That commercial just made my day! Thanks @jellysundae

I believe Lutari's are inspired by beavers or otters and are very much aquatic in real life. ^ beaver v otter

OH, the real live version is totally adorable too! If I ever get a "fish tank" I'm getting one of those XD! I love this artwork! Lutari lovers are having a great day!

The current batch has aloe vera in it instead of limonell. I'm not sure if they'll be sensible enough to just leave out fragrance. At least aloe vera is good for the skin too. Being allergic to rapeseed must be horrible! Luckily I'm only allergic to spring trees like birch. Once it gets to July my allergies are way milder or even completely gone. Worst time for me is (depending on the weather) March/April to mid June. @ those pictures though! That is hilarious!

Sure, that's why I said if I would start coughing I'd stay at home. But at the moment, except for the headache which is really local above my right eye, all the symptoms go away when I take my anti histamine or when I'm in the shower. Even in the car, with filtered air, there aren't any symptoms. I'm taking more anti histamine pills now than I normally do just to make sure I'm not mixing it up with COVID symptoms while at the same time I'm trying not to go overkill in anti histamine so my body can still react when there is a problem, since anti histamine basically shuts down your immune system telling your body everything is fine. I really am trying to be as careful as I can be, not just dismissing it. I keep "checking" myself. If at one point the anti histamine wouldn't open up my nose I would go straight home or stay at home! I'm not taking any risk or being one of those ppl that say "it's just a flu". I have hay fever since I was about 16 or so (always thought it was a cold until I got tested a few years ago). Anti histamine sure has been my spring friend since about 8 years ago or so

Looks like someone from TDN got his wish again!

LOL @Mouseykins You would think if he enjoyed it that much he'd come running back for more. Not run away from it! I went to work as usual but because of my hay fever my nose is really annoying and giving me sinus headaches. I suspected some of the products we use at work to keep everything save made my headache worse because of the scent they added to it (They make it themselves with alcohol, wax and a scent, to disinfect your hands). So last Friday I went to my manager asking who made it and explained my situation/suspicion. We now have a different scent in them so at least they listen. I'll have to wait until the old one is all used up and then see if my suspicion was right or not. I still think they shouldn't add any scents if that's all they do, some ppl (we have a big company so they don't know everyone) might be allergic to artificial scents. I even have friends that are allergic to them. Anyway, today my manager asked me how my head felt and I told him I bought a nasal spray this weekend and that seems to free up my nose and helps a little with the headache. I've only used it since Saturday afternoon so it needs some time before my sinuses are opened up since it's just salty water (I get a nose bleed from most other kinds, so not much options for me). So he tells me if it gives me a runny nose I should stay at home. On one hand I wouldn't mind staying at home just for the allergies, having some extra days at home would be nice, but on the other hand I just know he'll take away free days or demand to work overtime later in the year without being payed to compensate. He won't say they'd do that but I know how this company operates. I told him last week I have a lot of free days left (we get 20 days a year and if you didn't spend them all you get to take most of them to the next year). I wanted to have them paid out but that's not an option right now because work is a lot less right now due to the pandemic. I don't want to use them just to sit at home not being able to do anything I like anyway. So now I'll have to hide from my manager for a few minutes after using the spray I guess. If I'd feel sick in any other way or would start coughing I'd stay home right away, he wouldn't have to tell me. I wouldn't want to risk infecting people, but when I know it's just my hay fever I'm not planning to stay at home in exchange for my saved up free days. I live alone and the only people I see are the ones at work

I spotted a Cheetah! Cheetah's are my number 1 as well, it's not like I picked the nickname Duma for no reason (Unless dragons count, if they do they're sharing the first spot as I wouldn't know who to place first ), and number 2 goes to jaguars. But I love all felines. And I like animals in general, I'll even save the worms when working in the yard.

All the kitties! So much adorableness

Welcome back, depending on how long you've been gone, there might be a lot of new stuff to enjoy too!

That just reminded me of a show and I can't quite place it atm. "Me! Me! Pick me!"

*Lurks in the shadows awaiting a good moment to reset the count* Oh, snap, I posted without realizing it didn't I? I need to be more patient

Welcome to the forums! I'm glad you found the courage to make an account and post! I too hope this pandemic will be under control soon enough. I just want things to go back to, at least semi, normal. I want my routines back, just like most people I suppose. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy neopets and this forum and will feel a little less trapped.

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!

Yeah, even though I love the cheetah avatar I wanted to change it to the avatar I've been using everywhere. Funny enough I've never played Guild Wars (I should, I really think I would like it, I even have the DVD for Campaign one with the female necromancer on the front, found it at a garage sale) but ever since I found the picture, years before I had the dvd, of the female necromancer i've been adoring it. I was just googling for pictures I liked when I came across it. Didn't even know the game Guild Wars until then.

