One of my guild mates recommends playing like 25 of the GMC games a day because one of the later challenges is usually to have played like 100 games.  So it's a little less mind numbing if you space them out.  I'm bored, so I'm trying to go through and play them each once.  I just played advert attack, and it made me really appreciate the invention of ad blockers, because I remember the days when the internet was actually like that.  Also, it was easier to play when I rotated my computer to tablet mode and used the touchscreen rather than trying to move the cursor around with my touchpad.

Awesome balloons
I treated myself yesterday with some fries and other deep fry foods and an ice cream with maple syrup as dessert. Yum!
 

Ah, so what I would have worn for a school spirit week "wacky tacky day"

Hahaha I just edited my post to include that I didn't get it because I already had it... I'm a mess. Thank you for your help xD

i see a light green space when i hover over the achievement .. does it mean i completed it ??

To "complete" you just need to send score.  1 point will do.  That's for the later one we were talking about where you'll have to have 100 games complete.  Those are also the list from which you need to favorite 5 for this first task.

They "fixed" the three achievements that weren't giving prizes, in that they've now made it clear that they were never supposed to give prizes, and they added lines to all of the achievements saying that completing them helps you move up the ranks (ie, get a better trophy/prize points)

I just passed my driving exam! I'm going to the city hall sometime this week to get me my drivers license. I'm super duper happy and wanted to share that with all of you!

YESSSS. I finally finally FINALLY got the wheel of extravagance av!!!!! I could cry!

I clicked the wrong link at the training school...
 
While out for a stroll, Taffieh looks down and finds 49,482 NP on the ground. Today looks like a lucky day!

I chose living and took an embarrassingly long time to complete the imperial exam.  I think mostly I just needed to get it through my head that there was plenty of time, and not let my fingers decide to press random buttons.  Also, ie/ei is super hard. Plus a few double letter ones tripped me up.  Spelling is not my strongest point.  Plus I kept being afraid that the words COULD be spelled correctly in British English.  After all, neo says Defence.  And so I grew up thinking that was right until my mom told me that in the US we say Defense.  

I've played Neo for over 10 years, but never actually participated in a plot like this. I finished everything that's required as of right now and I'm stoked for the whole thing haha. Thanks to everyone that posted on here for being so helpful! I was lost at the beginning for sure :)

Who do you think has been an awesome neofriend and deserves a gift?
This isn't really a contest or giveaway, but I figured this would be the best place for it. I'm just looking to gift some random unsuspecting people and surprise them with something to make them smile! I'm super thankful for how many people have helped me out throughout the years and have gifted me and I figure what better week to spread that thankfulness than Thanksgiving week!
How it Works
All you need to do is post the username of someone you think deserves a gift or a cheer-me-up and a theme of something they might like or collect. What I'll send to people is completely random and the prices will vary, but I will try to stay with in things they like or collect. You could post a wishlist, gallery, or just simply give me a guideline of things they like. You can nominate friends or family, doesn't bother me :)
(if you don't feel comfortable posting a username you can PM on here)
Again this isn't an item grab or a giveaway, just looking to give back to some well deserving people :)
 
Thanks again everyone!

I have a few quest cookies in my SDB too. I only use them when I have the skirmish boon to refresh a quest.. No air faerie quests for me!

I'd say train your level up at the Swashbuckling Academy with dubloons until you reach level 50, then move on to the Mystery Island training school. Once the courses start getting advanced (e.g asking for 6+ codestones) I'd start using your fortune cookies, cus they're likely to be cheaper and faster than training.
It'll take a while (especially with such an uneven stat spread) but you've already got really good strength and HP, which should be enough to make up for the deficit in defence and level.

My method for deciding these things is always to ask:
1) What would you do with the NP if you sold the item?
2) Would that make you happier than having/using the item you are debating selling?

I'd probably go ahead and use your faerie cookies.  You might be able to get strength and defence up to the next boost tier, which would help.  Or you could wait until you graduate from the Krawk Island school, so that you get as much as you can of the cheapest level training.
 
Oh, and yes, movement is completely useless as things stand.  There are maybe one or two battledome items that require a certain movement to fully use.  I think the main one may be broken.  And your movement is pretty high already.
 
If you did eventually get to level 558, you wouldn't really need to train that anymore at all, the highest tier for strength and defence is 750, so anything above that doesn't actually improve your battledome performance any.  You could train HP more after that, but you can train HP to 3x your level (you just have to train level back up to half to train anything else, so do it last) so you could get 1674HP at that level.  Which is pretty ridiculously high.

Anybody been able to get the other 2 wraith achievements/items yet? Or the reward for brewing the potion?

Apparently you can get the ectoplasm from the wraith, at least if you use the spear.  So you need to fight them before getting all your items from the dome.
@jellysundae, go to http://www.neopets.com/twr/lockpuzzle/lock.phtml to unlock the chest.  You should be able to do it again even after you've already opened, in order to try for the achievement.  And you can refresh if you get 3 misses, in order to reset your miss count.

Seems a current theory about the missing Ectoplasm is that it IS supposed to be one of the Prize Drops for the SnapJaw Wraith.
HOWEVER...the Snapjaw Wraith is SUPPOSED to be in the New Dome (that has not been activated). Instead he is in the  Rattling Cauldron (Haunted woods) Dome so it is those prizes that are being dropped.
My guess is that the 'fix' will require activating the NEW Dome and putting the SnapJaw Wraith in it...THEN the prize drops will include the Ectoplasm (and other ingredients needed to mix Potions).
Hopefully won't have to wait until Monday (but probably will)

Yeah, my red codestone was only... Ooh, I just found one for 2k!...  20k instead of the 30+ it's been, so I moved that from my shop to my SDB.  I stopped being willing to pay 30+ for each of my codestones, but for 20, I'll finish getting my defense to the next boost.

I'm trying to get to 200 avis before the end of this year while spending as little cash as possible, so I'm sort of on a grind. Got Queen Fyora (thanks to the ALP!), Evil Eliv Thade, Happy Birthday! and Cap'n Threelegs since my last post. I got Neoquest II - Weakling and Dice Escape today. Even though DE is super easy, I still have a headache from the flashing colors. That game should probably have an epilepsy warning.
I'm sittin' pretty at 192 now
