Neopets FAQ Online only/web By nemesis2/allstar E-mail:allstar56@gmail.com Neopets-u/n=kero28 Last Updated-february 22nd, 2005 This FAQ is now under the control of Allstar56, I am no longer accepting any e-mail about this FAQ AND I have removed all of my others, but you will still find them here. Note From Nemesis2: Well,once again,thanks to all the peeople who have helped me and supported me during my 9 months on neopets.Honestly,I wouldn't of stayed for that long if not for the very nice people at the Neopets Board on GameFAQS ,all the people which have read this FAQ and Everyone.Thanks so much. Miss ya all. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=kero28 If you look at this FAQ and you feel like creating another account,could you please go to this link? Because if you do,I could get a paintbrush as well as a lot of other stuff and I could sell it for np.The more np I have,the more info I can have on this guide.And plus I want 100 referrals for the battledome challenger so if you could please,if you have not got an account or you feel like creating another,please go to that link. Thanx! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ---------------------- 1.Introduction ---------------------- Well,here it is,my most prestigous FAQ yet.I started this guide way back at the beginning of August,completed the sign up section and then I never had the motivation nor time to complete this FAQ until the holidays.But the majority of the guide took about 6 days to be ready for first submit and it got accepted. Now I have also created 3 other FAQ's for neopets,which can also be seen here.I plan to extend my FAQing beyond neopets and write guides for all the other games I have.Maybe you will see Zelda,Pokemon,Mario and plenty of other guides by me in the Future. This guide will eventually contain information on almost everything Neopets has to offer,ranging from Restocking to Games to Paintbrushes to Collectables to Avatars to Battledome guides.I plan for this FAQ to be the most comprehensive and biggest guide on Gamefaqs and quite possibly the entire web (who knows?) So read on and I hope you get something out of it! +============== = CONTENTS = +============== 1.Introduction -contents 2.Signing up 3.Basic Terms 4.Other Terms 5.Making NP -Games -Restocking 6.Getting Started -Pets -Feeding your pet -Items -Opening a bank account -Safety deposit box/Inventory -Opening A Shop 7.Games -200m Peanut Dash -Carnival Of Terror -Dubloon Disaster -Escape From Meridell Castle -Grundo Snowthrow -Igloo Garage Sale,the game -Meerca Chase (DETAILED GUIDE) -Mootix Drop -Pterattack -Trouble at the National Neopian -Ultimate Bullseye (DETAILED GUIDE) -Volcano Run(DETAILED GUIDE) -Turmac Roll (DETAILED GUIDE) -Whack-A-Kass (DETAILED GUIDE) 8.Chance/Freebies Guide Wheels a.Excitement b.Mediocrity c.Misfortune d.Monotony e.Knowledge Other Chance Games a.Buried Treasure b.Ice caves Scratchcards c.Deserted Fairground Scratchcards d.Test Your Strength e.Graarl Keno f.Neopian Lottery g.Dice A roo Slots a.Black Pawkeet Slots b.Brucey B slots c.Scorchy Slots Freebies a.Fruit Macine b.Coltzans Shrine c-Tombola d.Grumpy Old King e.Snowager f.Other Freebies Random Events a.Good b.Bad c.Neutral Secrets/Chance Avatars Tips Fairy Quest Guide 9.Advanced Stuff -Paintbrushes -Auctions -Trading Post -Item Groups -Stamps/Coins -Cards -Guilds -Battledome -Galleries -Avatars 10-World Tour -Neopia Central 11-FAQS 12.Versions 13.Contact Info -E-Mail -Other Ways -HOATSAE 14.Wrap up +==================+ = About Neopia = +==================+ Neopia,is a world like our own.When you are born into the world of neopia,very early on,you must find your strengths,weaknesses and restrictions.We must see neopia like the world we live in today.In the real world,we earn money by doing various jobs.In neopia,you earn Neopoints (the currency of neopia) by playing games.Geez,I wish all jobs were this fun.Now there are also jobs which are assigned to you but the coupons cost so much,that it simply isn't worth it. Once you have got used to the world around you,you should decide what you want to do.Know your strengths and weaknesses and restrictions.For example if you have good reflexes,play games which require reflexes,if you are smart and have good concentration,play puzzle games.Also your restrictions. For example,if your connection is slow,it makes it very hard to restock any good items.Kind of like,if your leg is broken,you can't run.If your computer can't display graphics properly or is slow,you shouldn't be playing games. Then there are the lucky people.Some people win a huge amount of np very early on,and they just relax and spend,do whatever they want.While others (like me) have to earn almost every penny.Occasionally I win something but about 90% of the money I get is earned through games. Then there are the beggars,the lowest form of life in neopia.They are like the criminals of neopia.They steal money from you by scamming you,they hack into your account etc.These people are often caught out by TNT (the neopets team) They rule the world of Neopia.They decide whether the scums get frozen or not. Getting frozen is like going to jail.You do something wrong,you get frozen. TNT make the whole world of neopia run and they add new and (mostly) interesting things. Just like in the real world,there are disasters which totally destroy every thing a person has earned.One example is the pant devil.He steals an item worth 1 million np and you have lost everything.You may lose your money in a glitch.Just like a storm destroying everything you own or something like that. So remember that the world of neopia is kind of like our world,in the way it runs and that,it just does stuff differently and it is a lot more 'magical' unlike ours. So enjoy the ride! +======================+ = 3.Signing Up = +======================+ If you are reading this guide then you should of already signed up but anyway SIGN UP STEPS 1.Once you get to the sign up page,you need to choose your age.There are 4 age groups under 7 7-12 13-17 and 18+.If you want get the Optimium experience of Neopets choose 13-17 or 18+ even if you are 12 or under.If you choose the youngest age groups,you will not be able to chat in the neoboards along with a few other restrictions.(By the way,I am 14) 2.Then you need to fill out your information,like user name,email,country password,etc.The name which you want may be already taken.If so,try adding numbers on the end. 3.When you finished,you will be able to create a pet! 4-Remember,you cant experience all that Neopets has to offer until you activate your account using the code which TNT sent to you. *QUESTION* Can you create multiple accounts using the same e-mail address? Yes,up to four,but you will be only able to play freebies(like the fruit machine) and the wheels (like the wheel of excitement) on your first or Main account.If you are caught playing these games on multiple accounts,you will be frozen. Even if you play lets say the Fruit Machine using 2 different accounts,which were created using 2 different e-mail addresses,you will probably still get frozen because they would notice the same IP address. +==============+ = Basic Terms = +==============+ NP or Neopoints-'Neopoints' are the currency of Neopia.You need Neopoints to buy items from shops etc.There are 2 main ways to earn NP and they are... Games-Playing the various games which Neopets has to offer in order to earn NP. Restocking-Going to one of the Many Neopian Shops,buying items and selling them in your own shop for a profit. We will go into more detail about these methods later. NeoPets-The reason Neopets Exists,and that is to train your own virtual pet! There are currently 49 kinds of Neopets existant. +===============+ = Other Terms = +===============+ Frozen-To be frozen means to be banned from the site for a wrong doing (sometimes for no reason at all!).You can get frozen for swearing on the chat boards,scamming another player for items or neopoints,playing freebies on more than one account and lots more. If you think you were frozen for no reason whatsoever,then you can send The