You have a pretty good and strong team already! Nice! I still have a lot of leveling to do. My current team is Ryuu, Earth element Draik as Leader (51/75), Nuria, Fire element 13/40 (Damage All), Nabile, Water element 14/40 (Like in your team, my healer with Heal All), and Thogrin, Electric element (Damage All) 15/40. My second leader is a level 34/40 earth element Ixi (Heal All) Although I'm regretting buying it. I also have Hannah, electric element 15/15 (Target enemy damage) I really am leveling too many at a time, I already have 2 fire cards up to 3 out of 4 stars to ascend Nuria once she's max leveled and two earth cards 3 out of 4 stars to upgrade my Ixi. I think I better start focusing on maxing out my current main team and maybe go one at a time so I don't lose track of what I'm doing lol. I might decide to buy some legendary tokens to replace Nabile and Thogrin with 5 star cards. Unfortunately there's no healer in them so Nabile will probably have to stay anyway. Hmz. Changed my mind. I'll buy them once I'm creating my single element teams since there's no healer and only two Damage All cards (One of which is Nuria, already in my possession). Target Enemy damage cards are better against the monster anyway since there is only one enemy. I don't bother with keeping a maxed common hero, I'll pick which ever is in my deck. There's always a common one, and if not just by playing an easy level I'll have one soon enough. I'll make sure the common hero stays with the same element type in my team and place it as the last card in my party, so furthest on the right when forming your party. My other characters are strong enough to make up for it, the enemies will attack your party from left to right (they will attack the element weakest to their element first but if there's two characters of the same element, the one on the left is picked on first, hence placing the low level one on the right). That way your common hero will only be picked on when your strong one is defeated. Plus you can always play the easy levels. For the self healing challenges I probably should keep one in my deck so I wouldn't have to rely on the helpers (That's what I do now). If there's no self-heal helper I'll just either check again later or refresh the challenge and hope for something better. This depends on the situation. If you already know what element your enemies will be, like with the Monster but also the already played levels, you could form a team that is strong against them. That is mainly why I will build a full team in each element, to battle the monster. A team of only water against the fire monster, a team of only electric against the water monster etc. It will take a lot of time to form 4 strong teams and I already messed up buying my second leader (I hadn't really though of a strategy yet at the time and made a second earth leader) For the normal levels it's harder as you will always have multiple elements. But still, if you know 3 out of 6 enemies are earth and 3 are water, you could adjust your team to have 2 electric characters, 2 fire characters and pick a fire or electric helper from friends or other players (Or if you still need a healer, pick a healer helper). That does mean you'll need to have some decent characters for each element and a lot of switching the team around though. If your team is strong enough already that even your water elements can defeat the electric enemies it doesn't matter one bit for the levels and switching around might even be troublesome, it only matters to get higher up in the Monster Leader Board. If the levels are new/unknown I would go with a team with one of each element too, just to make sure I can handle it no matter what I encounter.

You're welcome. I've pinned it now. I've mainly been doing the levels, not really the Monster Battles. If I did monster battles I usually reach silver 1 or 2. Not because I get defeated but because of forgetting to battle or no time to play or being bored playing because of the data collecting. I'm still maxing out my current team of 4 star cards but eventually I want to make 4 single element teams and start battling the Claymakers Monsters to get as high in the tier as I can. It's annoying you didn't get your rewards though!

Hi and welcome to TDN's Forums, also welcome back to Neopets! Ooof, NQI and II on insane, that's some serious grinding to do. Good luck with the insanity

