Just can’t find what you’re looking for using the shop wizard? Or what you’re looking keeps showing up as 100,000 or more? Then the trading post is what you’ll need to use.

There are two ways to get to the Trading Post.

The first and probably quickest is to use the main navigation bar to the left. Click on Shops. This brings you to Neopia Central and the Shops & Auctions main page. Now see the Neopia Central navigation bar, there’s a little icon in the shape of Jhuidah’s head (the one in between the Bank and Money Tree.) Thats the trading post icon.

The second way to get to the trading post is to use the Mystery Island world map. You can find it by clicking Explore on the lefthand navigation then select Mystery Island. Once you’ve pulled up the map click on the trading post.

Click on Browing Lots. Lets use Baby Paint Brush as an example. There are two search ways to narrow your search. The first is the type of search which is in the drop down and the second what to show which are the radio buttons.To view only trades that have Baby Paint Brushes in them choose “identical to my phrase”. If you just want to look for any type of Paint Brush select “Containing My Phrase.” To view the lots of a specific username, choose “Username” and type in the name. And to view a single lot select “Lot Number” and type in lot number.

Choose to show the Newest, Random or Oldest. Best bet is to always choose newest as these are the lots most recently posted.

Ok, now you’ll want to check the price of the item you’re searching for so that you get the best price. View all or as many lots as you can. If there are a lot of them I usually look at 20 to determine the average price for the item. Once you’ve decided on a lot to bid on you have to decide how much and quickly you want the item. You don’t have to bid items on a lot, but you are required to trade at least ONE item, even if you’re just paying in pure neopoints.

If you have to have right this minute and you don’t mind paying more then place a bid slightly higher then the asking price. If you want to try a haggle then bid less then asking price. When making the offer you have to bid at least one item (which will come out of your inventory) on any lot and you can offer nps but its not a requirement to make the bid. Also remember you may not be the only person bidding, so there’s the possibilty you might not get it.

Now that you’ve placed your bid you need a way to keep track of them and this will help you do just that. Here it will show what the items and what yours offer was on every single bid you’ve made. Say you placed to bids on lots for Baby Paint Brushes and one was accepted.

Chose “Cancel this Offer,” unless you want 2 pbs. Your offer will be returned to your inverntory and if there were any NP’s bid it will be added to your on hand amount.

So now let create you’re own trade. The item or items you want to trade will come from your inventory so make sure they’re there before you begin. Select the items you want to trade, theres a maxium of 10 items per trade. And you can only have 10 trades at any given time. Once you’ve selected the items you’ll want type into the “wishlist” section what you want in trade. Be specific, and easy for people to understand, you’ll have a better chance to get what you want. Example: Trading an Orn Codestone for a Main Codestone or NP of same value. Wishlist text should read something like this: Main Codestone or pure. Trades will remain active for 2 week. If you never accept any offers they will automatically cancel and the item or items will return to your inventory.

If after creating of trade you decide you want to cancel it, click “Cancel This Lot.” Beware you can’t cancel within the first 15 minutes of creating a trade.

1. Someone has made an offer on your lot.
2. Your bid on a lot was accepted.
3. An offer you made was rejected or an offer someone made on one of your lots was cancelled.Well now you know how to use the trading post! Good luck! Happy Trading!

 

54k: This means 54, 000 neopoints. Its using the Canadian system of measurement (the metric system). 54k Pure: This means 54, 000 neopoints pure. Since you have to bid an item, you can bid a junk item, but this means they want 54, 000 neopoints and nothing less. No items worth the value. 54k and items: This means the trader wants 54k neopoints and some good items on the side. They don’t have to match the value perfectly, but relatively close will do. Just Neopoints: The trader wants only neopoints. Just Items: The trader wants only neopoints. NFT: Not for Trade. ETS: Easy to Sell. This means the item is easy to sell, meaning most people want it and doesn’t take too long to sell. But, be sure to check if it is, some people could be lying.

 

Ah, neohomes. A very cute little place to keep your pets and furniture! But neohomes can be a bit complicated if you’re not sure how to “work them”. First things first, do you have to have one? It is not required that you own one by any standards. They are just a nice little thing to make this whole “neoworld” a bit more “realistic”. If you’re good enough, you can even win a trophy!

Go to Pet Central and click on “NeoHome”.

There are so many things to know about neohomes. But to start off, how do you even create one?

• Go to Pet Central.
• Click on “NeoHomes” section (should be a picture near the top of the page).
• Go to Add/Remove Rooms or Gardens.
• Now apply for the land you want. This cannot be changed no matter what. Once you apply for that land, it’s stuck with you forever, so pick wisely!
• Wait until they finish building it. Should take between a couple of hours to a couple of days.
• Now you can create the rooms you want and put the furniture in (read more into this guide for more information on how to do that).
• Click View Rooms or Gardens to move the furniture around and view your neohomes!

