Really annoyed about this. Opened up 100 chests got 5 snowmen and 3 of the floating golems. Tried using the mystic forge to see if I could get the festive golem from 4 snowman and ended with a non festive mini.

I’m a mini collector and this is driving me up the wall. Please make them tradeable so I can buy the 2 festive golems from the tradepost :/

Or make them guaranteed rewards for wintersday achievements.

Rhy I hope you come back to read this. The recipe is any 3 wintersday minis + 50 enchanted stuffing (not sure if this is available yet.) this should get you the quaggan mini.

o.O why do you need 2 festive golems?
You only need 1 Snowman + 1 Festive Golem + 1 Infinitariam + 50 Stuffings for the Baby Christmas Quaggan

Stuffing is available btw, i have 2 screenshots up in this thread with the baby christmas quaggan out. Stuffing = a drop from presents

It can be any 3 festive minis actually if I’m reading correctly Wolfey, even 3 of the same.

If thats the case then i have 30 Baby Quaggans ready to be made just off snowmen alone o.o

“The Wintersday baby quaggan miniature can also be crafted in the Mystic Forge by using any combination of miniature snowmen, infinirarium, or festive golems, and 50 enchanted stuffing (available in-game). "

Stuffing will be more available once Tixx’s instance is open. As for the mini’s themselves not sure if they will be craftable in some way or gotten some way that isn’t the chest.

I’m not sure Wolfey. They say “any combination of” which implies snowman x snowman x golem etc. the correct grammar in that case would be “in any order”. If you have so many maybe give it a shot and you can confirm for us?

well that means I need 1 random festive mini so I have 3 to craft the mini quaggan as well as 1 festive golem :<

My Research Notes Post:
Using 4 christmas minis does NOT = baby quaggan
I got a green mini instead though
so i still have atm 40 christmas minis + baby quaggan + green mini (forest grub)

if you want to donate the stuffing ill test it with 3 of a kind + stuffing
but im not going to start wasting stuffing for the hell of it atm, not till i know for 100% they will drop tomorrow or not.

Got bored and tried another combo:
3 christmas minis + a green mini = got polarbear mini

if someone donates the stuffing ill do the 3 of a kind + stuffing
but till then, thats 2 strikes on alt ideas x)

Guildie kindly donated 50 for testing
3 of a kind + stuffing =
Drum role please

Nothing

so you need 1 of each + stuffing for baby quaggan x)

Conclusion to research:
You need 1 of each Wintersday Mini + 50 stuffing for Wintersday Baby Quaggan x)

I wish it was that you could use 3x of any combination of festive minis + stuffing instead of 1 of each.

edit: it seems that the post above was incorrect. Three of the same festive minipets + 50 stuffing does work. Just crafted my Quaggan with 3x Infi mini + 50 Stuffing \o/

Did I read correctly that the minis can come from a box/present/chest that drops in game? Can someone please tell me the exact name of this and, if possible, where I can get it?

I only have about 14 HOURS in total to play during the Wintersday event (yes, that’s 14 hours across the whole 3 weeks). The only thing I really want is the minis but I want to make sure I maximise my chance to get them and I really cannot afford to dump real money into buying chests for a random chance.

If there’s a chance to get them in-game I’ll do that, if I have to buy a random chance I’ll write them off as something I’m never going to get and spend my time polar bear farming in GW1 instead, but it would be helpful to know what my options are.

I opened 40 box’s and got 4 snowmen mini’s, 2 festive golems, and 1 Infinirarium. Also got 2 santa hats, one of each exotic recipe and a ton of tonics/mats/ugly wool/dyes. That’s gona be enough to craft the baby quaggan as well.

So all in all im happy this time.

I’m bring this back from the dead for anyone to give voice their disappoint in how this was handed. Now before you even post this is not to bash Anet just get across we want minis done differently for us paying players. (Note I’m not talking about anyone who does not pay for items in gem store.)

The Spooky Trio Mini’s Box was a three pack containing the ghost, skeleton and spider. These were then mystic forged with candy corn to make chainsaw the skeleton.

This was a very good method for holiday mini pets and I don’t know why it was not stuck to for Wintersday. The current RNG Wintersday boxes are frustrating many players, myself included.

I suggest a Festive Trio Mini’s Box be released at the cost of 800 gems. Most people wanting the mini pets would very likely fork over 1600 gems total to obtain Festive Golem, Snowman, Infinirarium, and Foostivoo the Merry. They’d also more likely fork over the 1050 gems for the 3 mini pets that they couldn’t get from doing the Wintersday Events. This roughly translates to $35 in the pocket of ArenaNet per player wanting to collect all the holiday mini pets.

In addition some of those folks would feel more inclined to spend additional cash in the gem shop on costumes and the like, increasing that $35 further possibly to $50+.

I lucked out, 40 boxes, 1 snowman, 1 infinirarium, 4 golems. I slotted the 3 extra golems in the Mystic Forge (1 in each of 3 slots) and 50 stuffing in the 4th slot for the baby quaggan mini.

I did want to point out that the mini TOYS are available in the Gem store. Right now it’s just the Ventari one but I’m guessing the others will show up after their events. I guess you will have enough materials for 2 Toy minis (each event gives you 100 cogs…500 cogs total…each Toy mini requires 250 cogs) so you can either buy all 5 with gems or buy 3 with gems and make the last 2 with the event mats.

