dyed_indigo Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi, I am very new to neopets as I have only been around for 3 months. I am seeing puzzle pieces with the wc 2.1, etc... What is the "World Challenge" and where do I go to participate? With the puzzle pieces do they lead to anything? Thank you for your help and patience with a "newbie". o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Word Challenges are game competition. You can access them here : http://www.neopets.com/challenges/world_index.phtml or click on the Neopia icon on any game page. It cost 100 nps to enter. For each Neopets world 3-5 games are available everyday. I recommand you to only enter into a challenge if you are really good at the game. One good way to know if you're good enough is to watch previous hours and see what were highest scores. Once you're entered for the WC, you need to play the game and submit your score. Scores are then processed against random user who also entered for that hour. 3 possibilities from that point : You beat your opponent's score and get one tally point (Tally +1), you lose against your opponent and get 1 negative tally point (tally -1) or you tie with your opponent (tally 0). You can send as many scores as you want for this hour. The 3 first scores will still earn you np for the day, the other score will only be registered for the WC. At the end of the hour, players who have a tally of 0 or greater are eligible to win a map piece and some np. You can sort the player table on the page to see if you are in a position to win. People with the most tally, highest score for this hour or highest total of score are eligible to win. Depending how many people are taking part into the challenge, the amount of winners will be different. Prizes are only awarded if 5 or more users are entered for this hour. In the case 5 players aren't entered, the table won't erase for next hour. Eventually more people will enter and the challenge will be judged. Also, if one of your score isn't proceed before the end of the hour, it will be proceed next hour even if you don't enter again into the challenge. Conserning rewards, you have the opportunity to keep or sell your map pieces. There are 3 maps to complete for each world (so that's why you have things like Neopia Central 1.4 WC Piece, Neopia Central 2.4 WC Piece, Neopia Central 3.4 WC Piece). However, you will only get map of level 1 until you convert a level 1 map for that world. Then you will move on level 2, until you convert it, then on level 3. When you convert a map, you get 2000 nps and an item. For Neopia Central 1 I got a Pirate Petpet Paint Brush and for Neopia Center 2 I got a red codestone. I was told that these prizes were not good... You can win paint brush and other great stuff. (And selling extra pieces is a great income as well).

elcid42 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 If there is one game which you are really good at and there is a World Challenge for it then you can get some seriously good NPs selling the prizes. Mostly paint brushes. I have had 3 or 4 750,000+ PBs from finishing level 3 puzzles. Plus once you finish all 3 maps in a world, you can reset them and start again.
