[edit] General
Miniatures, also referred to as "mini pets," are items that
reserve one of your inventory spots. When activated, a small
duplicate of the named creature will appear and follow you around.
Miniatures were originally added by the developers to show
appreciation for long-time players, but have since become available
through a variety of different means.
- You can trade, give away, drop, and destroy miniatures.
- You cannot dye miniatures, or sell them to NPCs.
- You can have multiple miniatures in your inventory.
- Miniatures appear while you are in explorable
areas, missions, towns, or outposts. There cannot be more than 20 miniatures per
district.
- To activate or deactivate a miniature, double-click on it in
your inventory.
- Only one miniature can be active at a time. If you activate a
second one, it will replace the active one automatically.
- Miniatures cannot attack, nor do they have skills or special
abilities. They also cannot be targeted or cause collision. They
do, however, count as an ally of the owner's party and can be
affected by some AoE
effects.
- Miniatures take the form of creatures from any campaign. It is possible for
someone who only owns a Prophecies account to receive a miniature
of a Factions or Nightfall creature.
[edit] Acquisition
[edit] Birthday Present
- Each character will receive a present when that
character is 1 or 2 years old (Type /age in game to see a
character's age).
- If a character's inventory is full upon his/her birthday, the
present will appear when next logged in with an empty space.
- Double-click on the present to unwrap it and reveal the
miniature.
- You may keep the present forever; it will not vanish
later.
- You will not lose a miniature if you receive one via trading
and your character is under a year old.
- Each annual series has:
- 8 White (Common)
- 3 Purple (Uncommon)
- 2 Gold (Rare)
- 1 Green (Unique)
- Find more about birthday miniature drop rates in this
page : drop rate/Birthday Present
[edit] Collector's Edition Presents
- ANet has prepared a miniature in appreciation for players who
bought the Guild Wars Factions and Nightfall Collector's Editions.
- Factions owners receive a miniature Kuunavang
- Nightfall owners receive a miniature Varesh
- Once you add the CD key to your account you will receive a
message to type /special in any outpost or town. After doing so you
will receive an item named Factions Collector's Edition
Present or Nightfall Collector's Edition Present.
Double-clicking on it will turn it into the corresponding
miniature.
- Each account may use this command to generate only one
Collector's Edition Present.

Miniature/Birthday Doll with a name and level in an outpost.
- While the color of the miniature is indicative of its rarity
within each annual series, the rarity does not always carry over to
non-birthday present miniatures. Be sure to check current market
conditions when buying or selling a miniature.
Miniature Birthday Doll with a name and party icon in an
outpost.
- Since the 2007 Canthan New Year Festival, birthday dolls have
happened to be seen in outpost with levels or their own party icon
of anywhere from two to eight, and names under the miniature
itself.
