>How did I get RS banned so fast?
Neopian shops now automatically and randomly clear themselves. To check if you're actually banned or not, go check on the Neoboards or go into other shops.
>Why are you guys playing this?
Mainly nostalgia. And to make some in-game dosh.
>Why am I so poor?
Feel free to ask for advice! For newcomers, the battledome is a steady source of income and is a good way to get started.
>Battledome rewards are here, with both per-arena and per-opponent lists: http://battlepedia.jellyneo.net/?go=battle_prizes

It depends on your account age.
Higher ages mean you can put in more to get more out of it.
As for winning or losing, you will generally win more than you lose.
Even on losing streaks, the amount you make during medium to big wins makes up for it.
And the small wins typically mean they pay for themselves.

Bless whoever said the Battledome was the best way of earning money, I got 93,450 NP just today
I'm so fucking happy right now
>>11387144
I only just now remembered Turmaculus on my own now, & fretted a bunch about forgetting to inform /npg/ of it!!
I'm like, almost 45 minutes late to saying this, but thank you, anon!
I got 100 Neopoints!
i want to enter in the bc but i'm intimidated how easily some people win just by spamming
(i dont want to directly say shit art but... you know)
>>11387846
It's okay, you can say it here.
Neopets is where the worst types of people win.
Whether it's the shitty art spammers, the terrible caption spammers, or the hermit housewives cramming crumpets down kads.
>>11387929
ugh, yeah. i don't have the patience to kad because of overfeeders. what's even the point? why do they waste money just to see their name
i'm gonna give bc a shot next week. why does my bet have to be a goddamn lupe, i can't even morph him to an unpopular species for it.
also i'm curious why cc vote spammers are ok but bc votes aren't ok outside of certain boards.
my first bc got dq'd because i had no idea about that rule and i had a trade board up.

Let me guess, there's a cap.
And you have the gall to not eat my petpet!

>>11384827
I think Sophie was the main reason I turned out to be a dyke and furfag. I haven't been on Neopets for at least seven years but my friend told me the economy so fucking shit there's no point in playing it. Is this true?
>>11392040
Depends on what part of the economy
>>11392040
Good taste
Sophie is probably the best waifu on the site and there's a good few to choose from
>>11392040
Some parts of the game are completely imbalanced, but that doesn't really affect the more casual aspects of the site. What parts of the game are/were you interested in?
Wake up

This is a very strange corner of 4chan indeed, isn't it?
>>11393870
what, /npg/ or /trash/ in general?

/npg/. It's like those bars behind secret doors in some sewer in NYC.
You've got:
>All the people who know about 4chan
>The subset of those people who actually browse 4chan
>The subset of those people who browse boards other than /pol/, /v/, /tv/, /b/
>The subset of those people who actually know that /trash/ exists
>The subset of those people that actually browse /trash/
>And finally, the subset of those people that actively browse/participate in /npg/.
Which leaves us with about 20 people. Also, I used to be in the /npg/ in /vg/ back in 2012, then when I tried to find it again earlier this year it was gone, and I just happened upon /npg/ one day while browsing /trash/ out of boredom. There are a lot of people that still don't know we moved boards.
So it's a very cozy corner of the internet. I feel like I know all you guys personally.
>>11395321
I think I joined /npg/ in 2013
I miss how active it was back then, there was so much going on at all times of the day
>>11395645
Yeah it was cool too because we were pulling a lot of people back into neopets. I remember the /vg/ guild had like 250 people in it. Even if they all still got frozen for doing dumb shit it was fun.
>>11395756
lmao I missed that huge ban wave
all I know is people started using 'aisha' on the forums as an allegory for 'nigger' and eventually TNT caught on that people were using a pet name in place of something else
>>11395776
lol yeah it's like come on guys, the first rule of Neopets is to never post on their forums unless you absolutely have to
Anybody have any good recommendations for an autobuyer? I've been wanting to get in on some restock dosh for a while now, but have been to afraid of getting iced. But I'm in a "fuck it" kind of mood today.
>>11396087
clraik's autobuyer was pretty good when I used it for a time. I don't use it any more though because I can't be bothered with the effort of selling stuff and trudy + foodclub is enough for what I do in the game these days
>>11396112
I'll check that one out, but I thought it required their gold package or whatever buyable rank they have.
Yeah, my tastes aren't usually too expensive, but I just recently started powerlevelling my pet to escape the mystery island training school, and it's proving more expensive than i'm used to.
speaking of, there isn't a pet trainer bot out there, is there?