Neopets team an e-mail.They are very slow to respond however and they may not even un freeze you still.Patience is the Key. Scamming-Scammers are bad.Very Bad.They take advantage of other people and make millions of Neopoints. They might send you a neomail saying "I can give you one million neopoints but I need your password.Anyone that asks for your password is a scammer,It is as simple as that. There are also people that say they are 'TheNeopetsTeam' and do simular to the above but they are also scammers.'The account which the neopets team uses is 'TheNeopetsTeam' and if their username is anything other than that then it is a scam.These people will use stupid names such as 'DaNeopetzTeam' or'TheNeopetsTeam2'. Also they can send you fake items and get you frozen for it. TheNeopetsTeam (TNT)-The username which the neopets company uses. +=============+ = Making NP = +=============+ As I said before there are 2 main methods of making Np and they are Games and Restocking.Which one you should use comes down to two things.Your internet speed and your computer speed. +=============+ = Games = +=============+ Making NP by playing games is a very fun way of gaining NP.You play 1 or more of the 140 or so games on the site and you play for a score.Then when you get a game over,you may send it.Obviously,the higher the score,the more NP you will get.Some games will give you your score in NP while others will halve it or times it by 2 or more.If your score is really bad,you don't have to send it.Remember,for most games,you can only send 3 scores a day so keep that in mind. For more information about specific games,you can see the games section in this FAQ. Playing games is the best method of gaining np for people with Dial-Up speed but the computers general speed or graphics capability is also decent. +==============+ =Restocking = +==============+ Restocking is when you go into one of the many Neopian Shops,buy some items and sell them in your own shop for a profit.(see section 4 for help with opening your own shops)Not all items are profitable however. So focus on 1 or 2 shops and learn which items are profits and which items are akin to a loss in NP. Remember shops are often sold out because of the millions of people that restock at any one shop.So you have to wait for it to restock.The time between each restock varies depending on the type of shop.For example Food shops tend to restock Quickly while petpet shops are really slow restockers.Sometimes it can take an hour for a shop to restock so be patient. Now when you see an Item you want,click on it.Then you will be asked to haggle the shop keeper so you can get the item cheaper.Now the golden rule here is TYPE IT QUICKLY!!!Avoid tiping numbers such as 1910 or 9150. Type Numbers like 5555 or 4545,they are easier to type as they are close together.Remember,the haggling price must be sensible or otherwise he will not accept it and you will have to try again.Although it is at a lower price,there is a much higher chance of seeing a sold out screen.So on the haggling screen,you will get a picture of a place with a neopet in the middle.Click on the neopet which it says.If it says Mynci,click on the mynci and not the blumaroo or any other pet.Also some may only be partially visible.Click on the solidly visible one! Now you will get one of 2 screens.You will either get 'the offer has been accepeted of X neopoints for ITEM' or you will get 'ITEM has sold out'. I am on a dial-up modem so I don't restock very often via the major shops. Just remember,you have to be quick.A split second can make all the difference. Now look it up on the shop wiz.Lets say you brought an item for 500np.Then you looked it up on the shop wizard.You might get 800 802 802 804 805 as the top 5.Sell it for 799np 1 np is enough to make a difference. Remember there are different sections of the wiz,based on the letter or number which a persons username starts with.I will add these in the next update. Make sure when you are selling your item in a shop,check it again on the wiz and keep refreshing until you section comes up.Make sure yours is first or second.If it isn't,lower your price a little. Restocking through the neopian shops is the way to go for people with broadband (fast) connections.For the people with dial-up or slower connections there is another way. +====================+ = Shop Wiz Restocking= +====================+ Although not as effective as regular restocking,this is a less hectic way for the people with slower connections. Now search up a parricular item.Lets say we searched up a Two Dubloon Coin. and these were the prices you found. 4100 4200 4200 4200 4210 Two Dubloon coins are worth between 4000 and 4100 np (at the time of writing) but it will be hard to make a profit off the 4100 one so leave it. However if it came up with this 3000 4000 4100 4100 4110 Bingo!Now quickly click on it since it is one of the more popular items and scroll down the shop page until you find it.If it is a big shop,use ctrl+f and put in Dubloon,dont type in the whole word,it takes too long. If you did not get the item you will get the message'oops this item doesn't exist in this shop'.If you got it,then you will return to the shop page. Always look for big bargains,someone occasionally gotta massively underprice some items(mainly n00bs).Some people have found Paint Brushes for 1np! Although it is not as profitable,it is another alternative. +================+ =Getting Started = +================+ I explained the ways for making NP before the 'beginners' section because making np is the most important thing of all.So after you sign up,the first thing you should do is create a pet. There are 49 diffferent kinds of Neopets at the time of writing.There should be at least 1 breed which you should fancy as a pet.Now to create a pet,on the main menu on the left side of the page,go to 'create a pet'.It should be the second one down. Now before we start,there are a few things you need to know.First of all,not all pets can be obtained normally.Some are 'restricted' or 'limited edition'/ Restricted means that the pet cannot be created in the normal way and you must obtain it another way.The restricted pets are the Krawk and Grundo. To create a Krawk 1.Buy a krawk petpet,they cost around 250000np. 2.Equip the krawk petpet to your active pet. 3.Go to the fungus caves,located on krawk island. 4.Now you will be able to feed the krawk some special fungus.Let it eat it and you will have your very own krawk! NOTES The name which you gave the krawk petpet will also be the name of the krawk neopet. You must have 3 or less neopets in order for this to work. To create a Grundo 1.Go to the Virtupets Space Station 2.Go to the 'Adopt a Grundo' sign 3.Now you will be able to create a Grundo.You must name it and choose from 7 different colours. NOTES -You must have 3 or fewer pets. Limited edition pets are pets which are only released occasionally.These are rare and you are lucky if you own one.There are 8 limited edition pets and they are Cybunny Tonu Jetsam Koi Draik Poogle Kiko Chomby But Draiks are never released however.You must have a Draik Egg and then go and hatch it.It makes you wonder why they are not restricted pets. Usually,the only time Limited Edition pets are released is on the pets special day.For example,poogles are only released on Poogle Day et cetera. By the way,I got a Jetsam!And painted it purple! The Normal Pets Are Kacheek Zafara Ixi Chia Acara Kyrii Techo Meerca Peophin Skeith Lupe Tuskaninny Flotsam Bruce Elephante Gelert Grarrl Nimmo Scorchio JubJub Eyrie Buzz Ruki Moehog Yurble Mynci Wocky Pteri Lenny Uni Usul Quiggle Kau Korbat Shoyru Kougra Aisha These pets can be obtained the normal way using the steps below. Now the steps. 