the big version is much easier. If we do end up with prices, we can see what to do then, but I'd just add the prices to this page instead of making new stubby pages for every mini.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  20:19, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree, but I guess we're all inclined to our opinions. I think that we should either add an infobox to the bottom of the page of the monster, or we should make new pages. I'm all for my new page idea, but eh.  &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 20:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * We already have a navbox, Template:MiniaturesNavBox. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 22:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I dislike the idea of separate pages. As was stated before, most of them will be a single statement and a picture.  I like the current layout or the mini page.  As far as pricing, I really don't think that 66 diffent mini pages with prices on them will be a good idea... Good luck maintaining that. O_o  I would suggest creating a Miniature Pricing Guide page, or something like that, and just have a list of miniatures same as on this page, only without the acquisition info and all that other stuff, but prices instead.  One page, one headache, instead of 66. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Here's a preliminary example. The formatting is still kinda sucky, but it's a start. Have fun with it.

Birthday Presents
RoseOfKali 17:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Make a fixed width, so it doesn't look odd, with one table being really small and the other being much larger. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  18:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * THREE Edit Conflicts... >_<... Anyway, I was trying to write this:
 * Oh, and you could even modify the Cost template to include a field for ecto with a little ecto blob icon. Like ((Cost|100|##e)) with the ##e being the ecto cost and the 100 being, of course, platinum.  Of course, that leaves us with the question, do we include the 100k, or just use pure ecto prices for the rare ones?  And where is the pricing talk? I haven't heard about this until now.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:05, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't price in ectos. Just use values larger than 100k. Ecto prices vary more than the price of minis. It might be 100k+30e one week and 100k+20e the next but still cost 180k. Also, the decision to include prices is a big one since Gwiki has a precedent for not showing prices. This would be related to Suggestions/Pricing guide&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Can someone remind me why we're doing prices? Since everyone can edit a wiki, we keep away from pricing because of differing opinions and fraud. We write about facts, and there's nothing definite in minipet prices. &mdash; Poki#3, 19:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have no idea. Just saw someone talking about it, and if we're gonna do it, might as well try to do it right.  A pricing guide for popular items such as minis is extremely useful for those interested in them, and Guru at this point is getting so outdated it's utterly useless.  I posted a PC 2 months ago and still have no reply on it...  But I do think that before implementation, this needs to be very well designed, or it will come back and bite us in the ass big time.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 02:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For one, pages would have to be fully protected. Two, we would need 2 or 3 admins looking over this. Three, it would require source checking. The admins also need to have an idea about PCing themselves. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 11:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Assigned to mini gwen
Miniature Gwen is probably just the name of some1's char, not of the minipet gwen78.20.153.111 11:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm getting rid of that as it seems fairly obvious that's just a character name. For one thing, I'd be willing to bet that if such a thing occurred (totally unlikely) it would be labeled as being reserved for "Birthday Gwen Doll". Qing Guang 21:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, that name scheme is only valid for the first-year series. Based on this picture at GWW, the second year series got names like "Miniature X".  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hrm. Well, I still don't buy it. Now, if someone can make it happen with a Black Beast of [Argh, I'm not gonna try and get the right number of letters there] or something similarly long-named, then I'll buy it. Or at least when I see the full screen of this, showing that a Mini Gwen was indeed present and that that wasn't the person's name. Qing Guang 22:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I never said anything about that image being proof of a drop assigned to a mini, just pointing out the slight fallacy in your assumption about mini names. I agree that it's extremely unlikely for that image to be valid.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 23:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes. I kind of figured that, just clarifying stuff. :D Qing Guang 23:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... ok, I will change it back then, didn't read this before reverting your edit... Sry. RoseOfKali 04:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Interesting... Someone may have taken a screenshot of an item assigned to him during a PUG or something. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I was in the group that got the miniature assignment... It is 100% valid. The miniature was assigned to a player named Mrz Lady Healer and it was on a run through Cathedral of Flames. We didn't see the drop until after the death of Murakai and we were taking a quick look over the last few drops and there it was. I'm not sure if I still have the original picture as this happened over a year ago but it is completely valid. Mrz Lady Healer was able to pick up the shield that dropped.