You can actually get 10 quests with 1 cookie if you time it right. Open your cookie late in the evening NST and you'll have time for 1 extra quest in the morning because the cookie goes by hours, not days passed. Hope that makes sense.

Oh shit. I really hope it doesn't hit you! Good luck, & please be well!

It has been so many years, my account no longer exists. That's probably a good thing, especially after all the terrible drawings back then.

Good luck
my old account still exists but the email it had on it doesn't so im fucked as password resetting goes.
i got an exploit with the buried treasure game that i remember from way back.
>>11409397
im going to be nice so here it is. the game is a set of x,y coordinates the papers in the holes don't matter. slowly move the mouse around the board till the url preview on the bottom of your web browser "blinks". that spot is a win spot.

Did it drift?
Why would they have it as a number that drifts!?

Jealous, anon! A non-priority goal of mine is a pirate/alien crosspaint

There's a Neopets thread on /co/ and somebody drew a cybunny scout from the virtupets plot. Thought you guys might like it.
>>11428373
that's a good bun
>>11425055
>Crosspaint
WHAT. I always wanted to cross paintbrushes since I was a child. Did they add this feature?
>>11428384
Cybunny scout is a massively under appreciated waifu.
>>11428424
a little? crosspainting refers to painting your pet one colour with unique clothing like royal or alien and then putting the clothes in the wardrobe and repainting your pet to another color and putting the clothes back on
this lets you do combos like snot aishas in the alien aisha space suit like this anon has >>11423981
>>11428495
Shit I can finally get my plushie pirate shoyru. Did you draw that art of your pet anon? It's really good.

What would you say was the scariest and most child unfriendly thing Neopets had? I remember having nightmares about the haunted house adventure game as a child.
>>11436467
That jumspcare in Tyrannia spooked my guts off, but I was a dumb kid.
>>11436467
Sacrificers had the staff murdered in gruesome ways.
Ski Lodge Murder Mystery has it right there in the title.
And yeah, the Haunted House was pretty brutal.
http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml
How brutal could a blasting from The Snowager be? I mean, with all those spears & shards of ice coming to cut & impale you & your pets, & all that icy wind breath rushing over your bodies....

/co/ migrant here, it was me.
Was told about the general here and thought I'd check it out. [spoiler]I tend to avoid trash because of the explicit images. This thread is safe from that, right?... Right?
>>11445069
/npg/ is probably the most consistently clean thread on /trash/ with only occasional porn instead of a non stop stream of it but mostly cute

I've never wanted to fug a Neopet as much as I want to fug that bori.
>no tyrannia plot comic with qt Chomby protag
Man everytime I come back to /npg/ I realize how much I love the idea of Neopets than actually playing it. There's so much good art out there, and playing dress up with the pets the extent allowed in the game just scratches an itch no MMO has ever accomplished. Goddamn is it a pain to do anything on the website though. Neopets deserves so much more than it gets. I really wish there was a website reboot. It could probably come back into prominence if it was powered by nostalgia and more waifu art of the caliber Neopets seems to consistently have.
Really I hope it does try again since I'd love to see another console game.
>>11448147
Their art is so cute.

Also, OH SHIT IT'S DRAIK DAY, /NPG/!!!
HAPPY DRAIK DAY, /NPG/!!!
http://www.neopets.com/community/index.phtml
http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=dailypuzzle
Answer today's Daily Puzzle with "Guardsman Henkel" for 257 NP & a Blue Cheese Draik Head, a Rarity 89 Food item last priced at:
940 NP by JN.
1,273 NP by NC.
& 1,000 NP by the 1st shop NC lists as selling it!
Given that Draiks have a specific means of being created -taking a Draik Egg to the Draik Nest- & their official classification is not "Limited Edition", but "Restricted", if my memory serves, there's probably not gonna be any Draiks made available to be created at the Create-A-Neopet page today....
Never mind all the drama doing that would cause, or that today's a weekend, when TNT tends to be less active....
But if you want, you can keep an eye on the Create-A-Neopet page anyway, /npg/: http://www.neopets.com/reg/page4.phtml
Also, free training all day today for Draiks level 40 & under HERE: http://www.neopets.com/pirates/academy.phtml?type=courses
As far as I've seen, no new colours or clothes out yet for Draiks just yet, /npg/!!
Anyway, enjoy Draik Day, /npg/!!

pls don't sexualise the neopets
>>11457188
I'd say it's okay. We're on /trash/, so that's allowed on this board, & I doubt you're gonna spam the thread with porn, which some may dislike.
Besides, original content is always a good thing!

