bob_xxx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I want to know how can you tell a duped/genned item from a real one. I heard the ID is different, can someone explain how to actually figure this out, because I think I might have been duped by someone.

Duma Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have no idea either, but I've been searching around and although I can't find any information about a different ID, I did found these pages with more info about all kinds of scams: http://www.neopets.com/~carpedeum#np http://www.neopets.com/~lupemoneycounter How exactly do you think you have been duped? Maybe we can find out more that way. That what you speak of sounds like something that was a problem in the past, but I haven't really heard of it recently. If you think the item ID is different from real items, you could check it. We have information about finding the ID's here. paperdoll66 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_xxx Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ya this just tells you how to find the ID number, but how do you tell if the ID number is of a real item or duped? Or will the ID of a duped item differ from a real one, while all the real ones will have the same ID? Like for instance I want to see if my Item ID is the same as someone else's. But the item I have is a unbuyable and therefore I cannot search it on shop wiz or someone's lookup, how can I see if its the same? Will I have to ask them personally?

paperdoll66 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 As far as I know, the ID is the only way that you might be able to tell the difference between a generated item and a normal one. It should behave the same as a normal item. I don't know if this will make finding information any easier, but I think it was a much bigger thing seven to nine years ago. Good luck! I hope you don't have too much invested in this item! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtbrk Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't think you have anything to worry about as it was stopped years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 For future reference, there is not an easy way to find an item number for an unbuyable. NeoItems used to have them, but that site is dead now. I know that JellyNeo collects ID numbers for their Item Database. Someone there might be able to tell you. You could also try finding someone with that item in their gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emily_speck_15 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 sorry, but what exactly is a "dupped" or "genned" item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 sorry, but what exactly is a "dupped" or "genned" item? Genned is just an abbreviation for generated. Developers have innocent uses for the term, but cheaters in various games use it to refer to an item that the user obtained through a glitch or exploit. On Neopets, it is identical to an existing item, and it behaves the same. You cannot accidentally create a genned item, but it is possible to purchase or trade for one without knowing. The ID number is the only way that you might be able to tell the difference. It can also be used as a pretty flexibly. People might also be referring to an item involved in some kind of site-wide glitch. I haven't heard about this happening for years, but cheating groups used to suddenly start making tons of duped items. People would make super expensive things like Super Attack Peas, Draik Morphing Potions, MSPP trading cards, and other things like that. Some of the items were sent to users to get them banned. Battledome Chat would pretty much implode. Even though you don't hear about it too much anymore, the legend is that some of these items are still floating around.
