Thank you very much Kaya! I think I'll have to use TP for the brush then :) 

Edit: Ok that is weird.. there is none in Trading Post o.O

If you still need it, this is the cheapest one I could find using the normal shop wiz.

Was there a game on Tuesday? Or was it just Kou-Jong?

Monday and Tuesday it was Chemistry for Beginners. Today it was Kou-Jong. The first challenge lasted a day and a half 'cause DD went live in the middle of the day and not at 00:00 NST :)

What time do they usually post the next game?

It's always at 00:00 am NST. Although today there was a one-hour delay for some reason.

I've got 215 and am about to start Stage 3. Can I get enough points on Stage 3 to get to 400? Now Stage 3 won't finish loading. Should I wait a while or give up? What causes this?

If you complete all stages on medium, you get a total of 250 base points. Stage 3 gives you 114 points, so you'd need to get at least 71 bonus points to get to 400.

I'd recommend you to start over and get at least 75 bonus points on stages 1 and 2 each so you don't have to worry about getting bonus points on stage 3 (the hardest one). That's what I did.

Also, for a lot of people the game freezes or doesn't load when they try to reset or start a new round. It's really annoying.

I kicked booty today and got a score of 1113. Kou-Jong is a game I play every day.

To me, getting more than 600 points in that game is not humanly possible. Are you a robot?

Took me two hours, but I managed to beat Chadley with a score of 431. I lost count of how many times I had to reset the last level.

Kou-Jong is the bane of my existence.

Thank you so much! I saved a few thousand neopoints

Could someone SSW Yellow Ixi Morphing Potion and Green Ixi Morphing Potion? I refreshed the (normal) shop wiz and was able to find one of them at 99k, but I'd like to know if there are any cheaper ones before buying :)

Sorry, where did you all find the list of games that are on the roster this year?  I must have missed it somewhere.

You can play around with this link to find out what the next games are gonna be. Just replace the 1 at the end with any number ranging from 2 to 20.

What a horrible lineup of games this year lol! There are like... bottom of the barrel, almost all of them are pretty unpopular in the games room. Huh.

Indeed. Many of them haven't even been featured in DD before.

EDIT:

I stayed up to see what the scores on Kou-Jong would be, but from the looks of it DD still hasn't updated. Come on Jumpstart, where's day 2

EDIT 2:

It's working now. And Chadley's score is only 400! Fyora has heard our prayers!

I made the mistake of challenging Chadley. My highest score so far is a painful 516. Last night, I played and played until I literally passed out in my desk chair. Not something I want to do again. The levels with the faerie element are a nightmare! Any tips that will save what's left of my sanity?

This guide seems to be very comprehensive. Maybe take a look and see if it helps you? :)

I thought DD awarded NC? And if it does, does it change according to the thropy tier?

It did in the past. In 2009 you could get 50-150NC, and in 2010 you could get 25-200NC. It all depended on what trophy you got. In 2011 they gave out one Blumaroo Dice Pack to everyone who participated (and two to those who got the gold trophy).

We don't really know if they'll award NC this year, but who knows? Maybe they will

Also, a suggestion to y'all: Don't give up easily. The final prize for the highest trophy tier can sometimes be worth millions! This stamp was one of the final prizes in 2013, and it's now worth 80-100M!

This guy can be truly evil sometimes. He costed me the gold back in 2013 *has Kou-jong flashbacks*.

Huh, wait a minute. Kou-jong was actually in 2011. I could've sworn it was in 2013 o.o Forget what I said (Chadley's still evil though)

I really really hope we don't see Mynci Beach Volleyball this year or I'm going to have a massive temper tantrum!

Ugh, I hate that game too. Hopefully we won't see Kreludor Escape and Kou-jong either.

As always, I'm going for gold. Someone in another topic said Chadley is harder to beat than AAA. I agree. This guy can be truly evil sometimes. He costed me the gold back in 2013 *has Kou-jong flashbacks*.