its so funny bc i hate how neopets is so ban happy but i get so excited getting someone banned
there was someone on the pound chat offering a uc plush tonu and i reported it and didnt see him again
im such a hypocrite
i got banned unfairly and yet i still cause it for people ...
>>11465446
>>11465885
Sometimes I lurk the trade chat when I'm restocking and need shops to check for RS ban. Anything I see those cunts post that could even possibly be against the rules, I report and laugh when they complain about being warned/silenced for it.
You guys got any stories of times other players pissed you off?
are you fucking kidding me
>>11467847
when i was auctioning against this guy for a worthless sandwich
he won. he spent over 200np on something worth far less, but he won. the minimum inc. was 1np
>>11467847
Onetime when I was seven some dude wrote me telling me he was going to kill me because I adopted a pet from the pound before he could. To this day I am still filled with rage thinking about it.
>>11468080
do you remember the pet's name? i would have laughed
>>11468121
It was my shoyru who I kept to this day and love. It was just a blue shoyru but apparently it was his and he accidentally put it in the pound but it's not my fault he was stupid.

just be nice to your fellow general users and if you ever use the official neopet boards don't talk about 4chan or any off-site community really
>>11474325
be kind to bori anon
and as it is your first time you must post your pets
you can censor the names if you like but you must show us your pets
Not posting stats because I never did Battledome as a kid so they're shit.
>>11474346
I've only posted on the neoboards about twice in my entire neopets career.
>>11474460
My shoyru has changed a lot. He's been a mutant techo, faerie koi, darigan cybunny, and royalgirl uni throughout his life.
>>11474655
nice pets
>>11474655
why is your princess naked
that's lewd
>>11474670
Why thank you
>>11474680
I don't like how the post neomall dress looks. It looks sloppily pasted on and she looks better without it.
What's the deal with selling rare, expensive items that you've restocked? Is it safe to sell it immediately, or is it better to wait a while before selling it? I remember one anon getting dragged into some neoboard bs because he was selling an item he had for a while on the TP that apparently stocked in a store, and some """people""" thought that he was using an auto-buyer because the item went "too fast :)" and hounded him about it. I can't remember what happened in the end, but remembering the event itself actually made me mad.
>>11474325
Look into your Safety Deposit Box and check the prices of all the tradeable stuff on JellyNeo. You might have some sought-after items you can sell for a bunch of np! And welcome back!
>>11475567
people on trade chat and pound chat are all cancerous and assume if *they* didn't get an item then whoever did must be cheating
>>11475613
But I'd bet they're using auto-buyers themselves. Obviously the best solution is to ignore them, but what I'm worried about is getting banned/frozen because enough of them got upset and reported you. Does that happen frequently enough to warrant worry? Or am I just overreacting?
>>11475663
I think you're overreacting a little bit but it's best to just ignore those chats in general
Here's the first one in my trap xweetok series I'm doing. I'm hoping to do around twelve of different paintbrush colors.
>>11475753
that's a cute girl (boy)
>>11475700
I thought so. Thanks anon, I was getting a bit paranoid about selling items on the TP.
>>11475753
Cute! Could you do a Chocolate or Darigan one?
>>11475817
I'm planning on doing Halloween, Chocolate, Darigan, Christmas, Faerie, Mutant, Tyrannian, Plushie, Island, Maraquan, and Woodland.
How many neopoints you got in your bank anons?
>>11475903
Good color choices! I'm interested in how the Maraquan and Mutant ones will come out especially!
>>11475944
I've got about 144 million. I've never restocked; I used to do Habi, KQ and GC a lot. Now I just live off my bank interest, nerks from the BD and Trudy.
>>11476043
>144 million
Fucking how. I just checked my account after years and I have about 147,000. I don't know what the hell kid me was doing.
>>11476080
To be fair, it's not too difficult to make neopoints nowadays. Especially if your account is old, you can make a lot of money from Food Club. I myself have about 56 million in the bank, and I get my money mainly from my shop and Food Club without putting in much effort.
>>11476174
Just buy low sell high?
I like swamp witch
>>11476188
Pretty much. The cheapest way to get most items is by restocking, getting lucky in dailies, or doing the battledome for codestones and other items. You pretty much never buy anything from other users, unless it's impossible/extremely difficult to obtain otherwise or incredibly cheap. Check http://battlepedia.jellyneo.net/?go=battle_prizes to see which opponents and domes drop what items, but the best domes are the Dome of the Deep (smallest 'unique' prize pool so you're more likely to get codestones) and the Neocola Centre (small 'unique' prize pool which includes Armoured Negg, Neocola Tokens, and a couple of r90+ foods you can sell for more than 1k, as well as a very good chance of getting codestones from there). Also, almost every year there's the Charity Corner or other sitewide event that requires you to hand in items to participate, and you get an item in return in the range of what you donated (so if you donated r90+ items you'll get a random r90+ item back, donated r70 you'll get a random r70 back, etc.). During these events the prices of r90+ stuff (very rare to ultra rare in you inventory) skyrockets, because everyone wants a chance to get back an item that's worth a lot. I'd say dump any r90+ items in your SDB until the event, then throw them into your shp[ and watch the neopoints roll in.
>>11476349
she's good
>>11476354
*shop. Sorry about the wall of text and typos. Also forgot to add that when a new item comes out and you're lucky enough to get it in shop soon after, if it's less than r90 sell it as quickly as possible. Since it's not rare there'll be a lot of them in circulation in a short amount of time, and the price will drop like a rock to reflect that (new items, no matter what, will always have a high price at first due to the scarcity and people wanting to be one of the first ones to have it). If you use JN's item database newest items will be on the front page, as well as on the New Features page on the main site.
>>11476456
Another addendum about the Battledome: Cursed Elixir is the best item to use if your pets have low stats due to it healing your pet by 20 points and dealing 20 points of damage to your opponent. There is no difference in prizes between challenger difficulty, so the easiest difficulty is more than fine for getting prizes. You'll also want the Scroll of Ultranova, Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer, and a shield like the Leaf Shield or Scarab Ring to get a basic Battledome setup.
I just checked the prices of the Cursed Elixir, and the price skyrocketed from 20k from when I bought mine. I have an extra one I can lend/give you, if you want it. Drop a junk item lot on the TP and leave your username, and I'll give you one. Or I can do something else to give it to you, if you want to.
>>11475944
Closing in on 350mil.
>>11477012
Good God, what's your bank interest?
>>11475944
Around 10 million. I could have more if I could recover my old account from 2004.
>>11477012
how tf
>>11477035
119,481, though I've got Bank Bribery right now so it's currently 148,157. Feels goodman.
I want to make a gallery, but I'm in the singularly weird situation where I _could_ probably afford everything I want to get, but a lot of the things I want to get are so hard to find that nobody's actually selling them.

