You might get lucky.

Even if the odds are against you

I'll give you all mine then ( 43 ).

Not really though.

I wish I had 43 Mini-Pigs.

In addition to the festival rewards mentioned above, two special miniatures will be available this year. For those lucky enough to receive multiple miniature pigs during last year's celebration, look for a special collector with a celestial surprise for you. And watch those Lunar Fortunes closely. Your immediate future just might include a miniature Celestial Rat in your pack.

I must be reading this diferently from the people selling/buying mini pigs for stupid amounts, let's see, all this says is people that have multiple mini pigs will have a chance to use a collector to get a celestial rat(5 pigs for 1 rat? probably something like that), but the celestial rat will still be available for everyone on the Lunar Fortunes...

It's all speculation at the moment.

/fustration @ deleting my mini-pigs for storage space a while back

puffzilla · Feb 07, 2008, 04:45 PM // 16:45

they might have made a celestial pig. 3-5 for one of thoses.

Got to love this kind of stuff to get people to crack open their storage wallets

Longasc · Feb 07, 2008, 04:47 PM // 16:47

They probably had good intentions again...^^

Super Stupid ideas - maybe not among the top 3 stupid ideas, but stupid enough to be mentioned:

1.) One more item consumption title (Party Animal)
- Extremely sad as many people will bite themselves in their arses for using up all the snowmen and stuff for FUN before this title was introduced.

2.) Giving a special reward for last year's mini
- Seriously, they forget that many people have more than 1 char. They used them up in their other HoM's or sold them. Who is keeping these pigs? And now they are suddenly valuable... DOH!

Totally screwed up ideas and logic. Who had this idea, and how could the majority of responsible people at ANet (I guess they discuss such ideas) agree on that???

CougarTheTall · Feb 07, 2008, 04:51 PM // 16:51

I'm fairly confident that ANET did this with the pigs so that they could all gather around a big giant screen and all read guru and laugh at the 16 pages of people yelling WWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Ctb · Feb 07, 2008, 04:54 PM // 16:54

In related news, ANET has managed to create the single worst economy of any online game ever in the history of anything.

So... I guess my point is... "duh".

We don't even know what it is. Gamble away!

Anyone trading in the mini-pig gets a permanent meteor shower targeting them whenever the go into an instanced area.

PinoyRurik · Feb 07, 2008, 05:15 PM // 17:15

LOL.
I actually had 20 mini pigs and have given them away.
Im not saying im mad at my self because What i felt helping others greatly outweighs what I may get in those collectors.

BTW for those people whos buying pigs for 100k, I feel bad for you.
Anything that comes from a collector is never worth more than 10k.

And there is so much supply of pigs, anything you trade with those would be the next..... MINI PIG!? but in a different form.. MINI RAT.. SUCKERS!

P.S. I feel A.net is really messing up GW 1 so we can all hate it and play GW 2. Make Sense?

Ouchie · Feb 07, 2008, 05:21 PM // 17:21

If we look back to last year Anet has made some changes which I personally think reflect what the community complained about.

1. Too many mini-pigs - now we can get rid of some
2. Some of us did all the work to get the ingredients while others just stood around - this year we get a reward to give items in - good job here
3. Don't do the rats the same way as the pigs - looks like they won't

So.... seems like a good deal to me

Mr. Undisclosed · Feb 07, 2008, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Its a bit late to be addressing those concerns, should have done it on the last day...

Cacheelma · Feb 07, 2008, 05:30 PM // 17:30

The thing is, people had been "getting rid" of the minipigs all through the year, one way or another. So, introducing a reward for NOT doing that now (despite the very limited storage and no hint of what to come) is just plain wrong. It'd be fine if they had introduce such fix right after the event (or better, during the event).

Agreed.

Although this might have been mentioned before, the thread was too long for me to read through entirely.

We arent certain it is a mini pet we trade them for :P i could just be bags or something.

Also the price seems to have stuck at 20-30k rather than 100k :P

Who knows maybe this is a trial for a new mini-pet trader

Also do we know if we can trade dedicated mini-pigs in?

Darkobra · Feb 07, 2008, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Yes, we can. It's been stated throughout the thread.

(Confirmed) There Will be two Minipets Available
(Confirmed) The Celestial Rat Minipet can ONLY be obtained through Lunar Tokens
(Confirmed) The Special Collector will Require Two or More Mini Pigs in exchange
(Confirmed) The Hats for this year's Canthan New Year is the Lion Mask, same as last year, with a possible twist if I recall.
(Confirmed) The Event at the End of the Festival will not award a Minipet, instead something New and Cool will be awarded.

Where else do you see the Second Minipet being awarded other then the Collector?

Although Gaile DID state that Top Winner's in the Roller Beetle Races will be rewarded with something special, which could only be the other place I can Imagine.

Minipet for 9 Rings or Rock-Paper-Scissors?