Already beat him in Chemistry for Beginners though, so that's good.

Good luck y'all!

Yup. For a few days now, if you visited Roo Island you could see some dialogue between Abigail, Lulu, and Chadley that hinted DD was coming.

DD is up now, btw.

The Order won, so remember to go claim your prizes people (unlike me who did his dailies and visited the Faerie Caverns before choosing the cartogriphication boon :P)

Don't worry, if they don't accept the item in 48 hours, it'll be sent back to you :)

If I understood correctly, you and your sister created at least 7 accounts under the same email? Huh, that's weird. As far as I know you can only create a maximum of five accounts with the same email address. If you try to create a new account, it'll tell you that you've reached the limit and you need to use a new email address. Are you 100% sure they are all under the same email?

Thanks for all of the information! @smoss1

I searched around and found some neat guides and maps. I see why you will really need it, it will take a really long time without. Probably too long. 

I think I would like the multiple characters in II, but the 'sneaking' in I makes it easier to get places if you're at a high enough level. Mayhaps could be irritating if you have to go through everything again. I am used to newer games like this, I know the moving is really slow. So that may put me off. 
Anyway, going to try. Starting with I. 

Again, thank you! 

I'm assuming you found the In-Depth Neoquest Guide (idnq)? If so I recommend you Strangefire420's guide. Out of all the guides listed there, hers is the most comprehensive and coherent one in my opinion.

I personally don't like the wings but I can't complain. They are basically giving us a free item for doing nothing

Overall I'm really happy with this year's faerie quest event. I got like 20+ strength points (which helped my pet reach his next strength boost) and I also got a FFQ

When I check and there are Kads that still need to be feed it is for an very expensive item... so I was wondering what is the normal price for a Kad food.

Here you have a list of all kad foods sorted by price :)

Hi!

 

I want to give some Neopoints to my sister. They were legitimately earned and I am giving them to her legitimately, but it's a few million and I have heard that transferring large amounts of NP can raise red flags and cause accounts to be frozen. How would you all recommend I go about this so that we don't get into trouble?

 

I'm sorry if this has been discussed in a previous post - I did a little bit of searching but wasn't sure what search terms to use!

When you're planning on giving someone else neopoints, you should always take these two editorial questions into consideration:

Hi CQ. I've sent in a ticket on this subject but thought it might be an idea to put it here too for community reference. I wish to give some neopoints to neofriends but don't know how to go about it or if it's allowed. I want to give a significant amount to one or two of my neofriends but need guidance please. Could you please provide me with some advice? Please remove my username (don't want to get a sack load of begging letters). Thank you. ~ username removed

Hi! We appreciate your generosity, but this is not allowed. Neopets is a game, and therefore we ask that all users achieve things - like earning Neopoints - on their own.

Quote

Hi CQ! Last week, a user asked if they could give their neofriends some of their NP. However, you said this was not allowed. I was always under the impression that it was absolutely fine to give items/NP away as long as it wasn't an ANNOUNCED giveaway (which would encourage begging). Is this a change in the rules? Some clarification would be awesome, thanks! ~ rayoceanweaver

I did not say you couldn't send items as gifts, that is perfectly okay! I was specifically saying we don't want people sending others all their neopoints, so users still have to work for things themselves. There was no change in rules - just apparently poor wording on my part.

It will always be risky no matter what method you use to transfer those neopoints (trading post, auctions, etc). Then again, with the state of the site, it makes me wonder how strictly Jumpstart enforces those rules.

Accepted another quest today and its from the Grey Faerie. Don't think I've ever received a request from her but anyway she needs a Warf. :)

Oh my. They are really pricy right now. Most are at 12k+. These are the cheapest I could find:

I checked the neoboards and apparently most people are joining the order, so I'm siding with the wizards this time around. Besides, their last win was 12 rounds ago. It's about time they won.