1.Click on create a pet on the left side menu. 2.Browse through the pets avalible.When you find one you want,click on the circle below it then click 'I have chosen' 3.Now you will customize your pet.You will be able to do the following. Name-You get to name your pet.Note that coming up with an original name is not easy anymore as a lot of names have been taken.Try putting numbers on the end.For example,if birdy is taken,try birdy2000. Colour-There are only four colours to choose from at the start.ANd they are Blue,Green,yellow and red.If you want another colour afterwards,you must use a paintbrush and they are VERY EXPENSIVE.For more information on paintbrushes,see the Other things section. Likes-Pick anything,It doesn't make much difference Gender-Male or Female,I don't think it makes much difference in this game since you cant breed neopets. (now thats another thing...)The only difference I can think of is reguarding the Usuki and Royal Paintbrushes where males will be painted different to females. Pet Info =============================================================================== Acaras Looks like-kitten Size-Small-Medium Limited Edition-No Acaras are cat like pets.They are very playful and often love their owner. Most Acaras are Blue (well I am pretty sure there are more blue than any other colour). =============================================================================== Aishas Looks like-Blind Cat (Lines as eyes) Size-Small Limited Edition-No Aishas look like blind cats because they have only lines as eyes.Aishas are smaller than Acaras.Like Acaras,they are very playful.They like to be kept as pets more rather than roaming in the fields. =============================================================================== +==========+ = Stats = +==========+ Now these are kind of random but still some pets are better in some stats than others.For example,grarrls have ferocious attack but turtle like speed. Pteris have fast speed but weak strength.Here are a list of each of the stats your pet has. Hit Points-Basically endurance.The higher HP a pet has,the more hits it can take before going down.Hit points are very important as a pet with poor HP is not likely to hang around in battle too long. Strength-Very important.This indicates the intensity of the pets attacks. If a pet has high strength,it can dispose of other pets in battle quicker but if it has weak strength,it might take a while. Defence-Defence is basically resistance.How well it can take hits.If a pet has high defence,a high damaging attack might only do normal damage.If a pet has low defence,a medium damaging attack might be quite hefty. Speed-Speed is probably the most useless of all stats.It determines who goes first in battle.I don't know,it might affect evasion as well but still,it is not a stat you should be training. Intelligence-This is different.A pets intelligence will always start on average (with the exception of grundos,they start on dim witted)At the moment,it has no real use but when neoschools come (when will they?) intelligence will play a big role. Now at the stat screen,if you don't like the first lot of stats,you can roll them again,but only 5 times and the fifth time,you will have to do with what you got.Some pets never atart with good stats,like skeiths which should be strong but arent. +==================+ = Feeding Your Pet = +==================+ Now you have got your pet,you will gain 50 neopoints for creating a pet!Now to the matter of feeding your pet. Ahh,I will go to the food store and buy some food there.Yes,thats fine but there is a cheaper way.The neolodge. The neolodge will not only make your pet happy but they will also be well fed.This can be done for 140np a month.Just choose Cockroach towers (5np per night) for 28 days with no extras.Don't choose a fancy 5 star hotel as it doesnot make any difference.Also choosing extras will not make any difference either.And now your pet will be fed for 28 days for 140np! Don't think that you can't play games with your neopet while it is at the neolodge though,you still can. Now other pet caring tips -Give your pet toys to play.They will be more friendly towards you! -They also love a good book! -Pets do not like being hurt too much. -Don't feed your pet gross food,it will get sick +============+ = Sickness = +============+ Sometimes your pet may come down with an illness.You can go to to the pharmacy or shop wizard but first try the healing springs,located in fairy land.It might not cure the illness but try it first,it is better than forking out your np to cure it with the medicine. For now you can check the hospital for a list of cures.I will add them here in another update. Ahh,finally pet maintainence is done,lets move on to other things shall we? +===============+ = Bank Account = +===============+ While browsing the neopets site,there are things called random events.Some of these a good,however some are bad and they can steal your money and items.To keep them safe,you have two things.For np,you can go and open a bank account.A bank account is something I reccomend because 1.Neopoints are SAFE in the bank.They cannot be stolen 2.When you put NP in the bank,you get interest. Now first go to this link www.neopets.com/bank.phtml then go to make a bank account.Then you have to fill out a few details. Don't worry about the Adress though,you don't have to put in your real one. You get 30np for creating an account at the bank! Now you may put any neopoints earned into the bank.There are different account types depending on the amount of np depostied in the bank.There is junior saver which is the starters option but offers a petty interest rate.Once you get to 1000np then you can move on.Here is a list of account types Junior Saver Minimum-0 Neopian Student Minimum-1000 Bronze saver- minumum 2500 Silver saver- minimum 5000 Super gold plus minimum 10000 Platinum Extra minimum 25000 Double platinum minimum 50000 Triple Platinum minimum 75000 Diamond deposit minimum 100000 Diamond deposit plus minimum 500000 Millonaire mega platinum minimum 1000000 Neopian mega riches minumum 2000000 Ultimate Riches minimum 5000000 each one being better than the last. To collect bank interest 1.Go to the bank page 2.Scroll down below the withdrawl section to the collect interest section. 3.Click on the 'collect X np of interest' NOTE-If you deposit or withdrawl neopoints before collecting interest,you will not be able to earn interest for that day. You can collect interest once a day. Now thats the bank covered,now for the Safety Deposit Box +===============+ = Items/SDB = +===============+ What is the Safety Deposit Box? The safety deposit box is a place to safely store items.While an item sits in your inventory(more next section) it is in danger of being stolen by the pant devil or some other nasty thief.So store valuables in the safety deposit box!There is NOTHING WORSE than buying a dear item (eg paintbrush)only to have it stolen by the pant devil.It has happened before,people have lost millions of neopoints. So the first thing you should do is go straight to your inventory and deposit it in the safety deposit box.Just click on the item you want to deposit and then scroll down the menu given in the item window and you should see 'deposit in safety deposit box'. NOTES -You can fit an infinite number of items in the safety deposit box so the safety deposit box is also handy for storage for excess inventory items. -It is totally free. -In order to use items in the SDB,you must remove them from the SDB and back into your inventory INVENTORY Your inventory is where your items go when you first buy them.Items in your iventory may be equipped,fed etc to your pet.You may also stock items from your inventory but any items in your inventory are at danger of being stolen so items which you are not using,put em in the Safety Deposit Box. Quick Stock The quick stock menu is a place where you can quickly move items in your inventory to your shop,SDB,donate them to the money tree or discard them. Quick stock allows you to move multiple items at once so it is very handy and much quicker than going through each item individually. +================+ = Opening a Shop = +================+ Ahh,one of the first things you should do is open a shop.It costs 200np but it is needed for restocking.So if you are restocking,then it is esstential. For the non-restocker,open one anyway to sell unwanted prizes etc. OPTIONS Name your shop-Well,what do you think? Description-This