jesse_rocket Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Earlier today, my little daughter came to me all upset. Her: "Mummy, my Anisha [she can't accept the word Aisha, for some reason] turned into a horrid Ex-Weetok" Me: "Xweetoks are cute, though" Her: "This is a horrid Ex-Weetok! I want my Anisha back!" So I went to look, and it turns out her Aisha had indeed turned into a Mutant Xweetok. Which I think is pretty cool, but my daughter is 6, and is all about the cute. So I was all like "How on earth did you do that?" and she has like NO idea. I know that she didn't accidentally buy a Xweetok t'mog potion, she doesn't have enough NP for that, especially given that she'd just spent almost everything the had in the bank on a Christmas paint brush (which she had used on the Aisha). I asked her if she'd used some kind of potion that she didn't know what it was for, on her Aisha, in case she'd been given it by a random event, but she said she didn't. She doesn't have the lab map, her account is only 3 months old and she's never had enough NP at any given time to buy that. So, wth? Anyone know of any random events that just like, do that (change colour AND species)? Or is it just that she's 6 years old and doesn't fully know what she's doing and must have accidentally slipped a t'mog potion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 There are events that change pets to a random color, but there are no species changing events. So I don't think there's any way it could have been a RE. Otherwise, I would bet on a Transmog potion. How she got one, I don't know, but that has to be the only way. EDIT: I just had a thought. Can you check her avatars? If she used a Transmog potion, she would have received the Mutant Jubjub avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 In the early years of my account I got a RE giving me a Xweetok Transmogrification potion - which being an idiot I sold for 50k or something as I didn't understand the Trading Post! But anyhoo - coould she have got a 'lucky' RE and fed it to her pet? EDIT: Unfortunately you don't appear to be able to paint Xweetoks Christmas either...but if she can make it non mutant then Xweetoks are pretty...

jesse_rocket Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 EDIT: I just had a thought. Can you check her avatars? If she used a Transmog potion, she would have received the Mutant Jubjub avatar. Good thinking! I just checked her avs and sure enough, Mutant JubJub is there. She must have just not known what she was doing. And Secre, yeah, I guess that must have been what happened, that same LE *nods* Well, that's that mystery solved. Thanks guys! <33 Edit!!: Yeah, we used one of her newbie paint brushes and turned the Xweetok yellow, and she's a bit pleased with it now. I just explained to her that she must have (used the potion), because of that avatar, and she admitted sheepishly that she "just wanted to know what it would do". So it turns out we were just dealing with child psychology and how they like to lie for no reason. Yay! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Haha what a great story...for a moment there I thought we had a new vicious RE on our hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you didn't accidentally give a Bori Trans potion to your Lenny... Well, at least I got an avatar out of it. xD And I'm sorry it turned into a Xweetok, but I'm glad she likes it now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Oh man. For a second I thought there was a new RE out that turns pets into mutant (Which would be awesome. You know how much money that would save for me?) XD Too bad it turned into a xwee. If your daughter still doesn't like it Aisha morphing potions are about 400K....which is a lot :S But it'll get you another avatar :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay! :D Lol, know all you need to do is make sure that she knows you are a genius who has all the answers...and that it might save a fair few tears if she asks you next time! Typical children though! Glad it's all worked out now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBeluga Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yea, i love the mutant pets, they just look so weird :) but i almost never get random events, and if i do, its like "you just found 1np!" or "The pant devil stole all your money" :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Same here, Neopets REs and dailies really hate me :D. Mutant pets are awesome-some of them almost look like UC pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoologynerd Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 REs are nice when theyre good. otherwise just annoying. really hoping sloth visits me soon though! id love a transmog. regardless of what i get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
