Hi As looking though the posts about Zcoin rewards noone talks about minipets so i maiswell.

atm i have 13 Gold Coins and intend to get a heavy bag when i have 15 and honestly apart from that there is nothing good for example

Zkey = 1 coin (Basically about 4 hours work for 4k lol)
Everlasting Crate = 50 coin (Pointless item and not exacly good for that ammout of coins)

I dont know what minis you could have but i think this is a fair idea since i belive most people will agree the only item they buy with Zcoins is the equiptment bags

Mini`s is bad idea - atm we have enough minis to contend with .
And the reason ppl buy the bags - go and check out how much ppl are wanting for the largest bags ( prices are in ectos you`ll find ) .
1 bag = xx ectos - im guessing between 100k and 200k in cash.

If you removes useful items from the collectors (that is, the bags, kits, crolls and tomes) all that is left is showy stuff.

Miniatures are pretty showy stuff. So as long as they are not reward chest, festival, birthday or CE miniatures, I don't see why not.

ya they might be alot of minis i think there is 68 in total but about 30-35 are worthless and not worth buying as only atm the 4th years the 2 traveler ones and the promotional ones are worth somthing

Daisuko · May 18, 2009, 04:44 PM // 16:44

/signed if they only use existing minis. I.E.

grawl = 150zcoins
yeti = 200zcoins
oni = 200zcoins
naga = 200zcoins
panda = 500zcoins
...ect up to...
kanaxai = 2500zcoins

obviously these numbers could be skewed however they see fit, but those seem alright to me.

only if THESE minipets (minipets that were special promotion only, but introduced multiple times.)

Not birthday, in-game reward, or festival.

there is a reason there limited though i was thinking more new ones not these as i bet some ppl who would have no live would end up going for kanaxxi no matter the cost

As long as they are real crummy minis, I don't see why not.

So as long as its the minis that everybody has already gotten at least 5 of, its fine. =P

It sort of depends on which minis would be put on, and for how much. I wouldn't be happy about really expensive, high end minis, because that would just cause more grind.

I'm sort of on the fence here too. I like the idea of minis, but they've blown up to a ridiculous degree for something whose only function is saving you from "You're All Alone!" :P It'd be kind of nice to be able to grind up coins for certain minis, but then... limited edition is limited edition. I like the fact that not everyone can get a Kanaxi.

I forgot the Moa Chick.

I meant all miniatures that have already unlimited in-game sources, and all CE miniatures.

The rest will run out soone ror later after being dedicated, so more should be added.

That kind of eliminates people bothering to buy Oni minis and such, doesn't it?

Not really, as Zcoins cannot be traded, therefore you'd have to do all the work for it yourself. And as long as the zcoin requirement is quite high, I see no problem. onis are worth roughly 900e currently as far as I know, so if you could purchase one for 150 zkeys that would be fair. 150 / 5 = 50 x 30 = 900 ecto. (as most large bags are selling for ~30e right now, so 5 coins = 30 ecto.)

either way, anet would be able to set it to whatever they want... anything at least 100zcoins for the low-end minis (grawl, oni, yeti, naga) seems fair to me... you'd have to do the work yourself.

It's the only way to really make those minis "truly" fair to the community as a whole. Such as kanaxai, there are so few of them that they're practically impossible to obtain. if you could get one for say, 1000 zcoins... well that'd take forever to obtain as well, but you COULD get it. (I mean, that's 7,143 70 copper coin quests to get enough gold coins for a kanaxai if it were 1000 gold coins. that'd be 19 quests a day for a whole year.. You can't say that would "omfgbbq ruin minis prices" As long as you weigh the cost of zcoins properly (not to say 1000 is proper, but if you don't PvP, IF both quests average to 140 copper coins (often they're less than that) If it were less, you'd need more characters or take more time... the only real way you could get it in any reasonable amount of time would be PvP.

please the market is over flooded with minis already
I don't think we need any more people spamming
"WTS unded mini troll 5k!!!"

Sooner or later all Onis would be dedicated, so the case won't be no point in trading them, there will be none to trade.

250 Gold coins is expensive enough to make a single people center on a single one for a year or even more.

The miniatures that have already in-game unlimited sources of them, of course, don't need a way to add more.

But for the rest, at least a little quantity of them should be added evry year, to cope with their loss upon things like dedication, accidental character deletion or account hacking.

i would like this if it was like a random gift for 20 gold coins and u had a chance of 5 zkeys, a new rare mini or something like that
