Looks like the Faerie Quest event might not start as soon as it was hinted. Bummer.

Great idea! Has a start date been announced yet?

Not yet. But some people on the boards pointed out that there are new Crafting Faerie quest items on the NC Mall, so it should start pretty soon :)

Joined Sway. That quest refresh boon is gonna come in handy once the faerie quest event starts!

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy checking out other people's galleries to see what their interests are on neo or what unique themes they can come up with (like law, alliteration, or items whose names are 40 characters or more in length).

I personally got a pet gallery dedicated to Ixi right here. It's missing a few items that I'm probably never gonna get, but I'm still proud of it

So... what do you guys like to collect? Show off your galleries here!

Got all 8. Now I just want this event to end already. I guess all we're missing is the reveal of the bad guy.

Oh I believe I have a real problem. I started playing game 4 and I got a score of 24?? and when I reset to play again it went to game 5 6 7 8 . I can't get back to game 4. Anyone? I want to get the score and win!

Click anywhere on the game, hold, and drag from left to right.

Alternatively: see those two little circles right at the bottom of the game? Click the first one. That should take you back to the first four levels.

Thanks. Withdrawing will count as a loss, won`t it?

Yup, it will. But the good news is your win/loss count doesn't really have an impact on... well, anything

It is a known (and annoying) glitch. Try withdrawing from battle and challenge your opponent once again. That should bring your weapons back :)

Ok, dumbo me needs things explaining

Can someone explain this question for me.

What?

Who's hit points? I mean, the harder opponents DO have higher HP, so I'm entirely confused by this question. Obviously I'm just not comprehending this, halp.

I think they worded that question very poorly. You see, people in the Battledome chat have been asking TNT/JS for years to add a 4th difficulty to the battledome, a difficulty that increases your opponent's HP every time you beat them. This is how the Battledome worked in the past, but this HP increase system was replaced when the battledome was revamped, and now we just have three "static" difficulties.

Just to clarify: battlers don't want to replace the new system with the old one, they want to have them both, as in, they want the HP increase system to be optional.

The problem is that JS doesn't really explain this in the survey... and what's worrying players the most is that maybe the staff will get rid of the new difficulty system when no one actually wants that.

I just hope they bring Defenders of Neopia back asap. I've been stuck on mission 10 for years now and I wanna update my trophy

Also, all I can think of when I look at that banner:

Day 3 : also you can restart as many times as you want and it just restarts the level you're on and you keep your previous points 

Now I feel dumb for starting the game all over again so many times Thanks for the tip!

When did you first hear of neopets? What made you try it? 

Back when Neopets was at its peak everyone at my school started playing it. I wanted to play so bad (after all the concept of owning a "virtual pet" was fascinating to me) but my family didn't own a computer at the time, so all I could do was hear everyone gushing over the site. The Neopets craze died down pretty quickly, however.

Fast forward 3 years, I'm at an Internet café  when I suddenly remember this pet site everyone used to talk about. I find it, but I don't understand how the heck I'm supposed to play (partially because I was technologically illiterate back then :P) so I just forget about it for a while. I believe that was in 2008 'cause I remember seeing a marquee with King Roothless in it.

 A year later I decide to give it another try and what do you know, I succesfully create my first account.

What kept you playing? 

The worldbuilding and the immense variety of things the site had to offer. There was always something to do and there were tons of updates that kept me hooked. Now I just play out of habit. Nostalgia is another big factor too.

What fascinates you the most about it?

That it's still alive. That's no small feat, although it's all thanks to the loyal userbase and not because of JS/TNT.

I also love the old artwork. I'm a sucker for artwork.

What annoys you about it? 

The lack of new original artwork.

How many times were you on hiatus and why did you come back? 

I think just once. My account had a fake birthday and one day when I was trying to log in I was asked for it but I couldn't remember it, so I just stopped playing for a few months. I didn't mind at first since I was bored with the lack of updates, but eventually I sent a ticket and got my account back.

Got a FFQ today:

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
 

You may come visit me at my Rainbow Fountain any time! I'll be happy to reward you with a brand new colour!

