Guild Wars 2

I am finding that my HoM minipets keep disappearing : Not only does the pet vanish, but the mini also disappears from my inventory, meaning that I need to revisit the HoM to collect the pet again.

Not game-breaking, but very annoying.

This happens across all characters, and with the chicken, the cat and the racoon.

Have I missed something that says that these minis are on a timer, after which they need to be re-collected?

You’re probably hitting Deposit all Collectibles. The minipets are a collectible, so they get deposited when you do that. You can prevent it by getting an Invisible bag to put them in.

Yep, they are being deposited into your collectibles bank. Check the banker, you’ll find all the ones you deposited previously.

Aaaaah!

Self-stupidity!

Thanks guys

Note that to avoid this behavior, you can get “invisible” bags. These are crafted bags, and the recipe is found through discovery. But anything that’s in the invisible bag will not be shown on a vendor’s list to sell (so the bags are good for items you don’t ever want to sell) and they’re also good for minipets, as the minis won’t get deposited into the collectibles tab.

Edit: Aaaaaand just noticed that invisible bags were mentioned above. This post brought to you by the department of redundancy department.