s/he plays a riskier game than Garet, but it's solid enough. I'll also use these bets if my dailies have been particularly kind.
>>11477168
How's your battle set? I'd consider upgrading now before the battle event starts in November.
>>11477143
Food Club with 12000 NP max bet as of today
Nerkmids from premium BD
Bank interest
Trudy
Wishing Well
Assorted minor dailies
Plus I made 100M from this year's Charity Corner by stocking up on a bunch of r90-99 items.
>>11477230
Yeah, I've thought about it. I don't have much of a battleset to speak of, I've currently got 2x Turned Tooth. I think the next step up would probably be something like an anagram sword, freezer, and maybe a ghostkerbomb.
>>11476349
swamp witch?
more like swamp BITCH!
>>11477599
>>11477341
Not >>11477230 but still
60mil or so will bag you a thyoras tear and a leaded elemental vial [spoiler]if you can fucking find one for sale[/spoiler] At least, that's what it cost me on my last account.
Also, what species is your battlepet? Lennys have the two cheapest %100 freezers on market last I checked. Cheap enough that I'm still wrestling with feeding my bori a morphing potion so that he can use one. Otherwise the h4 helmet is probably your best bet at around 3 mil.
As for offense, yeah, ghostkerbomb and an anagram sword are a good bet, until you get to where your comfortable dropping a couple hundred mil per weapon. Sword of fire is the hardest to block, but since ghostkerbomb already deals mostly fire, you might want to go for the air sword instead. Your call.
Might be smart to invest in a multi-use shield and another multi-use weapon also, but I never had to bother. Still, another anagram sword wouldn't be a bad idea, and the h nox memorial shield gets a lot of praise.
Be warned, this is all knowledge from either an old account of mine that was frozen about a year ago (which could have changed by now) or from a couple minutes on the jn battlepedia (which can be somewhat unreliable). Still, you've got 3X the money I ever had anon. The [spoiler]1P[/spoiler]battledome is your fucking oyster.
>>11477910
Aw fuck i forgot we couldn't spoiler on trash. Shame me, fellas. I deserve it.
pls dont morph your bori
>>11477945
Okay anon. No need to break my heart. I can save up.

