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.

Mainly nostalgia. And to make some in-game dosh.

Feel free to ask for advice! For newcomers, the battledome is a steady source of income and is a good way to get started.

Also hooray I'm on the winning team, eat my dust losers.
>>9645795
How is "Your Bori has a fantastic posterior and I would like to maximize the contact between that plush posterior and my face as fully and efficiently as possible so as to experience it in it's entirety" not being nice?

Sorry to dash your hopes, but better safe than sorry. & I'm joining Faerieland. Although I'd be sorry for the folks joining Darigan Citadel if I heard it was DC -which is fine with me- I'd be happy to know who CLRaik joined.
I doubt anyone has made any progress on that, BTW, have they?

Are they having a staff tournament this year? Because I want that avatar. If not, I guess I'll have to move it to my "unobtainable" section

ok boys, 15 games of Yooball, here we go.
Gotta love how the opposing team can get right up in the goalies' face and harass the shit out of him when he's trying to throw the ball. Just like regular soccer.
>>9660687

You do the other games too?
Saw it was possible to get the best trophy after six days doing all them.
But god that just seems awful.
Why are pants so expensive? I just want my dragon to be modest and not show his slit off to everyone like a gutter whore
>>9662251
>not showing off that massive dick
Anon are you okay?
>>9662251
Pff, just have him go naked.
That's what most of my pets are.
Except my special little guy.
He gets to be all fancy no pantsy.
So, /npg/. To get the All-Star by only playing Yooyuball, you'd have to play 46 games a day for 19 days. 3 minutes a game, that's 140 minutes (2¼hours) a day. Roughly 44 hours of Yooyuball.
There must be a way, right? You aren't all that masochist, are you /npg/?
Any tips on making this less painful?

Just get ahead in scoring and then hide in the corner for 2+ minutes.
You get to do whatever it was you'd do otherwise, and basically shave off 2/3rds of the time you would be staring at the matches.

>>9666427
BD ain't cheap
>>9666021
>>9666375
That depends on whether you care about the type of icons you're putting out. If you just want raw damage output, a Turned Tooth completely outdoes Ylanas and costs less than 1/4 of the price. It's slightly less useful against other players, since Earth and Physical blockers are fairly common, but it completely shreds single-player opponents.

She's just naturally the best scorer right?
My most goals are with her as well without even trying.
Man, Shenkuu has 4 top-scoring players (more than most other teams!) and yet it's stuck down at 11th.
Don't get this system at all.

THESE MOTHERFUCKERS RIGHT HERE.
THEY ARE MAKING MY GAMES MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN THEY SHOULD BE.
That fucking Ogrin is invisible I swear.
Blends right in and I don't realize it's an opposing team member at all.
The Shoyru is also really good at early steals.
And unlike Mystery Island's Mynci, she actually is on my heels.
Honestly she's great and should join Shenkuu.
>>9663021
Actually, it's faster to play the game like a normal Neopian. Every goal removes 8 seconds from the clock, so you can save a few seconds from each game as long as you mash through the "Press any key to continue" screens well enough.
Even if you only score like... 10 goals per game, & we assume that mashing through screens takes away 6 of the 8 seconds you save scoring, that's still 20 seconds removed from every 3 minute Yooyuball game you play.
Across 46 games daily, that's a time save of 15 minutes & 20 seconds. At least.
So yes, you can get ahead in scoring & then do whatever for most of the game....
But those 46 games will still take longer to complete, even if it's idling, there's no guarantee the AI won't out score you in the time remaining -meaning you won't have a win to submit & you'll have wasted 3 minutes- if you don't get enough points & not getting those goals may not be as helpful to your team anyway.

>>9669447
2, IMHO. Not very scummy. They chose to dump those items & they accepted your offer, didn't they?
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Nor were you actively trying to deceive them, so long as you didn't try to misinform them about their items' value, right?
Just so long as you're not trying to scam 'em. I mean, in your place, if they're dumping stuff for free, I might try to inform them that some of their items are worth more than "no NP at all". But it's their choice to accept little to nothing for it, especially if it's an informed decision.

