    DragonPhoenix got a reaction from Scoobert_Doo in Charity Corner 2019 Begins!   
    Haha, yeah I was a bit thrown off by the new host for CC this year, but then once I read thru the event info and the backstory, I realized this is actually just a shameless Marie Kondo ripoff, all the way down to making the host character from Shenkuu, 
     
    Anyway, just wanted to share some info here: the new CC Avatar is already active, it appears to be triggered upon 100 items donated. (I read 100 donations in one of the guides, but I have just donated in lots of 10 items each donation so far, and when I returned to the Hub page to pull the lever on my 11th donation there it was!) so I just wanted to note that it seems to be earned thru 100 items donated, not 100 separate uses of the donation machine.
    Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Charity Corner 2019' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!  
    And with that, I'm off to start purging the SDB... Happy CC everyone!!

    I got the Rubbish avatar last year and I can vouch that items need not all be unique, you should get credit towards the avatar for all your multiples.  
    The SDB Pack Rat avatar requires having over 1000 UNIQUE items in your SDB, is that maybe what you are thinking of, @Granny63020?
    Just to share strategy ideas: When I was working on the Rubbish avvie, I surfed around daily and picked up a whole inventory of items that could be found for 1-5 Np in user shops. I used the Item DB on JellyNeo to see what the absolute lowest worth items were, and just searched a few every day until I had my inventory full, then discarded the whole thing. It actually went faster than I expected and it didn't cost me a fortune. Good luck with your avatar - you may be close to getting it already ?

    Heads up, there is an Easter Bunny Avatar that is only available three days a year, the original Easter weekend the year it was started.  Since Easter is late this year, figured I would post a reminder.
    To get, send this Neogreeting on April 8th, 9th, or 10th: here
    Get the avatar and then mark it off with our handy avatar tracking page!

    I broke out a hoarded quest cookie to combine with the boon this week as well, and I've had that happen TWICE. I am basically refreshing everything because I'm gambling for a fountain faerie dip so I can pick up another rare pet avvie and on the first day I refreshed a dark faerie and got an air faerie, and then today I refreshed a fire faerie and got the grey (which always makes my heart leap because that's how I got my last fountain faerie dip) but of course, she called in... an air faerie. Anybody want to organize a little friendly footrace with these neopets of ours? With this kind of luck we've got to have the speediest little critters in neopia.

    So guys, I got the Turmy avatar yesterday!! Just 3 months after switching to a calorific pet pet, lojoco did the same and got it after a few months too!!
    ... think there really IS something to this?!
    Scoobs, if you read this, I'm not excluding you, I just felt it'd be poor taste to ping you to this thread because of your past history with Turmy. ?

    TIP : 
    An obstacle can never appear in the same lane two times in a row. So when an obstacle appears in lane 1, move to lane 1 as soon as it passes, then move to wherever the next obstacle appears, and so on. Takes about 9 minutes to pass 400 obstacles for the achievement.
    (i made it to 4 minutes but i'm actually sleepy .. i'm sure i can get the achievements tomorrow)

    DragonPhoenix reacted to redespeon in TNT didn't make Lyra's Escape, and why it's especially bad   
    Rememeber the plot that was supposed to be going on? Well, it updated! And boy oh boy, there's a game to play! 
    JN mentions it's "A reskinned Pterattack"...but man, do I wish it was. 
    What it ACTUALLY is, is a reskin of a cheap license game you can buy pre-made for your site. Anyone can pay $999 to get the rights to the game use, and reskin it for their site. Which is depressing, since TNT felt the need to spend one grand on a game that a first-year CS student can crap out in half an hour.
    This has an important implication.
    This means that currently there's no free coders on the Neopets staff able to produce this excuse for a game right now. They didn't have a single intern with minimal programming knowledge that they could lock in a closet after being told "We need this kind of game within an hour or two, stat".

    DragonPhoenix reacted to jellysundae in Coltzan's Shrine Receives New Prizes!   
    Oh, nice! Most of those are pretty nicely drawn, too. The plushie is cute, and funny as it looks like it's throwing a tantrum. ?
    The food almost looks nice, but also kind of like it's been run over.
    Though, to be fair...


