The minion nip item wearable really helps immensely, I can't recommend it enough! i already found this year's new minion easily. ^^ I got it last year cause I had been so wanting to find a Jakyl!

Oh thanks for that correction! I had a twitching in my brain that it was a thing, but I wasn't quickly able to find the achievement in my search, so figured it must've been a suggestion I read long ago.

I've never liked these ones being retired every year. I feel like achievements should only be retired if a) you can't do it anymore because the event or plot is gone or b) it got weird and just doesn't work anymore. Maybe these ones are in the weird category?

I don't care about any rewards or anything either. I just think that if the activity is still available and there won't be a glitch fest, you should still get the achievement.

It's been this way for the whole time I've been here and I guess I'm just used to them retiring and I'm good with it. Achievements retire all the time and those in particular say "jaxon's newest minion" not older minions.