is the line which people will see on the shop front.You can also put HTML codes for shop blogs.Shop blogs are pictures which make the background of your shop more colourful. Shopkepper-You can choose from about 100.Choose a shop keeper which suits your shop. Shopkeeper Greeting-This is the phrase which the shop keeper will say to greet customers. World-Choose which world your shop is located in.There is Neopia Central, Mystery Island or Haunted Woods. After choosing these options,click 'create shop' and you have your very own shop. Putting items in the shop I explained how do do this earlier so look at the items section for more info. Selling Items Now,First thing is first,look the item up on the shop wizard and look at the cheapest price.Put you item a few nps below that (not many,at most 100) Now stock the item you want to sell in your shop and price the item. Now you have to wait and don't fret if your item doesn't sell within a few minutes.Some items will take 10 seconds to sell while others will take a week so be patient with less common items.Items like Codestones,Paint Brushes and Dubloons sell very quickly if the cheapest. MAKING YOUR SHOP LARGER At first you can only fit 5 items in your shop.But you can make your shop size larger and therefore increase the number of items which can fit into your shop.The first upgrade only costs 200np but as the chart shows below the price increases with each upgrade. SHOP SIZE COST MAX.NO OF ITEMS 1 0 5 2 200 10 3 400 15 4 600 20 5 800 25 6 1000 30 I think you get the pattern now.A shop size 100 can carry 500 items. NOTES -The maximum price for any item in a shop is 250000np.Anything over 100000np cannot be brought normally. -The larger your shop,the higher up it will be on the market (doesn't make any difference on the shop wizard) +==================+ =PART FOUR = =Games = +==================+ Well,you say,why am I writing a guide for games?From my mediocre tournament score,it is clear that I suck.Maybe I just haven't had the luck in the tourney.Well ok,I am ok at the games but I am not great at them. Well,games are a major part of neopets so it would be stupid not to include them in my guide.And really I am not too bad at some of the games and I have quite a bit of knowledge about them so here they are. Ahh,games.Now I will not list every game here but the ones in my opinion that are the best for making NP or are the funnest to play.For most of the games I list though,I will go into detail about them.If you want help on another game not listed here,you can see another FAQ on gamefaqs or you can also check out Ringworm's Game Guide on game FAQS. For now,I will at the very least,list info on every game from #-Z but not all games will have strategies,etc. The following games have detailed guides -Ultimate Bullseye -Volcano Run -Turmac Roll -Meerca Chase For now,if you want more info on a game which has no tips,then you can check out another FAQ.I reccomend either Jelly Soups FAQ or Ringworm's Games FAQ. Submitting strategies/tips for games Now I am accepting strategies for games.If you know of any strategies/tips not listed here,send them in! I will also give each game a general rating out of 5. =============================================================================== 200 M Peanut Dash Play Limit:3 times per day NP ratio:75np per 100 points scored Learning Curve:Medium Difficulty:Medium Profit:Easy Enjoyment:Moderate Replayability:Low Rating:3 Information: Start by shooting the peanut out of the Elephante's trunk. Click on the left and right arrow keys to power up your throw. Once you get as high as you can, click the up arrow to throw. Now help the Puppyblew chase the peanut down using the arrow keys again. Use the right arrow to move the Puppyblew forward in the screen and stay lined up with the shadow. To avoid the logs, make the Puppyblew jump using one of the following key combinations: Left Up Right => Front Flip Right Up Left => Back Flip Up Right => Straight Jump Left Right Left Right Up => 2x Front Flip Right Left Right Left Up => 2x Backflip I play this game occasionally.It ain't too bad,except it is very glitchy. Good game for NP.You can earn on average 600 np per game and each game will only take 3-5 mins. Tips from Nemesis -The games timing seems to be slightly off.If you jump just before a log, the puppyblew will crash on the log.So try to memorise the positions of the logs.And jump a bit before it. -The logs are not always in the same positions.There is usually one log every 20 metres,sometimes 30.Logs do not appear before 50 metres. -When the elephante is getting energy for spitting the peanut,do not press the up arrow to release until the bar is full.If your computer cannot stand a lot of button mashing,at the very least release it on red. -Sometimes the bar can go beyond full and you can spit it 220-230 metres, making it possible to get over 1000.This is rare though. -Do a double Front Flip/Back Flip when catching the peanut for an extra 50 points. -Don't miss a peanut or you get nothing for that round. =============================================================================== Advert Attack Information: ... it's the latest game from Virtupets Studios - Super Race. It's a no-holds barred race to the finish where you control Ace Zafara and try and sprint faster than the computer-controlled Race Robot. Click on the 'Go!' button as many times as you can to make Ace run faster. However, the marketing department of Virtupets Studios has been trying lately to earn extra revenues from this game's popularity... you have been warned! Tips from Nemesis -I haven't played this game much (once,didn't submit score).So I will not have many tips here. -The only thing I have heard of is that it is best to play on fullscreen or you might accidentally close the screen,thinking it is an ad in the actual game. =============================================================================== Attack of the Marblemen Limit-3 plays per day NP ratio:300np per 100 points Rating:0.5 I hate this game.Probably one of the worst games on neopets.Nuff said really. Information: Barry the Baby Shoyru was playing Marbles last night - and forgot to put them away. Now they are very, very angry! Help Barry guide his marbles back to his toy box before they escape and wreak havoc upon Neopia! Playing is simple - use the mouse to click on a bouncer (little triangles that make up the background). The Marblemen will bounce off the bouncer. Your aim - to get all the Marblemen back into the toy box! Tips from Nemesis -Get a screen shot of every level and memorize.Really only thing I can think of.I ain't gonna waste my precious time again on such a horrible game. =============================================================================== Bumper Cars Limit:3 plays per day NP Ratio:100 NP per 100 Points Rating:3 Information: Bang and Smash your way to the top in our new game - BUMPER CARS. Up to 4 players can play at the same time!!! For 1 player use the arrow keys to move left right, accelerate and brake. If you wish to play with more than one person at the keyboard, each person gets to use their own keys (it will tell you which keys when you start playing) Hmm,A game which I only played a few times,it is kinda fun.Pity it doesn't have better graphics so you can see the cars burst into flames! Tips from Nemesis: -Don't run into the wall,it does a lot of damage to your car. -Don't play defensively,always be on the offense and ram into the other cars no matter what. -Remeber,you can't earn np from multiplayer. =============================================================================== Carnival Of terror Limit-3 plays a day NP Ratio-100np per 100 points Rating-3 A fun, colourful and exciting carnival used to move around Neopia, thrilling its residents with their amazing shows... until THEY came... Moving to the Haunted Woods may not have been the best idea. Your job is to visit the haunted carnival and take on the Robot Chia Clowns. Use the mouse to aim, and the mouse button to shoot. Collect the time, health, and ammo bonuses for more time, health, and ammo