Summoning and dismissing a miniature[edit]
- Miniatures can be summoned from items by double-clicking their inventory icon, or right-clicking and choosing Use. Repeating this action dismisses the miniature; the mini will also despawn if you move the item or change maps.
- Miniatures in the Wardrobe, accessible from the hero panel, are automatically summoned once you select a mini and select the display check box.
- Miniatures can be added to the Wardrobe by right-clicking on the inventory item and choosing "Add to Account Wardrobe". This will destroy the original item.
- Certain miniatures are automatically dismissed when entering or leaving underwater mode.[1]
- Minis may be temporarily disabled in locations overly crowded with other players for client performance reasons.
List of miniatures[edit]
Sets 1 to 3[edit]
The first miniatures released belonged to distinct achievements. For more details see the specific pages:
The above miniatures are mainly acquired through opening Toy Mini Eggs. They can be used in the Mystic Forge by combining any four miniatures of the same rarity to create a random miniature of the same or higher rarity from any set, regardless of the set they came from. However if not unlocked before, using a miniature in the Mystic Forge, unlike armor and weapons, will not unlock it for the account.
Other miniatures[edit]
Other miniatures can be acquired through various means; via Gem Store, received as random loot from certain boss chests, achievement rewards, etc.

Notes[edit]
- Miniatures have your character's guild tag appended to their name while active.
- Miniatures can be previewed from the Trading Post, inventory, chat links, and Hero panel.
- Tonics can make the miniatures change size in the preview screen. This is convenient for viewing them in more detail. The Endless Dust Mite Tonic, for example, makes them appear larger, while the Endless Skritt Burglar Tonic makes them smaller.
- Veteran players might still have some miniatures in the "collectibles" tab of the account vault - this was discontinued with the September 2014 Feature Pack.
- Once miniatures are removed from the vault, their respective collections spot will now disappear. Similarly, the collectibles tab will disappear entirely when empty.
- These miniatures do not appear in the Wardrobe until manually added by right clicking on them.
Trivia[edit]
|
The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Miniature. |
- The introduction of the mini wardrobe was added as part of the September 2014 Feature Pack. Prior to that, they could be stored in the collections section of the bank, as if they were a crafting material as seen here and here.
- As part of the same patch, the Mini Risen Priest of Balthazar was moved from Set 1 to the Special category; it no longer counts towards any achievements and it can be combined in the Mystic Forge to produce Obsidian Shards.
