Tea Time With Tavi is the latest addition to Neopia’s lineup of quest games, where players assist Tavi, a mysterious tea aficionado, by fetching specific items in exchange for plot points, Neopoints, and unique item rewards. This game bears similarities to other well-known quest games like Edna’s Quests and Kitchen Quests, but with its own unique twist. Your primary task is to gather items that Tavi requests, all within a limited time frame, and earn rewards.
How Tea Time With Tavi Works
Starting a Quest
To begin, head over to the Tea Time With Tavi game page and click on the “Start Quest” button. Tavi will then ask you for 2 to 4 specific items, typically related to her love for all things tea or fire. This item list can include:
- Items containing the words “tea” or “fire” in their names.
- Items from the Cosy Campfire Collection (a themed set of items released earlier in the year).
- Miscellaneous items, which sometimes appear to have been intended as prizes rather than requests, adding a little bit of surprise to each quest.
Once the quest begins, you have a 4-hour window to gather and return the requested items. Completing the quest successfully within this time will earn you various rewards (more on that below).
Quest Limits
There are a few limitations you need to be aware of:
- Daily Limit: You can only complete up to 5 quests per day. This prevents players from overloading themselves with quests while ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to participate daily.
- Inventory Restrictions: If you have 60 or more items in your inventory, you cannot start a new quest until you make space by selling or storing some items. Make sure to regularly manage your inventory to avoid delays in starting quests.
- No Cancellation: Once you accept a quest, there is no option to cancel it. If you can’t complete the quest, you’ll have to wait until the 4-hour time limit expires to receive a new one.
Tips for Completing Tavi’s Quests
- Use the Shop Wizard: You are allowed to use the Shop Wizard during these quests, making it much easier to track down any items you don’t already have in your inventory. The Shop Wizard is your best friend when Tavi requests an uncommon item. Make sure to search wisely and compare prices before buying.
- Organize Your Inventory: Keeping your inventory under 60 items ensures you won’t hit any snags when trying to accept a new quest. Regularly sell or transfer extra items to your Safety Deposit Box or shop to avoid exceeding the limit.
- Prepare a Tea Collection: Since many of the items Tavi requests involve tea, consider building a small collection of commonly requested tea-themed items in advance. This will allow you to complete quests faster without relying on the Shop Wizard every time.
- Keep Track of Your Quest Progress: Since there are achievements tied to the number of quests you complete, it’s a good idea to keep track of your progress towards those achievements. Use a simple checklist or keep a mental note of how many quests you’ve completed daily.
- Check Prices Before Starting: Some items Tavi requests might be pricier than others, and if you’re running low on Neopoints, it may be best to wait for the next quest rather than overpaying for a difficult-to-find item.
Rewards for Completing Quests
Upon successfully completing a quest, you’ll be rewarded with the following:
Plot Points
For each completed quest, you will receive +5 plot points, which can be used later to unlock special plot-related rewards. If you’re using a Plot Points Fortune Cookie, you can double the amount and earn +10 plot points per quest, speeding up your progress in the ongoing plot.
Neopoints
In addition to plot points, Tavi will also reward you with 105 to 193 Neopoints per quest. While this isn’t a huge amount, it’s a nice bonus to help cover any expenses you might incur while completing the quests (such as purchasing items from the Shop Wizard).
