What are Neopets Pet Styles?
Pet Styles are a feature introduced in January 2024 that allows you to change the appearance of your Neopet. Think of them as stylish outfits or poses that give your pet a fresh new look. They replaced the old Unconverted (UC) Neopets system, offering a more accessible way to customize your companions.
How to Obtain Pet Styles
To get started, you’ll need Styling Studio Supplies. These can be purchased from the NC Mall or directly from the Styling Studio page.
Types of Styling Studio Supplies
- Styling Studio Supplies: These give you a random Pet Style color option for your chosen species.
- Deluxe Styling Studio Supplies: These allow you to choose the specific color option you want for your chosen species.
Where to Buy Styling Studio Supplies
- NC Mall: You can buy individual supplies or bundles (5-bundle or 10-bundle) in the NC Mall. Bundles offer a better value for your NC!
- Styling Studio Page: You can buy individual supplies directly from the Styling Studio page, but bundles are only available in the NC Mall.
Understanding Regular vs. Deluxe Supplies
- Regular Supplies: Offer a random color from the available options for your chosen species. This is a good option if you’re not picky about the color or if the species has only a few options.
- Deluxe Supplies: Allow you to choose the exact color you want. This is ideal if you have a specific style in mind, but it’s more expensive.
Steps to Obtain Pet Styles
- Head to the Styling Studio: You can find it under the NC Mall section in the Shop.
- Choose your species: Select the species of Neopet you want to style.
- Select your supplies: Choose between regular or Deluxe Styling Studio Supplies.
- Confirm your choice: A pop-up will show you the potential styles (for regular supplies) or allow you to choose your desired style (for Deluxe supplies).
- Apply the style: Once confirmed, the new style will be automatically applied to your Neopet!
Important Notes
- You must own a Neopet of the species you want to style.
- You cannot re-color existing Pet Style items, but you can obtain multiple styles for the same pet.