As far as all the crack team engineers over the years have been able to determine, it's completely, 100% random. I got it after like 20 pulls, but I've read some people have sunk over 1m into it and still no avatar.
That's the crazy thing that makes Neopets still so enticing. A lot of the old school stuff that was setup back in the day was done by literally just doing math.random(1, 100000) or whatever the odds are. So many things are just pure chance, it's addictive.
I thought I would never get the Symol Hole avatar, and one day it just happened. Meanwhile I've been spinning the Wheel of Excitement for years and still no avatar. Other people have random luck with other stuff.
>>9668909
Is this a Neopets reference to T2? Where is it?
>>9670799
I feel so dirty whenever I go there. The entire forum is controlled by those two 30-something women, Rachel and Aura or whatever her name is.
They're such complete attention whores too, they always have all these threads like "Tee Hee, I'm making pasta! What should the sauce be???". They feed off of the attention from all the lonely guys there and basically live their lives on clraik. It's pathetic really.

>>9671200
It's a terrible, awful shithole but I can't leave because the shitposting is some of the best on the site. It's like panning for gold: hours and hours and hours of nothing, but then you find a gold nugget that makes it all worth it.
Really it's like playing the slots, which I guess explains why I'm back into Neopets.

If you're just starting out, and I mean JUST starting out, then ridiculously heavy battle hammer is the best deal for you in single player. Deals 9 (easily blocked) icons for 10np. For a couple thousand, a scarab ring is a decent dual-duty, and parasol of demise is a full light blocker, plus 3 water and 3ish earth.
If you feel like sinking a bit more into a beginner's set, for about 150k or so (haven't checked recently) you can net yourself a scroll of knowledge (11 icons of 5 types) and a patched magic hat (5 earth, 3 light, 3-6 physical defense).
Again, these are for single player battles. It is my personal recommendation that you avoid 2p battledome completely. Those users fall into pokemon levels of Asperger's sustained tedium in how meticulously they prep.

>>9675138
We already know clraik is Team Darigan. Plus they blew their load already by getting themselves banned so TNT has set up Roo Island to win, you can tell because their latest staff member is shilling them.
So guys, do you do anything to help prevent your fingertips from wanting to be cut off while playing the cup?

Last year they overdid it on the scoresending so they got a lot of their side accounts banned. They also got innocent people banned too, pretty much anybody on the same team. Neocodex got really up their ass about that so now the two have a rivalry.

Not him but if you paint a pet a new color do you get to keep the old cloths from the last color? Like if I have a pirate dude that I then paint green or whatever will I still be able to put parts of the pirate outfit on him?
>>9688882
yep - you keep all paint brush clothes, even if you change it's colour
it's for this reason I'm thinking of making my lab rat halloween with my ffq - just for the clothes
pic related, my dream elephante custom
>>9688882
I forget what happens if you paint them, but you can move the Paint Brush Clothes from your pet to your closet on the Customization page, & they'll be safe during the painting.
Although, doing a bit of searching, this guide may help, too: http://www.sunnyneo.com/customisation/Ccustom.php
>When you paint a pet with a paint brush that gives you clothes, let's say for instance the Pirate paint Brush, serveral pirate clothing items will appear in your closet, and your pet will look like a pirate. If you then repaint your pet, to let's say striped, the pirate clothes will still be in your closet. This will allow you to give a striped pet pirate clothes. Every time you paint your pet, you will be able to keep the clothes that came with that colour, this goes also for pets that are zapped into different colours by the laboratory.
I'd assume it goes for the Rainbow Fountain, too.

