Concept: Miniature Carrier and Miniature Collection Hero Panel Slots
Miniature Collection Slot
Instead of minipets taking up an inventory spot, a new mini pet slot is created.
This minipet slot will have an ‘expand’ button similar to the pet selection button in the Pet Management screen of Rangers. This will allow players to select which mini pet is currently equipped among all those stored in the Miniatures Collections storage tab.
Double left-clicking the image of the minipet will spawn it into the world/release it from the Miniature Carrier.
Miniature Carrier Slot
Minipets will be kept in a bamboo carrier on our backs when they are not released to run freely beside (behind) us
This carrier can also have different skins: Metal, Glowing Magical Barrier, Leaf Covered Vines, other ideas of varying color and variety
The Miniature Carrier is displayed on the player character when a miniature is selected from the Miniature Management screen
Functionality of the Miniature Carrier with Back Items Display Checkboxes Checked – Miniature Carrier Checked – Back Item
Miniature Carrier will take priority over the back item of a character if the carrier contains a pet
Carrier is hidden and Back Item displays when the minipet is “released”
Checked – Miniature Carrier Un-Checked – Back Item
Miniature Carrier displays at all times. Back Item does not display.
Empty carrier remains on the back if the minipet is released to run freely beside (behind) us
Un-Checked – Miniature Carrier Checked – Back Item
Miniature Carrier never displays even if a minipet is selected from the Collections Screen and the minipet is currently stowed in the Carrier
Of course having neither checked would cause neither to ever display.
