Yes, it works but without the flash part. You just go to this page.
Although it is rare to win! In my 10+ years of doing it daily I've won somewhere between 5 and 10 times. I have gotten NC through some events though, I just can't remember what events (Maybe Neopets or neomall birthdays or so).

I knew they'd go NC too for the UC pets, but at least we have the art back! So I for one am very happy to have been able to achieve my dream. The trading for UC pets was crazy too, and to be fair, the NC can be free. Most of my NC that I've gotten has been free, through events or winning the Scarab expellibox. It is kinda expensive sure, but I'm sure if they made it really cheap a lot of people would have complained too as it would "lose value" because it's not "special" anymore.

I got the Nova Fruit Bubble Tea which was a nice surprise. Last time Trudy's Surprise updated it took a while to get the food items for my gallery. I bought them instead, and then got it on my next spin if I remember correctly. 

I was able to avoid most of the downtime by sleeping and working. I did however bought the deluxe version now and got my hands on my dream pet, although it says he is Mutant. Might change that to faerie so it would make sense with the picture, and maybe see if I could get him to become female but that's not really important.

Tsk.  Well it seems my weekly quests stayed the same, but only the money part of Trudy (4 days away!) reset.  Oh well.  could be worse I suppose.

The Sway is the one with the bank bribery.  I will never not join them when they're on the list.
 

This is why we shouldn't let Grandpa Grundo do the Maintenance!🤣

Just got 3 levels in 1 training session. I guess I don't have to do more of that for a few days. 

@GillyTook it's an NP item so you can't claim it on your side account 
Honestly it's not even worth it ... but I claimed it nonetheless and it'll sit in my SDB forever

It has actually been quite some time since I got a bonus at this high. 

It will essentially be a wearable that "converts" your pet. You will be able to take it off and your pet will go back to normal at any time.
I believe Faerie, Grey and Darigan will all be available on the 23rd, based off their Instagram post. 

Woman, you and this darn snowball obsession...

You are allowed to use the Ruffle extension to play Neopets and access old features. 

sounds pretty nice, but.... most neopets fan sellers that have an actual website or etsy for it sell physical things like stickers or keychains, no? i haven't seen anyone sell wallpapers or their commissions like that o: rather over social media
so i'm wondering how many this applies to.

I can't say anything about kiko pop, but I DO know you can still do the expellibox.  Just open this link.  I leave it open in a tab in any of the browsers I play with and just refresh it once a day.

Yeah, most freezers, bombs and healers are either one use (gone forever after used) or once per battle (gone but will be back your next battle). So with those you have to predict when they would be the most useful and hope that you're right. Knowing what your opponent can use, using TDN's 1-player profiles page, which can be found here, https://thedailyneopets.com/battledome/secret-challengers under the Active Challengers heading. Can help you decide what defensive items you may want to use, depending on what weapons they can use.
In the case of Holiday Memories. You'll get the 20% heal not matter what, but whether or not you block any damage when you use it, depends on what your opponent uses and if they have those icons that can be blocked. So yeah, it's basically luck and insight.

Holiday Memories heals 20% of your max HP and blocks 100% of Dark, Physical, and Fire, once per battle. It's an interesting Healer that could be quite useful, but the  20% heal isn't as great as say, Feel Better Soup's 50% heal. Feel Better Soup, as a refresher, also blocks 100% air when it's used once per battle.
But, if you're up against an opponent that uses Fire, dark, and physical and you don't have a better healer, Holiday Memories isn't bad. Especially if it keeps you from taking damage from those icon types on the turn you use it to heal. Also, Fire is one of the harder icons to block, as fewer items do it or block great quantities of it. So Holiday Memories would get a point for that too. I would stick with a 50% healer, but against the "right" opponent, I can see it being somewhat useful.

Oh wow, I had no idea there was any way to still get the expellibox to work! Thank you so much for sharing the link!

Okay, so power of friendship is terrible, what about the Holiday Memories?

I was trying to copy your UN and instead the above is what happened. I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on the  The Power of Friendship item. Do you think this item is worth having in your arsenal of weapons? Would you please post your thoughts about this?  Please and thank you!

Hello! As some of you may know Nielo & I were talking about the future state of The Runaway toward the end of last year.

With some discussion we agreed that I would start running the contest again & Nielo would hop in and help here and there whenever she is available!

That being said some new things are coming to the Runway! 🙂
 
We are allowed to give out prizes now! Back in 2018 TNT changed the rule they had which did not allow for anyone to give out prizes for contests ran. This meant that prizes were now allowed to be given out. I also had personally spoke to Alice back in that year to clarify and ask some questions about the announcement made in that editorial & she answered with this; because the Runway had started in 2015 this was something that developed many years after the start of this contest. So we're excited to announce that the winner(s) of each round will be receiving a NC item prize. This may change to being a mix of NC item prize and NP Wearable item prizes in the future, but for now we're sticking to NC
I would like to try to keep the contests more anonymous to keep it fair so I will be finding way to make the contest fair & fun for everyone that wants to participate 
 The contest will be ran essentially once a month, with two weeks for submissions & two weeks for voting.
I've also created a poll above regarding the "story" option for the runway. I wanted to see if people would still like to keep this as an option going forward with The Runway in 2024. I do think it's a really neat option, but with only so many people actually using it & everyone having different writing styles I think after awhile you'll begin to know who is writing what & the contest would not remain anonymous. If we'd like to keep that story option available another thought is maybe turning that section into a "Winner's Story"; in which you can submit a story to be displayed/showed on your entry if it places.
THE RUNWAY WILL BE RETURNING ON 1/14/2023

I look forward to getting this going again with all of you and can't wait to see the creative things you guys come up with again!

You're right. The Maraquan Commanders Helm only defends 3 water and 3 dark icons. Your tablet is definitely better! Some of these weekly prizes aren't very good, the one I'm currently working toward is a White Ixi Plushie, only worth about 10k, maybe less by now. lol

I think I've got 3 slots left to fill that on my main, and I kinda think I know of two I'd like to have?  **shrugs**  
I also got a maraquan commander's helm today from the weekly quest rewards.  I'm gonna assume it's not as good as the tablet as a defence method, but can I get confirmation on that before I see if it's still able to be sold?

I can't edit this any longer, sorry!

IT'S THE WITCHER!  That's why it looked so familiar.  I'm a derp.  Haha, I was like I knowwww that outfit, but for some reason could not figure out what it was from.
