Training your Neopets is not as simple as it might first appear. It’s a process that requires careful planning, dedication, and a solid investment of time and Neopoints. Unlike other aspects of the game, training your pets isn’t something that can be completed in an afternoon—it takes patience, strategy, and a bit of financial commitment. So, what does training your Neopets involve? How do you go about improving their stats and unlocking their full potential?
In this guide, I’ll break down everything you need to know about the training process, including the different training courses available, how they work, and tips for making the most out of your pet’s training regimen. Whether you’re aiming to increase your pet’s strength, defense, or other important stats, I’ll walk you through each step, so you can make informed decisions and successfully level up your pets for battles and other activities in the Neopets world. Let’s dive into the world of pet training and set your Neopets on the path to greatness!
HOW TO LEVEL UP ON NEOPETS
Leveling up your Neopets is essential for success in the Battledome and for unlocking powerful abilities that can help during tough battles. Whether you’re trying to defeat stronger enemies or simply want to boost your pet’s stats, knowing how to level up efficiently is key. There are multiple methods to gain levels, and choosing the right one can save time and Neopoints.
The most common way to level up your Neopets is by attending the Mystery Island Training School or the Swashbuckling Academy on Krawk Island. These schools allow you to train using codestones or dubloons, depending on the school. The Mystery Island Training School is faster but more expensive, requiring codestones for each course. On the other hand, the Swashbuckling Academy is slower but uses dubloons, which are generally cheaper. This makes the pirate school a popular starting point for leveling up Neopets at lower levels.
Aside from training schools, participating in the Battledome can help you level up your Neopets. Battling opponents like the S750 Kreludan Defender Robot has a chance to reward you with codestones, making it a great way to save on training costs while also boosting your pet’s stats. Additionally, daily visits to Coltzan’s Shrine can sometimes result in level-ups or stat increases. This random reward system is an easy and cost-free way to potentially gain a level.
The Fastest Way to Level Up on Neopets
If you’re looking for the fastest way to level up your Neopets, Faerie Fortune Cookies from the NC Mall are your best bet. These cookies can grant your pet bonus stats or levels, allowing for rapid growth in a short period. Pairing these cookies with regular training can significantly speed up the leveling process. Additionally, keeping only one pet on your account can help concentrate all stat and level rewards from daily quests or events onto a single pet, accelerating its growth.
Another fast method is to engage in Kitchen Quests. While these quests require you to gather items, the rewards often include levels and stat boosts. It’s an efficient way to level up your Neopets without relying solely on the training schools.
For players on a budget, battling the S750 Kreludan Defender Robot is a practical alternative. With a low difficulty rating and the chance to drop codestones, this method allows for regular battles that contribute to your pet’s level and stats over time. Combine this with daily visits to Coltzan’s Shrine and you have a solid routine for leveling up Neopets quickly and efficiently.
Leveling Up Through Faerie Quests and Random Events
Faerie Quests are another excellent way to level up Neopets. When a faerie randomly appears and offers a quest, completing it often results in stat boosts or even level increases. The Fountain Faerie Quest is especially valuable as it can change your pet’s color and grant stat boosts. Additionally, some random events on the site may directly increase your pet’s level, making it beneficial to stay active and engaged with the site.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to maximize your pet’s potential, knowing how to level up your Neopets can make all the difference. By using training schools, daily activities, and special items, you can steadily improve your pet’s stats and dominate the Battledome. Remember to explore different strategies and find the method that works best for your goals and budget.
MYSTERY ISLAND TRAINING SCHOOL
| Course Type | Neopet Level | Cost | Length |
| Grasshopper | 20 and Under | 1 codestone | 2 hours |
| Basic | 21-40 | 2 codestones | 3 hours |
| Intermediate | 41-80 | 3 codestones | 4 hours |
| Adept | 81-100 | 4 codestones | 6 hours |
| Advanced | 101-120 | 5 codestones | 8 hours |
| Expert | 121-150 | 6 codestones | 12 hours |
| Master | 151-200 | 7 codestones | 18 hours |
| Grand Master | 201-250 | 8 codestones | 24 hours |
You must pay in codestones. What are those you ask? They are “rare” stones used as “payment”. You can find them from Random Events, win them from tombola, and even buy them from the Shop Wizard. These can become mightly costly!
- Strength: Semi-important.
- Defence: Not very important.
- Agility: Your speed, somewhat important.
- Endurance: Also known as your health. Very important.
- Level: Do not make your level too high. Make it half of each of your stats (see training note below to understand). The higher your pet level, the more codestones you have to purchase and pay with!
Training Note: Here at the Mystery Island Training School, you may train your endurance to three times your level. However, if you wish to train any of the other attributes, you will need to train your level back up to within half of your endurance.
- Example: If your pet is level 50, with strength 75, and endurance 120, and you wish to train in strength, you will need to get your level up to half of your endurance, which in this case would be 60 (120 / 2 = 60).
To put your pet through the course, select which pet and course you want to put it through. Your master will then ask for a codestone. Buy that codestone, come back, go to “status” and pay for it. Some codestones vary on the prices, but they’re around 5, 000 neopoints each. Pretty costy!

| Pirate | 21-30 | 5 Dubloons | 8 hours |
| Cap’n | 31-40 | 5 Dubloons | 10 hours |
You must pay in dubloons. What are those you ask? They are “rare” coins used as “payment”. You can find them from Random Events, win them from games and dailies, and even buy them from the Shop Wizard. These can become mightly costly!

MYSTERY ISLAND TRAINING SCHOOL
You must pay in codestones. What are those you ask? They are “rare” stones used as “payment”. There are only two ways we know of on how to get a red codestone. You can either purchase one from the Shop Wizard or go to the volcano. You must collect every single regular codestone (the yellow ones: main, lu etc.) and visit the Volcano. Once you have all ten, it will give you a red codestone, which is completely random, meaning you can get any red codestone.
LAB, QUESTS, RANDOM EVENTS, AND ITEMS
The lab ray, quests, and using items, have proven to be quite an efficent way to train your pet up. Certainly takes less time then going through training schools, but can be a bit more expensive in the long run. There are neggs and points to help raise your points. 🙂 Also, random events can help raise stars.
