That would be nice to get a mini for beating Prophecies; since it doesn't have an amulet of the mists or book of secrets...

Can anyone test that, please?

No fear. It's also possible that the Lich Mini-pet is now a reward for the Glint Quest, in Droknars Forge.

Or rather, that's just me hoping it is.

Seeing as Gaile will never get a response from that "E-mail" she sent. It probably is a PvP reward. I just finished all the titan quests today and got a big pile of 110k xp. nothing more.

It's kinda cool. I just now saw a mini Kanaxai in Drok's. I asked around, but no one would answer what it was, so I looked it up on Wiki. If you're gonna strut your mini around, the least you can do is answer a simple question about it. Sheesh.

Hate to tell you this, but your addition to the picture actually looks fake. The main problem with yours is that you've obviously gotten a full sized picture of a skale (I think that's what it is), and shrunk it down, which is why it looks off from the rest of the pic. The other picture looks real. The mini lich fits in with the rest of the image. Also, if you look at the chat log, you can see that two people (presumably the OP who took the screenshot is one of them) says "WTF MINI LICH?!" If you look at it closely, you can see that it fits as well. It's the right font (I know, this isn't much to go on, but some people who make fakes miss the stupidest little bits), the texture of the ground shows through, and it's in the right position. I mean, sure, it'd be good to have some more proof (nothing mentioned on Guildwiki yet or anywhere else I've looked). I'm not arguing that this isn't a fake, I'm simply pointing out how much time would have gone into this if it were.

Since I didn't notice anyone else explain why the image is fuzzy, I'll just take a moment to do it. The guy has obviously compressed the image at too low a setting, to make a smaller file size and less download time. I wouldn't have done it. I've always been taught to lower the size of an image to the lowest possible setting without losing much visual quality. Though, you will notice that the image is only fuzzy around the text, so it isn't a huge issue in this case. The way JPEG works, is it basically removes all the colours that a human eye cannot see. I won't go into it any further, since that is in fact the most I remember from last year at uni, but yeah, that's basically it.

Doesnt look very real to me, but it doesnt matter anyway, theres so many minipets i think a lot of people stopped caring a while ago when they realised minipets were something added just for 12 year old girls.

Uhh... I'm a 19 year old boy, and love mini pets. I want a mini lich, so am hoping it is true (in other words, I more or less care). It's simply my collecting nature. I think the things are cool, and they're a very collectible item, which is just what suits me.

Maybe you should take your gender stereotyping somewhere else. It doesn't add anything to the discussion, and is in fact just damn childish.

I am betting on hoax. if it was real then shouldnt there be more spottings being reported? Wouldnt the chat be filled with people spazzing over it? And I find it hard to trust someone who just joined within the last 3 days.....

Would be nice to be wrong though.

As for it being fake, I doubt it. They released the Mini Ghostly Hero...

Anyone remember Terror Shields anyone? Now that was a hoax that was technically "real"... Just my word. But I hope this is real. It looks like it.

I fail to see how a picture from a wall photoshopped onto a shield could remotely be considered real :S

I refuse to answer wispers from anyone not on my friends list or people I know would be wispering me. You do realise that the Kanaxi owner most probably gets millions of wispers asking where he/she got it and if they would sell it for a rediculously low amount.

Im thinking fake as it just seems suspicous, only one screen which isnt particularly good and Gaile didnt know about it.

Because it wasn't photoshopped, a program was used to actually change the in game texture on the tall shield. So effectively the screenshots WERE real.

IF it is fake then I think GWG ought to start dishing out bans for people who perpetrate these fake pics. The terror shield fiasco for example ended up causing a lot of people to waste a lot of time and effort. If it turns out to be a fake, ban the OP - if only to send out a message to others not to try to pull the same stunt(s) again.

It's not even April 1st

If it isn't fake of course, then disregard this post

Mallyx is the very definition of a special PvE mini-pet. It is not as if you get a team together in HA and ghostly heroes start dropping like candy. You also have oink for another PvE exclusive mini-pet. Seriously, there is one mini-pet you get through PvP and a crap ton available to PvE.

You are basically asking for a "special" mini-pet that is so easy everyone can get it. That was the pig min-pet. If you missed that one I am sure someone could sell you one for a quick 1-2k. Most people have 4+.

fake, because:

1. no new post from the op -> fake account ?

2. join date from the op = march 07 -> fake account ?

3. no other screenshots here

4. no other screenshots from other people in other forums

I guess some friends wrote OMG MINI LICH to improve the fake.

Prefectus has a point. All humanoids have weapons, shrio has his blades, rurik has an FDS, and Varesh has a scythe. The lich would have Scepter Of Orr, no question.

*sniff* you smell that?

varesh's scythe was added in fairly recently. the fact that the lich is not wielding a weapon says nothing.

Well, are there actual ingame models of the Lich without his Scepter?

If yes, then this could be a fake (and probably is).
If not, then Anet alone would have a model of the Lich without a weapon, which would make it real. Unless the OP really put a lot of effort into it.

Perma ban the ip address I think would be a good idea. That is if it is fake.

I have said before I am a member of forums where in the code of conduct it says you cannot lie and if you are found to be lying or deceiving others you get perma banned. Would be nice if it happened here. Especially in ventaris sell with all the fake bidders.

Why do you care so much about a stupid minipet? I have a few of those and always forget to activate them wherever I am. They just take up inventory space.

Well, only one that is currently available. Does the panda, naga raincaller, and all those other ones that were rewards for PvP ring a bell? Not that I care, I just wanted to point at that all of the uber expensive ones are indeed PvP.

I couldn't care less, other than the fact that they could have more people working on fixing bugs in the game instead of having a group add mini-pets.

@Corinthian: Some people just like having expensive things to collect and show off, it's a personal opinion. If they like them, let them buy them, if they don't, oh well, they won't buy them