Any of your lending chain one's are easy to get

beauty contest is easy - morph into a cheap unpopular species
Icesnake is asleep
http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml
>>9692267
Thanks anon. I'm part of a lending chain right now, but the chucklefuck who's next decided to go AFK for 5 days and the pet is stuck in the pound transfer.
As for Tonu, I tried to set something up with a guy who had one from [spoiler]reddit[/spoiler], but I think the 2-player BD is glitched or something. I'd send him the challenge, he'd accept and make the first move, then when I went to the BD the next day, I wasn't fighting anyone. It's like nothing happened. We tried this like 4 or 5 times before he finally ghosted me, and I can't blame him, so I kinda shelved that one for awhile.
The item ones can be moved to lending, but I do like to try and make a bit of dosh on them in the process. For awhile I was wheeling and dealing in Icy Snowflakes and Chokato cards. It's how I raised enough capital to start making bigger purchases. On the other hand, it's been a month and no one's bought my BGC for market rates yet, so that blows.
Thanks for the Beauty Contest suggestion! I actually have a Gnorbu, which seems to be a pretty unpopular pet, so that might be fun. The only thing is I can't draw for shit, so...
Ugh, bust.
Damn Orvinn.

>Even if you only score like... 10 goals per game

So, whats your average GPG /npg/?
>>9690382
12:10.
Eh.
>>9694636
Like 9 or 10.
>>9694636
Admittedly anon, I posted that & I do often usually win with about 10 goals. Less commonly, 7, or 11, 12 or 13.
Not sure of my exact average, but 10 isn't that bad.
IIRC, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to score, & each goal/Clockwork Yooyu explosion takes 8 seconds off the clock.
With super optimal play & likely good AI RNG, too, the best is 17 or 18 goals per game. This assumes you get & shoot the ball immediately, & don't miss any shots. As well as getting good balls & AI.
The AI rubber banding or RNG probably means getting more goals past a certain point is often difficult, too, & any goals from them take time off the clock.
10 isn't so bad, anon. Especially as an average; Even if it's not all the time, because of luck & stuff, simple math means that an average GPG of 10 means you've PROVEN you can do better.

46 Wins or Draws for Yooyuball
401 scores of 2,700 or more for Make Some Noise
86 scores of 270 or more for Slushie Slinger 401 scores of 35 or more Points (Which you only need 1 goal for.) in Shootout Showdown.
Good luck, /npg/!!
This is going to be my first Altador cup (in a couple days since my account is too new to compete right now)
Are the prizes you get from all these games worth it?
>>9699811
Why not look at JN's Prize Shop guide for 2016's Altador Cup?
http://www.jellyneo.net/index.php?go=altadorcup11&id=prizes
They list how much each item costs in Prize Points on the guide. I earned about 10K just barely getting to All-Star.
You can click on an item's page to see how much it's valued at in JN's Item Database.
View the guide, look for item types that tend to sell well -Books, Wearables, Weapons, Stat-Increasers, Stamps, Collectables, Paint Brushes, exclusive Petpets, other exclusive items, etc.- & then compare them in the database.
As an example, this exclusive Stamp cost 3,000 Prize Points.
http://items.jellyneo.net/item/61883/
I could've bought 3, & they're valued at 900,000 NP each now.
Much cheaper was stuff like Tissue Dispenser Book & Jar of Archived Books, at 25 & 60 PP each.
http://items.jellyneo.net/item/61862/
http://items.jellyneo.net/item/61871/
Worth 6,000 & 15,000 NP each.
There are many more options in last year's Prize Shop, too!
The Prize Shop's contents are likely to change from year to year, but just looking at last year, I'd bet this year's prize shop will be good, too!
>>9700079
>paint brush
Well now I have to do it and i'm going to be several days behind
Is it worth playing other games than Yooyuball?
>>9698474
Anon....that's the joke
>>9700167
Mind you, you might've been able to earn more by selling multiple of the other items.
For example: With my 10,000 PP, I could've bought 400 Tissue Dispenser Boxes at 25 PP for 6,000 NP. Sell all 400 at 6,000 & I'd get about 2,400,000, not accounting for inflation.
More than the current 2 Million value of the Water Paint Brush.
3 of the stamp was also an option for about 900,000 NP each. 2.7K & much less inflation, since, being stamps they're 1-use collectables.
Yooyu Knuckle Dusters were only 180 PP but were last priced at 78,500 NP.
55 or 56.
4,317,500 NP if you sold 'em all.
But we don't know the PB Colour & again, inflation, & some PBs are still more valuable than that. So yeah, if you wanna go for a Paint Brush, feel free to.
>>9700548
You'll reach All-Star much faster by maxing more games per day.
Shootout Showdown is VERY fast -1 goal is enough & takes a few seconds- & is easy, for example.
19 days of Yooyuball maxing alone at minimum gets you All-Star, but so does 25 days of only maxing Make Some Noise or Shootout Showdown.
Make Some Noise is quick & easy too, but it's a mashing game, so you may have to pace your grinding of it throughout each day.
Ultimately, though, more playing, more prize points to buy those valuable exclusives, & you'll reach All-Star faster.
In fact, if you maxed all 4 games for only SIX days, you'd get All-Star.
http://www.jellyneo.net/index.php?go=altadorcup11&id=calculator
>>9700714
and it got skarl to laugh
>>9700745
I can't max any games sadly, I have things to do every day but thanks anyway!
>>9700745
Is there a counter where I can see how many games have I played today tho? That'd probably help
I just got to Rank 3 just now
>>9700909
When playing an AC game, there should be a "Your Stats" section next to it. Every time you send a valid score that gives you points in your ranks, your number of wins should increase for that.
Sadly, I'm not sure the site counts how many wins you have per day, just total.
You can also click your rank's icon here: http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/
That tells you how many of which games you'd need to win to get to your next rank.
However, the moment you send a score that updates your rank, your shield should visibly change on the game's page anyway.
Unsure if there are any such "wins/scores/games per day" counters on the site or on fan sites, but yeah.
I'm happy to help, both you and >>9700888 and anyone else, too! <3
Good luck playing, however much you do!

