Sciurus carolinensis

I've been saving up for a meowclops for over a month. I wanted to keep the petpet as well as get the avatar, so the ALP wasn't an option. Yesterday, I spotted one while browsing the auctions that was just a tiny bit more than I had. Thankfully it was still available once I sold a nerkmid and played a bit of Ghoul Catchers. I was so excited that i was refreshing the auction page over and over, but finally it was in my inventory. I attached it for the avatar, then immediately unattached it and went to the cooking pot because at some point I had decided that what I really wanted was a slorgclops. Eventually it will be painted rainbow, but it will be a few weeks before I can afford to do that.

Everyone, meet Mayhem_5_5_5's new squishy one-eyed friend. Name changes may occur.!

Finally got the number six avatar! Now to continue saving for my meowclops. Almost there!

According to current market trends, this asparagus should cost 5,023,641 NP per kilogram.
 

Edit- 1/5/2020 this is a good month so far. Got the Meowclops avatar yesterday. Also yesterday, I obtained a score of 3360 in Korbat's Lab which meant I woke up to the Freaked Korbat avatar. Yay me!

Edit 3/2/2020 Got the Babaa - Math's Nightmare avatar with a score of 5760 last night. Beat my previous high score from who knows how long ago by 60 points. I picked the division setting on potato counter mode because it's the highest scoring setting that I don't have to think on. The only limit is clicking and typing speed. Hopefully someone else gets a new avatar soon so I can post a new post next time. 

Just Got the Evil Coconut avatar plus this coconut. My first time getting anything good from Coconut Shy. 

I'd been hoping for more food for my gallery. Only two items so far, on the 8th and the 12th. Neither are very appetizing, but they are not classified as "gross" so they went in.

My lab pet was zapped from a spotted jubjub to a red skeith. After modeling today's stocking stufftacular gift forJellyNeo, I bought a morphing potion. Now she's a blue jubjub and cute once again. 

Turmy just woke up. He wasn't hungry unfortunately. Maybe he will be for someone else.

You have awoken the great Turmaculus...
and he has decided to give you 350 neopoints!!!

I got a negg yesterday, so it's sometimes worth it. At least I think that was the source of the negg I sold yesterday. I can't remember for sure.

Does it change gender often or? 

 

I'm not sure of the odds. I'll do some testing now. He has six equipped items, one of which has that effect. Two can be used at once, and I don't know if it's random or not for the first turn. If so, wouldn't the odds be 1 out of 3? I have had him change my pet's gender twice in one battle before though. That was irritating.

edit- I lost 16 times against him. Forgot to record one battle though, and I should have counted turns as well as overall results, but I'd rather not waste more healing potions. So out of 15 recorded battles my pet changed gender overall 8 times. One of those had three gender changes in one battle. 7 battles resulted in no change, but one of those had the strange potion used twice (which cancels out the change). See why I should have counted turns?

I'm aware of that but I don't do BD. My pets are not equipped... 

I'd rather ask someone else to have my pet for a while and change it for me (I think that's allowed, right?) 

My lab pets are never equipped, but I can still fight with them. There's a fist option for weaponless pets. They don't have to win, they just have to have the right weapon used on them. Might take several losses, but just use the cheapest healing potion and repeat. Only one health point is needed minimum to enter a fight.

The time tables that were linked to on this very very old thread are no longer accessible due to the demise of TinyPic. I quickly created one on Excel, and in case other people want to use it I'm sharing a blank copy. Not sure if the formatting will make sense to anyone else, but I'm just marking the document using the fill option. Hours (in 24 hour time) are along the top. One minute increments count down vertically from each hour. Please let me know if this works.

Almost set the price for two vux codestones to 2800 instead of 28,000 neopoints. Caught myself before I typed my pin in thankfully. That would have been incredibly frustrating to see in my sales history, especially since I'm saving to buy my own meowclops and every little bit helps.

It's not letting me change mine either. And I actually do want mosaic. I presume its a bug that it doesn't work for everyone, and if so I hope they take care of it.

Anyone else struggle as much as I did with getting that Santa Hat? The video went by so fast I just kept having to clickclickclickclick away over and over before it'd "hit" it 

I had the same problem. It took a lot longer than I'd have liked.

