MendedWhisper Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi all, I am trying for the packrat avatar, I have only just started collecting, before I was a bit of a neat freak so most things headed straight for the money tree (might even be close to the trash avatar), but currently I only have: Items: 157 | Qty: 209 If anyone has anything that they want to get rid of, send it my way! I already have most of the trashy stuff from the money tree and trading post, but to get the avatar, I need 1000 different items. :sad01_anim: I already have doubles. Username: kanner90 Thanks a million! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidtheSnail Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Packrat took me like 2 months, just find items on SW that are worth like 1 NP, go to that store and buy all the items under 10 NP, repeat at like 30 stores or so MendedWhisper, life_eclectic, nicolelouise and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflybaby8628 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just do your dailies religiously. I got the avatar within in 3 or 4 months. MendedWhisper and S_A 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_A Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Same here, Sid! I actually saved anything and everything I got from dailies and bought items cheap at The Garage Sale. Fight in the Battledome to acquire different things and only sell duplicates of items. I was even able to get the codestones avie because I had horded one of each!Also, I noticed that you have a bunch of stuff in your gallery. If you don't have those items in your SDB, move those items from your gallery to your SDB until you get the packrat avatar. nicolelouise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerkatty Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I personally just kept every item I got during my dailies until I had 1000 different items, but looking back on it, it can be done a lot faster. Just look for a list of the 1000 cheapest items (Jellyneo has one) and buy them. Youcan probably do it within a couple days with only 10-20k NP spent.

rntracy1 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Another thing someone told me that I never thought of, don't read books to your pets until after you get the avatar. Don't put stamps or cards into your albums, nothing. Keep everything in your SDB. AFTER you get the pack rat avie, then you can read all the books to your pets. I would have had the avie much earlier if I had done that sooner. Just a tid bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorlaxing Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Good luck to you! I'm currently working on packrat as well. Still need 70 items. So close...ugh. But yes to everything everyone else suggested! I moved everything out of my gallery and neodeck into my SDB. Dailies really help, especially grabbing 10 items a day at the money tree. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolelouise Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I didn't know JellyNeo even existed when I got my packrat avatar years ago. Maybe it didn't? Anyway, I only really investigated JellyNeo recently because of the Christmas Wishlist thread and that database would have saved me so much trouble. My daughter got the packrat avvie a couple of months ago and it took us several months of working at it because we didn't know about JellyNeo and she would lose interest in tracking down inexpensive items. I just used to go to shop wizard, look for an item that I already knew was cheap and see if people had other cheap rubbish in their shops that she didn't already have. The dailies helped massively too though. I'll have a look at my SDB and see what I've got lying around but definitely look at JellyNeo.

Musical_Shoyru Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 http://items.jellyneo.net/index.php?go=show_items&name=&name_type=partial&desc=&cat=0&specialcat=0&status=1&rarity=0&sortby=price&numitems=100&ncoff=1 The above link is actually to a list created by JellyNeo with cheap items, it's called the pack-rats ultimate list. Page 20 is only up to items priced around 70 np, so if you got items all the way from page one to 20 you'd have more than enough for the avii. Good luck!

snorlaxing Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'SDB Pack Rat' as an avatar on the NeoBoards! :) What also helped me a lot is going on the Shop Ads boards. There's usually some people advertising 1np shops, or other people working on packrat make a thread & people post their shop links.

nicolelouise Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Same here, Sid! I actually saved anything and everything I got from dailies and bought items cheap at The Garage Sale. Fight in the Battledome to acquire different things and only sell duplicates of items. I was even able to get the codestones avie because I had horded one of each! Also, I noticed that you have a bunch of stuff in your gallery. If you don't have those items in your SDB, move those items from your gallery to your SDB until you get the packrat avatar. In the same way that S_A got her codestone avvie, there are a couple of other 'item' avvies that the OP could get while doing packrat. The 'I'm Smelly' dung avvie and the 'Lawyerbot <3 Usuki' ones come to mind. If you're going to be trying for them anyway at some point, why not bite the bullet, spend the points and have those items contribute to your item count?

blinkk5 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I just messaged you on Neopets with a link to a few trades. It's stuff I don't want, so it's all yours. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