I got a Scratchcard
Oh, Roo Island seems to have beat us 43-0.
...
That's normal.
MT also got 43-0
something's fishy
Who else /autistic enough to give their pets personalities/ here?
http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml
Snowager is asleep, & soon, I will be, too.
>>9705715
Me sometimes. Mostly when they pick out their Monthly Freebies Foods, but at other times, too.
/trash/ is fast right now.
Also, I haven't checked the Help Neoboards to see what she's giving out today yet, because sleepy & lazy, but Tarla's 2nd interval of the day just began!
She'll be here when she does show up: http://www.neopets.com/freebies/tarlastoolbar.phtml
>>9705715
You mean there are people who don't do that? It doesn't even take that much time.
I wanted to come up with a character for my Darigan Bori but I just have her living in Neopia Central right now and she seems like she'd be much more of a normie than the other two pets I have stories for.
>Beat Roo Island in ever game except make some noise
Was not expecting that.

Why does my account keep logging out whenever I use this?
>>9714295
Because you can't log into two browsers at once. You also shouldn't browse the site while it's running since a human being can't play games and do that at once. Use your common sense.
Aw yeah, best so far.
>>9715338
Oh.
Well, I had a good run, see you in Antarctica, /npg/.
>>9716033
I fucking hate doing this Ghoul Catcher game over and over but the money is so good...
>>9716713
Is it still an unoptimized piece of shit's shit?
>>9717749
Eh it works fine on my phone its just annoying to play level 1 50 times in a row.
>>9716033
You probably won't be caught if you haven't been frozen already.
>>9705715
Totally.
What are your pets like when drunk /npg/?
>>9719592
what are they like when not drunk is the better question
>>9719592
My pets smoke hella dank nugs, just like their mommy
>>9720286
>this actually got a pet spotlight
So what's with that blue ring that happens if you cheer with the crowd in yooyuball?
Is the wheel of misfortune ever worth doing? It feels like you only get utter crap.
Also the war thing sign ups are open so that might be cool. I joined the brutes
>>9722528
Don't think it is.
Funny enough, Mediocrity is best wheel I think.
Really risky signing up so fast! :0
Usually we wait a few days to see who's getting the most support.
Although I occasionally jump onto any team with the chance at Stock Boons...
>>9722606
>Really risky signing up so fast!
Oh i'm that newbie that just started again so I just signed up for the one that I thought looked the coolest, oh well if I lose its whatever. I don't even know what the boons do
>>9722528
>Joining the Brutes
Their boons aren't the best, & they may not be the best team this round.
http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=tyrannian_battleground
http://www.sunnyneo.com/battledome/skirmishbattles.php
As for Wheel of Misfortune, there are good prizes possible.
In theory, you might be able to use it to reread this stat increasing Desert Scroll to your pet.
http://items.jellyneo.net/item/18158/
You could also use it to overwrite a disease with an expensive cure.
Some of the prizes may be worth your while, & the NP space can give 2 to 4000 NP.... But I'm unsure how often you'd profit.
http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=wheel_of_misfortune
By the way:
SIGN UPS FOR AN ALTADOR CUP TEAM CLOSE ON THE 6TH!!!

