I_LIKES_PI Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Ok before i blurt out something stupid....I'm pretty sure that it's not possible to get retired items without buying from someone else isn't it? Quote
Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 When and item is retired, it is no longer given out on the site...like restocking in shops, REs, etc. But the users that already have the item do not lose it. So that is true. Quote

Domino Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Congrats on the paintbrush! Looks like the price on those is around 2 mil. How'd you get it? Edit: Got it. Well, Congrats! Looks like you can sell that for quite a profit. ^_^ Or just use it. Quote
I_LIKES_PI Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 around the time I joined this site...I had to tell someone yeah well If you can get a LD PB I'm guessing that you can get other PB's previously retired This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules.

Wembly Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 That is very nice prize you got there and very lucky of you but not exactly big news. That is one of the prizes listed for completing the 3rd map of any of the world challenge maps. Quote
I_LIKES_PI Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 but its retired and retired items shouldn't be given out again? Quote
Wembly Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well, here's what TDN lists as possible prizes anyway. Also I think there are a few occasions where retired items get given out like rare item codes and what not, retired doesn't mean it actually disappeared off the face of Neopia anyway...just their silly labels and what not...

livvy Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 That's awesome for you! I worked for a long time to get enough for an LD PB. Congrats to you. :) But like Wemb said, it's not exactly huge news. Still, it's exciting for you! Quote
Anime Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The retired label just means it won't appear is any shops, including the Hidden Tower and Smuggler's Cove. It is possible to get retried items, like some of the PBs, from REs, maps, certian dailies, and I think Keyquest (though I'm not sure of the exact rarity of the PBs it gives out). However, it is still extremely rare to get a PB from anywhere. Congrats! Quote
Angeló Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Retired means it doesn't sell in Neopian "official" shops anymore ... but you can get it via random events or map pieces or goodie bags etc ... The Lost Desert PB used to be a Hidden Tower item ...... Sloth gave me a Draik Trans Potion once and it is retired .... I don't know which shop used to sell it but I think Kauvara ... Quote
