I got this one from the shy today.

I've noticed they are pretty laggy, but: has anyone else found Kass Basher to be way easier now or just me? I'm consistently getting scores of 1300+ with the bat when my average was usually 800-900. Annoyingly, though, Kass Basher won't remember your previous scores if you close the game's tab and reopen it, so you have to re-unlock the stick and club every time you open the game again.
Seems they also increased the amount of NP earned per sent score:

🤯 I wish I had that many stockpiled! I'm at two reds atm and I just cancel/restart my course until I get the right ones from my daily battles. I'm noticing a consistent skew in the ones the school asks for vs. the ones I frequently get from the bd:

Hopefully tonight once I can try training again it'll ask me for ones I actually have.

Yikes, is that why Vux/Zed spiked from like 20k to 40k+? That's just selfish. It doesn't particularly affect me as I just wait until I get the ones I need from battling, but I feel for everyone who actually has to buy their stones.
I typically battle the S750 Kreludan Defender Robot - he's easy enough to one-shot with Lens Flare, even with a low-level battle pet, and provides Neocola tokens in addition to tan/red codestones. Not sure how his payout compares to others like the Koi warrior etc., but I've had decent, steady rewards from him.

Ouch. I've been there - it's rough.
Past a certain point I'd honestly just try to powerlevel to 250 and train at the Secret Ninja training school. Even though you'd be paying in reds, the cost of one red would generally be less than the cost of 7-8 codestones.
Edit: Maybe not if it's asking for Vux or Zed. YMMV.

I woke up this morning to find that I'd won Ombre Fyora Wig from the Wishing Well last night. I immediately put it on my white Kacheek. Might sell it later, but for now it stays on my account. It matches the Haunted Mansion item from today, (Stunning Skeletal Garland). Here's a picture.

Toy Grarrl kinda looks funny. It's a bit shiny and polished for a plastic toy, I honestly thought it was marble at first.
The admiral outfit is nicely done. I like the little details of the stopwatch and the rudder belt buckle.

I spent 'em! I got:

and I'm really happy with the result.

I got 350 NC from CC this year. It's a nice bonus for sure; I may just spend it on FQ cookies as I never really have interest in customizing. 

These are both pretty solid. Some aspects of Stealthy look kinda weird (like the facecloth not totally covering its lower face, or the texture on the shoes) but it's a good design overall.
The outfit is super rad; I honestly thought it was a new Royal paint colour cus of how high quality it is.

It's a shame it'd be so complex, as getting an avatar or a trophy would definitely make (at least some!) people far less salty about the item loss
His ego will NEVER recover from this, I'm sure! Nothing quite like your evil villain behaviour going entirely unnoticed for taking the wind out of your sails.

wow, that's a... uh... look, alright
it probably could have been good, maybe? i think the artist just added too much stuff in there. it's like the kind of monster i would have designed when i was like, 9 and had no self-control. there's just... so much going on and nothing really meshes very well. plus the colours don't contrast very well
but man oh man, seeing those fanarts that @Secre linked... like i would have happily dropped my entire bank on either of them!!
edit: so i figured out part of the reason that this one looks so bad, there's like no variation in value between the green and the purple, and only a little between them and the pink
i put it next to some other mutant colours, the draik is probably the weakest here and its still better than the vandy

 

We waited nearly a month for THIS?
I don't even understand what's going on with the design. It isn't coherent whatsoever and just looks like they slapped several random weird attributes on there; it's not even drawn very well and just looks really awkward and stiff. Highly disappointed with this one.

Maybe they should re-do the "I Taunt the Pant Devil" avatar requirements. He's no threat compared to Kiko Lake.

The water is way too glossy in my opinion. It doesn't even look like it's water if it wasn't for the tail and ear dripping.
The armor looks decent, it might go well on some other colors. Not really feeling it on any of the basic colors though.

It's been posted already, and I know I'm probably biased as I have this one (and I'm a cat fanatic), but I like the Kadoatery trophy.

The Avatar Collector trophy looks really nice too; I like the simplicity of it along with the golden outline.

Too bad it's nigh unobtainable if you:
- don't have an ancient account that participated in old events often enough to have the avatars from them
- aren't extremely good at games which award avatars
- haven't got the resources/NP to do certain things like Battledome (allowing you to participate in plots with battling) and purchase extremely expensive items that would also award avatars, etc.

😵 Ouch, that is unfortunate. It's especially worse when you've only just taken it out of your SDB to sell on the TP/Auction house, etc. That's always my worst nightmare when I'm moving something from my SDB, though it hasn't happened to me yet.
I agree with what others have said on removing these sorts of REs that can take away tens or hundreds of millions of NP if you're unlucky like this; they did remove REs such as Boochi for a similar reason iirc, as one unlucky RE while your pet was active could instantly remove a multimillion dollar paint job.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't Boochi and similar REs affect exclusive and nigh-unobtainable colours such as Robot or Ice?)

Some poor soul on Reddit has just lost a 30 million neopoint item to the Kiko Lake Bandits...

Disclaimer: Not me!

It's not unusual. It happens and it's not a glitch either:

So be careful what pet to pick when playing Count von Roo if you don't want to lose your avatar again!

Looks like the luck's spreading to all of us here.

I found my Magma Pool time again! 😭 And it's more convenient than the last one was.

This was a nice surprise from the Wheel of Knowledge today.
