toastie Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Gosh, I feel like it's impossible to get! Restockers are so quick that I barely even ever see an item that's of a high enough rarity let alone have a chance to buy it. S: Speaking of avatars, Turmy's awake right now if anyone wants to risk their petpet. P: 7 - 8 nst Quote
Hanako Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I want that avatar too, but I gave up after a month of trying! Maybe I should go for it again... Quote
Tank Girl Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I got that one a couple of months ago, was really really lucky! It's definitely one of my favourites :D Good luck, I hope you get it ^_^ Quote
Airotia Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Ugh ugh ugh. I tried so hard for that avatar for like, a week and then rage-quit. XD I knew nothing of auto-buyers and then someone mentioned it to me whilst ranting on Neoboards, and I was like: .... RAAAAGE QUIT. So I haven't tried since. -_-, I really really ought to. And ooh! Ooh! I just recently got the Turmy avvie. :D :D It's so shiny and... Well. Facing facts, I'll probably never use it. But it's nice towards my count. c: Quote
toastie Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Yupp! Those pesky autobuyers S: Sometimes I think about staying up until 4am or something and hoping that maybe the restocking nuts will die down and I'll have a better chance! I'm pretty good with catching Turmy when he wakes up but he's yet to eat a petpet. The luck/chance ones are always frustrating to me, I'm horrible at Kiss the Mortog somehow so I've yet to get that avatar. Quote
Alexandria Patton Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I never see anything of the rarity required either, I fail at restocking... My friend has been trying really hard to no avail. I would try but eh, impossible! However... I do love chocolate! Quote
huskrlvr1985 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I've been looking into this avatar, but after reading how hard it is to get due to the auto-buyers and fast restockers, I doubt I'll ever get it. Quote
youngrace Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 i feel really fortunate now, i somehow squeaked by with getting this one in my first day of trying. @__@ granted this was a few years ago, so i guess the restockers weren't as hardcore back then. definitely try late at night/early morning, which is when i got mine (and how i fed my one and only kadoatie <_< ). you'll get it in no time i'm sure; good luck!

hrtbrk Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I got this avatar after minimal effort. Basically stalk the shop for a few weeks to get a feel for good/bad rarities. Next, wait until half price day. The shop moves WAY faster and the chances of you seeing more R90 items in the time you're online is much higher. Don't look at the item picture, or the name, just look at the price. Have 5000 already copied so as soon as you see the price point of 5,000 nps, you can paste it in. After stalking the shops for a few weeks, there was one time that I had almost got the avatar when it wasn't half price day but i stupidly typed in 50,000 instead of 5,000 lol Quote
dasavo Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I never even tried for the chocolate factory avatar yet. I really hate restocking. And what are autobuyers? I never heard of that before. I got Turmy a few years ago I think. I'd follow a guide for when Turmy is awake, so I would try every day. Even going every day it took me quite a while to get it though. Quote
Tigerlily Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Some good advice in this thread...I think I'll have to give this avvie a proper go sometime soon, but I truly despise restocking - the refreshing bores me to no end! Quote
Angeló Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 It's not impossible . Just as Hrtbrk said , I got it on half-price day .. wasn't even paying attention to the Rarity .. I just liked the item (Chocolate Balthazar) and bought it for 2500 np :wub_anim: Quote
Sakabato Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Some good advice in this thread...I think I'll have to give this avvie a proper go sometime soon, but I truly despise restocking - the refreshing bores me to no end! Same here, I'm really tired of refreshing over and over again, only to see the same old common items. Quote
toastie Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the advice guys! I'll try and go for it again. (: Quote
hrtbrk Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 It's not impossible . Just as Hrtbrk said , I got it on half-price day .. wasn't even paying attention to the Rarity .. I just liked the item (Chocolate Balthazar) and bought it for 2500 np :wub_anim: DERP! Yes, have 2500 on copy and look for 2,500 - not 5,000 LOL! Quote
Nika Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the advice about half price day! I thought it would be harder then because more people are in the shops. I've been trying to get the avatar for a while now, and all I've got to show for it are great resell items. I guess it's one of those (extremely) rare avatars that actually require you to make money instead of spend it. PS as a student I'm always up at all hours, and somehow that shop moves fast at all times, even past 4 am where I go to school. I went to Europe though and it occurred to me, hey, I'm 9 hours ahead and in the chocolate shop... no wonder it moves all the time! Quote
youber12 Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Lately all the neopian shops have been stocking much slower than they used to (probably due to fewer users restocking in shops overall), so I agree with the above advice to try on half price day. Restocking is the main thing I do on neopets so this was one of the first avatars I got. Patience is key and getting it is easier than it appears to be. Quote
daisy08 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I've tried for this avatar a few times and rarely seen any 5000 np stuff. I'll have to try the half price day tip. Quote
toastie Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Hmm, I tried on half-price day and the stuff that was rare enough still seemed to be priced around 5000 np. S: It was frustrating and I didn't manage to nab anything that would get me the avatar, but I made some decent np by restocking. Quote
Angeló Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 well , just keep trying , don't give up ... it's mostly luck ... Quote
Scarlet Fever Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I'm right there with you on that one. It's a toughy...funny considering the act itself is anything but difficult. Quote
behati Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I hate trying to get this avatar because a] I keep being beat by autobuyers last second, b] I'm just a horrible restock time keeper. I don't have the patience =.= I still don't have it. QQ Quote
Alynniae Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 i decided to start a chocolate-gallery, so i just keep trying, and i'll buy every cool-looking chocolate item so... i just keep trying until i accidently( :laughingsmiley:) buy a rare one :king: Quote
toastie Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 Aw, the chocolate gallery's a good idea! Great motivation. :D Yeah, I get pretty impatient too. Refreshing gets boring real quick haha. Quote
nbbug132 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I want the chocolate one so so so badly. I WORK in a chocolate factory, so I think I deserve the avvie. XD Every time I try for it though I end up giving up in disgust. *sigh* Quote
