Can someone help me find Torn White Gym Socks pretty please? I've found someone tryingt o sell me them for 10,000np but as JellyNeo seems to think they are worth less than 1000np I suspect he's inflated the price a tad...

Your drawing skills then were still way better than mine now!!

Hey, they accepted which had what was essentially an argument for legalising canabis recently!! http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=580669&week=896 I could potentially mock up an article about it given some time to think of the best way to present it... my drawing skills are sadly non-existant so comics aren't an option for me. I'm not sure how neopets works with joint credit though and I wouldn't want to steal your thunder (or excellent idea as the case may be).

So far I'm on a definite loss. I'm actually hitting more of them though!! I'll keep an eye out. I've been stockpiling for the next Charity Corner... You should write a Neopian Times article on the money laundering!! Keep it clean obviously but it could make for an interesting story!!

I hadn't and I wasn't too impressed with the basic but I loved the Tyrannian! Oh she is cute!! And yep, more colours would be awesome. I fell in love with the Tyrannian one at first site almost. And yep, I'm a returning player. I agree that I see things somewhat differently. Pets that were my 'dreamies' now seem less appealing for instance - I still like the Faerie Kougra, but it isn't one of my top pets any more. I never had any interest in the lab ray before but I'm seriously considering investing now, although I have the same issue as before in that all my pets have a certain meaning to me so whilst I wouldn't mind my Shoyru changing species, the name is attached to the fact that I made her when I graduated university. I've been thinking of setting up a second gallery on my side although I'm not sure what for... It does! I think more petpets should be drawn like that!! I'm dreading going back to work as I commute for four hours a day which really restricts the time I have at home naturally. I'm not sure I can play neopets at my desk and not get caught unfortunately! It's a tad too bright and shiny!

Now that's a daily I had overlooked completely!! I mean, I'd overlooked the wishing well until now, so I can hardly expect to win in three days odd. But for 21np a wish, I really don't mind not winning for months on end if I get one item on the top end of the spectrum eventually!! And a very good tip to go with it.

Oh, I gain the bulk of my day to day NP form the flash games so Fashion Fever is one of the first of the day. Catch the Petpet, Meerca Chase, Dubloon Disaster, Web of Vernax, Turmac Roll, Smug Bug Smite, Princess Lunara, Zurroball, Barf Boat and Top Chop are also good for quick easy points even if you're not very good at them. Then Crisis Courier, Ice Cream Machine, Jubble Bubble, Faerie Caves 2, The Usul Suspects (particularly this month), Bouncy Supreme, Mop n' Bop, Snowager, Kookia and Sutek's Tomb are a bit more long winded (particularly Sutek) but relatively easy 3000np each a day. Then I muddle along through the rest of my favourites or what's profitable this month. Warf Rescue, Space Rocked, Feed Florg, Assignment 53, Sophie's Stew are some of this month's decent ones.

I was training level - because foolishly I had got HP over the limit to then train strength... and got given four levels in one. Normally I would have been thrilled. Except this put my pet at level 81.

I recently won a Feloreena from the Story Telling Contest. My initial reaction was to stick it up for sale. I mean, who wouldn't? It's valued at 820,000np on Jellyneo and 910,000 on the ShopWizard currently. But after several days of no sell, I was tempted into looking at the petpet puddle colours. Fatal mistake. So welcome Floofball to my family. I might even be tempted to paint TeaFaeries Tyrannian to go with him, even though Oilpaint and Relic were my two favourite contenders previously. Relic might still work with the theme. Not sure why I am suddenly concerned about theme; I have never bothered with theming petpets before... but then again I have never bothered to paint one before either. I got a steal on the petpet painbrush though - I think - 170,000np.

Oh, I forgot about Bargain Stocks. I do that religiously. Have made one or two big wins on it - largely when I disappeared from the site for months and am currently running at a huge loss, but as I don't intend to move them until they go up, I'm not too fussed! I was selling way too early looking at other threads. I was selling once it hit the 20np mark from 15np, whereas general advice seems to be to wait until 60np. Hadn't considered the lottery. May add that to my daily 'to do' list. I do all the free ones automatically, I'm just careful of which pet I use to do a couple so that I don't go under/over codestone marker points or lose HP on my battle pet.

Well, I've been trying my hand at a few of the additional dailies that I usually neglect and have had limited/poor results so far, although I suppose I have only been trying for a couple of days. So far I'm losing on just about everything, although I got a Growth thing as a booby prize from the Buried Treasure that was a booby prize but is surprisingly worth several grand.So the question is, which of the pay and win dailies do you do and which actually pay out? Anyway - specifically I have tried: Wishing Well - no luck so far but at 21np per wish it can't hurt to keep trying Coconut Shy - loss of about 1500np over three days or so, so hardly catastrophic. It would help if I could actually hit the things... I used to be reasonably good at it. There was a knack somewhere about aiming at the centre of one of the 'a' letters in 'Try again'. I have memory of actually winning a coconut many moons ago so I'm willing to take the loss on that one. Pick Your Own - worthless. The berries are worth between 10np and 50np and six doesn't even cover the cost of entering. Unless anyone has a tale of a miraculous win, I think I'm calling it on this one. The dung is typically worth more and I can get that for free at the second hand shop! Buried Treasure - that growth thing worth about 5000np. If that's a booby prize, I'm willing to keep trying. Dice-a-Roo - worth it if you get to the green or better still yellow dice where it starts giving out food items, but time consuming when time can be better spent on flash games. Wheel of Excitement - won my money back once and 2500np back once, so currently a small win. Wheel of Knowledge - nothing gained so far except a virtually worthless window and some inane wisdom. Food Club - lost 7500np so far... maybe I need to read up on that one!!

