Guild Wars 2

One thing that I don’t think I saw noted (if so, forgive me) was that for this Mini’s update to make it work like the wardrobe and whatnot one thing wasn’t really clarified unlike say Skins for weapons and armor.

Unless I’m blind as a bat.

Does forging minis (such as the ones from Dragon Bash) automatically unlock? Or does it destroy them as normal without compensation? How will this affect sets that are already unlocked or will be? Especially in regards to bought sets like the aforementioned ones?

Will destroying a Mini yield the same results as destroying a skin these days?

I’m just curious if “unlocking” them through that one specific option is the only way to retain them regardless of destruction?

This sort of thing does leave me wary as it also possibly rules out the ability to get forged minis if you unlock them as well if I read correctly if you decide to want the special forged one at a later date.

I’m not a huge mini collector but such things do impact my thoughts on obtaining some in the future.

i believe it will be like skins, if you put them in the wardrobe they are bound and you wont be able to forge them. the special ones if we go by how it is now they want you to buy 2 sets of the normals, 1 to forge for the special one and the other set to have, i see no reason this would change.

Here is the answer to your question:

’Short answer – Each mini can only unlock itself in the wardrobe.

Minis being thrown in the forge does not unlock them. Unlike weapons and armor when you unlock a mini you get the whole mini functionality forever.. not just a skin unlock.

So in your example.. Creating Foostivoo does not automatically unlock the other 3.
Unlocking Foostivoo also does not unlock the 3 that made him.

This should mean relative demand for minis stays consistent with the current mini system where having foostivoo doesn’t give you 4 possible summons.’