 * In theory since heroes etc. auto-pickup actual drops, if you run out of range as the item drops the hero/mini might not be able to pick it up, and it gets left behind. -- ◄mendel► 01:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I have the original screenie that the cropping came from. It doesn't show the mini on the screen however.. it does show the party list and you can tell by the transparency through the drop description and the party list that it is authentic.Celebane 01:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I saw someone with an Eye of Janthir tonic today. Would be really hilarious to see that + a mini, but I suppose the Janthir tonic is one of the new random ones.

Miniature Mad King's Guard
There will be 20 added to the game for the winners of the 2009 halloween art contest.



Three Frogs
I think the 3 frogs should be removed from the list since no one will be able to see them with out Gaile Gray exposing her identity. They will not be sold or traded, so why have them on the list?


 * The frogs have been seen in the past, and are technically mini-pets, so why should they not be on the list? <font color="Red">Random <font color="Blue">Time  09:16, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

All Mini Pets on this list have been Bought, Sold and Traded Except 3, players look at the list to see which mini they want or will get. (Edit) The 3 frogs should have their own section of the page or put in the game as an available mini.


 * There's a note next to them saying that they are unavailable to players, but are owned by Gaile Gray. So therefore there is no real reason (imo anyways) to remove them from the list. Also, I don't see how you can agree to your own statement unless you're two different users using the same ip address. However, from the type of editing done, I find that hard to believe. Chibi Moon Shadow 01:17, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Huh, I was actually just thinking that myself. To me, the primary purpose of the page is to show players the miniatures that they can actually get (even if some of them are super-super-uber-rare, there's still a possibility to get one).  The Frogs are unique and there is no chance that any player will ever get one, so to me they belong in a section on their own.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 04:34, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Eye of Janthir
Someone should set up a group where everyone has one (or at least (the maximum number of minis out) # of people have them) and go through Divinity Coast and take a couple screens :P Also, does the Eye float or go on the ground or what? --Gimmethegepgun 17:36, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm going to be an idiot and ask if you mean the mini one. (which of couse you bo but anyways) ^.^* And now I'll tell you that I saw one a few weeks ago in Sardelac (when Nick was looking for scorched lodestones) and if I remeber correctly it floats above the ground, at about character knee height. If I had rememberd to take a screen I would post it but alas, I didn't. Chibi Moon Shadow 18:24, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

 * I think the orange/yellow aura is it's "battle stance" which we never see in Divinity Coast because it never fights; the pulse thing is a scripted event. And I think it's an awesome minipet. --Macros 02:34, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Next series?
I hope for Tears of Dwayna next year, life size. ^_^ And a Disc of Chaos. And Ventari for lulz over the Zhed peoples. XD RoseOfKali 12:40, December 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * On the first, they'll probably name it after something more commonly seen like Fog Nightmares (if they go black) or Scourge Vaettirs (if they go blue), but that would still be a nice mini. Disc of Chaos would be awesome, especially if they can make it so the mini changes form like the real one; I've been wanting an Apocrypha mini for the same reason. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dr ishmael (contribs).
 * Yeah, Tears of Dwayna is a cool name and they are the size of a miniature already, but Fog Nightmare would be better because they're easier to see. :P I also can't wait for the Celestial Tiger, that's gonna be awesome, too bad it's two more years for the Dragon. :D Looks like the Doctor finally got caught. ^_^ RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:31, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

