Adding interesting rewards for completing collection sets might make Minipets (as well as all those collections) actually worth getting.
For current collection rewards, we have:
Death: A deadfall scythe Killers: Figurine of Trenton Deis Mythos: Figurine of Dekalb, The Betrayed Tsol'teth: Figurine of Parni Undeath: Figurine of Ugrach Adryn: Figurine of Taraus
We also have the completion of the Blackwave set rewarding one with a token and Races set rewarding one with a coin, but those arent listed in the collection list.
So what could we add for the other collections? Specifically minipet.
A unique minipet, unattainable via opening a collection cache. This minipet could also come with a few additional interactions if the admin choose to. An example
Completing the Scaled collection will reward you with a crated dragon hatchling. Able to follow you land and air. Able to give it a chunk of meat to eat. Perhaps have a special interaction with other 'dragons' in the room.
Perhaps if minipets arent that wanted, then a unique little reward. Again, taking the scaled collection into account. Completing it will reward one with a uniquely designed tinderbox of dragonic scales. Using it to light objects will give a unique message akin to 'a gout of flames' erupting from the box.
Ahh, no thanks. Minipet collecting is an expensive habit as it is already just buying the ones I like, let alone then having to buy an entire set just because I like the rare one. I don't even have all the pets and there are over 150 pets in my stables as it is. There is already the special pets you can get from the woodland cache, and it isn't really paying off or garnering much interest. Besides myself, I've only seen one other person market for it.
Precisely the point. Minipets are hitting pretty low in the market, with almost no reason to have one. Additionally, there is no point to even attempt to complete any of the Minipet collections. Since minipets are not going away and by the looks of it more just get added, at least we could get some reward for attempting to complete a set.
Minipets are a scourge upon the good people of Achaea. I propose that they be banished back to the hell from which they came.
Give us -real- shop logs! Not another misinterpretation of features we ask for, turned into something that either doesn't help at all, or doesn't remotely resemble what we wanted to begin with.
Thanks!
Current position of some of the playerbase, instead of expressing a desire to fix problems:
Vhaynna: "Honest question - if you don't like Achaea or the current admin, why do you even bother playing?"
A new sigil that, when thrown at a minipet has a chance to contain it. Pets stop becoming just collection items, and you can challenge other adventurers and force your pets to fight each other. Pets also level progressively upon fight wins and gain special attacks. Pets are also now found in the wild, but can be dangerous to find and harder to catch depending on type.
APPEARANCE: a ball sigil DROPPED: Having missed its mark, a ball sigil lays here. EXAMINED: Red on top and white on the bottom, this spherical sigil is around the size of a closed human fist, and aerodynamic enough to be thrown at a fast speed.
Brilliant. There should also be a variety of these new sigils that are slightly more expensive, but have a greater chance of capturing and containing stronger pets.
I'd rather just have 5+ pets that fall out of inventories explode all over the plane that they're on.
Die in Annwyn with 80 pets in tow? Looks like Tizane has a new pet kitten. Die on Arcadia? Dinner just flew into Chenubis' mouth. Log out on Prime? Looks like the Lightning Eagle, Belladonna, Zsarachnor, and Yudhishthira have new best friends.
Scratch that. It would be amusing the first time but seeing pets flying everywhere during a raid would be more irritating.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.
Not really a 'simple' idea, but just one that doesn't deserve it's own thread.
Could someone be awesome and go through the Wiki and update all the skillsets to reflect proper AB files, instead of just the name and short description of the abilities? Some are full AB, some are just the short version. Being unable to check in game is kinda annoying when I check pages like http://wiki.achaea.com/Vodun to get fashions required and it barely gives any info.
I'm referring to looking at AB without being in the game. Work doesn't allow the ports required to connect, hence why I want the Wiki updated. I already use your gmcp ab files, though, Antonius, they're awesome.

Gosh they're obnoxious.
Pet Island: The Menagerie Strikes Back! .... Okay I'm not good at titles.

Being in positions of authority in multiple orgs means fleetsense gets pretty long.
