Octopus Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Does anyone know whether the Dark Lurker Avatar has retired yet? If not, how many restocks does it generally take? Quote
Rae Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I tried getting it on my side account yesterday and I couldn't get it. I'm not sure if it's temporarily retired or not though since it took a few tries on my Main account. TNT did say that it might be gone soon after it was released so it might be like Bonju. Quote
onime_no_kai Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Urm, not to be a party pooper...but since you have to restock to get the avatar, you shouldn't be getting it on sides -- even if the NP came from your main, restocking is an activity that can earn NP and is therefore not allowed on sides (with the exception of the Almost Abandoned Attic/Hidden Tower if you have a side that is old enough but your main is not; that is the only loophole though.) I wouldn't worry about it too much if you already did, just thought I'd point it out in the hopes of preventing people from getting in trouble. :worried: Quote
Octopus Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 I know, I got the avatar when I was debating between starting over on a side account or waiting to see whether TNT would fix my main >.<. Quote
onime_no_kai Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I know, I got the avatar when I was debating between starting over on a side account or waiting to see whether TNT would fix my main >.<. Oh noes! Well in a situation like that I definitely wouldn't worry about it. ;) TNT understands that it's not like you had any way of knowing whether you'd get the account back or not. My thought was more to point it out in case some random person read the thread and was like "Ohey we can get that av on sides? Well then I'm going to get it on all 4 of mine!!"...because that probably wouldn't end well. >.< Glad you got your main back! Quote
Octopus Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks! I guess I should reword my question :) Quote
Kuroida Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 so...did you get it? o.0 If yes then congrats. If no then I think you still can. No one's said anything about when you can't. The lastest person I know who got it was on Nov 4th.... Quote
Octopus Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 Not yet. But it's been ten days since then, and I don't know how much I'm willing to spend for it just in case it's gone. Maybe I'll haunt the spooky food shop for a while, hehe... Quote
onime_no_kai Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 As far as I'm aware it's still available (though I could be wrong; hopefully if I am someone will correct me. :P) I can say, though, that it's somewhat random. You have a good chance of getting it, but it's not guaranteed -- I think it took me three tries before I got it; which, from what I saw on the boards when it first came out, seems to be about average. You might get lucky and get it on the first try, but I'd say expect to try at least 2 or 3 times. Good luck! Quote
Octopus Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 Edit: I got it on my fourth try! Maybe the shopkeepers were mad because I haggled too much on the first three... Quote
Kuroida Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 lol. Congrats! I got mine on the 7th-8th try (can't remember anymore)....it might have been because I only bought one really cheap item until it was sold out o.0 Quote
Angeló Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 as far as i know it's still available , but since almost everyone has it , the number of new people getting it is less .. I would recommend asking on the neopets avatar board if someone got it lately :king: Quote
