Wow I definitely feel like I have no chance of making it onto the Most Generous list. I am donating some things, though. It's as good an excuse as any to empty out my sdb some. I just hope I get some pretty decent rewards to make up the cost of the items donated. I don't really know how I feel about the whole thing to be honest.

This is kinda fun!

 

I'm not going bananas donating toys or anything as I usually discard by default, so I figure I've made up for it there. Don't really have any interest in getting R80 items (because lbr, the R90s are too inflated) so I'll just participate in the fun riddles.

 

It's a cute way to clear up the servers of these dumb junk items.

 

And TBH, I don't think you WANT to be on the top list because TNT wants hoarders to trash their stuff or Richie Riches to spend their moolah.

Not that I'm quite on the top list (though if nr. 10 keeps hanging at 310 for a while, I might be there in a few hours), but so far I'm standing at about 90k profit while having sold only two of the items I have gotten so far. NP-only and having only done maybe four donations with items from my SDB, so if things keep going this way for me... XD

 

(If I add the net worth of items I have yet to sell, and the cost of books I could now give my pet for free but normally would have had to pay for, I'm probably standing at around 250-300k profit)

It looks really suspicious for the number one donor to have given over 700 items already and the second most is in the 400s...

 

I'm going to do a few donations I think but I doubt I'll go crazy over buying and giving to the event thing.

 

Here's my tag:

 

 

Seasons greetin's! I reckon 'tis time to come clean about our governor. I be a resident of Krawk Island, or I was until the island was destroyed 'n put back together all wrong. Some wee islands still be floating alone on the drink, my friend. My home be on one of 'em. The good governor missed it, so as king of my own tiny island, I need a few things to run me kingdom, namely some toffees. I like the hat-shaped ones. Also lip balm, but nothing pink, mind you. A new flag for my yard would be shiny. I've got a hankering for some crisps: the black ones, if you please. And last, a Flotsam plushie, nice and piratey, to remind me of me ol' captain.

 

I'm bad at riddles so any help would be nice. I got the flotsam plush and the pirate hat toffees so far figured out. The toffees are rather expensive...

Looks like everyone has the same riddle.

 

"toffees. I like the hat-shaped ones" -> "Pirate Hat Toffees"

"lip balm, but nothing pink, mind you" -> "Pirate Lip Balm"

"new flag for my yard" -> "Outdoor Pirate Flag"

"crisps: the black ones, if you please" -> "Pirate Potato Crisps"

"Flotsam plushie, nice and piratey" -> "Pirate Flotsam Plushie".

some previously 1np plushies are already inflated to 10k ! thanks a lot , TNT !!! & what did i get in return ? a Splime Chia Pop worth 200NP. Thx but no Thx i'm not taking part in this fiasco again. I donated cuz I thought there might be an avatar. Another event made for people with stuffed SDB's .. there's no way i can donate 300 times

I can totally feel your frustration. I'll try the daily, but I've only got items in the 70-89 rarity range. (Well, I do have 5 90+ rarity toys, but 3 of them are selling for ~20k each!!! I ain't willing to give those up for donation!)

You mean each day? I looked for the answers here but didn't see it.

 

And I just figured it out after I posted LOL but thank you!

 

AUGH. WENT TO GO BUY THE ITEM AND IT KEPT TELLING ME IT WASN'T FOUND. Yet I flipping bought it and didn't check my inventory so I bought too many pirate lip balms. If anyone wants one, I have two extra then.

 

And I finally completed it. Got a book from it. :D

Okay, OMG OMG I was blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just donated five rarity 80-89 items (basically junk, 3 Pink Snorkle Usuki Sets and 2 Darigan Faellie Action Figures) and I got "Fancy Floral Zafara Bouquet" selling for ~ 15k!!!!

Is this for real???!!!

I have all the correct items selected for the adoption task, but the Donate button doesn't let me click it. I keep moving the items around, and putting them back in the order from the clue, etc. It just won't work. So frustrating. (Edit: The toy donation task is working fine for me, so I don't think it's just a browser issue.)