    Actual Sand Dabs also look kind of like they've been run over. ?
    The neo version could definitely have done with filling the plate a little more though, couldn't it, a wedge of lemon in that empty space would have helped a lot, and less tight with the garnish. I've noticed that with a number of the newer plated food items, the serving size is often real stingy!
    Food looks better when it's drawn big enough to fill the plate!
    See what I mean? That's one mean plate of cookies!
    mean
    MEAN!
    Seriously?! That's a plate of cakes apparently, not 6 slices of carrot with a dusting of icing sugar.
    But we have a lovely full plate here... ?? Nice and generous with the gross food... how, thoughtful... xD

    DragonPhoenix got a reaction from jellysundae in Is YIPP gonna make me rich?   
    I just started playing stocks about 6 months ago when I went for the avatar and I've never seen one on my portfolio go over 100 before. I made a tidy 400k profit when I chickened out and sold most of my YIPP shares when it hit 80-something, I only had a couple thousand in YIPP anyway so it doesn't matter much. I agree though, it's funny how they get past a certain point and you stop worrying about it! It's just like, go on, do your thing, I want to see where you're going with this lol. Makes me wonder if the Neo market actually functions with any semblance of actual market variables or if it's a computer program running the whole thing and occasionally it's scripted to let one really get up there to keep people interested...

    That's extremely lucky. I haven't heard of anyone finding an item that's eligible for the avatar for ages. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the avatar has been broken all along, as there have been no reports of anyone getting it for months now. You not getting the avatar, despite getting an eligible item, would seem to confirm that it's broken.
    @DragonPhoenix I'm not exactly sure what's so special about the apple core, but apparently it's so rare that JN doesn't even have a price history for it. ?

    DragonPhoenix got a reaction from acmerasta in Not too long now before those Charity Corner perks end...   
    I'm kind of in the same boat as you, @jellysundae I tend to kind of forget that I have the bank and stock perks, and so I'm sure when they do run out I'll be sad. On the other hand, it's nice to have had them for the whole year, I was amazed initially that they were set up to last that long. It all depends on how high your bank balance is and how actively you participate in the stocks, but added up over the whole year that's got to be a huge gain for people who consistently used those features.
    As for this year's CC I'm on the fence. I did like the old style of rewards where you got items in return, although I recall being irritated at the time because I had very few r90+ items the first year I partook in CC and the r90's I got in return for those donations were all fairly common, low-value ones. I watched people brag about getting priceless stamps and weapons and just fumed  I liked last year's format in the sense that nearly anything was fair game to donate. I know it gets extremely tedious donating 1-point items over and over and over, but I found the resulting near-total purge of my SDB oddly satisfying.
    After last year's CC I've basically been hoarding everything, because at this point it's not safe to make any assumptions about this event. Funny thing is, because there's no guaranteed formula for CC, TNT is inadvertently prompting people to hoard LOTS of items, which is basically the exact opposite of the "purpose" of clearing out the servers with the event. Wonder if it's worth it to them to have everything cleaned up and tidy for a week or two when CC ends, and then people start filling that space right up again saving things for another whole year.
    I also have a bunch of unused points from last year still sitting in the perks shop, but I'm just under the total for anything else I would want, so they will go to waste. I'm with @acmerasta, I wish we could pool point with others and donate them somehow so that at least they would get used. Seems to me that I recall a mention in the news or the NT about more options being planned so people could spend unused points, but obviously that never happened.

    My first thought was "Um, doesn't something actually have to, ya know, HAPPEN in order for something to count as a plot?"
    Although, I noticed the other day that Fyora STILL has not been returned to the Hidden Tower after the WR plot, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised at how slowly the Lyra story is crawling along

    DragonPhoenix got a reaction from jellysundae in Stock Update?   
    I feel like a read somewhere that the Stock Market is supposed to update hourly, but that's not a guarantee that anything actually changes, just that is could. I just started playing stock market this last year and I'm sort of lazy about it... I usually check it when I'm doing my dailies and buy if there is something at 10 (I have the CC perk) but if there is nothing available at that time I rarely remember to come back later and check again. 
    I agree though, it seems like sometimes a pack of them sit at 9 and 11 just to annoy me
