Easier Miniature Access
I was actually just about to post something like this. I want to use minis more, but I hate how they are used. I don’t want to sacrifice an inventory space, and I hate that they are deposit-able. If you could access them from the collection I would use them far more.
I also hate that they need to be re-summoned every time I go to a different map. (Give them a slot in the hero panel? “active Mini-Pet”) Or make a similar system to the actual pets and have a separate panel where you can toggle your mini on or off and choose from your deposited minis.
To add on to your ideas, i want to suggest having something like the new wallet. All your bank minis will be moved to this mini pet wallet. On that tab, it will show all the minis you have (and do not have). You can choose to activate or retrieve any pet inside.
Honestly I like both suggestions. I just hate having to click extra every map to put out a mini, and I hate having to pick what I want to take with me every day…