>>9722692
>Their boons aren't the best, & they may not be the best team this round.
Ahh well that's what I get for rushing in I guess.
At least I can grab the avatar this time around and I know in the future to wait.
>>9722720
Again, it's risky but not a lost hope.
They could turn out to be the team everyone supports this.
Or failing that, they could be a team that a secret shadow group helps win.
We've had that happen before.
The one thing you could do to ruin your chances though is not fight during the the time-frame.
Then it doesn't matter at all!
>>9722781
Well glancing at the boons the brutes seem pretty shit regardless. Looks like the best one for them is the double wheel spin one?
I'm guessing the overall best ones are the fairy quest reroller and Five-Finger Discount?
>>9722858
FFD is situational, because it's only 10% off in NPC shops; Not big savings unless you buy from them or restock often. Refreshed Quest Request is good if you have a Faerie's Quest Fortune Cookie....
IMHO, Cartogriphication is pretty good, as is Bank Bribery; Both are free NP.
Some like Cheaper by the Dozen however, for buying stocks cheaper to resell when they go up in value, though.
In any case, good luck, anon!!

>mq has climbed to 6
we started at 11
at this rate we could place
>>9719592
my wraith is a clingy drunk who latches onto the nearest body and holds on until they fall asleep
Is the ghoul catcher game not adding money for anyone else?
http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml
>>9719592
I'd guess that:
Faerie Xweetok: My battle pet. Lots of training, so probably the equivalent of a "girl bro". ("Bra girl"?)
Mutant Ruki: He's very intelligent. Lots of books. But still, I'd expect him to be unhinged, like you'd expect of a mutant Drunk.
Christmas Zafara: Most customized, so cutest/sluttiest... or innocent because Christmas Zafaras are angels. Or look the part anyway; They each have a halo & angel wings!
Faerie Cybunny: I'd assume the mischievious drunk who fucks with you in the non-sexual way, because faerie & she isn't buff like my battle pet. Or very sweet, as an alternative interpretation of possible Faerie colour pet behaviour.

wraith bori anon
you've inspired me to aim for a wraith korbat
seeing your bori has made me love the colour
>>9729224
aw, thanks anon!
It makes me happy that people like my pets, everyone who's drawn my pets over the past couple years is rad too, wraith is such a fun colour to look at.
He's definitely the character I have the most fun coming up with backstory for.
>>9729351
well for the longest time my korbat has been darigan, and it's been hard to come up with a character other than "edgy and evil"
but with wraith I can make it cuter and more of a prankster type character
>>9729435
I like Darigan in casual clothing
>>9719592
My Draik could probably hold her liquor pretty well (considering her profession often involves being arm candy for clients at parties with alcohol), but if she got proper drunk she'd be a very happy, very touchy-feely drunk, mostly just hugs and leaning on you (unless she actually really liked you, then the sky would be the limit to how far she'd go).
>>9729623

It's not cute, but I like it.