respectively. Good Luck! Tips from Nemesis -Shoot the arms first,then the body,head and finally legs for the most points -Always collect the Ammo,health and time bonuses. -When the pie comes up,hit it straight away or you will lose health. -When you are nearly out of ammo,the ammo bar will flash.Try to wait for an ammo box then resume normal shooting.Running out of time while trying to get ammo is a risk which should be taken,instead of a couple of extra points =============================================================================== Chemistry for Beginners You are in a very scary lab... in a very scary part of the Haunted Woods... The object of the game is to build molecules from the atoms given to you. You only have a limited number of atoms available, so place them carefully! Refer to the chart to see which molecules can be built. When you reach the needed score for that level, you will advance to the next level where more advanced molecules can be built. Avoid unstable compounds - if you build one of them, or if you run out of atoms to build with, you lose the game! Haven't bothered to play this game at all.So see another faq for more info. =============================================================================== Chia Bomber Limit:3 plays per day NP Ratio:200np per 100 points Overall:4 Information: Chia Bombers have invaded Geoffrey Chia's neighbourhood and are attacking him and his friends with their nasty mud-slinging bazookas! Geoffrey has set out with his home made water-balloon gun in an effort to drive them out of town! NEW - Chia Bomber has been made much more challenging with extra enemies for you to splat! Watch out for the Black and Gold Chia Bombers! Ahh,I played this game in the Flash Game Tournament recently and I really like it.This is undoubtebly one of the best games on neopets.Great Fun! Tips from nemesis: -Always go for the weakest chia's first. -As the levels go on,they seem to get smarter and they seem to be more aggressive -The stronger the chia is,the smarter it is also. -Try to be as accurate and quick as possible.Therefore you get more bonus points. -I have never come across a black or gold chia before,but I am sure they appear a lot once you get upto the really high levels -Try to lay mines at corners or intersections,or places where the chia's most often go (at the edge of the screen) -This game is better on low quality.Although you can't get it on low quality normally.What you have to do is run it in your normal browser window and go up to the address bar.Then use the arrows to see the entire link until you come to "quality=high".Change the high to low and it will be on low quality.No you can't do that any other way. -If the chia is blue or higher,when you hit the chia, a number will appear on top of it's head.Thats how many more hits it can take before being killed, =============================================================================== Chomby and the fungus balls Information: Help the Chomby dodge the evil fungus balls and find his way to the end of each level. If the game stops at the start of level 6, just press the Space Bar to get it going again. Comment: Eck,I have never played this game before.But from whzt I have heard about the game,it has poor controls and is very difficult.So I would give it a miss =============================================================================== Codebreakers Limit:3 plays per Day NP Ratio: Rating-0.5 Information: Can you solve the puzzle and break the ancient alien codes? Try to decipher the mysterious runes and place them in the correct order. Watch out, the codes get tougher as time goes on. THE most boring game on neopets.Playing this game is better than counting sheep in terms of sleep inducing methods,so if you can't go to sleep,play this game you will be asleep within 10 minutes.Some people have played the game for the sake of a trophy or for FAQ writing and I am not one of them.I will probably never play this game again unless I need a method of sleep inducing.For some more detailed explanation of this game and for tips,see Ringworm's games FAQ. To make a long paragraph short,codebreakers=zzz... =============================================================================== Deckball Limit:3 plays per day NP ratio:300np per 100pts scored Rating:2 Information Its Pawkeet against Mirgle in this deck-top battle of the Petpets. A disused pirate galleon off the coast of Krawk Island is home to the fabulous game of Deckball!!! You can earn different amounts of Neopoints depending on what type game you play. This is one of those games you either love or hate.I am a hater.It is very hard for the average player to get a decent amount of NP which ruins it for me.Although the game is fun,the (very) low profit factor and the mediocre controls make this game a pain to play. =============================================================================== Deckswabber Limits:3 plays per day NP ratio:150np per 100 points Rating:2.5 Information: Ahoy me hearties, swab the deck turning all the squares the same colour gathering loot as you go. Collect the gold, the chests, and the magical puzzle boxes, but avoid the scurvy brutes at all costs, lest ye meet ya doom! If you get killed, you can start from the same level up to three times, but you will lose 30 points. Well,havent played this game in a while.From what I remember,it ain't that bad. =============================================================================== Defender Trainer Limit:3 plays per day NP ratio: Rating:2.5 Information: Have you got what it takes to be a Defender of Neopia? Whip-like reflexes? Instant Neopet recognition? We're looking for the serious, the dedicated, the determined, the... the... well, you get the idea! You will be presented a gallery of pictures of either Neopets, Petpets, Items or any combination thereof and a question. (A question such as, 'which starts with the letter L'). You have to click on the picture that is the right answer in the fastest time possible. Comment: It sounds simple,but under the heat of time,it isn't.If you have got a good knowledge of neopets,then this is the game for you. Tips From Nemesis -Sometimes,the pictures of the pets/items will be a shadow,will be upside down or something like that. -Unlike most games,where I always reccomend you play hard,this is one of the few games where you should play medium. -Sometimes,the question will be reversed.Don't get tricked by it. -I always seem to get up to the level which is about anagrams of items then bomb out. -Try to learn every pet and petpets name.Also try to memorise certain items names. =============================================================================== Destruct-o-match II Limit:3 plays per day NP ratio:35np per 100np scored Rating:4.5 There is a lovely patch of land, down by a stream that would just be a perfect place to build your Tyrannian village, but there is a problem. Boulders everywhere! Blue boulders, yellow boulders, red boulders... and they have to be cleared before you start building. In Destruct-O-Match II you have to group up boulders of the same colour, and then click to remove them. Only groups of 2 or more matching boulders can be removed in this way. The more boulders you clear at once the more points you earn, and to progress to the next level you need to achieve a certain number of points. Some boulders have symbols on - if you manage to clear one of these boulders then something special will happen. Check the in-game instructions to find out what each icon does! This game gained popularity so darn quickly,and with good reason.A very good improvement on the original and In my opinion one of the better games out there.Just takes a bit of practice to earn a decent amount of np. Tips from Nemesis -There are 3 modes.Normal,extreme and Zen.Normal mode is like the old destruct-o-match,extreme mode is where there boulders continally build up and you have got to destroy them.It gets harder as the game goes on.And zen mode is practice.No timer,just normal mode without the stress. -Extreme mode is the best points wise -Always attempt to destroy