Mannnn, they did us dirty this year 😞 Only thing I kinda like is the military-dog-esque backpack at the very bottom =/  I mean, part of it is that I don't like any of the elderly pets, but the rest is just bleh.  

The Dimensional Uni looks so cool!! I like how there's little hints of purple / pink, so it's not just a dark blue with lighter highlights. They did really good for this Pet!
I adore this flower braid, the colors just complement each other so well, and it really goes great with the overall design of the Uni! The brown braid, while not as awesome, is still really cute! I could see it being nice with other wearables  I like the stained glass type of horn and cutie mark (I guess we could call it that lol!) The colors are really nice! The opal themed horn is a bit better, in my opinion, it looks so magical! The mark is also nice, but feels a bit small compared to the final one. Speaking of, the glitter one is really cute! A really good set here!! 
A delightful day, Unis!

Ooohhhh, this was a GREAT day!  Only ones I'm kinda meh about are the food (don't collect it) and the braided mane!  The dimensional is completely wicked, and the flower mane is adorable.  Oh, and I love MLP, so the cutie marks are just delightful!

Neopets will be down for maintenance tonight from 9PM NST and will last approximately 2 hours. This downtime is to upgrade their servers.

Definitely could! It’s kind of interesting to see how people use the same outfit or pet in different ways! But I’m also interested to see how people might use other backgrounds! 🙂 
 
@rugrat0ne I did! I will double check the links that everyone gave me to make sure they all work tonight! if I have any issues I’ll message people.

Somehow when I was searching, I missed a lot of those.  WELL THEN!  My entry might have been different, but I am happy with what I ended up with, so maybe not.

Well, there's a few Neopies backgrounds, plus a red carpet, and lots of other party backgrounds, I think there'll be a variety.

I get the feeling you'll have a lot of the same background.  Hah.  Ohhh, but I'm still stuck in WIGS, let alone any other accessories!  Oh my.  I guess it's a good thing I've got another week or so to get my entry in.

Hello! New to TDN! 

I'm an avatar collector primarily, but also collect books and gourmet foods, and am working on a pet pet gallery!

Happy to be here and looking forward to getting more avvies 🤩

@discobiscuit  That was exactly what I was concerned about.  Thank you!  I know it was annoying when I got a couple faerie quests that put me from 4 codestones to 5 because my strength was too high, so I can't imagine doing it with the reds.  I'd likely cry.  Of course I'm also a girly little thing, so it's a bit understandable.

I've seen non-flash links for games and dailies like Expellibox, Coconut Shy, etc etc but I never end up holding onto them and it's just a little too tedious to go looking for them again. I think it'd be super convenient if the TDN Dailies page included easy non-flash links to any dailies that are otherwise not doable.

This is 100% true.  If you're at level 100, you can train your strength or defense (or movement) up to 200 and your hit points up to 300.   However, once you go over 2x with hit points, you can only train hit points further (up to the 3x level maximum).  No more strength or defense while you're doing this. 
I did do this, thinking I wanted it, but I was wrong.  In my humble opinion, you should increase HP to 3x at the end of your training journey not the middle!
I kept strength, defense, and hit points 2x my level up until about level 280 when I noticed for the first time that one could up the hit points to 3x the level, so I went wild and got my hit points to 840 before I realized I could not train my strength or defense until I reached level 420.  All I could do for 100+ days was to train level and nothing else. 
I have done the math (after doing all this, not before like a sensible person) and depending on where you stop training strength and defense (there's no reason to go higher than 750), it's between 11 and 14% cheaper red codestone-wise to train everything up 2x until you hit level 500 and then increase hp as much as you want. 
Realize that no matter what, you're in for finding 1200 to 1500 red codestones.  Not having to buy 200+ extra codestone is obviously cheaper and will take several weeks less to complete, but that's not why I'm warning against going 3x early.  I can tell you the sad grindy-ness of level day after day made me hate the game:
If I got to do a faerie quest that gave me 3 HP, I got mad!  You should be happy something that would cost 300K np to do cost nearly nothing, but my joy had been ground down to a nub.  In those days and days of grinding level out, I passed the Adept and Advanced levels of training, so once I reached the 2x limit, all my progress on strength and defense cost 3 red codestones.  I had to skip over the 2 codestone cost entirely.  I felt that I'd missed out on the cheaper tier even though mathematically it was only for 14%, it still made me grumble. Maybe if I'd chosen the path purposefully at the start, I wouldn't have felt that way, but all of a sudden realizing I had to level up about 200 times before I could change anything else wore on me.  And, of course, some players are going to be fine with it, but I think you're better off knowing what you're up against beforehand.
(I'm better now that my pet's levels and stuff are properly aligned)

It took me 16 tickets between 20k and 31k each, but i got that freaking plushie ;w;
seriously why is it so rare? i still got it cheaper than buying it outright but heck it cost me around 450k to get this fella 😔

@GillyTook, that sounds like a good plan!
Regarding Kitchen Quests. At least there's no penalty if you don't feel like finishing them. I recommend price checking each of the 3 or 4 items your asked for before you buy any. Lately I've been getting thrown some curve-balls when trying to do a Kitchen Quest. There'd be 2 or 3 reasonably priced items requested, 1k-2k or so, and then one that is over 10k. While it'd be worth it NP-wise to try it for a random stat point, I only need to work on my HP, so if I get a worthless item or low amount of NP back, or the stat point goes to some other stat, it's not very good. So I keep checking and hoping for a lower priced-quest. As I'm trying hard to save my NP to upgrade my battle gear.

My point is, just be wary of how much each item costs and do what you feel you can afford per quest. You can complete up to 10 on-site quests a day. Snow Faerie, Edna, Kitchen Quests, all count toward the 10. The counter resets at midnight NST. And the time to complete the quests seems to be between 2 and a half to 3 and a half hours pretty often.
Good luck!

I'll look into getting up to 250 def/str.  Depending on the start date, it could be doable.  And then work on HP for whatever time I've got left before level grinding. 
I keep hearing about the kitchen quests, but haven't done any yet.  I'll need to look into those, I think.  

I've been on the site (well, lost my previous acct due to password/email shenanigans, eh) since May of 2003, and I finally got this this morning.  WOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  Now to get the billions I'll need for the stamps, books, and booktastic books, lol.

Hah.  Chia seeds in the food.  Clever.
Is it just me, or is the banana quite scary?  Like, it looks like they stretched him out on the rack or something >_> 

The banana chia is SO stupid looking, it loops back around to being amazing

For me personally I have got the 100K twice since it started but I want the items. The Toy PB. The Candy PB and Pastel PB I've got (and a lot more expensive items as well) far out way the 100K. I felt cheated when I got the NP's. Of course it's just a personal preference. I'm sure there are a lot of others that agree with you.
