I initially thought that might be the case too, but now I think this is a much more likely reason for them being stackable:

Now i gotta ask new players if they got a mini kanaxai >: )

Well I got a Water Djinn...

*cough*

Or maybe since they're stackable..... a new trader eventually shows up after the anniversary event to give you another type of present (with a chance for new/rarer minis) after you hand in multiple unopened 7th years.

That would piss off even more people. Don't think it's happening.

Agreed, no way they're going to do that without telling anyone.

Maybe it was implemented poorly and the new ones aren't in the gifts. Just a thought. The wiki is still very active. If the minis besides the 1-5 year minis were in the gifts, they would have been posted by now. Nothing has ever taken a week to make its way onto wiki. The community is just too good with the wiki for that.

I have a feeling that's what happened.

esthetic · May 01, 2012, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Why do you think it has to be different from what it says already on wiki. You get a purple gold or green from the prior years of mini's (no whites).

Isnt that good enough for you and lets move on..

Cause whats written on the wiki is only what we know so far. And we have a direct statement from a game developer saying that there are more to be discovered.

PS: I'm the guy who wrote whats on the bloody wiki. And it's based off the information found in THIS thread.

Patience god dammit! Even if droprate is 1:1000 there's no guarantee we will even see one drop in the first month. Heck, even if it's 1:100 it could simply be bad luck.

And for the really, seriously rare miniatures such as panda / kanaxai (if these are possible drops) they wouldn't suddenly flood the market with them. Droprates in the range of 1:10 000 (estimated Polar Bear droprate) and 1:100 000 (some EL tonics from zchest) have been used before. And would likely be used again in an instance such as this. Primarily they're adding miniatures to help people complete HoM and then they're giving it a fun twist by adding something unknown.

For previous year items such as 6th year Tonics droprates have been 1:100 or so at worst for the top end ones. Here it's on a completely different level.

I'd just like an official answer to put an end to these doubts. Be it crazy rarity, bug or whatever, it should be clarified.

Wenspire · May 02, 2012, 01:42 AM // 01:42

Got a CCMarley and a Kirin (I think that's what it was) from two so far.

Patience is the key word here.

I would hope that they wouldn't want a repeat of the trouble they caused over the mini pig/celestial pig situation......

Wasn't that enough?

Currently most 7th year players are probably doing something else, their HoMs filled a long time ago, their interests swifted, their accounts maybe banned, or worse.

So all we can do is wait and see.

If no one gets a new one within a year, either the gifts are bugged, or the rates are way too low and should be tweaked a little.

Yeah, just look at the Zaishen Chest. After like a couple of months they made a statement that there were still drops to be discovered but they those drops were simply put very rare.

I just gotta laugh at crybabies that probably don't even have a 2 year old character whining about this shit.

jazilla · May 02, 2012, 03:57 PM // 15:57

If the drop rates are as low as they look then I am just going to sell the gifts unopened. They are worth more that way to the players willing to throw ectos at a gambler's chance.

Agreed, I still play and my hall is full and rather then take a chance on a repeat I think I'll just sell them unopened. I have 6 chars. coming up on their 7th in the next couple of months.
