Codestones have been an integral part of Neopian culture for many years, especially for those who wish to train their pets effectively. Originating from the lush landscapes of Mystery Island, these magical items are not just colorful rocks; they are the keys to enhancing your Neopets’ abilities and skills. This guide will delve deep into everything you need to know about codestones, including where to find them, their uses, the enigmatic red codestones, and a complete list of codestones available in the game.

What are Codestones?

Codestones are unique, magical items that serve as a form of currency for training your Neopets. Each codestone has a different color and value, corresponding to the type of training your pet can undergo at the Mystery Island Training School. The existence of codestones has made training pets more accessible and strategic, allowing Neopians to select the best codestones for their pets’ needs.

The History of Codestones

Codestones have been around since the inception of the training schools, making them a long-standing component of Neopian life. Introduced alongside the Mystery Island Training School, codestones have remained relevant due to their pivotal role in improving pets’ stats. Over the years, their designs have evolved, but their purpose has remained the same—helping Neopets become stronger and more capable.

Finding Codestones

Now for the amazing part—where to find codestones!

1. Tombola: One of the most popular sources for acquiring codestones is the Tombola. Players can win various codestones through this free-to-play game, making it a go-to spot for collectors.
2. Random Events: Codestones can also appear as prizes in random events. Keep an eye on your alerts, as you might just receive a codestone when you least expect it!
3. Auctions and Trading Post: If you’re in need of specific codestones, the auctions and trading post are excellent places to look. However, be prepared to pay a premium, as codestones can be quite pricey.
4. Shop Wizard: For those looking for a specific type of codestone, the Shop Wizard can help you find one, though they might be slightly more expensive, ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 Neopoints each.

The Uses of Codestones

Codestones have several crucial uses, making them invaluable to Neopians:

1. Training at the Mystery Island Training School: The primary use of codestones is for training your Neopets. Each codestone corresponds to a specific type of training, allowing you to improve your pet’s stats efficiently.
2. Red Codestones: Codestones can be combined to create red codestones, which are essential for training at the Secret Ninja Training School. More on that below!

1. Bri Codestone

6. Lu Codestone

12. Tai-Kai Codestone

Red Codestones

Red codestones are rare stones that serve as payment for the Secret Ninja Training School, offering an alternative training method for your pets. Here’s how to acquire them:

1. Purchase from Shop Wizard or Trading Post: You can find red codestones for sale at varying prices, but they are typically more expensive than regular codestones.
2. Volcano Method: The most intriguing way to obtain red codestones is through the Volcano on Mystery Island. To do this, you must collect one of each regular codestone (ten in total). Once you have all ten, head to the Volcano and drop them in. The volcano will then reward you with one random red codestone.

Tips for Using Codestones Effectively

• Keep an Inventory: Maintain a good stock of various codestones to ensure that you can train your pets whenever necessary. This prevents delays and keeps your training regimen consistent.
• Plan Your Training: Determine which stats you want to focus on for your Neopets and select the appropriate codestones. This strategic approach will yield better results.
• Watch for Deals: Since codestones can vary in price, keep an eye out for deals at the Shop Wizard and be ready to snatch them up when they’re affordable.

Conclusion

Codestones are more than just colorful rocks; they are essential tools for any Neopian looking to maximize their pets’ potential. With the right strategies for finding and utilizing these magical items, you can ensure that your Neopets become the strongest they can be. Whether you’re trading for red codestones or gathering regular ones for training, the world of codestones is full of opportunities for every Neopian.

Chia Pops are delightful and unique food items in Neopets, offering a variety of benefits for your pets. These colorful treats are more than just snacks—they can change the appearance of your Chia pets and provide a fun way to customize their look. Some Chia Pops are designed to alter your Chia’s color, while others simply serve to fill your pet’s hunger meter for the day.

It’s important to note that not all Chia Pops have the same effects. The “Magical Chia Pops” are the special ones to look out for, as they have the power to change your Chia’s color to a vibrant fruit-inspired hue! These magical pops are exclusive to Chia pets and will not work on any other species. If you try to use a Magical Chia Pop on a non-Chia pet, it will simply feed them, but won’t provide any color transformation.

For those looking to create a more colorful and unique Chia, these magical pops are the perfect way to experiment with new fruit colors and add a personal touch to your pet’s appearance. So, if you’re ready to add some pizzazz to your Chia, grab a Magical Chia Pop and enjoy the fun of transforming your pet into a bright, fruit-inspired version of itself!

Magical Chia pops are very interesting. They can change your chia into different chia pop flavours, such as apple or grape! These magical pops can be quite expensive, but it has been rumoured you can find them in Terror Moutain in shops, such as the Igloo Garage!

Apple	Aubergine	Avacado	Asparagus
Blueberry	Chokato	Durian	Gooseberry
Grape	Lemon	Lime	Orange
Pea	Peach	Pear	Pineapple
Plumb	Thornberry	Tomato

ALthough these can’t turn your pet into a fruit, they sure can fill ANY pet up! They’re great for snacks for those on the go trips to Mystery Island or Roo Island on those really hot days! You can find these in the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop in Terror Moutain.