Picking your land and rooms can be easy. To build the land, you must pick it when you first create your neohome. To pick the room, you must build them after your land has been built. You click on the land and a pop-up will appear. You can then pick the type of room you want and which direction it faces out of. The land you picked cannot be changed, ever. But the room you pick can be (you’d have to remove the room and rebuild a new one).

 

	Neopia Central: 1,000np
	Mystery Island: 2,500np
	Tyrannia: 3,500np
	Spooky Woods: 5,000np
	Lost Desert: 7,500np
	Meridell: 8,000np
	Roo Island: 10,000np
	Brightvale: 15,000np
	Faerieland: 25,000np

Once you build a couple of rooms (the more you build, the more extensions will show), you will be able to build “extensions” options onto your neohome. There are 6 different options.

There are several places you can buy furniture from! We have found a list of places you can find some from and placed it here for you as a resource.Faerie Furniture
Neopian Furniture
Shop Wizard
Spooky Furniture
Tyrannian Furniture

There are several different types of rooms to pick from: Cardboard, Straw, Twigs, Bamboo, Wood, Chocolate, Stone, Jelly, Brick, White Chocolate, Marble, Silver, Cloud, Gold, and Transparishield.

If you think you have a grand neohome, why not enter it into the NeoHome Spotlight? If you win, you can win a spiffy trophy (as seen below). To win this, you have to have a unique neohome and spent a lot of time on it. Good luck!

In the colorful universe of Neopia, Neodecks have become a beloved pastime for many Neopians. But what exactly are Neodecks? How do they work? And why should you care about collecting Neocards? This guide will provide you with all the essential information about Neodecks, the different types of Neocards, and how you can enhance your collection and gameplay experience.

What are Neocards?

Neocards are collectible cards that you can store in your Neodeck. Each card features a unique Neopian character or creature, often accompanied by specific traits and abilities. The process of collecting these cards is straightforward yet incredibly rewarding, making it a popular feature among Neopets fans.

Key Features of Neocards:

• Variety: Neocards come in various rarities and species, making each card unique and adding an element of excitement to the collection process.
• No Cost: Previously, Neocards had a cost associated with them, but now they are free to collect, making it easier than ever to start your collection.
• Limitless Collection: There is no cap on the number of Neocards you can add to your Neodeck, allowing you to amass as many as you can find.

How to Add Neocards to Your Neodeck

Incorporating Neocards into your Neodeck is a simple and enjoyable process. Here’s how to do it:

1. Access Your Inventory: Navigate to your inventory where all your items, including Neocards, are stored.
2. Select Your Neocard: Click on the Neocard you wish to add to your Neodeck.
3. Use the Pop-Up Menu: Wait for the pop-up menu to appear. From this menu, select the option labeled “Put in Neodeck.”
4. Completion: After selecting the option, your Neocard will automatically be added to your Neodeck. It’s as simple as that!

Understanding the Neodeck

The Neodeck serves as your personal album for displaying the Neocards you’ve collected. When you view your Neodeck or that of other Neopians, you’ll notice various sections that help you manage and track your cards.

Sections of the Neodeck:

1. My Album: This section provides a visual representation of the Neocards you own and highlights which cards you still need to collect to complete your deck. It’s a great way to keep track of your progress.
2. My Cards: Here, you can view a detailed list of all the Neocards currently in your Neodeck. You’ll be able to see how many of each card you have and can easily remove cards if needed. When you remove a card, it goes back to your inventory.
3. My Deck: This area allows you to name your Neodeck and write a brief description. The name you choose will be displayed on your lookup page, and you can change it anytime to reflect your current theme or collection focus.
4. All Cards: In this section, you can find a complete list of all available Neopets Collectable Cards. It’s a handy checklist to print out, allowing you to tick off the cards you have collected. Some cards may be more challenging to find, adding an extra layer of challenge to your collecting endeavors.
5. Rarity List: To assist you in identifying rare cards, this feature color-codes the cards based on their rarity. The rarer the card, the more challenging it is to find. Rare cards often possess greater powers and abilities than their common counterparts, making them valuable additions to your collection.

Collecting Neocards: Tips and Strategies

Collecting Neocards can be a fun yet competitive endeavor. Here are some tips to help you maximize your collecting experience:

1. Know Your Rarities

Understanding the rarity of Neocards is crucial to building a valuable collection. Focus on acquiring rare cards as they not only enhance your deck’s strength but are also more sought after by other collectors.

2. Trade with Other Players

Don’t hesitate to trade cards with fellow Neopians. This is an excellent way to obtain cards you may be missing while giving away duplicates you no longer need.

3. Participate in Events

Keep an eye on Neopets events and promotions that might offer exclusive Neocards or bonuses for collecting. These events can provide great opportunities to expand your collection.

4. Utilize the Shop Wizard

The Shop Wizard can help you find cards at competitive prices. Always check this tool to make sure you’re not overpaying for a Neocard.

5. Stay Organized

Regularly review your Neodeck to ensure you’re aware of which cards you have and which you need. An organized collection can save you time and effort in your quest to complete your Neodeck.