the Morph Boulder (the one counting down) first.Or it will become indestructible (it can still be destroyed with the fire boulder though) -Look for the overkill boulder and use it in a pair or combo to rid of all the blocks of that colour.It will make life easier.You might want to get the points for those rocks though which is fine. -Look at the colour of the x3 block.Then try to get it in a huge combo.It is often a passport to the next level. -Use the fire boulder last,so you can destroy any remaining boulders. -The fall down block (the one which makes more boulders fall down) can be your best friend or worst enemy.You just have to hope for the best. -In extreme mode,everytime the screen is totally empty of boulders,you get a 50 point bonus -Zen mode is great for practice! =============================================================================== Dubloon Disaster Play limit-3 times a day Np Ratio-600np per 100 points Rating:3.5 After a successful raid on Krawk Harbour a small pirate ship tries to escape. However they didnt count on the Black Pawkeet, the most feared pirate ship of all. You play Dorak, an enterprising young Krawk in a rowing boat. Try and salvage as much of the treasure as possible, but avoid the homing mines that are being fired from the Black Pawkeet. Use the left and right arrow keys to turn, up arrow key to accelerate and the down arrow key to reverse. Think if the Meerca chase was on water and the red neggs moved and you have got dubloon disaster.A good game albeit not as good as meerca chase. Tips from Nemesis -I have never got a 200 dubloon coin so don't count on getting one. -For every coin you collect,a mine will appear -The strategy to the game is this.Collect 2 coins.Then position yourself so that you are in the middle of the 2 mines.Now they will come and when they get close,quickly go away and they should collide,therefore making them both explode.If not,repeat until they do explode.Repeat the process.This takes a lot of practice by the way... -Occasionally,a whirlpool will appear,these can be your best friend or your worst enemy.If you are at the edge,Press down the arrow hard so you are forcing your self away from the whirlpool.Now if you avoid it,all the mines on screen will be gone. -Codes-Type in scallywags to make a whirlpool appear.Get to one of the corners and try it.Now the mines should be swept away.Note that sometimes the whirlpool can appear right near you and claim you.Also,you can't use this cheat more than once per game. =============================================================================== Escape From Meridell Castle Limit-3 plays per day NP Ratio-200np per 100 points Rating:3.5 Valrigard the Draik has been imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Can you help him Escape from Meridell Castle ? Use the arrow keys to fly and walk the platforms. Be careful to watch your energy meter, if it runs out Valrigard will not be able to sustain flight.The Space Bar controls your sword, and it will work on most enemies. Good luck! Adventure games.my favourite genre of Video Games.Fustration ruins this game although.Some people have compared this to the original Mario Bros' games on the NES.No where near as good I must say.Still a good game though. Also,you can create your own levels,which is fun! Tips From Nemesis -Some Spikes you can clip without dying while others you cant put a hair on or you will die.An example of this is at the end of the first level on the last set of spikes.There are ones pointing down and ones on the right.If you touch the ones on the right the slightest bit you will die.However the ones pointing down,you can clip with your wings and still not die -Only get stars which are in the open,not surrounded by spikes -Killing enemies gets you points so try to kill them. -Don't forget to check your energy while flying. -Always try to get the ? boxes.They can contain up to 500 points but the highest I have got is 100. =============================================================================== Evil Fuzzles from beyond the stars Limit:3 plays per day Np Ratio:100np per 100pts Rating:3.5 Information: *KABOOM* *BANG* - Mutant Fuzzles are attacking the Virtupets Space Station!!! You play Zygorax, a third class maintenance worker responsible for waste disposal... but instead of neocola cans and juppie stalks, today you have to dispose of something far far scarier... Hop inside your X-Scrub 4000 Walker Bot and patrol the outside of the space station, using your laser cannons to shoot the enemies. Earn points for each kill, and spend these at the end of each level to upgrade your walker. Use the mouse to move the cross hairs and the mouse button to shoot Rotate Left : b Rotate Right : n Smart Bomb : Space Played it once for the tournament,quite a good game.I can't get past level six though for some reason. Tips from nemesis -Always buy guns before anything else.Buy Hull repairs at the end of each level,if possible. -Only hit shells which are coming directly at you. -Once you get to 10 hits in the bonus,claim the bonus.X3 is the highest it will go up to. =============================================================================== Extreme Herder Limit-3 plays per day Np Ratio-400np per 100 points Rating-3 In this game, you play Samrin the Kacheek, a simple shepherd who has to get his petpets to safety before Balthazar (who is very hungry after a day hunting faeries) eats them all. Use the Arrow Keys to move. You automatically pick up each petpet as you touch it (use the Space Bar to drop the petpet). Try and put them all into the paddock before Balthazar eats them. You have three lives, and you lose one each time you, or a petpet gets eaten. Picking up a Snowflake will freeze Balthazar temporarily, and picking up an orange speed orb will give you a temporary burst of speed! Hmm,not bad.Requires a bit of luck to get a decent score though.It all depends on the positioning of petpets. Tips from nemesis -Always go for the petpets nearest to Balthazar first. -If there is a snowflake near you,pick it up.However,if it is away from you, don't pick it up since you will lose time rather than gain time -Never let Balthazar eat the Bonus pet (the one with the star on its head) -On each side,on the walls there are little grey patches.These are warps. The one on the right goes to the left and vice versa while the one at the top goes to the bottom and vice versa. -As the game goes on,There will be less entrances to the paddock.For the first few levels there are 4 but then it goes 3,2 and eventually only 1. -For speed orbs,look at the second tip (snowflakes) and do the same for speed orbs. =============================================================================== Extreme Potato Counter Limit-3 plays Np Ratio-700np per 100 points Rating:2 Information: You thought potato counting was boring, eh? Think again. It's back, it's awesome, and its totally tuber-ler! Some totally radical potatoes are going to fly past the screen, and I want you to tell me how many you saw. Easy, huh? Now get counting! Sounds easy,let me tell you it isn't. =============================================================================== Faerie Bubbles Limit:3 plays PD Np Ratio:75np per 100 points Rating:3 Information: Faerie Bubbles pop if you get three of the same type together, and it's up to you to clear each level by popping all of them. Use the left and right arrow keys to move the bubble cannon and press the space bar to fire. If you get four or more bubbles together you will set off a combo. The first three are good combos, and the bottom three are bad combos. Water - This destroys all water bubbles on the screen. Light - This changes all bubbles touching the combo to a random colour. Fire - This burns all non-water bubbles that touch the combo. Air - This is BAD. Don't do an air combo, seriously. Earth - This makes a new line of bubbles appear. Dark - All the bubbles in the combo will turn to random types. The less moves you complete each level in, the higher your score will be. Also look out for Nova and Rainbow bubbles, each with their own special