I hope we are finally done with those concoctions. After I completed the latest step I sold most of my ingredients to get some quick cash. They sell like hot cakes!

Can I ask, did anyone uh, err, um, how do I say this, um,  unthinkingly, give the skeith potion IX instead of all VIII? I mean, unless there is some benefit for giving both, why would anyone waste extra items? You could use 2 wraith blood, 1 fang OR 2 wraith blood, 1 fang, and 1 claw.  Why in the world would we give him potions that require MORE ingredients than necessary?  I didn't give any potion IX.  Did anyone else? and if so, why? What was your thinking or strategy for doing so?   

Some people think the achievement "One of Every Kind" will be unlocked if you used at least one of each potion during the infirmary step. Of course, this is just a theory, but it's a pretty sensible one if you ask me. We'll know if it's true once we get to use Concoction X on the next patient.

Sorry if I sound rude, but why would you keep these dogs under the same roof if it's quite likely that one could kill the other? After those two "death matches", as you call them, took place, did you at least consider to separate them permanently? I know it must be hard for you and your dogs, but if you really love them, I'm sure you wouldn't want one of them to, you know, die. If they fought like that three times already, it will happen again.

Once again, sorry if I sounded rude. Hope your hand gets better asap.

Need help with a Mega Sweet Lemon Smoothie  for a soup faerie quest!

Thanks in advance!

Here you go!:

Cheapest I could find :)

To whoever sent me a Spring Tulip Bouquet: thank you! I forgot to look at your username :( I believe it started with "bur", but that's all I remember. If you see this and you have a wishlist, shoot me a message!

I'm pretty sure JS didn't mean for this to happen. Since the plot was originally going to end on the 10th, they probably programmed it so that the wraiths would automatically disappear today. Of course, after all the delays the end date was pushed back, but they probably forgot to make the wraiths stay there

EDIT: Welp, looks like they are back

Also, in case anyone's interested, someone on the neoboards found a couple of unreleased prizes:

Sword of Malum (possibly the name of the bad guy)

Malum's Cloak (NC item)

 

Hmm, I don't think I've got a dream pet. I mean, there are definitely lots of colours I like, but I feel like most of them limit the possibilities for customization (or maybe I'm just terrible at dressing up my pets). Besides, I'm happy with my two pets already, so maybe I won't participate this year

I may or may not be the happiest person on Earth right now (ok I'm exaggerating, but let me be ):

I'd been trying to add these three tokens to my gallery for years, but since I don't buy NC and people don't usually trade tokens, I thought I'd never get my hands on them. Turns out I was wrong, and I'm so glad I was! I traded my Wish on a Star Background for these tree beauties plus a SS 25-pack! I'm jumping for joy right now!!!

I didn't realize there was any doubt there would be one at all. I knew there was going to be one, or that's what I though.  I already saw prices going up for things, was there some type of editorial hinting toward not doing one?

Funny you mention it, 'cause the latest Editorial confirms the event will take place in "the near future" :

Hi Scrappy! I hope you had a nice & restful thanksgiving holiday ^^ I was just wondering if there are any plans for another charity corner? I've been really enjoying all of the recent updates to games and was just curious if this is another NC event we can expect to see revived. I have lots accumulating that I'd love to donate
Yes! you can definitely expect another Charity Corner in the near future!! We love them as well, donating and giving back is so important :)

I'm pretty sure they had already said there'd be one, though.

 I don't remember any random events lowering my pet's level

The thing is, it was most likely a random event that you missed. It happens a lot, actually: you're playing Neopets as usual and then, all of a sudden, you find yourself with a new item in your inventory, or less neopoints, or a pet with decreased stats, all due to a random event that for some reason or other you couldn't catch a glimpse of. Maybe you were refreshing pages too fast or maybe you scrolled down too quickly before the page finished loading.

Judging by your post, you might've gotten this RE:

PET NAME loses X STAT and says: It's been so long since I trained I feel a bit slow/weak. Can I do some STAT training?

Effect: Your active pet loses between 1 and 2 maximum STAT points (Health, Level, Strength, Defence or Movement).

Yeah, it's a bummer :(
