Sorry, but they don't really do anything. The main reason why people want them is because they don't have much else to spend money on, so they purchase minis to show off.

Minis don't do anything at all. They just stand there and look pretty.

That's all.

No, they walk around and look pretty.

But seriously folks, no, they don't do anything useful - not even pick up coins.

You are right sir, they do indeed walk around.

Altho I do believe there was this 1 skill that was affected by a minipet, can't remember it atm tho.

iirc, some paragon skills that count nearby allies are triggered by minipets.

Minis can help against the skill "You're all alone" which can be helpful sometimes ^^

Minipets can die too, if they get run over by boulders.

I just like minipets because they make me happy. ^_^

And I'm gullable, is that true with the paragon skills and the boulder? (skeptical about boulder, I want a screenshot!) :P

They used to die with boulders in GW:EN dungeons, but it was fixed some months ago.
And mini-pets count as allies so they do affect paragon skills and some other.

Thank you very much for the confirmation, RedStar. I had got run over by a boulder but didn't have my mini out at the time to see if it was possible to be squished. Oh! And I'll be taking my mini around with more paragons from now on to see.
