Does Anyone Have Or Know Of An Easy Way To Get A Unique Miniature? - Guild Wars Forums

Kagome · Feb 07, 2011, 10:13 AM // 10:13

I've been trying to fill out my Hall of Monuments Calculator but I don't have any unique minis. :[

Is anyone willing to sell/trade for one or know of an easy way to acquire one? All of the ones I got were from birthdays.

If you have all campaigns you can get the Black Moa Chick yourself on any character!

gremlin · Feb 07, 2011, 11:39 AM // 11:39

They should maybe do some more magazine promotions for the newer players that or competitions.

Asura - Grey Giant - Kuunavang - Destroyer all came from one promotion or another.

Otherwise the black moa chick is the only one I think

Varesh & kuunavang, buy Fact or NF Collectors edition, Black moa chick easy to get from quests, Other then that just buy some Bday green. Like bone dragon which is quite cheap

Kuunavang is the only "Unique" (Green Text colour) minipet from that list and it only came with Factions Collectors Edition. All the others are golden minpets and are classified as "Rare".

@OP. AS others have said. the easiest one to get without trading ingame is the Black moa chick.

You can of course also buy any green undedicated minipet through ingame trades. The cheapest one at the moment is the Bone Dragon (1st year Unique present) I think.

if you have some extra gold hang out in eotn outpost and you could buy one or like it was said before black moa chick is easy to get if you have all campaigns

The varesh mini used to go for around 10-15k before the HoMC was released... now you can expect it to be somewhat more. As has been stated above, the bone dragon is also a pretty inexpensive one. Kuunivang is one of the more sought after (and therefor more expensive... costing somewhere around 250k+). I don't normally bother much with trading, but if you're interested in buying a mini varesh (unded of course) PM me or contact me in game.

Black moa chick!!

1. Go fite the norn tourney! If it's hard for you to do, just use a 12/12 communing/channeling build with SoS and all the other damage spirits. Doesn't matter what your profession is, you can fight enough of the tourney this way to find and beat Zho, to gain her journal.

2. Go on scavenger hunt! Yay! It's all in the wiki.

3. Go to sorrow's furnace and get lava poured on your head!

BAM! Green (unique) mini, all yours.

edit: The primary reason i suggest this, instead of just buying one, is the experience.
Black Moa Chick = You go play the game all over the known game world. Fun.
Other green minis = You stand in kamadan saying "WTB" for an indeterminate amount of time. Boring.

If you've got lots of gold, then there's certainly options to buy out there, but other than that, I agree with the other posters that a Black Moa Chick is the way to go. If nothing else it's a fun little scavenger hunt. My wife's account doesn't have nightfall and so I did it twice and gave her one.

Quaker · Feb 07, 2011, 04:49 PM // 16:49

You can get a green Miniature Yakkington mini-pet from Nickolas the Traveller. It's rare, of course.

TheRaven · Feb 07, 2011, 10:36 PM // 22:36

As others have said, the Black Moa Chick is your best option.

Players generally fall into 1 of 2 categories.

Category 1: The do-it-yourself'ers. They prefer to earn titles by vanquishing, doing dungeons, missions, carto and skill capping themselves or with friends and generally have a good time doing it.

Category 2: Can't be bothered with long boring tasks and will pay someone for the things or titles they need. These folks have usually mastered a few areas of the game that they think are fun like UWSC or Raptor Farming and use the cash they earn from that to pay for everything else. They're the ones buying consets, dungeon runs, 50 minis and 15 HoM weapons from anyone selling them.

Which category are you in?
Category 1: Get the Black Moa Chick. It's a long but fun scavenger hunt.
Category 2: Bone Dragon - Year 1 Green Birthday mini is probably the cheapest.

Ok I'll do the Black Moa Check thanks!

We hatched a moa chick tonight, actually.

Remember, to hatch it, you don't have to do the whole "To Sorrow's Furnace" quest chain slog (though it's good for a statue in the HoM) -- you just have to:

1. Join up with someone who has completed Final Assault
2. Have everyone in the party abandon all Sorrow's Furnace quests
3. Step out, talk to Ennis, and go go go.