Pirate Hat Toffees are now at over 90000 nps so i think i will bow out of that one :(

Yeah it's kind of unfair but expected. I fully expect to see other things do similar.

 

I just finished my second donation. It's nice to get some of these items out of my SDB. Since I have no reason to keep a lot of these plushies ever since I hit my SDB goal. If I get less than 2500 unique in my SDB again it might be fun to work at the goal once more. :D

can't tell if good freak out or not, 15k isn't a lot to me so there's the uncertainty on my end. lol
Also I'm using jellyneo to reference what rarity my items are all in one session (by "writing" item and rarity down on notepad) then gathering and donating. It's not the cleanest system but it's a system.

delicious waffles - are you getting little ticks or crosses under the items that you're putting in? Sometimes i have to wait a min before a tick/cross comes up and then i fill out the other boxes (waiting after each) and then the donate button become clickable. Hope that helps?

Yes, this can happen. I've actually had this problem for days with the Coincidence. I think it's on TNT's end and it might have something to do with the laggy site. Just now when I tried to donate, I clicked once nothing, I clicked twice waiting for a second and then I got lucky! If this happens to you, try refreshing, clicking a few times and just waiting it out.

I'm quite certain that for a respected Neopian like yourself, some measly 15k is like air :P

But for me, a profit of 15k without me having to waste more than a minute is like GOLD :laughingsmiley:

I don't know about respected... ( :P ) but yeah it is kinda small. Congratulations! I didn't mean to make it sound patronizing or anything. I know it took me ages to get to 9mil and hold onto it. I've held onto it for years, too scared to spend. XD

 

I have over 500 items in the toy category this is gonna take a while...

500 toys? Ooooohhhh maaaan, you're gonna get so rich! :P

 

P.S. I'm such a scrooge, closing in on 5mil, but still too afraid to spend it. Even 1000 free NP are quite a big thing to me! By the time I reach 10mil though, I'm going to spend them on customizing my pets and I'm so gonna enjoy it!

That entirely depends on what the toys are worth when it comes to this little event, tho. I get over 2k in interest a day, almost 3k. lol

 

As my siggy states I have more than 2,500 items in my SDB that are unique.

 

I just get scared when I have a lot of money, in real life or in a video game. Like if I spend it then oh no something will happen and I'll wish I hadn't spent the money. Or I get guilty for being able to buy a nice thing for myself when I have friends who can't (but they refuse to let me buy them anything which doesn't really ease my guilt so...)

I've been buying up <100 NP toys for a bit now and have gotten an assortment of rewards- a number of books and stamps of decent rarity, an Evening Draik Dress (was going for about 200k but I doubt that'll last...) and other species wearables...

 

It looks like, while there's obviously a fair number of random junky food items in the prize mix, there's also a lot of good items that are in desperate need of deflation. And the prize pool is so huge that it's not going to make everything in it inherently worthless- I've done 52 trade ins and I haven't gotten any duplicates so far as I remember, and I've seen things listed on SunnyNeo that I haven't gotten.

 

It IS unfortunate about the riddle items inflating so badly. They're all common enough that there should be plenty in existence, but unfortunately there seem to be a lot of.... less than kind people who prefer profit to people having fun.

Well, I just made 45k because of this inflation and frankly, I couldn't be more pleased!!! :) I'll be taking a looong break from Neo due to real life soon and this week is my last chance to reach my 5mil goal.

I'm aware of that. I'm also aware my luck has never been good at all. And I refuse to buy more items to donate, so I have a finite number of chances.

Hoping I get some good stuff since there's at least 10 donations (closer to 20 i think I haven't counted cause i go crosseyed when i try to count things in a list). I was hoping it might be dependent on average rarity or something but I guess not. It's just pure dumb luck.

It still isn't working (I'm not seeing any ticks), but thanks for the reply. At least now I know what to look for! Hopefully, I'm just having bad luck because of the lag.

Shane, I do believe the prizes must be (random BUT) rarity related, at least that's what I heard. Why do you think otherwise?

I'd say try to donate items in the 80-89 range or 90-99 together respectively. I read somewhere on the Help Board that donating rarity 90+ items gives you rarity 90+ rewards.