Sophie, Bruno, Cybunny Scout, Xandra, Nabile, and Janzan.
good night
Can't decide what my fourth pet should be. I've had only three since I was nine years old.
>>11477341
>Plus I made 100M from this year's Charity Corner by stocking up on a bunch of r90-99 items
By donating the items, or selling them? Never done a charity corner before, so trying to figure out how to go about things by the time the next one rolls around

>>11477341
>wishing well
wtf
teach me, master
>>11484462
Selling. Donating gets you mostly pretty worthless items and a few big-ticket ones that you have to sell through the Trading Post or auctions. That might earn you as much as selling donatable items if you do it enough (or maybe it wouldn't, I'm not sure), but then you'll have to deal with all the fuckery surrounding trades.
>>11475944
Only 3,509,430 NP
>mfw I'm probably the poorest here
I've never done Battledome before but I want to start. Is there a good guide for what items to buy and how to best go about it from a newbie perspective?
>>11485987
http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=wishingwell
7 donations, 21 NP per donation, look at the recent winners to see what people are asking for. Halloween Y14 Goodie Bag is the go-to default but then sometimes another item comes out that's worth more because it just got released and people jump on it until the price stabilizes. You can expect to win once every month or two.
>>11486121
>174,500
I have you beat anon. To be fair I've just recently opened my account again. I have no clue how I'm going to regain it.
>>11486157
I've been on Neopets for a long while, I just suck at not wasting my money
>>11486472
I want a plushie paint brush but I'm gonna have to save up for awhile.
>>11486472
>I just suck at not wasting my money
How? I have no idea on what to spend my money anymore.
>>11486606
I'm buying a bunch of morphing potions to change my Chomby's species and get the avatars, then I'll use the Disco Chomby Morphing Potion that I have to make him a Chomby again
>>11486617
I buy a lot of shit that I don't need, like wearables that I don't use and shit like that
So close
http://www.neopets.com/worlds/deadlydice.phtml
Yay, lost 1 level!
Chomby are good
>>11489409
If they're so good how come they never made a chomby 2
What the fucking hell, from battledome alone I made about 200,000 today what the shit. Why did I never do this as a kid my pet isnt even that strong.
>>11489860
I should start doing things for money so I can afford a 50% healer for my BD pet since he's about to hit 500 hp
>>11489860
You probably didn't do it as a kid because the BD didn't give out prizes until the revamp around 2013.
Also, Snowager's morning nap time.
http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml
Anyone here do beauty contest?
>>11486031
So is it any r90-99 item, or are there restrictions? For instance, I have a bunch of shit-tier battlemagic items in my sdb (going for the packrat avatar). Will all those snowballs and potions and whatnot climb in price?
Or should I be buying up a specific type of item in prep for the next charity corner?
>>11490701
I've never done it before but I'm debating it. I like to think my art is alright but it's not great by any means.
>>11486122
What's your budget, anon? What level is your pet?
This anon here
>>11476354
>>11476739
gave a decent beginners guide. Also http://battlepedia.jellyneo.net/?go=beginners is great for absolute beginners. The formatting is a little weird, but it's all there. Navigate using the links at the top of the page.
For low level pets, start with S750 Kreludan Defender Robot. Once your able to reliably beat the Koi Warrior, then you'll be sticking to Dome of the Deep until something changes.
As for training, don't bother training movement. Train str/def/end as high as you can before you're forced to train level. Stick with pirate academy until you're forced to mystery island at level 40. Train to level 50 and get the lens flare ability. Then do what you want.
For fuck's sake, do stocks just not get up to 60 anymore? This is probably the third time I've seen one jump to the mid 50s, just to fall to the low 40s by the same time next day. Should I just switch to selling at 45 /npg/? Or do I just need to be more patient?
Got this is an event. Anyone know how much this piece is worth? I can never tell with lab maps these days.
>>11490865
If I knew that, I could control the entire site economy. Each Charity Corner event has taken different types of items. The first CC in 2014 took toys. The next one in 2015 had a "back to school" theme and collected Books, Clothes, and School items. The one this year had the biggest item pool thus far and took Books, Coffee, Food, Furniture, and Gift items. Each year the selection of items has been based on which stores they restock in, so there are some gaps in this list - for example, Clothes didn't include back/foregrounds, and Furniture didn't include Brightvale Windows for some reason.
I'm anticipating that they'll ask for weapons in an upcoming CC because they still haven't done them and there are a LOT of weapons on the servers, but there's no way to be sure. Weapons do seem to be the category with the greatest number of cheap r90-99 items, and at least there's no harm in holding on to them. If you want to stock up on items in preparation though, I'd suggest trying to get things from several different categories so it's more likely that you'll have hoarded some of the stuff they ask for.
