hrtbrk Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Is there something that I don't know about? lol So there IS a way to gain access to the magma pool AND earn neopoints?!?! Do we have another Bonju type of deal here? Hey, TNT! I have a question I've been wanting to ask: are we allowed to go to the Magma Pool and get a magma Neopet on our side account? I know it's random at the Lab Ray, but what about going to the pool? Thanks, and here are some cookies! (please leave out my username) ~ username removed You may not earn the right to visit the Magma Pool on your side accounts, as this would also earn you Neopoints, but you are welcome to visit in hopes of sneaking past the sleeping guard, as there are no Neopoints rewarded for doing so. http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=433 What else can this Magma pool do!!!??? :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Does anyone actually know yet how to earn membership to the magma pool - it was driving me crazy but I've now kind of given up until someone reminds me of it! I want a magma pet, but after months of refreshing (can't remember when it started so I may be exaggerating) I've also given up on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycrazykitten Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Weird, I've gotten into the Magma pool quite a few times, but I've only painted two pets *one's my lab pet so no longer painted*, so I've stopped visiting as I have no need to go. This needs to be looked in to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikah Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It would earn you neopoints, huh? Maybe you have to get a certain score on one of the Moltara games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylar_noel Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I got access after I collected the worms like 3 times and made a couple petpets...maybe something to do with that? Cause if you sold the moltite or the petpets it would give you np, and that wearable lantern from getting the worms the first time gave a lantern that could be sold too.

I got access after doing the worm quest once. I think that's what TNT means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlady Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I got access after doing the worm quest once. I think that's what TNT means. Probably so, you can get np from selling the stuff....I'm not sure about that though? You can get RE's on side accounts, and those items could possibly be sold to get np. I've done the worm quest twice and refreshed like crazy, I still can't get access to the magma pool. I always have terrible luck on the random stuff though.

hrtbrk Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm not too sure if that's what they mean. When the pool was first released, some people were granted access (not because the guard was asleep) without even touching a worm or making a petpet - and they didn't receive neopoints from that interaction either. Plus, as far as we know, creating a petpet involves the worms and has nothing to do with the pool. Sounds like they intended the pool to be a daily, where you can get NPs from it on a regular basis (imo) 'Well versed' has to come into play somehow. Someone needs to crack the code!!

Shadaw the Rampage Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 i didnt get access even though ive done the quest and made several petpets. granted i dont care really {haveing paintbrushes in my gallery tends to assure me any color i want really} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I've done the worm quest quite a few times. (Over 5) And I've created a couple petpets, and I don't have access to the Magma Pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have done the worms quest enough to have one of every single petpet possible in my possession, and I still don't have access to the Magma pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyssa Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 This account was only a few days old, I had no worms or anything and I got access to the Magma Pool. I have no idea if I received NeoPoints or not. If I did, it probably wasn't a significant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikah Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The editorial response says earning access "will" earn you neopoints. Just getting moltite and/or making a petpet doesn't guarantee you'll sell it and make money. I'm thinking that means whatever you have to do to get in makes you neopoints. I'm still thinking it's a game. Cave Glider involves Moltara's caves... But does Igneot have anything to do with it? He's all there and doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose... My theory is still game. But what score???1! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I did get access to the magma pool last week, I think it was. I believe I've done the worm quest 3 or 4 times. My high score in tunnel tumble is 1,027 and I've never played cave glider, it seems. I thought I had but under high score, it says N/A, maybe it's a glitch.

Swim freak Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 for some reason every time I try the worm quest the black worm never shows. It's really beginning to annoy me since I've tried the quest several times but it's never shown up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It can take a looong time to get all the worms - it's usually the black and rainbow worms that come last. Don't know what to tell you other than keep trying at random times throughout the day :) I always keep Moltara open in a separate tab and check on it every so often. EDIT: Just got the rainbow worm ^o^ Only missing the black one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurrealSadi Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I managed to sneak in earlier. Decided to have Striker swim about and become a Magma Xweetok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naeuigeudae Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I painted my ixi magma, but I didn't like the look of magma pets so I repainted him. I've visited there and quite a couple times I could have went in. I don't see how we'll be able to earn neopoints from it. There's also a certain time that you can find each worm.

dragonlady Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 From what I've been reading on the neoboards..... Every user has a different 10 minute window of time, a specific time of day AND day of the week. For example-if mine were today from 2:14-2:24, it would be the same next Tuesday, and ONLY then. Supposedly it has absolutely nothing to do with worms, quests, petpets, igneos, etc. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?? Or is this just more rumor and speculation?

There are multiple five-minute windows where you can collect the worms throughout the day. And they're there every day. For example, I collected my Rainbow Worm from 10:15-10:20 AM every day. I can go there at the same time tomorrow, and it'll be there again. The reason the Rainbow and Black worms are so rare is that there are far fewer five-minute windows where you can collect them than the others. I've only counted about three of each for me.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't too clear on what I was trying to say lol.... I didn't mean the times for the worms, I meant the times for the guard to be awake:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycrazykitten Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I think the tonu is awake at the same time everyday, however, I know you can only paint a pet magma once a week, or else you'll get this: Sorry, your Neopet has already gone for a dip in the Pool. If another of your Neopets wants to splash around in there, you'll just have to come back next week. I've been able to get in with the guard sleeping at around 12:15 AM.

huskrlvr1985 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I found my magma pool time the other day. It's at 7:05pm NST. I forgot to check today to see if I could get in at that time again. I didn't paint a pet, so I'll try again tomorrow and see if the guard sleeps at the same 7:05pm NST window.
