One where a super fashionista hands you THREE subq invites cos they're lovely people.

(seriously, those things are so expensive at the moment)

could have random pieces of paper, like a flyer for a shop or torn off piece of newspaper, something which is readable by pets and also fraggable.

Birbs "You hear the sound of wings and notice a bird fly past" - random cheap birb minion.

The only ideas I have are

a) quest related event that takes you to different areas of the site( i.e. NPC hands you something, tells you to go somewhere else, that type of thing). I don't even necessarily think it needs to be a "buy item type" so much as just a way to explore different areas of the site or make a use for newer areas of the site like Shengui Guo. If you complete all the steps you could get an item or something.

b) and something that I honestly think is just cute and would at least get a use for minions, but having personalized events for pets that have minions attached. Right now the main use for minions is pretty much just that they keep pet happy, but they don't do anything though. Would it be possible to have a random even that just has the pet interacting with the minion?

I.e. pet plays catch with insert minion here.

I didn't even know the Dandybunny thing existed... and I've maybe gotten one Subeautique Invitation in the past month...

Clearly random events like me.

could always add back the RE that gives you a random potion. maybe a free experiement zapper zap. more random event only challengers...