effects! Just in case you didn't know - you can click the little X in the top left hand corner of the game screen to get options such as turn music off and restart. Tips from Nemesis -Don't do the last three combos,if you can help it. -Codes faeriebubbles- Makes all bubbles one type (random) stardust-Makes bubble a nova bubble faerieland-makes bubble a rainbow bubble -Using a ruler helps =============================================================================== Faerie Cloud Racers Information: Hop into your Cloud Racer, and try to head your opponent off with your thick smoke trails. Use the arrow keys to navigate the racer. Try and last as long as possible against various opponents without hitting either the walls or either of the two smoke trails left by your racers. Haven't played this game at all.I will have to try it one day. =============================================================================== Feed Florg Limit-3 plays Np Ratio-100np per 100 points Rating-3 Information: Florg hungry... Florg like petpets. You keep petpets on plate, Florg eats them. Florg no like when petpets fall on floor! Florg's favourite food is Hasee and Kadoatie... Florg think Slorgs are yuck. Use the arrow keys to move the hand around the table. Try and keep as many petpets on the table for as long as possible so Florg can eat them. If 5 petpets fall on the floor its game over. An OK game,one which I done quite well in on the flash game tournament. Still don't play it much though. Tips from Nemesis -ALWAYS use the keyboard option. -Remember that the hand is very fast so you can save a petpet from falling even if the hand is on the other side.For a guide,it can do 360 degrees in 1.5 seconds. -Although it says florg thinks slorgs are yuck in the info,he will still eat them.They arent bad or anything,they are just worth less points than other petpets. -I think Kadoaties are worth the most. =============================================================================== Grundo Snowthrow Limit-3 plays per day Np Ratio-300np per 100 points scored Rating-2.5 The snowbeasts are attacking our Grundos with snowballs. Help them fight back. Use the mouse to move Grundo and throw snowballs. The longer you hold the mouse button down, the further the snowballs will travel. A very basic game.Probably the first game I started to earn neopoints in. Very good for beginners. Tips from Nemesis -Not a great game,but very good for some quick NP. -ALWAYS hit your target!!! Because unless you get 90% accuracy,you won't get many points! -Only use one grundo at a time and try to keep the other 2 out of the action. -Yellow snowbeasts are worth more points -Do not shoot while the snow beasts have stars on their head.Because they will not hit and it will affect your accuracy score. =============================================================================== Gourmet Club Bowls Limit-3 plays Np Ratio-100np per 100 points Rating-2 Information: What better way to relax after a nice plate of rare, expensive food than a game of bowls. We don't mean bowling either, that game has no finesse, no skill. We mean bowls! In this game, you play against a variety of opponents. You each get to roll one of your bowls (yours are red, your opponent's are blue) down the green to try and get it closest to the jack (the white ball). You may knock your opponent's bowls out of play, and he may do the same to you, but if the jack goes out of play your opponent gets 2 points. At the end of each round, points are awarded depending on the number of bowls in play that you have nearest to the jack. If there are two blue balls closest, that means you score two points. The first to 7 wins the match, and moves on to play a harder opponent! Lastly, watch out, in later levels there may be hazards on the green that will hinder your play. Just like bowls in real life,Boring.Well Neopets has to cater for all ages eh? One for your grandpa if he ever goes on :P Tips -Always type in shepherd at the beginning,it doubles your points for the entire game! =============================================================================== Grand Theft Unmagine Limit-3 plays per day NP ratio-200np per 100 points Rating-2.5 Information In this game you play Stan the Kyrii, a wily thief sneaking his way around the city of Sakhmet trying to steal some food to eat. Unfortunately, life is not that simple - there are scary Elephante guards who will do their best to catch you and throw you in the castle dungeons! Use the arrow keys to move Stan around Sakhmet. Pick up the fruit, and get out of each level as fast as possible. If you find any magic items on your travels, you can activate them by clicking on their icons! OK game,although boring sometimes.I personally hate the controls in this game. Tips from nemesis -The Elephante Guards are so dumb that they dont think of going around anything -There are a few levels in the game which have no guards and are just mazes. Although good for a rest,these are very boring and repetitive =============================================================================== Hannah and the pirate caves Limit-3 plays Np Ratio 1NP per 100 points Rating-4.5 Information Hannah the Usul always wanted a life of danger. Unfortunately, working in a tavern on Krawk Island was both boring and badly-paid. One day she was reading an old book that spoke of ancient caves, built by pirates many years ago - a place where they could hide their loot, but unfortunately guarded by traps and monsters. Hannah couldn't wait - this was exactly the thing she'd been looking for. The aim of the game is to collect all the treasure and get to the exit. Use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to jump. The game has an excellent tutorial, so we recommend that you go through that first. Good luck - Hannah is counting on you! Great game,you can create your own levels and everything.Look out for a detailed guide here in the near future. Tips from nemesis -Collect the gems. -Remember,1 hit and you lose a life so avoid enemies unless you think you can kill them. -Use Tutorial mode to get the hang of the game before diving into the real thing. -Dont blow dynamite in your face,be careful when around it. -The water is always rising so try to be quick. =============================================================================== Igloo Garage Sale-The Game Limit-3 plays per Day Np-Ratio-75np per 100 points Rating:4 Mika and Carassa are at it again, it seems their attic of old bric-a-brac is constantly full! Use the arrow keys to control Mika left and right to pick up the items that Carassa throws down the screen, and use the up key to jump. Be careful not to break anything - if you drop five items in any one level its GAME OVER! One of the better games on neopets.Get used to the physics and you should be fine. Tips from Nemesis -Get used to the physics of this game.Just like in real life,ice is very slippery so this game takes a while to get used to -Try not to drop anything in the earlier levels as you get bonuses if you catch all the items! -Be careful of bombs and pianos.Bombs will only stun you but if a piano lands on you,then it is an instant game over.Once a bomb hits the ground,it takes a few seconds to explode so keep away from it. -If you have to let drop one of two items,catch the one of higher value. -Some items will drop real fast will others will drop uber-slow so keep that in mind. =============================================================================== Meerca Chase Limit-3 plays per day NP Ratio-100np per 100 points Rating:5 To play Meerca Chase you must move the Meerca around the maze eating the Happiness Neggs using the arrow keys. The more you eat, the longer your tail gets! If you bump into the walls, or hit your own tail then you lose. The more Neggs you eat, the more points. Good Luck! Remember, stay away from the Red Neggs. If you pick up one of those, you lose. THE most popular game ever on neopets (always in top 3 of most popular games each day).It is like the game snake,which can be found on most older mobiles. Very addicting indeed. Now I have included the main part of my FAQ on meerca chase here.I will update this just like the individual Guide. Ahh,I have self-plagerized myself:) Neopets (Online Only/Web) Meerca Chase Guide By nemesis2 (nemmysmailbox@yahoo.com.au) -------------- Introduction ------------- Ahh this is my third FAQ for Neopets,The other 2 are for Ultimate Bullseye and a Chance/Freebies Guide.You should check them out as well.

