Hey,

So I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done this but, I bought guildwars prophicies a month from when it came out and made all my characters soon after, repeat with Factions. So now at the 4th year anniversary I have a few old pets that are eating up my storage and I come to realize that I don't know what to do with them. I don't really want to carry them around any more and they're all commons so trying to sell them was a lark, so suggestions anyone

?

Give them to friends that wouldn't mind carrying them around?

That's why A-Net made more storage pane's to buy, so you can hang on to your pets.

Buying storage pane's is quicker then selling old pets.

Do what I do with old dedicated minipets that aren't worth selling:

1) Go to Lion's Arch/Kaineng/Kamadan.
2) Offer "free minipet to the first person who ______ in front of me"
3) Insert random thing in blank: dance, strip off armor, beat me in rock/paper/scissors, etc.
4) Give minipet to winner
5) Repeat with all other minipets
6) ????
7) Profit!

Oh noes !! buy a extra toon slot and use it for a mule. its the same price and you get more slots for your money. i mean just for storage of old pets you want to keep but dont use. it doesnt matter that its harder to access

I'm an avid minipet collector myself. After dedicating them I give them to my friends and also to new players.

You euthanize your minis instead of finding them a good home?

They'd be euthanized in a couple months, spare them the pain and do it yourself.

Yea but after 1 year you have ANOTHER pet, and every year anothers adds.

So storage pane is really better. Saves you from getting stupid pets every year =).

When I get a duplicate mini, I see if any friends or guildies still need it for their HoM, and if no one does, I give it away to a new player.

Minipets are old hat now, but I remember how chuffed I was when I got my very first temple guardian, so it's nice to get them started on their own collection!

Put the ones you like in HoM.
When that is doen, they are dedicated to HoM, and you can trow them away

just put them in your garbage can. They will stay in your HoM so don't worry
about that. You just cant let them walk around anymore

I didn't know you could delete them after dedicating them. I though you had to keep them. HUH, I might do that, or start a naked dance party

When I created a character specifically to get L3 survivor, the moment he got that title he was retired to Minipet holder. I love the minipets (I am a pack rat who hates to get rid of anything, so I rarely have to farm for any of the things Nicholas wants), and keep one of each pet both in the Hall of Monuments and on the survivor. Just one problem, His pack if full, and I have more minis that need stored....hmm.....what other character do I not play any more.