You were a bit unlucky with only 5 r90s but even so, yes, you swap one r80 toy for so much more! I open a few at a time or it gets tedious but there's a trick to it, hard to describe; in the little pop up box, try rapid clicking on 'submit' and f5in a sort of rhythm .

I alternate between f5 and enter, no clicking needed. Does that work for you? Not sure if it depends on your browser.

I just went from 24 CC points (12 Pawkeet Pinatas) to a total of 88 points. Got 6 items in the 90s. So buying them every once in a while is a good strategy. Not too often though, otherwise the price inflates.

Are you aware that the older omelettes, apart from the plain and rotten ones, are worth 4-points for CC?

I'd been careful to keep those ones, as I thought they decreased in value after part is eaten. Looks like I need to do some more research as there's more to it.. Thank you! I had been keeping to the newer 1 point omelettes, but still.

Obsessive hoarder here! Ever since the year that I sold most of my SDB just before the Charity Corner was announced, I've been saving just about everything. As a result, I had over 18,000 points to spend during the most recent event. Every so often I sell a few items if I need the neopoints, and can justify that because I buy sticky snowballs every chance I get like others have said. But I don't like to. I even go so far as to limit feeding my pets to mostly rarity 101 items. When the events are coming up, I only feed multi use foods like omelettes and jelly, and save one portion each time. I do have a few items, like codestones and nerkmids, that I sell as soon as I get them (now that I'm done training my battle pet, that is). But the rest of it stays.

My kacheek Tail_of_Pachirisu contracted Achy Head without me noticing. I could have waited for the healing springs to work, but I'm impatient. 

Magic Goop (the guaranteed cure), cost more than I wanted to spend.

Black Cherry Tea, on the other hand, was going for about 10 NP on the SSW.

After the first few didn't work, I decided that I would keep buying and using it until I cured my neopet or it got too expensive. It took 29 doses of Black Cherry Tea before the achy head was gone. I wonder if the chances of success are known for the potential cures. Maybe I'll test it again. 

Yes, she is still dressed for Halloween.

Hooray!

edit- forgot to paste what I actually said. Oops.

Ahh, brilliant! It's good to know there are intelligent Neopians out there.
I give you an A+! (795 out of 1000)
You must take this gift from me.

I got the avatar a long time ago. I just spin the wheel for fun now.

You know how the Wheel of misfortune has the possibility of causing your active pet to forget a book? If you land on that space and one of the Hidden Tower Grimoires are forgotten, do you lose the corresponding avatar you got for reading that book? I only spin it with a pet that has never read a book, just in case. 

I have a Christmas Schnelly for sale. The lowest price on the SSW is about 240,000 np, but there's no point in trying to sell it for that much because the price for buying a regular Schnelly (~80,000) plus a Christmas petpet Paint brush (~20,000) is less than half that. I'm offering her for 90,000 or a speckled negg to anyone on here who's interested. She's a very sweet cat, not at all spooky despite being classified as such.

One good thing about having to work an overnight due to unfortunate snow timing:

Due to my sleep cycle being messed up, I've been awake at the right time enough times to get that avatar and then find out you can lose it  But thankfully I got it back later.

I am very pleased to say that I got the Draik - Escape from Meridell Castle last night. I can't seem to get past level 3 no matter how hard I try, so I've been trying to get on the high score table on the first of the last few months. Each month I've been bumped off, but I made it with a score of 250 at last.

December 2, 2019... and she changes gender!!!!

December 2, 2019    ... and he gains 3 movement points!!!!

Time to fight the lab ray scientist again for a gender change for Cute_Pyukumuku.

My jubjub, Cute_Pyukumuku, is going to be a lab rat until I either get a color I like or I get a fountain faerie quest and can paint her woodland. Whichever comes first. Here's a screenshot of today's results. I used a lab ray cookie, that's why there's 2. Wish me luck!

Did it too!!!

Congrats to both of us then :) What avatar will you try for next? I'm saving up for a meowclops. I want one to keep, as I think a ghost painted one would be perfect for one of my pets. In the meantime, I've got a placeholder petpet that I've been waking the turmaculus with. So I'm going for two avatars at once, and feeling slightly guilty at the same time.