This all felt a like it required a few too many Gems to me…not terribly…just a little. I’d suggest dialing the Gem requirement back a little, ANet, maybe 25%.

That toy minis and baby quaggan are not the problem. It is only the snowman, infinirarium, and golem minis that are making people who use cash upset.

Also if your someone who does not buy gems please stay out of this topic because it is purely to get Anet to at least think over the problem. Maybe even unbound the minis if they can for us paying people who give money to support the game.

You’ll be glad to know that the Miniature Wintersday Trio exists and has existed since the 14th, they’ve just yet to add it to the store.

Yeah I’ll let you come to your conclusions about them silently letting people burn their gems while holding this back. Surely it’s not a cynical way to increase gem sales.

Seriously though it seems cruel to drain peoples funds then release something like this later in the event.

I’m starting to think perhaps this is the case…but I had really hoped we wouldn’t see this sort of implementation of things in holiday items as they are limited time. I’m fine with Black Lion Chests being RNG, that makes sense, they are a year round item. From my understanding people still buy keys for them and get boosters and such.

As one my post said earlier, stand to make more money when people are happy during festivals compared to when they are left with a bad taste in their mouth.

Yes while I read other topics dealing with the minis and it seems most non paying players don’t understand that even if A net has other games that do monthly payments they use most of that money for those games. Gw2 is mostly supported by people who keep spending money so they can add great events that they enjoy.

Try looking at this, they would have had to have amazing foresight to fake up an item when the update went through.

Besides which, it’s in with other codes for other items with this update and sat right next to the Mini Infinirarium, on the tail end of the codes for the whole lot of “festive” non-toy pets.

Personally I think both should be options, maybe don’t release the 3 pack until week 2…but do release it. Something that could have worked really well is placing one of each of the 3 used to make foostivoo the merry into the collections trade-in guy for something like 500 of the sweaters, etc…this way people could work for their mini pets.

Bottom line, better communication.

Hey Anet. Thanks for the Wonderful Winterdays Events and Content. I Being a Mini-Collector love the new Mini’s for Wintersday. They Look good and cool, and am glad to see that most of them you can work for through the Winterday Events.

Sadly, I HATE the way you have Hidden this fact that you can work for some of them. Today You put the Toy Ventari into the Gem store for 350 Gems, Thats cool, Put minis up like that the Buyer gets what he pays for. Sweet! Then the player starts to explore your new content and finds out that he can BUILD the mini that he just spent his Gems on that he has been saving for something special. Why would your do this to your players? Why Cheat them out of there money and not tell them about it in game.

IF your going to do this put a note on it, “can be obtained in game”. Don’t explain, just be like hey Here you can have it now for this much Gems OR go find out how to make it on your own. Be Honest with your Collectors, they will buy mini’s and work for them don’t be sneeky and going behind there backs or you may loose them.

The Wintersday Misery (Mystery) Box. Can I ask you WHY?! Ok so a lot can drop from this box, Theres weapon skins, Dye packs, Mini’s, Even things like the Permanent Hair-style kit and Bank. They also drop…..Ugly Sweaters, Socks, and Hats most of the time.

I have opened 60 of them Looking for mini’s Dropped about 75$ CAN. I got like 7 dye 1 Hair-style kit, and 1 mini. All the other ones had Ugly Sweaters, Socks, and Hats. I have NOTHING to show for the Money I spent on your game.

I Know Im going to get Trolled about the amount I have spent. But I have spent 135$ on this game, and Have gotten over 900 Hours, I love the game, and I do not want it to die or be a rip-off. But I cant help but feel that I don’t want to buy any more gems.

Suggestion: With Items like these Chest please put a guaranty that you will get SOMETHING out of each box that is Worth something and is Trade able. Like a common mini that you can sell on the TP or T5/6 crafting Mats. Then add the Chance for More factor. I would even be happy with if you buy a pack of 10 for 800 gems you are guaranteed a mini or rare item with a chance of more form that that 10. That will make people come back and TRUST that they are getting there money worth of something,

To sum it up, Do it like Halloween mini-packs. Just add the Wintersday toy Building model along with it. Minis are cool. Not worth 50$. Rare\Exotic Minis are for Collectors. Make Them Trade able so Collectors can trade them 1v1 or 2v1 depending on the value. Oh and add the Battle arenas for are minis please

Thank you ANet for GW2. But please don’t be greedy.

Oh the season of giving! Yes, we give and give more money for that RNG. 20 gem store boxes opened, not a single mini gained. One sided giving for holiday cheer!

IMO, the route of Halloween for the 3 pack gem store minis is the way to go with this event considering they are account bound and can not be resold for any sort of profit at all. Making them account bound should have meant increased drop rates at the very least IMO. I don’t think there would have been any harm in putting the trio pack directly into the gem store since they’re account bound. People want baby + base minis? Buy two just like you had to during Halloween.

But, ArenaNet seems to enjoy gouging money from its customer base. Spread that holiday cheer around and keep giving them your hard earned money for that awful RNG!

I just spent 100g on gems and did not get the minis I need to craft the mini quaggan.

By contrast, I spent 10g during halloween and got all four minis.

anet just needs to let us sell all minis. like they did in in guild wars one. this account bound is not good at all. I would like sell my minis when I get board of them and make some gold back.
