Guild Wars 2

A collector as I am I wanted all of the 5 new minipets for sure – So the plan was to buy 3 pets with gems and craft 2, now only today I learned about the tonics

I wouldnt mind just outright paying for the 5 pets and crafting the 5 tonics but I already crafted one pet before I even knew about the tonics – am I pretty much screwed now that I will never be able to obtain the tonic of the pet that I already crafted…?

Or is there gonna be another way to obtain the frames? because the Cogs should be the limiting ingredient, not the frames – thanks

Anet has been silent on this issue in spite of many threads. Usually when they don’t talk it means 1) People are freaking out over something that isn’t a problem long term they just don’t have information about the future, or 2) They are working to fix it.

That said I thought of what I thought would be a pretty good solution for all involved (including Anet). Introduce a new MF recipe:

<Toy Mini> + 50 stuffing + 50 Glue + 1 Glittering Dust = Same result as tonic recipes and returns the frame on failure.

People who just want the tonic instead can ‘correct their mistake’ and people who want both can spend gems for the minis. Since it’s all account bound anyway it won’t effect the market.

I suppose there is the combine 4 tonics recipe but it seems like the risk/reward on that is so terrible it wouldn’t be a problem.

I’m in a similar boat as you.When i was informed that you would only be able to craft 2/5, i bought the first three via Gems and tossed the frames thinking they were useless since i would be crafting the last two.
