Your biggest Neopets Addiction/NP sink.

Recommended Posts

I don't think there's any topic about this, so lets discuss this:

What is your biggest Neopets addiction/NP sink ? Where do you spend your hard-earned NPs, even if you didn't need to?

 

Mine are the wheels, especially the big Wheel of Extravagance. I lost an app. 500 000NPs in the last five days, but I still spin it - and not for the avatar, mostly because of the excitement and adrenaline :yes: An no, I DO NOT have a gambling problem :whistle:

 

So, share your dirty little secrets :evil:

 

EDIT: ALL ADDICTIONS COUNT, not only NP related! You now, a problem is a problem .. *stuffs chocolate in mouth* not that I have any .. :whistle:

Lol, you amuse me. :)

 

Hmm, I don't really have any. The dailies in general, I guess. I feel like stabbing myself when I go to buried treasure (and get nothing!) and all the wheels and caravan. The daily 15,000 - 18,000 I spend on stocks kills me too, because they usually all fall. When they don't though... for example, I just sold 1,000 stocks for 40,000, though I purchased them at 15,000. ^_^

 

I'm not much of a spender, really. Can't afford to, when I don't play games. :/

I have two... Food Club, and Neodeck cards.

 

I would say that Neodeck cards is worse because I have spent over 400k on them. Food club is only 2100 neopoints or something like that. But overall is pretty expensive. I now have more neodeck cards than avatars. :whistle:

At least you never lose if you don't sell! I'm also a stock addict so that's definitely the thing I spend the most on. I have way more NP invested in stocks than I've ever had in my bank account at one time.

 

And I used to do the Wheel of Extravagance for the avatar, but I need to save up collateral for other avvies...and it was really killing my savings <_<

*Clicks on trading post* "Must stay away from trading post..." *lots and lots of nps later* "what only 5000? NOOOOOOOO!"

This is where I spend my money, often on stuff I don't need. :laughingsmiley:

If it had to be an item I would have to say, CLOTHES! I LOVE buying clothes for my pets! Exleast they look pretty... :king:

Lolz, my addiction is that I tend to SAVE a lot and never wanna spend it xD

 

I usually dislike when I buy something expensive and then I'm left with next to nothing o.o

 

After I hit the 10 mil mark though, watch me spin some more wheels just the avatars though xD

Dubloons and Kougra stuff. I buy the Dubloons as I want to make a one thousand neopoint coin and the Kougra stuff, well it's for my gallery.

 

Also, saving up for FQD for lending and for my gallery. And all the dolls I need for that gallery are WELL over a millino. One of them being 40 mil. :sad01_anim:

 

My problem is collecting. That's my NP sink.

 

I collect Stamps, Avatars, Cards, Kougra stuff, Neggs...

 

*le sigh*

TO be honest, I have no problem with painting my pets. I've never used a paint brush and althoguh I have dream pets, I've never really BADLY BADLY WANTED one before. Let's jsut say, if I just hit ym 10mil mark, I wouldn't take it all out to buy a paintbrush.

My addiction: customising. I am probably the ONLY veteran (7 1/2 years) who likes customising and is actually even additcted to it. Yes, I make NC runs all the time, a guilty pleasure, but I also use NP items as well, in fact a dream wearable of mine is one of the undersea backgrounds that are unbuyable. I want it for my Koi. Perhaps more than one even for a dream Maraquan pet.

Avatars. Need I say more?

 

...Yes, I need to say more, since that was only five words.

 

I'm an avatar collector, and yes, I've sunk TONS of np into avatars. I've lost millions in lending and trying to get lent. I bought those three Hidden Tower books, which wasted 11,100,000 np. I gave up on the Wheel of Extravagance for now because I never seemed to get anything from it--I would always land on 25,000 or 0. And now I'm saving up to buy BGC.

 

(I've also painted pets into the correct avatar pet and then lent out the pet but lost it nearly immediately every time. I made a beautiful Halloween Lupe named Demon_of_Moonlight and then tried to lend, but it was before transfers were possible, and I lost him to someone who nearly immediately afterward left the site forever. BAH. I liked that one, too.)

I am the same way with stocks. I always figure that they'll rise a few points from the 15,000 I buy them at but after I buy them they just plummet immediately. I occasionally make a little money but I don't think it evens out. :/

For me, it's buying Codestones just to power up my Kiko's statistics, but I stopped months ago when I discovered that Faerie Quests can really help out in the long run. Also, my other one was helping out my Chocolate gallery, but I'll continue after I get that Royal PB for my Poogle.

At least I don't have addictions involving NPs so if I only had the time to play games daily I would be able to make a few more millions in the shortest amount of time. First addiction are a few dailies - collecting my interest, visiting coltzan's shrine, the lab ray, the forgotten shore, shooing the kraken away from Krawk Island. I would walk through the desert just to be able to doing my dailies.

The second addiction at least only can be lived once a year for the duration of one month. Speaking of the Altador Cup. If I hadn't to do such interrupting things like eating, drinking, sleeping or going to work I would play 24/7. During that time my eating and sleep behaviour always drastically has to change.
