Well, that's helpful as hell!! First RE I've had in a while and it's an illness!

I was thinking it would go well with the Maraquan Kacheek or Shoyru in particular, although the Kacheek is perhaps a little too big!! But yes, the Flotsam and the Koi mutants work nicely in there as well! The Jetsam works surprisingly well in mutant form as well.

You'll need to allow flash on both Firefox and Edge as well if you're using those browsers.

I love the Houdini inspired one! What's the tank called?

I hadn't twigged that there were other items, but it does look as though they normally try to prevent two NP items having the same name at least. I can kind of see the lack of concern with NC items - they can't show up in user shops after all. Actually, that would be quite a nifty additon - NC user shops. Although I suppose the potential for absolute fleecing of unsuspecting members would come into play making it unworkable. It would save the hassle of trading caps and items via gift boxes though. I'm currently trying to nag them into fixing a graphics issue on the NC mutant draik wearables via editorial, but if that ever gets addressed I might have a go at seeing if they can change the name!

I am not having much joy with my new lab ray access:

So I was going through my shop checking prices and found my Yooyuball Cake Pops were vastly overpriced. But then when I checked again, they weren't. The reason? There are two different items! Same name!! What happened there!?

Yeah, I think it was sold for a limited period of time and there are really very few being traded on either JN or DTI so regardless of whether I overpaid I'm quite happy with that!! I have now completed my draik customisation with the exception of a collar - I may wait to see if another collar is sold at some point rather than trying to trade for the Spiked Mutant Collar which is valuable as hell by the looks of it!

I suspect I've also just been part of friendly highway robbery but I really really wanted that dress! I got it in the end by trading for some Krawley Contacts and throwing in my existing Twigs and Flowers Foreground. According to Waka it was worth significantly less, but I think the owner had a huge point when he said that there were very few being traded so he personally felt it was worth signifcantly more. And none of the other owners with it on their list had even replied to my trade offer so I'll take what I can get!

I'm more conscious of names now than I was as a child - hence tdub1002 - although I'm less concerned if I know I'm going to be keeping them as a permie as then the name just needs to mean something to me. Looking for a pet to grab from the pound for re-adoption, I was more concerned with the potential for re-adoption and pets have more of a chance if they are one word, properly capitalised and pronounceable. I think with those two names in particular they are long winded with too many compound parts.

Hah! I thought they were horrendous! But hey, even my worst named pet - tdub1002 - wasn't named through the auto name generator. Nope, I made up that monstrosity all by myself!

Thanks! My only regret with putting the map on my side is that I won't get the avatar. But I have two unaged sides and am otherwise full pet space wise... and I've rarely actively hunted avatars. Most of them I've just come across over the last decade and a half! I used http://www.neopets.com/~Kylinth for my pet grabbing as they only list WN and VWN pets. I figure if I get a second map for another side in the future, I might pick up less well named pets and see if I can give those a second chance as well! Thanks! I've been rather jealous of those of you with the lab ray for a while!! My main issue was that I have very specific plans for all my current pets and they don't tend to involve changing species for example! But the idea of having the lab ray on a side for the sole purpose of zapping pets to help them find their forever homes really worked for me.... even if it cost a small fortune!

That's my current plan, although with only one lab ray access I'm starting with well named pets that are stuck in the pound. I'll eventually pick up a second lab ray for another side and I'll likely pick up less well named pets on that one and see if I can't get them adopted as well. I get the struggle to create names, but some of these are clearly one person creating variations on one name and then pounding the lot which just seems ridiculous!!

I was Pound surfing for a well named pet to start zapping - before I found a page of well named pets stuck in the pound (http://www.neopets.com/~Kylinth if anyone is interested) - and I can't help but be baffled at the number of abandoned pets with appalling names. Why bother creating a pet with an utterly poor name only to abandon it?? I have pets with poor names, but they have sentimental value to me so I wouldn't be trying to trade them anyway. Some examples currently sitting in the Pound: 43wrtgfhdsg JoseCarlosdaFonseca Jose_Lupe_Cuervos kiki_12345679__bia _fire1_fire1_67 asasd_asasd_2_2 AS123jjjjj chelsea97541486

I had intended to wait to purchase it, but I got impatient! So I am now the proud owner of a lab ray and a blue Kau from the Lost and Pound who I am zapping until I get a decent colour for her! I admit my first zap was rather underwhelming for the 2 million neopoints I just shelled out for this particular project... And yes, my main goal with the lab ray is to just keep adopting pets who are stuck in the pound and zap them into something cuter. It feels somehow right!

I'd like to trade a Snow Yooyu for a Tyrannian Yooyu if anyone is interested. The Tyrannian Yooyu is worth just under 4 million and the Snow Yooyu is worth 5 million according to JN. So I'd be looking to do a trade with an additional 500,000np pure, so selling the Snow Yooyu for just under 4.5 million rather than the full 5 million if that makes sense.

Thanks for the heads up! Entry sent!

Not keen on the new colour but I have created a Kiko and named it Kiklopi, a corruption of the Latvian word for Garlic that also has the bonus of meaning Cyclops in Croation apparently! Needless to say, my eventual aim is a Garlic Kiko! The PJ set is quite cute!

Congratulations!! That's one heck of an achievement! I've done NQ on Evil and am really slowly plodding through NQII on Evil... I mean it's taken me years and I'm not off the first map!!

I don't collect avies seriously and I apparently have it as well!

The only one I have plans for is the Altador Mansion which I've already bought: I'll likely use my Ghoul Catchers neopoints to buy the amulets over the coming months as if I'm brutally honest, I'm never getting past Faerieland!

I think we just have to wait and see in honesty. Neopets Island Builders has been released, but I have an iPhone so can't comment on if there are any site rewards. If you have an older account on neopets, Food Club can be lucrative.

Oh... my... well... this will keep me awake at night!!

I admit, I never got into L&L. I played Ghoul Catchers for the easy 50k but I suspect I will be buying a lot of the prizes as I'm early in the Faerieland map and stuck for pity's sake! Wish I'd have looked to see there were prizes earlier as the items were significantly cheaper just a month ago!! But at least I can buy them. I hate scrabble so resigned myself very early on to never getting the items for L&L!! I will also edit my main post - all prizes on Ghoul Catchers can be redeemed until December 2020, whereas site prizes for L&L are being completely discontinued. I hadn't twigged the difference until after I posted and for some reason TDN forums wouldn't work on my laptop for most of yesterday!