Thanks! Accepted! You've been more dedicated than me. My last site trophy goes back to the Altador Cup of 2015 and it wasn't a high level trophy even at that!! I've poped in and out, usually feeling guilty about neglecting my poor pets, but it's only been since lockdown that I've really re-discovered how much I enjoy the site. There are quite a few new things to look forward to as well... I have just twigged about Charity Corner for example and have already started storing junk for next year! Possibly not the spirit in which this was intended but hey! Thanks! Accepted!!

Neoquest II doesn't reset to my knowledge - I mean, my game was untouched for the better part of three years I think and hasn't reset... I really ought to get round to completing that!!

Thanks! I have accepted. Due to lockdown I have re-discovered neopets and am quite enjoying my old haunts! But yes, nearly all my old neofriends have long since abandoned the site... hardly surprising really, as I'd have been knocking around with them a decade and a half ago!

I just went through my old neofriends deleting those who are most likely inactive (haven't been seen for a long, long, long time). I now have virtually no neofriends. And a few that I do have, I'm unsure if they're active due to stealth mode or I don't have the heart to delete - my brother's old account for example. *plays the worlds smallest violin*

Well, I've done some of them. No draik egg, lab rat, wheel of monotony, King Skarl, kadoaties, Turmy or concert... I do keep trying Skarl and Turmy mind you.

I'm mainly games for day to day winnings - depending on how much time I have I can pick up 40k to 70k on games a day (far less if I actually have to work, I admit). Add that to the money from the GhoulCatchers game which is an additional 50,000np, my bank interest and Trudy and it's not a bad immediate pick up. Particularly if the Forgotten Shore pays up as well. I then do dailies and sell off random stuff in my shop - Igloo Garage and the Second-Hand Shop is my main haunt for that in honesty, along with the mostly crud items that come from dailies. I tend to try my hand at the story telling and got a petpet worth a (small) fortune last time I won... not that I've managed to sell it yet! I have stocks but I had been selling them off too soon according to others here - I'd been waiting for them to hit 20np from 15np and taking that as a win. I'm going to sit on my shares longer and see what happens. I hadn't thought about the Food betting - just put in a couple of bets and we'll see!

Whoop whoop!! My scores have all been accepted AND I’m still first in Kreludor Caves. Hopefully nobody else grinds like hell at that game and gets approved by midnight tonight. I don’t think it’s fair that you don’t get the trophy regardless but there’s not much I can do about that! I think they just have a single cutoff point regardless of what you have scored previously. Otherwise my Crisis Courier scores wouldn’t keep on getting reviewed as it’s clear I can now hit 12,000 without any issues. That’s a relief, if a little late for my pets! I mean, it was one hell of a shock. And my pet hadn’t even been painted for all that long as I recall! It was less than a year, I think. Most aggravating. Thanks! I moved a couple of pets across from my side on realising I could have more than four now, so the lutari and shoyru need attention before I think of re-painting tdub!

Sorry, my fault for not checking my spelling. Tdub used to be painted faerie but he is also my neoquest pet. During the ridiculous amount of clicking to get around the map, he got hit by a random event turning him invisible. I now have him painted cloud and have attached wings to him in the closet until I get Neoquest gold trophy and have the wherewithal to repaint him. Admittedly faerie paint brushes are way cheaper now by almost two million, but it's still a hefty amount of points to spend... particularly when you already did it once! I have not made the mistake twice mind. My royal lupe is NEVER my active pet!! But his old paintjob is in my signature and I hadn't seen that in a looong time! I love the look of the oilpaint or the relic peophin and the maraquan lutari, so I suspect that will be my next paint job... eventually. I'm currently collecting neopoints and hopefully trophies, building up my gallery and a couple of other bits and bobs so I may take a while to get there. In terms of the scores, I have always been approved within 24 hours before so the two day wait took me by surprise. But yes, it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't get that trophy now!!!

Also keep an eye on the current issues. I got accepted twice in the past and once was because I focused on a particular issue linked to the site plot going on at the time. But if you look at what is published at any time, it tends to link to events or news if there is any - another example would be the news that Fyora was stepping down as Faerie Queen; near enough the entire Times issue was dedicated to stories about Fyora or the faeries. So if something is announced and it sparks an idea in your head, jump on it! I keep meaning to give it another shot now I'm active again, but that means getting my backside in gear and actually writing something.

I think the site has a different member base now - whilst a lot of players have fallen to the wayside, there are a significant amount of members who log in for nostalgia and the member base is probably ten to fifteen years older than it once was on average. The site still mostly works for me although it took me a long time to figure out how to enable flash, I admit. The only things that really don't work are minor aspects like the Splat a Sloth. There are definitely less people on the site - that shows in the game scores and how much easier it now is to get trophies. But there's still a significant following I think. Without an overhaul, I suspect the site will just keep on limping along. If they get rid of flash and bring it into the modern age it could have another run though easily. The basis is all there.

I have been trying to improve scores and aim for trophies recently in light of the working (or not) from home and I now have 6000NP squirrelled away in the neopian 'your scores are being reviewed by staff' bank of no return. Five are for Crisis Courier and my scores aren't even that awesome yet - about 13,200 on average up from 10,000 last month so I'm getting there slowly - and one is the Kreludan Caves of doom where grinding for two hours got me a mighty score of 110,000 which would have been enough for a gold at the time but if others have done the same, might not now. Anyway, the caves one was submitted Tuesday afternoon and the Crisis Courier yesterday and today... what do you think my chances are of actually seeing my hard earned neopoints again? (Also seeing my Faerie pet makes me sad. He got his by the invisible event whilst playing Neoquest and so about 4 million neopoints went down the drain... I knew there was a reason I stopped playing for so long...)
