  1. Hi! First and foremost, welcome to Neopets!

    Second, basically what everyone said above. Dailies are very useful (even if just collecting junk - you might want to discard them if you're interested in the Rubbish Avatar, or just hang on to them for Charity Corner, especially the cheap ones with high rarity)

    As you become more familiar with restocking, you'll develop a list of items that sell well. Current examples include Ptolymelon (no idea why but always managed to sell them all within one day), Toy Sailboat, and Snorkle Snout. Chocolate Factory was easy and profitable when I started playing, but not anymore (likely because too many people restock there). Prices can also be seasonal - see price history of Gourmet Cooking For Your Pet.

    You can see when the last price update was on Jellyneo, but generally, shops at Neopia Central update more often, while non-food, non-collectable, non-book items might not be updated for over a month or longer, so you might want to check with Shop Wizard.

    For some reason, items priced at 2,500 NP (in certain shops) usually don't give you a profit. A lot of r90s are priced at 5,000 NP, but if you can still see them at the shop after refreshing a few times, chances are they will give you a loss. Some 2,500 NP items are worth buying, and it's possible to buy them at 2,000 NP, but too much time spent haggling means someone else will beat you to it.

    The employment agency is also a good place to earn some quick bucks (pick the ones with large profit and long time, and finish each task asap). You can also pay attention to which items are being asked for often, and those will likely be easy to sell at your shop.

    Hope that helps!

    p.s. I still haven't unlocked the Koi Warrior - can you believe it?

    Tried for a while tonight and actually managed another game avatar, which is rare for me, and I actually quite enjoyed the game. :D (Right now I'm on track for a bronze trophy as well, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I actually got it.)

    Saw this and decided to try for myself! Happy to report that I got the avatar, and might even get the Bronze trophy as long as less than 5 people beat my score ? 

    Edit: 2nd avatar for today! I'm so glad I won't have to ever play this again - tedious level on par with Dubloon Disaster or AAA's Revenge

  3. @Musical_Shoyru I think you make a good point that crimes committed a long time ago should not be unpunished simply because it happened a long time ago. However there are two limbs to common law - case law and equity. I'm not familiar with the American legal system, but the general principle is that although the law should be followed, and is, in many cases, absolute, the courts do have power, to a certain degree, to interpret laws in a way that is as fair as possible, and to ensure it does not lead to absurdity.

    My heart goes out to the families that are being ripped apart. One can say "the law is the law", and I can't argue it's incorrect, but I'm of the opinion that it's not fair, and probably not the intention of the lawmakers, to send people, American or otherwise, to countries where they haven't been in for decades, countries where they have no claim to any property or even identity, and maybe even countries whose language they don't speak. If a child were not born in America, but brought into the country as an infant by their parents, are they not innocent third parties? Should the law seek to punish them when they had no control over their entry into America?

    From a social perspective, although such policy may discourage future illegal immigrants, I believe the price America has to pay would be high. When/ if the parents are sent back, and if the children are left behind, who will take care of them? What are their chances of growing up healthily? Their chances of being integrated into the society as a productive member?

    When the enforcement of a law is going to affect a whole generation of people of a particular group, the government ought to be careful. It is also harmful to the society as a whole to promote an "us vs them" concept between Americans and illegal immigrants, or distribute divisive messages as the President often does. Unfortunately, I have no real insight into how the issue of illegal immigration should be handled, or even how a more effective/ easier immigration policy could be implemented.

    @jellysundae In the UK, there are no statue of limitations on criminal matters (with the exception of summary offence). As for other areas of law such as contract, tort and personal injury etc., see Limitation Act 1980. I'm not sure which countries it differs from and how.

    yeah sorry, my mind went STRAIGHT into the gutter upon reading this.

    I'm starting to think your mind is never NOT in the gutter... ?

    On a completely serious note, if there were a Coconut Shy Trophy, it might be the perfect complement to our previous Altador snail-like trophy ? I'm surprised no one tried to make one during the NeoCreation Week on Facebook

  5. My pet didn't change colour and here's what I got. Hopefully better luck getting an exclusive item tomorrow

    First things first, here's your reward for helping me out! You can go check your inventory for a:

    This is going to be interesting, as I only have one pet.

    I heard through the grapevine that most Pound pets will risk a lot in exchange for a warm loving permanent home lol
