How do people get all these cool pets? A dragon, for instance.

How much would one of the common ones cost approximately from another player.

Looking in the "Price Check" section of this forum, there's a sticky for Price Check guides that links to two minipet player-to-player price threads (an old one and a new one.) Above it, the current "new" minipet thread is also a sticky.

You should read those threads. First, in this section of the forum, they frown on people asking for prices of things because there's a different section for that. Second, the price varies a lot depending on exactly which pet you want.

Cheers,
Luny

I think it'd be best if you looked around the forum and found these stickies yourself. If you have trouble, here's a link.

The good thing is that you get 1 minipet per character per birthday and your chance of getting a really nice one is the same as anyone else.

Its also true that multiple characters lead to duplications and some of the lesser ones come quite cheap or even free if you find a kind player.

Wonder if they will ever do a minipet zoo where all mine can roam free till I want to show them off.

The Menagerie is for charmable pets using the Ranger skill [Charm Animal], known as Animal Companions. It seems the OP and gremlin are talking about miniatures, aka minipets, which is a different "pet" entirely. Minipets are more like inventory items.

Here's a wiki link to Animal Companions

And here's one to Minipets

And Arzock, no need to be sorry. Lots of people new to GWGuru aren't sure where to post at first. Apologies if my response seemed harsh. If so, it was not intentional. Welcome to Guru.

A minipet petting zoo along the lines of the menagerie would be lovely.
And the ability to visit someone else's ranger pet menagerie would be great too, it's such a good area for parties. Surely the charm animal skill could be disabled there for anyone except the party leader and his/her heroes to make it 'safe' for visitors, rather than banning visitors completely? Or even ban charm animal completely if the party leader is accompanied by another player.