 * Sheep. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  21:40, December 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) The ambient rooster/dog are probably too simple to make worthwhile minipets - the dog doesn't have any animation at all, and the chickens only peck at the ground. The celestial being itself is pretty big and has to run around the outpost, so I doubt they'd use something as simple as the ambient animals.  The Ox was a special case, as those animals were already relatively large and detailed.
 * Another possibility I just thought of for the Celestial Rooster model (that should've been obvious) is a Moa Bird. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 21:43, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) x2 Lol. Moa bird is as far from rooster as a horse is from an elephant. O_o That would be even more ridiculous than a Phoenix, while equally bad on Anet's part if they did that. The celestial models use very simple textures, so it won't be that hard to upsize a Rooster, and all they need to do is walk, I don't see a problem.
 * And, if you reeeeally wanna stretch it for the Sheep... In Chinese, the Kanji for the animal coming up in 1015 can mean Sheep or Goat, the latter being actually more likely for the zodiac animal, since Goats are native to ancient China, while Sheep were imported. There is one creature that somewhat resembles a Goat in GW, the Gaki. So a star-laden humanoid goat monster ftw. :P In the worst case, they just have to make a goat body for Gaki's head. ^_^ RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:48, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * You're srsly discussing a mini that will be introduced in 5 years? xD Also, I don't see a problem. If they make a mini sheep, what's so hard on developing a new animal? Or will they always do the same like with the celestial pig? (which is actually a Warthog ) Fleshcrawler   Soban  22:22, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was quite bad, considering there is an actual pig model in the game (nice shot in the end of D'Alessio Seaboard mission). Oh well, it was close. :P I will rofl if they make a celestial moa, though. And I'm quite determined at getting a full celestial collection, ANet be damned if they get in my way! >:D RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 00:28, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing Tengu for rooster, Gaki for sheep, Kirin for horse, and Naga for snake, all of which can be found in Cantha, as opposed to a Moa Bird or Forgotten. --Macros 03:42, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on Celestial Summoning Stones, I'd guess that the dog would have to be the wolf, and the poor sheep would be a Dolyak of all things. I do hope GW can stretch themselves to make some mini skins which are more appropriate than just size reductions of in-game models.  These two are prime examples of stretching the boundaries of what a minipet should look like. --Valandil D 19:12, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

How many can a new player get?
Due to the timed minis, and due to ridiculous costs of some of these, I think it would be useful to have both "How many and which minis can be acquired easily by a new player" and "The 20 easiest/cheapest minis to get a hold of for the hall of devotion". Maybe it's just me. --121.44.208.119 10:56, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably the best answer is none? The vast majority come as birthday presents, and it doesn't seem to me that many people are out there selling the cheap first and second years.  That pretty much leaves the advice of "create some characters and wait a year," but then, the new player really isn't so new anymore.  So, honestly, I can't really think of any I would describe as being "easy for a new player to get," since the easy way is to let your account and characters age.  <font color="#660099">Nwash  [[Image:User-Nwash-Eyes.png]] 11:08, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're impatient, check the minipet category at Guild Wars Guru Auctions, there's usually around 10 auctions going on for each of the white minis from all but the current year, and they typically go for <5k, even undedicated. If you go to the "Other minipets" subcategory, you can sometimes find people selling multiple pets in a single lot.  You should be able to find 20 pets without spending anywhere near 100k.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:07, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ugh, kinda a disappointing list. We get Oola, our second freakin Asura mini(worse race added to Guild Wars, EVER), but still no Dying Nightmare/Azure Shadow type creature? Still no paragon profession mini either...one of the NF tusked apes woulda been perfect for that. Then there's King Adelbern, was anyone really clamoring for a mini-Adelbern? And of course, we get Candysmith Marley? A minor, non-storyline NPC who's only around for Wintersday, yet still no margonite, pretty much THE main storyline enemy species of the entire Nightfall campaign? I think when it comes time for guessing next years minis, I'm gonna quit guessing creatures that are actually neat looking or seem like reasonable mini-choices, and instead just guess a bunch of stupid NPCs, maybe I'll start getting a lot more of my guesses right. Only one I sorta got this year was the cobalt(I say sorta, cause I'd guessed we'd get some sort of cobalt or great beast). Although, I DID guess a fire drake as a possible year 3 mini, we didn't get it then and I didn't guess it again this year, guess I shoulda stuck with it. DKS01 12:12, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * Rant rant, wrong wiki for guesses anyway. And I was squirming for Marley, was in love since Wintersday '05, but not crazy for a brain-exploading mutant, so to each their own. Kim is just a boring Krytan female, unless she actually threw snowballs, which I doubt would be the case. Happy about Ventari (Zhed is too pricy, and Ventari looks better anyway, I really wanted a centaur mini), Seer is all cool and alien-ish, and the toxic frog is way better than the old Heket warrior. Oola is the only Asura I actually like! "Butter up the other side and pan fry me, Vekk! I came here to get away from "all the Asura!" Whaddayawant?" And that bird-nest hair is just the worst ever, making it the best ever. XD She reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg. :P Zhu Hanuku is one of those cool monsters I always forget about. I also really wanted the Margonite Paragon, which is one of the coolest models ever made in GW, and as you said, we need a Paragon. Maybe next time... Though, I agree, Adelbern was a WTF? What's funny is that he has the same finger pointing stance as Rurik, but in the other direction, so putting them next to each other would make something like this. :P