In case anyone still likes to play LnL or just want to do the (Crossover) Challenges I made a list that could help you pick what level to play to quickly complete them. Land Level Waves Earth Fire Water Electric Total Boss level Krawk Island 1 2 2 1 3 Krawk Island 2 2 3 2 5 Krawk Island 3 2 1 2 1 4 Krawk Island 4 3 1 2 3 6 Krawk Island 5 2 2 4 6 Krawk Island 6 2 1 4 1 6 Krawk Island 7 2 1 3 1 5 Krawk Island 8 2 1 4 1 6 Krawk Island 9 2 2 3 1 6 Krawk Island 10 3 2 5 7 Yes Krawk Island 11 3 3 3 6 Yes Krawk Island 12 3 2 5 1 8 Krawk Island 13 3 2 5 7 Krawk Island 14 3 1 2 3 6 Krawk Island 15 3 1 6 7 Krawk Island 16 3 1 4 3 8 Yes Krawk Island 17 3 4 5 9 Krawk Island 18 2 2 2 1 5 Yes Krawk Island 19 2 1 1 3 5 Yes Krawk Island 20 2 2 4 6 Yes Land Level Waves Earth Fire Water Electric Total Boss level Maraqua 1 3 3 3 6 Maraqua 2 2 2 1 2 5 Yes Maraqua 3 2 1 5 6 Maraqua 4 3 1 5 6 Maraqua 5 2 3 2 5 Maraqua 6 2 2 3 1 6 Maraqua 7 2 1 4 1 6 Maraqua 8 2 5 2 7 Maraqua 9 2 4 2 6 Maraqua 10 3 4 2 1 7 Yes Maraqua 11 3 1 2 3 6 Maraqua 12 3 2 2 3 1 8 Maraqua 13 3 2 5 7 Maraqua 14 2 4 4 Maraqua 15 3 2 7 9 Maraqua 16 3 2 2 4 1 9 Maraqua 17 5 3 6 9 Maraqua 18 2 2 2 1 5 Yes Maraqua 19 2 2 1 3 6 Maraqua 20 1 3 1 4 Land Level Waves Earth Fire Water Electric Total Boss level Lost Desert 1 2 3 3 6 Lost Desert 2 2 1 5 6 Yes Lost Desert 3 2 1 2 3 6 Lost Desert 4 3 3 4 7 Lost Desert 5 2 3 1 2 6 Lost Desert 6 2 2 5 7 Lost Desert 7 2 4 3 7 Lost Desert 8 2 3 2 2 7 Lost Desert 9 3 2 1 2 3 8 Lost Desert 10 3 1 2 3 2 8 Lost Desert 11 3 1 2 2 3 8 Yes Lost Desert 12 3 3 2 2 2 9 Yes Lost Desert 13 3 2 3 2 7 Lost Desert 14 2 2 4 2 8 Lost Desert 15 3 3 2 2 3 10 Yes Lost Desert 16 3 1 3 6 10 Lost Desert 17 3 2 2 5 9 Lost Desert 18 2 4 1 3 8 Yes Lost Desert 19 2 1 5 2 8 Yes Lost Desert 20 2 1 5 1 7 Yes So, the red highlighted numbers are the highest (obviously or maybe not). For example, your challenge is to defeat 35 water element foes. In this case, Maraqua level 15 would be best suited as you have 7 water elements in that level. You could just replay the level 5 times to finish the challenge. In case they ask to defeat 25 foes in a row, best levels to play would be either Lost Desert level 15 or 16. For the "In a row" part, it means you can't switch lands or go back to the level list. Just hit replay or next after opening your reward chests. If they ask to heal/deal damage with the special abilities, it would be easiest to play a level with the most waves. That way, even if you're defeating all the foes in a wave before your special abilities counter hits zero, you can still get to zero and activate the abilities since going to the next wave counts as a turn. So for this challenge best would be to play Maraqua level 17. If they ask to defeat a boss x times, you can play the levels where it says Yes in the Boss column. I hope it makes sense! I've also been collecting data for the rewards, it's been a bit ignored last few weeks but I'll continue eventually. The plan is to play about 5 levels in each land on each difficulty about a 100 times and record what I get from the chests. So, a bit explaining here: - On top you'll see the land. - On the right you'll see which level I've been playing (only levels 1 and 20 atm) and what difficulty. - Games means the amount of times I've played the level (or rather recorded what the chests gave me) - Coins and Gems is the total amount of coins and gems respectively that I've gotten in that level at that difficulty. - The * stars mean, what kind of cards I had gotten. So a card that could be ascended to 3 stars would get *** 3 stars, even if it's only at 1 star level 1 when I got it. It's the max it could be, not what it was when received. This info was useful to me to see what levels to play to get the cards needed to upgrade my team. I didn't record what element I had gotten but you can see that in the reward list "Rare Loot" for each level. This table will just tell you how likely it is to get a higher starred card. I'll update the screenshot when I have time to collect data again. May 4th: Updated. Also, I'm making a list with all the challenges I've gotten last 2 weeks and the level I believe is best to play. I've been playing them (autoplay when possible) on easy since I can defeat them faster that way and finish the challenge as quickly as possible. Some levels are fastest on medium or hard though, in those cases I've added a difficulty. If your team isn't too powerful yet, time it for yourself to see what difficulty is fastest: If you would like any of the files (not as a picture to quickly search in the list) let me know in a PM. I don't mind sharing. I'll continue to work on it whenever I have time. Pasting as a picture here is just a lot easier when I'm editing the topic. Last update: May 9th.

I didn't even notice they weren't being rewarded. I had the avatar in October when it was released. I just checked and my trophy count is still on 5. That means I haven't received the trophy for March or April either. Maybe it's bugged and they don't know. You could try sending a ticket/e-mail/facebook post to TNT. Maybe it might help putting it on the help boards too? For me it doesn't really matter since all it will do for me is up the number in front of the trophies.

I picked the Round Round Round boon since I'm still trying to get the avatar from the wheel of excitement.

I don't think page 404 can't be found

Hi and welcome to the forums. Happy Easter to you too!

I've been trying to get some luck from the well as well but so far I'm not getting anything I did check the rarity when I checked what I could ask for to make sure the well can hand it out. I just hope I didn't make a mistake... I'm starting to doubt myself. Then again, I'm only wishing once a day (well, 7 wishes but just at one moment of the day) Edit: I checked the page that was posted above and the item I'm asking for is in it so that should be fine. Guess I'll just have to be more patient or more lucky.

Must have been a bug. From the FAQ page of the Festival of Neggs: So it will last for 2 weeks.
