Is it such a bad trade? - Guild Wars Forums

I recently traded a Mandragor Imp minipet for a golden Sephis Sword, max dmg and req 9, no mods.

The reason is simply because I dont need minipets but I do need a ok Sword.

Thx for repplies

I'd go for it, you really don't have anything to lose cus you don't need the minipet.

GWEXTREEMFAN · Nov 23, 2008, 02:40 PM // 14:40

ye its a good deal really
i mean what are minipets good for?
give me just one reason beside
uh look: i has mini panda running arround me i iz more pro
rather have a weapon wich you can use
and to be honest i love sephis sword skin^^
but looking at the profit making you probably did the worse choice
still the better one

Thanks for quick answers, but I must say I like the mini Panda though ^^

yeah i agree with GWEXTREEMFAN becuase not many people really pay attention to minis. It is great for a little while but then everyone starts getting the same minis. It was a good trade and that sword has a nice skin. Have fun with it.

there pretty cheap, and the sephis actually looks nice. the minis are pretty useless specially if they look like crap. the only one i like is probably the kuna cause atleast it floats.

If you are happy with the trade then it was a good one.

This might be better asked in the Price Check forum if you want to know if the MONEY was worth it. How much do Madragor Imps sell for (and was it dedicated or not) and how much does a req 9 Sephis Sword sell for?

Outside of a few rare ones like the Panda, Kanaxai, Polar Bear, etc., there won't be many people who would say you made a bad trade, even if the price difference was more than 20k.

I like this. There are a few rare pets that wouldn't be a good trade but as mentioned, a pet isn't as useful as a good weapon.

Well, in my opinion no trade is bad.
U have something that some1 else needs/wants and vice versa, so u trade items. If u need that other thing and your happy with it, its a good trade, no matter how much your item or his item is worth. As long as your both happy with it it's all good.
After all ... it's only ingame materials, which aren't important.

I wouldnt lose any sleep over it m8, id say that sword prob be able to fetch 5k. the mini prob 10-12k orso but would be a nightmare to sell.

Sword has a pwnage skin and minipets are useless.

If you took into account the time taken to sell the minipet, then to find a seller with a req 9 sephis you would make far more cash slaying things with the sword in that time

You definately made the right choice.

I agree. Sword MAKES YOU GOLD..How KILL STUFF. The mini makes you nothing
