my first mini I ever got was a gold rurik on my warrior

I logged on today after a long time not playing, I had a birthday present on most of my characters, my warrior got a gold water djinn

I also got a jade armor, fungal wallow and 2-3 other whites i think

I've never had a mini so I can't say anything >.>

Shadowspawn X · Jul 29, 2008, 04:40 PM // 16:40

I have one character 3 years old and two others. Best I ever got was the purple burning titan. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

My account - 13 slots over 3 yrs, 5k+ hrs (most are getting 2nd) got 1 purple kirin, 1 purple titan, all whites all the time

My friends old acct (prophecies only, 400hrs, also started during beta like mine, 4 chars 2 max) this year I got back to back Beast & Bunny and the usual whites. I use this account for storage, trading, and holidays only.

I got two Shiros right off and then crap after that. My second birthdays seem to be going the same way, since Kurenai got a mini Gwen while the next in line got a Mandragor...

Oh man, where do I begin? lol

I have 12 character slots, and won't have a second birthday until September. Most of the minis I've obtained are ones I bought. And most in my store are ones that I got duplicates of.

Here is what I got (don't remember exact numbers, and some I got from friends who didn't want them but they're still duplicates, they didn't want them because of the same reason):

Burning titan (first one ever, surprised I got a purple)
Charr Shaman
Siege turtle
Jungle troll
Jade armor
2 Hydras
2 Fungal wallows
*4* Whiptail devourers (grrr, and those were all back-to-back)

So yeah I have the worst luck with minis. Just once I'd like to open a gold or green one...or a good purple (or even white) that I don't have.

If you ask me, if your account gets one mini on a birthday it shouldn't get it again. Now if you buy a pet and then get one as a present it shouldn't count. But you shouldn't be forced to get the same mini like four to five times that you've already gotten on the same account. It's uber annoying and they're hard to sell because they're so common that everyone has them.

ShadowStorm · Jul 30, 2008, 04:42 AM // 04:42

All of the mini's I've gotten are whites. And get this, the only 2 third year minipets that I've gotten so far were the same: 2 Roaring Ethers

BabyJ · Jul 30, 2008, 04:58 AM // 04:58

I have had the worst luck with presents. Out of 9 characters I got:
3 whiptails
1 wallow
2 hydras
2 jungle trolls
1 titan

2nd years so far
wind rider
fire imp
Djinn (i almost shit my pants when i finally got a gold one)

I have a few more 2nd years coming up soon and a couple of 3rd years. I'm not holding my breath for anything good.

Oh yeah, and my 2nd account has had 3 first years and those were a necrid horseman and yep, you guessed it 2 more of those oh so lovely whiptails.
I swear I'm cursed to get those things.

Tender Wolf · Jul 30, 2008, 05:04 AM // 05:04

I have something to add:

In reading all these things, it makes me wonder if people with CE get better minis...same with characters that aren't played as often.

To me, I don't care what color it is as long as I don't have it. I'll take any of them because I love them. But if they're duplicates at least make them something good that I can sell or trade for something good.

Or, better plan, like I said in my previous post, if your account gets one mini it shouldn't get it again as a present (bought ones don't count). That would make everyone happy.

Lyonette · Jul 30, 2008, 05:11 AM // 05:11

i got about a dozen white minis before i got a mini of rarity [mini gwen <3], then after her my next character in line for a mini got a charr shaman, so hopefully my luck with the gifts is improving

Nick Of Troy · Jul 30, 2008, 12:03 PM // 12:03

I've had 2 first year birthday prezzies so far

1. Kurin
2. Temple Guardian

Still got them both

Hyper.nl · Jul 30, 2008, 12:44 PM // 12:44

I opened one present and it gave a Charr Shaman (In pre-searing). Quite nice for a first years.

The other first years I sold unopened in post-searing. (Because I already bought the full first year set earlier.) I'm still waiting for my 2nd years to arrive. (In a few months)

As an owner of Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall CE, I can call BS on this one

'Best' I ever got was a Purple Kirin.

thral · Jul 30, 2008, 01:45 PM // 13:45

best ive gotten was charr shaman, not bad i guess but 3 hydras out of 5 prezzies is annoying.

Shadowhaze · Jul 30, 2008, 01:48 PM // 13:48

First I got was a Whiptail and then some other white ones. Best one was a Kirin.

ImpressiveSkilled · Jul 30, 2008, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Not that bad:

Aatxe
Temple Guardian
Burning Titan
Water Djinn

Necro Quink · Jul 30, 2008, 02:33 PM // 14:33

Ultima pyromancer · Jul 30, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

3 thorn wolves
3 mandragor imps

romeus petrus · Jul 30, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

For some reason I keep getting a lot of aaxtes. Must be my fondness of UW. I prolly have at least 6 of them floating around in my chars/mules.
