aerial Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hello(: So, I just got my Neopets membership 2 days ago & I was trying to 'snipe' items using the Super Shop Wizard (to be called SSW from now on to shorten). However, when trying to search for things like: Average Nerkmid, Maraquan PB, Krawk Transmogrification Potions etc, I got a message that says, " Searching for 'Krawk Transmogrification Potion', matching 'Krawk Transmogrification Potion'...Sorry, You are not allowed to search for "Krawk Transmogrification Potion" in the Super Wiz." My account is roughly 45 days old. I'm not sure if that is relevant but? If anyone could pretty please explain this to me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you for taking the time to read my post & I hope you are all having a great day!(: Below is the screen I get when trying to search above mentioned items.

hrtbrk Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 There are certain items you are not allowed to use the SSW on such as nerkmids, paint brushes, petpet paint brushes, transmogrifications potions, and lab map pieces etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerial Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thank you for the super quick response(: That's so weird because I was following a Sniping How To page & I guess they need to update their page because Nerkmids, Map Pieces, PBs & Trans. Potions was literally what the entire entry was about...lmao I guess my question now is, what should I 'snipe' for using the SSW?

Rune Valentine Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 From our SSW guide : Quote Non-Searchable Items Since Neopets found that this could cause some issues and gives premium members an unfair advantage they have placed the following restrictions onto what items you can not search for: transmogrification potions, petpet paintbrushes, regular paintbrushes, and laboratory map pieces. You will receive an error message like the one below, except customized to the item you searched. 2 The screenshots are of the old SSW, but the restrictions remain the same. You aren't allowed to use SSW to search for those items because, eons ago, TNT promised that having Premium on Neopets will not overpower the Non-premium users with regards to earning NP. hrtbrk and jellysundae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome, and very typical of TNT's ethos back in the day. I'd be so intrigued to know how JS feels about this though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny though, considering that having a premium account DOES allow you to earn way more np... I get nerkmids like crazy from the premium battledome. The space faerie is also usually quite generous about random events, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmerasta Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 How do you search for those items then? If you genuinely wanted to buy map pieces for instance or a transmogrification potion not to resell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in my post on @aerial's other board, the regular shop wiz doesn't have item search restrictions, so you can search for nerkmids, pbs, etc. on there. That's mainly for sniping, though. A lot of those things (some lab map pieces, many/most transmog potions) are UB (unbuyable--they cost 100k or more, so they can't be sold in user shops). So you'll do better finding them on the Trading Post or Auctions. sophie24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when TNT was trying to make the game enjoyable and still somewhat profitable. Unlike now but, I digress. The SSW can still be used for stamps, neggs, gourmets. It's not a total loss if you know what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had premium and never really knew all the ins and outs. I just assumed that if you had premium, your SW access just became SSW access. I've considered getting premium but then I lost my first account and never got it back and I took a long hiatus from Neo. Then when I came back, people were having problems with billing and there's the law suit etc and I just didn't feel confident getting an account. I've been toying with the idea again tho... but I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just barely use it, because why would you? xD The SSW is in a little toolbar at the bottom of the page, as you can see in the screenshot in @aerial's original post. You still find the regular SW in the normal spot in the shops area. I highly advocate for the premium account, it's a lot cheaper than premium accounts on many other games, and it really does make your Neo experience more enjoyable imo. In fact, I remember writing about all of this a while ago in a separate thread... yep, HERE, in case you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmerasta Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thanks for the info @kayahtik. I read your previous post as well... something to think about some more lol. I think I'll try it for a month first and see. Sometime soon. Yeah sometimes I take a while to decide to do something as I have to over think it and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
