Neopets Tarla’s Shop of Mystery is a place that is located in the Shop of Mystery, where you will find Tarla which will happen to be a Red Ixi. From there, you will be able to buy a random item that you will know nothing about for a price. It can be a Packet of Gravel or it can be a petpet. All will depend on the luck you will have. The price will be located at one hundred Neopoints, or ten thousands Neopoints. You will have to choose depending of what your budget is. For new users, going after the cheap bag is always an opportunity. However, for more experienced users who have more Neopets with them, it is recommended that they decide to choose the other option, which is about picking the random item that will be more pricey.
Note that when the shop is being successfully stocked, you will be able to buy from Neopets Tarla’s Shop of Mystery each minute and half. You can do that for your advantage, if you are a gambling lover. There are many prizes that can be given from the Neopets Tarla’s Shop of Mystery and below is a list that will have them all. It is recommended that you read this list so that you you were waiting for a particular item to have, and it is not listed, better waste no NP on Neopets Tarla’s Shop of Mystery. This is the same Red Ixi who runs the Shop of Mystery on the top of Terror Mountain.
You might not recognize her at first because you are looking at an older image of her. It gives you a feel of how long ago Neopets stopped updating this link.
Since we can no longer download the toolbar, Neopets has allowed us access to Tarla’s prizes as Tarla’s Non-Toolbar Treasures. Unfortunately, there is a catch: we have nothing to alert us when Tarla comes by to give prizes!
Catching Tarla
If Tarla is not going to be here at all today, you will see the message below:
If you see the message below, you know Tarla will be coming by today:
The message above means that Tarla will be coming by at four random times today, each time within one of four 6-hour periods, to give out prizes. If she has already visited during a 6-hour slot, even the last one, this message will still appear until the end of the day. Don’t let it trick you to keep on searching for her.
Tarla stays for 15-16 minutes at a time. In the first THREE (3) MINUTES she arrives, she will award you the Main Prize of the day. Everyone who finds her within the first three minutes of any of her visits that day receives the same Main Prize. If it is a Secret Laboratory Map Piece, everyone will receive the same piece. Past Main Prize items range from Books to Paint Brushes to Stamps to Furniture to Battledome items to Food.
When you catch her during that time, you will see Tarla holding a box with many items appearing and disappearing very quickly inside it for a few seconds.
Then, you will be awarded the Main Prize of the day.
Afterwards, Tarla starts to leave and drops some things on her way out. If you missed her in the first three minutes, you have a chance to pick up a random rare item she drops while she is still lingering in the next 12-13 minutes.
After several items appear and disappear very quickly for a few seconds, the random rare item you have picked up is revealed to you.
Tarla visits FOUR (4) TIMES A DAY between the following intervals: She will appear between 10 minutes after the hour to 45* minutes after the hour during the following hours. So, check for Tarla at (all times are in Neopian Standard Time):
Interval | Hours |
I | 1:10AM-1:45AM, or 2:10AM-2:45AM, or 3:10AM-3:45AM, or 4:10AM-4:45AM, or 5:10AM-5:45AM |
II | 7:10AM-7:45AM, or 8:10AM-8:45AM, or 9:10AM-9:45AM, or 10:10AM-10:45AM, or 11:10AM-11:45AM |
III | 1:10PM-1:45PM, or 2:10PM-2:45PM, or 3:10PM-3:45PM, or 4:10PM-4:45PM, or 5:10PM-5:45PM |
IV | 7:10PM-7:45PM, or 8:10PM-8:45PM, or 9:10PM-9:45PM, or 10:10PM-10:45PM, or 11:10PM-11:45PM |
Her visits can start 45 minutes after the hour, but they can end as late as 59 minutes after the hour.The time Tarla arrives between each interval is random, except that she will only start appearing 10 minutes after the hour. She will also not appear at the hour of 6 or 12 (AM and PM). The best way to catch her for the Main Prize is to refresh the page each minute during the interval she has yet to appear in. For example:
If you’re looking for Tarla in between 1:10 PM – 5:59 PM (the 3rd interval), you would start refreshing every minute from 1:10 PM (so refresh at 1:10 PM, at 1:11 PM, etc.) to 1:45 PM. If Tarla has not shown up, you start again refreshing every minute from 2:10 PM until 2:45 PM. Then, again at 3:10 – 3:45 PM, 4:10 – 4:45 PM, and 5:10 – 5:45 PM. If you keep checking this way, you find Tarla sometime along the way.
Another way to catch Tarla is to refresh on the Help Chat NeoBoard OR the Game Chat NeoBoard and wait for someone to make a “Tarla” post topic. This does not guarantee that you will get the Main Prize or any Prize at all, because the user posting may have caught her too late during her visit.
If you have already collected a Main or dropped Prize for the day and catch Tarla again, you will see the message below:
You will have to wait until tomorrow to receive more prizes. You are not allowed to use your side accounts to visit Tarla as this is earning items. Please, collect items only on your main account!
