What to do with Miniatures after dedication? - Guild Wars Forums

T1Cybernetic · Jan 10, 2011, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Just wondering what I should do with all my Miniatures after I have finished dedicating them all in my Hall of Monuments?

I am only Dedicating them for the Reward Calculator and don't really use many of them except the ones like Kuunavang and the Flame Djinn so I thought I should pop my question in here and see what everyone else has done with theirs?

Is it really worth saving them? If I am not going to use them. Or is there another use for them that I am not seeing.

No other use, really. Sell them or give them away. Some of the rarer ones sell pretty well even dedicated. The more common ones, you'll have a hard time finding someone to take them; in which case, it's store or delete.

Agreed with above. After dedication, decide if you want to keep it and are actually going to get some enjoyment out of it. If no (which is the case for most minipets), sell them if they're in the later years/desirable or delete/give them away if they're early ones. You won't miss them.

I always hoped they would set aside part of the zoo for minipets that or have a minipet npc you could use to create one you had already dedicated and deleted, but I guess the second is open to abuse.

As it is I have one character I don't use carrying all my old dedicated minipets and he is running out of space.

I admit it I am a hoarder

I have around 45 minis that will never see the light of day. I will probably delete most of them when I find the need for storage of something more useful

**cosyfiep** · Jan 11, 2011, 12:40 AM // 00:40

put them on a mule account...and let them just take up space...(if you are a pack rat like me)

or go to ascalon and give them to new players.
(I am trying to figure out what to do with all of mine as well---my hubby has given me all of his as well, minus the turtle which he likes so he kept it)

Bad Company Sin · Jan 11, 2011, 12:44 AM // 00:44

go set them free in the fissure of woe.

*Darcy* · Jan 11, 2011, 01:17 AM // 01:17

There is not much market for the dedicated minis from the earlier years anymore. You can give them away directly or hold in-game trivia contests if you are into that.

Obrien Xp · Jan 11, 2011, 02:37 AM // 02:37

Either put one that you like on each char and stash the rest for hoarding or give them away free or dead cheap to newbies (Ascalon seems the main market).

Tharg · Jan 11, 2011, 03:54 AM // 03:54

can you salvage them???

Gennadios · Jan 11, 2011, 03:59 AM // 03:59

trash everything white or purple, nobody's buying them.

Nobody's buying most other ones either, you'd need some deep discounts, the gold/green ones are mostly wallowing in storage chars atm.

Lord Dagon · Jan 11, 2011, 04:46 AM // 04:46

i collect them, or at least i did until i became upssed with el tonics xD

This guy's got the right idea.

No, you cannot salvage them.

Scars · Jan 11, 2011, 08:39 AM // 08:39

give them away at events or to starters, they normally enjoy them =)

They might breed there and hordes of strangely familiar but malformed minis will assault the players.

Probably not if the mini comes customized to the character, like the Festival Hats. Or just make it untradeable like the ZCoins or Pink Dye.

hehe

run free lil minipets! omg! can set free mini aatxes in FoW, soon... FoW will really = <3

T1Cybernetic · Jan 12, 2011, 12:02 PM // 12:02

Right now they are all on a spare account but storage is almost full, I think there is 70-80 miniatures or there about's.

As soon as I get time I'll stick a thread up in the for sale forum and those that don't sell are getting set free in (you guessed it) The Fissure Of Woe

A mini Aatxe or a desert griffon in fissure would be a surprise to come across

Bright Star Shine · Jan 12, 2011, 12:11 PM // 12:11

Best idea i've seen so far is indeed give to new players. You would do them a huge favor, and make them feel nice and warm inside. :P

That or set free^^