Banana Split	Blackberry	Blue Apple	Blue Orange
Candy Floss	Crab Apple	Juppie Swirl	Mint Chocolate
NeoCola	Non-Magical Blueberry	Non-Magical Orange	Non-Magical Lime
Non-Magical Orange	Orange Split	Rainbow	Sherbet Lime
Splime	Snowberry	Strawberry	Stripped
Super Sour Shocker

This article is for all of you people out there who enter the contest for the hopes of winning neopoints, trophies, recognition, and hopefully a prize, but you never even place in the species, let alone the overall winners! Well if you want to win, then just listen up take the advice I am about to give you. Can you draw a picture of your Neopet looking great? Well then the Beauty Contest is the place for you! Win prizes and trophies every single week by submitting a GIF or JPG image of your Neopet.

First things first, what IS the beauty contest? It is a competition where artists can enter their drawings and have people vote on their pictures. The pet with the most votes will win! You can either win for the species or overall (for every single species). Winning a trophy can be difficult. You cannot see how many votes you have or others have, or if you’re even in the lead. You can hope that your picture is grand enough for people to vote for. Although the beauty contest votes are seen as unfair because the famous people of Neopets can gather in more votes than a newbie or infamous player.

The prizes are as follows :
Overall Winners!	Species Winners!
First Prize – 20,000 NP + one rare item Second Prize – 10,000 NP + one rare item Third Prize – 5,000 NP + one rare item	First Prize – 10,000 NP Second Prize – 5,000 NP Third Prize – 2,500 NP

Winning the beauty contest can be made easy with our 17 tips to that new trophy! Read through these tips and try out a few! The people who helped write this guide have experience in the beauty contest and knows what works to grab eople’s attention. 😉 Good luck!

• Before entering the contest make yourself known on several boards (not the beauty contest board) so that most people on there are familiar with you. This way when you ask them to possibly to vote for your pet it doesn’t seem totally out of the blue.
• Spend some good time on your drawing either hand drawn or computer drawn. It should take you more than 20 minutes to make a pretty good drawing of your pet.
• Don’t limit your drawing to the normal stance of your pet. Try drawing a battle stance or just imagining a stance and drawing that.
• Use lots of color in your drawing as people like color and it draws more attention
• Add some accessories to your drawing. Maybe clothes or weapons from the battledome. Simply spice up your drawing a little. Give it some “pizzaz” (don’t know if that’s a real word though xD)
• If it is your first time entering try a specie category where not a lot of people enter like mynci, tuskaninny, bruce, blumaroo
• ALWAYS be in a guild with about 100 people or more. Don’t SPAM on their message boards though. SPAM is where you write the same posts over and over or pointless messages or advertising a whole lot on the board. Simply just make sure you are in a guild so you can get some support from the guild.
• Whenever you enter your pet venture to the Beauty Contest Boards and advertise your pet. Most people there are friendly. Make sure to be nice to everyone that comes to your board as they will be the ones voting for your pet and you don’t want to make them mad.
• Put a drawing with a link (if you don’t know how to do this read till the bottom) on ALL of your pages. Your lookup, your pets lookup, your pets page and even on spare accounts (but don’t vote with them!). Just to get the word out that your pet is in the Beauty Contest. Trust me people WILL vote if they just see your lookup with a big old picture link!
• Incorporate a scheme to get people to vote for your pet on every board you make. For example I will use on the BattleDome Boards: “Hey everyone challenge (pet name) {ALSO VOTE FOR (pet name here)} like that.
• In addition to putting links on your pages you own, put it in your neo signature and also have a reminder in your neoHTML to vote for him or her. When you do this along with the tip above, you will recieve a ton of votes. It’s a great scheme for getting lots of votes.
• In addition to tip # 8, go to the Beauty Contest boards as much as possible and advertise your pet like mad (without getting angry and just being nice to everyone you meet there). Also venture on to others boards and say you like their drawing, and ask them to vote for your pets. This will pick up maybe another 10-50 votes for your pet, depending on how much you do it. If you advertise your own boards AND others a lot you just might get a lot more votes than you expected.
• If you know a few people but haven’t talked to them in a while, drop them a neomail saying your pet is now in the beauty contest and ask for a vote. Also you can do something I don’t recommend: not only advertise on the boards, but neomail on the boards asking them to vote as well. Try advertising on your guild or even Neopets fan sites like NeoExtreme in the site forums!
• Why limit links to your own signature or lookup? Ask friends to advertise in their signature, neoHTML, lookups, pet lookups, and petpages. Whenever your friend gets a hit on one of these pages they are most likely going to vote for your pet and this will result in even more votes for your pet! These tips are great aren’t they? You will just get more and more votes to help you win a trophy.
• If you have AIM (AOL Instant messenger) and you have some friends who play on neopets just send them an “IM” and ask for a vote for your wonderful pet in the beauty contest you now hope to win
• If sometimes your drawing doesn’t look to good, and you have added that color and accessories (weapons and items) you could always get a free animation program and have your picture you made be the first frame. Then go back to paint or your drawing program and create a second frame of your pic and then put them together and run and save your animation as a GIF file.
• Tip number seventeen (In addition to tip number nine): This is where you can find out how to put up that link and picture for your pets Beauty Contest entry. First go to an image hosting site. Then upload your picture and get the images URL. Copy this and then take it to your lookup editing page. Then use the tags “Image Tags.” Then go to your entry and get the link. Copy this and take it back to your lookup editing page. Use this tag: “Links Tags” use this in front of the image one. Then once you are done with that after the image tag add to the end.
