Hey all. Some of you may have heard of Gwynefyrdd, the ghostly wolf pup mini. What I’m wondering, is, have any of you seen or heard of her dropping? I’ve checked on Reddit, in-game, and all over the web. I know it’s early, but if any of you have seen her in-game, it would serve as great confirmation that she is indeed implemented on the drop-tables and we aren’t wasting time/gold on ToT bags. Thanks for helping!
I am seeing one in game right now someone got. They come from Trick or Treat bags. The Exotic ones I think from the legendary Monsters inside the Labyrinth.

I am not positive but the person that I seen had it in LA told me when I asked that they got it from the Exotic Trick or Treat Champion bag from the Legendary Monsters.

You mean people are actually killing the champs? I’ve been in the Labyrinth for the past 2 hours and seen all of maybe 6 other people total, all just running around doing small door events while fleeing in terror every time the Labyrinthine Horror comes around. I’m rather surprised honestly, day 1 and already deserted? Figured people would be down doing achieves at the very least. Especially if there’s exclusive loot from the legendary bags.

Most of the rest of the world isnt active i would think, but i dont really know. LA is pretty deserted at the moment as well.

You can use LFG for Taxi Groups for full Zergs. I dunno I spent 4 hours in the Lab with my guild and we had a big Zerg of us we killed all the things in our way.

Horror and Grand Viscount are ‘worth’ killing. Lich not so much. Horror seems to not have as much health as others so he can be burned down pretty quick. Viscount doesn’t take too long either. Lich on the other hand is too much of a pain, due to all the skeletons and their retaliation.
Opened over 10k standard ToTs so far, still no mini. Got an Endless tonic though so I guess it’s not all bad.
I’m inclined to believe they don’t actually drop from them.
How the kitten do you already have 10k ToT bags? And how does your hand not bleed from clicking that many times (unless you bound left click to mouse scroll, which shouldn’t be against ToS, one action per button press)

Last year, the strategy for lich was to pull him into the room and stack on him. He was way less dangerous that way.
As others have said, use the LFG tool to taxi to a busy instance.
As for expecting it to be busy for people doing the achievements, I knocked out 9/12 for the meta in less than 2 hours. Most of them are 1 shot achievements (kill the lich/viscount), and with a good zerg, it doesn’t take long to get 50 doors.
Most of the rest of the achievements you don’t need to do in the labyrinth.

Buy bags, sell what comes out. Let’s just say I can click really fast.

My zerg tried that last night and it seems to not work this time. The Lich gains health every time he hits with a melee attack, so when you are all bunched up in the small room his health goes down, then he attacks and hits everybody and is back up to full health. Seems the devs didn’t like that strategy last year.
It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Maybe we got lucky, but we killed him on my first go-round with our little zerg (<15 people) last night, and I didn’t notice much of a difference in strategy or fight duration. The stack strategy worked just fine, and I did notice he healed some, but the minions weren’t any more annoying than last year, nor was the damage they inflicted. Then again, it seems like we had a really cohesive, albeit small, group running around last night, so that might’ve had something to do with it. Anecdotal, surely, but just my two cents!!
Another question is, why the heck is this minipet accountbound… so unlucky people will open 1million bags and still not get it, while others may have useless seconds.

Its account bound? That really sucks. If people are opening thousands and not getting it, how the kitten are normal casual people supposed to get it?

I think you hit on the trick right there. Small groups can handle him as their DPS can outperform the healing he gets for the melee attacks. A large group or zerg has larger DPS of course, but the healing he gets is phenomenal and make the strategy much less effective.

They had the same issue with one of the minis in the krait tower story, but they changed that, then.
I really don’t understand why they made it account bound, especially after all the complaints the Toxic Hybrid had until it was “fixed” a few days after the update.
Hopefully they’ll do the same here.

That’s definitely a good point. To add on from earlier, I ran with a larger zerg a few hours ago, and yeah, we did get our butts kicked. Of course, we were fighting him, then a door event popped and someone opened the door, and then the horror sauntered on over to have a little chat, so we definitely wiped within seconds. Terrible timing, but I do think you’re onto something with the scaling.
Opening these bags for a mini…is actually the worst thing ever. If it was a weapon skin, i could understand, but seriously anet its a mini, and why is it account bound?
Haha, I thought this was another rage thread with a “Face all over keyboard”-title.
Btw, Minis are not in the loottable of those bags. (Edit: not ture I just found out.)
I really dont know anything on how to get them though, not interested at all either.
Anyway, I wish everyone good luck in acquiring what they want
I am probably just gonna use this years halloween to make some easy gold.

Lich is VERY easy to down. Melee Him, Have people bring their Stun Breaks/Stabilities. Have others bring they Boon Ripper (Null Field, etc) for the Skeletons. We burned him down with a decent zerg within 3 minutes.

I’ve searched everywhere looking for info on this mini, and I see a lot of people saying they have opened 10k plus Trick or Treat bags and are still not getting the mini (myself included). I have seen two posts saying that they indeed have the mini but no pictures to back it up so I don’t know if its true or not. Anyone who has it want to post a pic? Cause I’m beginning to think its a “Non-existent Drop” rather than a “Rare Drop”
I’m currently up to ~15k bags opened with not a single mini in sight. Only loot worth noting was an Endless Tonic in my first few thousand.
For perspective, that’s around 1200g total.
~23k, no mini, no tonic, got recipe worth 1 silver.
Holy crap. That’s insane.
I opened about 45,000 ToT bags last night. 1500 bags were giving me around 10g profit and at worst no loss last night so I stayed up opening thousands of them hoping for something from them and I didn’t get any of the new amulets, everlasting tonic, or mini. Oh well, ended up with like ~50 stacks of Dragonite Ore and brought my magic find from 194 to 207.

Another case of “woops added a few too many zeroes after the decimal” guys. Move on. Will be patched later.
There was the ToN Toxic Krait mini from the reward chest
There was the Mini Monkey + Tonic from drytop
There was the brokenly low Chaos of Lyssa recipe drop rate during pavillion
This is just off the top of my head i think there are quite a few more.
Im inclined to believe that this sort of thing is deliberate to get the richer players to blow their load on bags, draining your money from the economy. Then they just stealth-patch the drop rate like nothing ever happened.
Either that or someone isn’t learning from their mistakes…
RNG for an account bound collectable is a terrible system, even worse when it’s only available for a limited time. It’s been tried twice in the past (the Wintersday Mystery Box minis and the Toxic Hybrid) and both times a lot of people complained.
The Toxic Hybrid was “fixed” shortly after the release started to make it tradeable. It would be really nice to see the same here.

Oh my god I feel so bad for you. That’s more than double what I’ve opened and I’m already fuming.
Can we get a Devs input on this please? I too have opened over 1k ToT bags and still no Gwynefyrdd. Unlike other people who have posted, I cannot afford to purchase thousands of bags. Instead, I have spent hours working my way through the Mad King’s Realm doing both the Clocktower and Labyrinth.
I don’t mind that the mini is difficult to get, but it should not be completely unattainable. The current drop rates are just unrealistic for the average player.

At this point we would rather just pay for the mini.
i just wish for a confirmation from anet now if it will be changed or not so i can know if i can just keep on trying with tot bags now or if that is a waste until changed (if changed)
