babblebuth Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Let's see I set a limit If a book is under 1,000 np I will buy a copy for each of my pets However, if it is more expensive I will read it only to my battling pet because I have one item that needs a certain level of intelligence to use. Other than that, I don't think my pet will be getting near a trophy anytime soon
Kuroida Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I have a friend with a neopet with 172 intelligence and I quite frankly don't see the point....but hey, it works for me since I sell her my books and I get to spend that money on other stuff. Intelligence does show up on pet lookups but really, how many people in this world are going to look your pet up when there's millions of others to choose from? o.0
livvy Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I love reading books to my pets. Primarily because I love reading myself. =] I mostly read the Lilianaveranaliciana. I haven't done so in a while though... I used to go out of my way to buy books, but not so much anymore. I still splurge every now and then.
TheNiku Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I don't specifically buy books for my pet to read, but if I get a book that's worth nothing I'll read it to my pet (: Never get those anymore...
flyingeevee Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 As of now, Heaven9004 has 1,319 for intelligence and read 816 books! Yay :D
RobertoLuongo Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 I only buy the cheap books. I'll probably stop when my pet gets to 1000 intel. Edit: And by cheap I mean less than 10k.
techiedarkside Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 If I have a couple copies of the same one I'll but one in my shop, one in my SDB and read one to my pets, I aim to get free intelligence from the Shrine and stuff though
Koitlumm Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I'm trying to get up to 400 intelligence so my pet can use that special tunic in the battledome
clairekundinger Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I started reading my pet books! And I have like 200 read. But for the longest time I just read to her what was given to me or what I won and then randomly I'll buy out books in a shop if I go to a shop looking for something and they have a lot of books! Now I have a book gallery too! Which would be much bigger if I didn't read the books to my pet first and then put the extras in there! I think its a total waste of money... but so is training or avatar collecting! You have to have SOMETHING to spend your money on or you'll just end up a bagillionaire scrooge! :laughingsmiley:
maldoror122 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 I only buy the cheap books. I'll probably stop when my pet gets to 1000 intel. Edit: And by cheap I mean less than 10k. Haha! For me, cheap means less than 2k. :P But yeah, I intend to get my pet to 1000 intelligence :)
Spritzie Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 After this board, I've started reading more books to my pets. I'm going to have my Draik have the highest intelligence. But I have quite aways to go. She's only a total genius (59)
Bun Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Sometimes I do go out of my way to buy books for my zafara. I have spent 100k on a bunch of books on a few occasions. I think it's just because I don't know what to save my neopoints for. I want to try to get onto the high score table for having the most books read one day but I just don't see it happening anytime soon :P I'll still try though!
Gemkitty Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I read books to my pet any time I get a book that's free and is worth less than 1,000 on the shop wizard. Occasionally I will shop for them but not too often. It would be nice to get a trophy for it but that's a ways into the future.
Seliphra Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I read books to Rhedorhan...before that I read them to Darjelle first, but part of their characters is to be intelligent so I figured I might as well. Illoriyan only gets books if the other three have read them first so he's my dumbest pet. If they're worth a ton of neopoints though I'll probly sell them, but only because I'd rather have the morphing potions for my draiks than the intelligence points.
Athene Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 If I get any books I read them to my active. If she has read it I will move to the next pet and so on. If all of them have read it, it's probably really cheap so I donate it. :P I'd sell a book rather than read it to her if it was worth more than about 10k. One day I will probably go out of my way to buy books and build her intelligence, but right now it isn't a priority.
Judge of Paradise Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I remember I blew about 60k on books trying to get my Aisha over 100 I'm now reading free books to all my pets, but I'm trying to keep it that my Aisha is the smartest one.
keithp Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 All of my pets are Master Genius, or higher. I got all my books from the Money Tree! If you go on everyday you can get many books in a week!
Ditalion Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Yes, i like a smart pet. I don't know why. one of my pets has read many books. The other much less
xSilverMistx Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 i dont think i can beet the people on the regular book list, however on the booktastic books i buy as many as i can :evil: under 10 grand whenever i remember that is... i also agree it is mostly for bragging rights, but who doesnt want those? :yes:
cute_kitty Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Yep yep. I read all three of mine tons books. I try to keep them at the same level but it varies a bit depending on which books I get. :)
Telly Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I really should read more books to my pets, but I don't. Why? Because frankly, it seems like a waste of money, as it has no use onsite. I mostly read my pets books that I get for free.
quest_o_matic Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't. I have a pet that's 3,500 days old and still has never read a book. I brag more about that than I would if my pet has read a lot of books. Books are a waste of money, unless they add a perk to reading books. Maybe they could let you have an advantage in certain games if you've read a book about it.
RayHumbert Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I used to read books that I randomly chance upon to my pets, now however, I will just sell books off or store in my SDB as most of the cheap books have already been read by my pets.
generation_apathy Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I'm slowly going to start spending more money on books. I like smart pets :)
Rae Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 My goal has always been to get the book trophy, but unfortunately the only way to get it would be to literally read every book in Neopia, so I've stopped trying as often. But anytime you get a free book totally read them to your pet. I wish they had an avatar for how many books read or SOMETHING to make all the work worthwhile.
