My problem is that I have so many common unwanted miniatures that taking too much space even in my storage characters. I am also neglect to trade.
So I am hoping A-net would come up with an NPC to store these miniatures like they do with the pets. Would you support this idea? Thanks!

Technically your HoM already does this. If you could store/create miniatures at will it would be way too easy to abuse unless they were customized in some fastion. Also, this is in the wrong section...

Moved.

There's too much risk of a glitch and the resulting host of duped Asian minis to implement this, IMO.

You're going to have to learn to communicate with other players and trade some of them away.

How bout if when u Ded your mini to the HoM it actually takes it out of your inventory, then when u wanted to use your mini, you go to your hall and put it in your inventory. Just a thought.

Sort of want this due to my mass minis, but only thing stopping me from getting rid of them is my laziness.

/unsigned, not like you can put all 50 of em out at a time, only one.

If they want to release another collection of minis for 5th birthdays it's going to turn really absurd, all the minis thake ridiculous amounts of space and at the same time they would be the easiest items to create a specialized storage solution for.

The minipet storage system could allow only storing 1 mini of every kind, thus requiring only 1 bit of data per every minipet released, double for dedicated and undedicated ones.

Then all that's left to do is the INTERFACE - it could be an npc working like the hat storage guy, except that instead of unlocking you would put in and take out a minipet, which would be certainly easiest to implement. Or with some more work they could make a specialized Xunlai tab or an inventory item (lol pokeball) that would link to a window displaying your minis allowing drag'n'drop (this wouldn't store the data in the item itself as that has a limit of 18 bits per item)

So either a minipet storage solution or no 5th year minis please - give something else, preferably an untradable indicator of age (emote/hat/unmaxable title).

Do you need to keep them?

Jinkies · Mar 07, 2010, 01:15 AM // 01:15

/unsigned. If you care about collecting them then keep 1 of each.. heck theres only 80 of them or so. On the other hand if you don't give a dang about minis then put them in HoM and throw them away.

Alternatively you could buy an account off Amazon for 5 bucks and store your crap there, an npc for storing minis just seems pointless to me.

Storing minis, sounds like a job for one or more mules.

But I want to keep my 20 mini-gwens on my main character!

spirit of defeat · Mar 07, 2010, 11:44 AM // 11:44

I usually give common mini's away once dedicated.

MagmaRed · Mar 07, 2010, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Just add a new panel to the Xunlai which works like the Materials Storage panel. One of each mini will fit into it. Costs $10 at the online store.

guildwarspantera · Mar 07, 2010, 04:22 PM // 16:22

any more storage we can get is great

Kopa The Demon King · Mar 07, 2010, 10:11 PM // 22:11

f you dont want any, then just sit in kamadan and yell FREE MINIS COME ANDGETUM! and theyll be gone in a few moments...I use a muel character to hold my minis, just a hint if you're not getting rid of them.

MithranArkanere · Mar 08, 2010, 04:09 PM // 16:09

I'm getting near the second tab of miniatures. So I would use NPCs that destroy miniatures (Take them from the inventory and 'keep' them), but in exchange they can make you customized copies of it.
Something similar to what they did with Masks.

But storing more than one of each? What for? No one needs more than one of each.

Shadowhaze · Mar 08, 2010, 06:22 PM // 18:22

^Agree. Some sort of storage tab or npc (fixed of course so people coudn't make a zillion of them and resell).
I have a lot of them now. Have gotten rid of some, but want to keep others because they're cute. <3
