This is older. Either way, with Illusen's Staff being part of the prize pool in the charity corner, would it be worth getting for single player battledome fights to replace any of my current gear? It's the same as it was last time I posted. I tend to stick to fights I can win in a single round (or try to) because my pet is not very highly trained, if that matters at all, though I've never really tested to see quite how far she can go.

I want the gruslen, but I just couldn't join the dark side. Bleh. Definitely can't afford that much, and am going with the second tier stuff **rolls eyes so hard they get stuck** Ugh. Seeing iffy things about if the staff is worth it or not. Have seen yes if you do 2 player (I don't) and have seen yes no matter what. **shrugs** No idea what to think. Any idea if we can get a thread started later for how to best use the points we get to maximise our profits reselling rewards? How many days does this last again? I've found some cheap 6 point items and I'd like to buy out as many as I'll need for the event now before they're all gone.

1: I see good and bad. They started this to reduce clutter that was slowing the site down, right? The limit makes it fairer (sort of) to newbies, BUT the point system makes it unfair. Instead of being able to donate 30 items of any quality and get good things, you've either got to spend a ton of NP, hope you had good stuff already, or just settle for so-so prizes. I've been grabbing stuff that was worth more points in older events, but I'm already out of the stuff that was worth the maximum amount of points because I had zero idea how it'd work because they change the point system each year. Do I buy a ton of things you can technically get for free every day at 10K each and hope to get some of that cash back, or do I go for the next tier down and hope that I can get enough NP to get enough good prizes to make up for what I've spent? 2: I like that they have a set of new things (petpet and the necklaces are, right?) AND a lot of old prizes. I've been around for 20 years (wow, I feel old, lol) but wasn't active for a lot of it, so I've missed a lot of things like stamp giveaways or events (noooo!) It's really nice that they are releasing some of the old stuff because there is no way I'll ever (especially with price gougers, especially since I've seen some theories a lot of those are using bots to grab items to inflate the prices of) be able to afford half the stuff I want-gourmet food, books, stamps, etc. Would probably be better if they were doing it through things like the daily question, though. 3: I also had no idea stuff like food club bets were controversial. I don't see any problem with permanent events on the site giving better rewards as an account ages. Gives you something to stick around for. For limited time events, I think it's a lot less fair. Hey, I'm new! Oh, this event looks. . . oh, I'll just have to hope I can buy the prizes sometime in future when my account is older/I've got more np/I've just given up and become a price gouger so I can afford anything. Cool. 4: I picked Illusen because I'm a goodie-two-shoes who likes light side stuff There are a couple things on Jhudora's side that I'd like to get, but eh. Either way it'll be fine I'm sure? I just always get a ton of anxiety over choices because I am always afraid I'll find out I've made the wrong one.

See, this is why I still say I don't understand the battledome stuff at all Thank you.

I'm rather irked at the prize pools. An unbuyable stamp, goodie bag, and set of wings on Judhora's side (not a dark faerie/bad guys sort, so was not wanting to go with her) vs. some battledome stuff when I STILL don't understand how that works, so no idea if worth it, and a bracelet that is buyable? Were they trying to force people to go dark side, or do they just not care about equality? Might have to buy some omelettes from you either way, since I hadn't been saving them up, and have no clue what's in my SDB. Edit: Donated 4 omelettes from my inventory and got 11 points? Do they have to be particular omelettes, or am I not understanding this either? I thought they were the maximum value items.

Fun Jurassic Park reference, and holy cow that skeleton is so amazing I'm a bit of a paleo geek, though, so it isn't much of a surprise I was so excited to see it.

I was just asked for something that was released on techo day this year. The shop wizard has one at 1 million np. You're kidding, right?

**shakes head** I don't actually have that button. Anywhere. Hoo boy. How in the world does my permanent state of tech hating me translate to even a page on a website not working?

Am I missing something? When did they announce the charity corner? I'm not seeing anything for it.

I can't figure out discord and don't have the lab ray on my main anyway (great decision making, me, absolutely great.) but it's super kind of you to give those away

Is the plot live? Did I miss it, or is it just guessing as to what may or may not be needed?

I've seen the second hand store and money tree be out of items (regularly) but never the rubbish dump! Maybe the composting and recycling efforts around Meridell are finally starting to pay off!

I think it's just an unhappy poogle. If it was the wand, I don't think his eyes would also be downturned, right?

AAH! THE PUPPY IS SO CUTE!!!!!!! Holy heck. I need a poogle now, which means getting way lucky at the pound and buying cash to add pet slots. BUT IT'SSOCUTE!!!!! **ahem** Sorry. I'm a dog person, hahaha. The wizard is also way cute, though he looks so sad to be a wizard. Poor little dude. There are much worse fates! Maybe he'd wanted to be the one that got to play with the plushie instead.

Thank you! He was a find from lost and pound, back when it was working really well. Thank you for giving me the kick to finally finish dressing him!

NAME: Arthur_Tonu SPECIES: Tonu COLOR: Blue DESCRIPTION (optional): Arthur_Tonu is happiest when he's exploring. Recently, he got out his winter gear and scaled the top of a mountain to see the polar lights, something that had been on his bucket list for years. @Yuiina This is not doing the quotes right today. Sorry if this is a bit wonky! I'll work on one or a couple of my ogrins next week if I have time at work.

Secre does more steps than I do. I just gift my side a junk item and use it as a trade. I don't think it makes any difference, but I always put in the trade ad that I'm transferring np to my side accounts just in case they get noticed. https://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=522422&week=506 This is old now (four pets on accounts! How quaint!) but it says what you are/aren't allowed to do with side accounts, just in case you want to double check before doing something to make sure you don't get in trouble for it.

Alright. I've got one of my pets (lol, oops?) dressed up once I find a couple things in the shop wiz. How do we submit them to you?

I STILL say it is completely disturbing that draik eggs are sold in the food store. Otherwise, so many of these are so cool I love the hydra and the elementals.

Ogrins and tonis aren't popular? But they're so cute! Guess I'll need to get to work on mine, since I've had zero energy to customise at all in the last ever XD

Nice! It's always a great feeling when you can win at that one.

I also really like the snowglobes Might have to change my gallery to have a collection of those one of these years. The library is a-maz-ing!!! I love it! And the mushroom (?) wings are really cute, too. Side note: Why don't we say what the items are called in these?

I also didn't know about the edit window! I'm not a huge bloo fan, but the knight is cute. Have to wait to see the rest on the work comp on Monday since my monitor is pink, lol. Dunno if it's the graphics card or the monitor itself, but it's a laptop, so likely expensive either way

I'd been reporting them, too, but was wondering if it was a waste of time for them >_> Felt like I was being annoying. @Mouseykins I know you're doing everything you can! THEY are the obnoxious ones, not you!

Obnoxious spambots. Seriously, some of us use the most recent posts feature Do people actually fall for this nonsense? Because they'd have to be making cash off of it, you'd think, to keep sending them out, unless it's just some jerk with self-esteem/ego problems who keeps creating them to inconvenience others. **waves broom at spam bots** Shoo! SHOO!!!
