Guild Wars 2

With mini’s going toward account unlock’s, can we get a fresh supply of them? Especially for someone like me, whom runs alt’s across multiple accounts, I’ll now need multiples of them all. There simply isn’t enough supply for that. And, for every new account and new player, they’ll be left without.

You are completely mistaken and must not have read the dev blog. Minis are going to become account unlocks. Once you use a mini to unlock it you will have access to that mini on all of your characters. After unlocking a mini it will be destroyed. But this means any extras you have you can sell if they aren’t bound.

Let’s start with inventory space. All minis can now be treated as account unlocks in the Wardrobe. The new mini section in the Wardrobe allows you to convert any mini in your inventory to an account unlock. Unlocking destroys the mini from your inventory, but once it’s unlocked, that mini is available to all your characters to equip simultaneously for no additional cost.

This means it will be easier, and much cheaper, since you only need 1 of each mini.

Edit: I may be mistaken about your post. After reading it again it seems you have multiple accounts and transfer your minis between them. Well I too would like Anet to re-release a lot of the minis so I can work on my collection, though 1 account is enough for me.

Oh yeah, the dev blog said that minis can work just like they always have from your inventory. The only way you would lose a mini is if you used it to unlock it for your account. So you should still be able to transfer your minis if you don’t care about any achievements or having it in your wardrobe. The downside is that once you remove a mini from your bank collections its entry is removed so you’ll never be able to put it back into your bank again, which means you have to carry them around in your inventory.

DeWolfe is saying that (s)he has alts across multiple accounts, not just alts within a single account. Edit: Seems you figured that out on your own while I was writing.

It’s worth noting that you don’t have to unlock a mini to use it. If you’re currently passing minis back and forth between accounts, you can continue doing that as you have been.

Double-clicking a mini still works the same way. You can summon and unsummon any mini in your inventory. This does not unlock the mini for your account, however, and does not fully equip the mini. It’s just an easy way to see something in the world before you choose to unlock it.
