Guild Wars 2

I have used the search forum tool and strangely haven’t found any related topics, so if it’s been said before forgive me.

I find that the Risen Priest of Balthazar is relatively easy to obtain from the Lost Orrian Jewelry Boxes. I can see the benefit in getting 1 of these for the achievement, but any extras are just a hollow reward.

Eventually the amount of priests will be more than the amount of character slots a player has. Even then with the likes of the adorable Plush Griffon and Chauncey; the continuing stream of Living Story minis like Horrik; and the story based Eir & Logan for a few examples, it’s rare to want any characters using this mini let alone all of them.

There is potential for it to have the “Account Bound” restriction removed like the Siege weaponry has had lately. This would give it some value. Even if it balances down to 20 Silver (though I would expect a higher value) it would give the Priest some worth. I would expect it to fetch at least 1G though so I can understand that it would be worth too much in the eyes of some.

Even if the “Account Bound” restriction remains though, demoting the Priest down a couple of tiers would also give it some value. I wouldn’t even mind it being a “Fine” mini pet because then I have a chance of getting a different pet by tossing it into the forge.

However, the Mini remains a desolate hollow victory. Unless the drop rates are cut by a factor of 20% so there’s one pet for each statue (as Kormir wasn’t a God before the Cataclysm), the account bound limit is removed or the Mini loses a couple of tiers, any extras won’t have value.