So I don't know how they could've got the icons into their Gw.dat in order to extract them.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 01:36, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you certain that the inventory icons aren't downloaded? I think there is an additional compression layer(which gwdatbrowser doesn't comprehend) for inventory icons, and they get extracted when accessed in-game. --Evenfall 02:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * And if there is an additional compression level, I want to know how to decompress it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:33, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * You will have to ask the original uploader. --Evenfall 00:43, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is an additional compression level, which currently only I can decrypt. That's why all the leaks on new items are released on German GuildWiki first since April 2008. The additional compression level is rather simple, but you still have to do the steps the GWDatBrowser does, which is the more difficult part. --[[Image:Warrior's_Endurance.jpg|18px]] numma_cway 00:30, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Er... right. You're the only one, sure.  Granted, I just found out last week, but whatever - you're still acting like the kind of elitist prick we don't like around here.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 01:32, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * What I said only applies to icons of items you haven't seen ingame yet (which are all unreleased items). Those are not visible in GWDatBrowser, but all other things are (such as maps). --[[Image:Warrior's_Endurance.jpg|18px]] numma_cway 22:57, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't use GWDatBrowser. But y'know what, I'm shutting up now because this isn't worth it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 23:40, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

All MINI pics broken
In the past, you could click on a mini icon to get a better closup jpg file of what each mini really looks like. Now, why is there no archiving of a better image of the mini? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.135.59.137 (contribs).


 * I don't recall them ever being like that - by default, clicking on an image takes you to the image page. (While it is possible to make an image link somewhere else, I'm pretty that was never done here.)  If you click on the name under / next to each mini icon, you'll go to the article for the regular creature the mini is based on.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 21:53, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Source of confusion? It works that way on GWW. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  10:57, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Smite Crawler
Could some one change the Image of the Smite Crawler with some shadow or something like this? Looks a lot better.

Mini Naga Raincaller PC Plz
I just got a code for the raincaller from a friend. And I wonder how much I could sell it for. Could anyone help me? --  <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † F1 ©  Talk </b> 17:41, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude. Go ask Rose. But she won't know either. And we are a wiki, we don't record that kind of thing. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 22:04, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

6th Year Birthday presents/miniatures
I have see a lot of people buying the 6th year presents from other people (Keep in mind, I just saw they wanted to buy, if they could actually buy one, I don't know). Is there any information known about these? I haven't made the calculation yet if they can be acquired, but I see Kamadan full of people wanting them. All in between 50e and 90e (I expected it to be much more valuable lolz). --Jorre22225 17:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Presents have always been tradeable; the 6th year ones are no different.
 * These do not return minis, so that's probably why the prices are lower.
 * However, I bet that as people see the tonics, prices will rise. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 18:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Stupid... I would have loved extra minis. To be honest, these tonics are pretty terrible... I have seen all those characters in-game too much. Now we'll have them also in town. Buuuh --Jorre22225 07:00, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Minipets seem to be determined by when your char was created
I created a couple of 'pairs' of characters, meaning created within a minute or two of each other (so 2 chars created at one time and another 2 chars at another time). Each pair gets the SAME minipet year after year (and crappy ones, I might add--as far as I'm concerned), so the presents do not seem to be random. One pair gets a different minipet from the other pair, however. Thus, it appears the creation date then determines what you get. GW-Susan 14:15, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