Remember, stay away from the Red Neggs. If you pick up one of those, you lose. ------------- OTHER INFO ------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/games/meercachase.phtml NP Ratio-100NP per 100 points Limit-3 times a day -------------- B-Game Guide -------------- ========================== a.Quality and Difficulty ========================== After the game loads,you will be at the Title Screen.You will be able to choose the quality of the graphics (high,medium low) and the difficulty of the game (Easy,Medium or Hard).Already,You have ome crucial decisions to make.First The higher the difficulty,the more points you get(x3 negg value for easy,5x for medium and 8x for hard.)but also the faster it goes. If you are good at the game,choose the hard difficulty.Medium is for the average player.You dont make points too slowly nor is it very difficult.You make points at a reasonable rate so unless you are in a big rush,I would choose medium.Now to Easy.This is EASY (Hence the name),you will make a lot of points but a snail will be able to climb up a waterfall by the time you are done and it gets boring quickly.My reccomendation is that you go medium. Not too hard but not too slow. Now to the quality.This game is not the most graphically advanced game in the world so unless your computer is really bad,than choose high.Even if it is a little bit slower (A little bit...) it will be easier for you since you will be able to dodge red neggs more efficiently ========================= b.Negg Values ========================= The aim of Meerca Chase is to collect neggs.Some are worth more points than others.So here is a list of each negg and its values.Obviously,the lower value neggs are more common. Yellow Negg-1pt (very common) Dark Blue Negg-3pts (common) Green Negg-4pts (common) Gray Negg-5pts (common) 'fluro' negg-10pts (rare) Rainbow Negg-20pts (rare) Fish Neggs-50pts (VERY RARE Yellow neggs are by far the most common,they appear lets say 75% of the time. Dark Blue,Green and Gray are about the same in rarity,appearing about 22% of the time when put together. Yellow and Red neggs and Rainbow Neggs appear about 1.75% of the time when put together. And Fish neggs are very rare,Appearing probably only once in 500 neggs.If you get a fish negg,you should consider yourself lucky. By the way I have never got 2 fish neggs in the same game nor a Fish and a Rainbow Negg in the same game together.But it is possible,thanks to playin_bassclarinet for confirming that you can get a FN and a RN in the same game. Now to Red Neggs.For more information,see the next section,the ways of dying. ====================== c.The Ways of dying ====================== In meerca Chase,there are 3 ways of dying. 1.Hit a red Negg 2.Hit the edge of the screen or wall 3.Hit your Tail Now I will explain in detail how each of these can happen and ways of preventing them. ================ 1.Hit a Red Negg ================ Sometimes after you collect a negg,a red negg will appear somewhere on the playing field.If you run into one of these it is game over. Avoiding red neggs is usually simple,just go around them. But sometimes after you collect a negg,a red negg will appear right in front of you,almost certainly bringing a game over.There is nothing you can do about the above. -Sometimes there will be a game where no red neggs will appear even after the player has collected 20 or more neggs.This is very rare though and on average,they usually appear after you collect every second negg. -Sometimes also,a negg will appear in a place surrounded by a wall and down blow it is a red negg,like shown in the diagram -Just also another note,red neggs appear more in Hard mode than Medium or Easy. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ......m nw xw x x w w M=Meerca ...=Tail N=Hapiness Negg X=Red Negg W=Wall I know it looks poor but it will do. Now what happens here is that you will have to go and collect the negg located in the corner of the playing screen.No,it wont dissapear if you leave it for 2 minutes or even 2 days for that matter.Now you will go and collect the negg.But it is an inevitable game over because if you go down,you get hit by the red negg.If you go straight ahead you will hit the wall and there is no way you can go backwards,so its a no win situation. ============== 2.Hit the Walls ============== When you hit the edge of the screen,it is game over so avoid the edges if you can.Even if you go near the edge however,there is a couple of things you can do. 1.For horizontal walls wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww w.......m------\ w | w | w | Once again w is the walls,m is the meerca and ... is the tail. Just follow the dashed lines.Dont mistime a turn though or otherwise it could be game over for you. 2.For Vertical Walls wwwwwwwwww w /------- w | w | w | w m w . w . w . w . Just follow the dashed lines.Once again,dont misque a turn or otherwise its game over for you. Those diagrams are examples of 2 ways you can do it.I am not creating 1000 diagrams of all the ways you can get out of the edge.Also consider red neggs and your tail. ================ 3.Hit your Tail ================ Every time you get a negg,your "tail" gets bigger.If you hit your tail,it is game over for you. Now to avoid this,you must go in a square like formation. As your tail gets bigger,it gets harder to avoid so be ware of your tail at all times. ================== d.Tips =================== -Always play on high graphic settings.This game does not require much power to run and besides,it will make your timing that little bit easier. -Go in a square formation to decrease your chance of hitting your tail. -Stay away from the walls if you can -I have experimented with each difficuty and medium is the best difficulty. -If the yellow negg at the beginning starts behind you,then there is a higher chance of a fish negg in that game. Out of the 5 times I have got a fish negg,4 times the beginning negg was behind the meerca. -Try to practice offline by minimizing the game on the toolbar.You must load it while on line but if you practise then,you will eventually get real good at this game -I have never got two of a Fish Negg and a Rainbow Negg in the same game. Also if you see a Rainbow Negg or a Fish Negg don't expect to see the other because in 500 games I have never got both in the same game.But is possible as playin_bassclarinet comfirmed that,but a very rare occurence. -Any size screen works reasonably well for this game although I prefer either Normal or Fullscreen -Red Neggs appear in a group around the same area most of the time.If you see an area with lots of Red Neggs,try to avoid that area if you can. ================ e.Secrets ================ At the start screen,if you click the right hand corner of the screen(Don't close it down)the cursor will have the words j boogie following the cursor. /\ /\ *** Well I have been meaning to find out whether the j boogie cursor affects the game.I e-mailed TNT and this is the response I got "It is a secret,We cannot tell you" or something like that.I e-mailed a reply and I still have not got a response so if anyone knows,please e-mail me about it. There was a cheat where you could get a super hard mode,but that was in the old version of meerca chase and the current version doesn't have it.

Fish Negg Count=24 :p copyright Brady Greene (nemesis2) 2004 =============================================================================== Mootix Drop Limit-3 plays per day Np Ratio-120np per 100 points Rating-4 Whenever there was trouble, Harry was ready. He was a commando first and a Mootix second, and danger was his middle name (which was nice because he didn't have a last one.) In Mootix Drop you play Harry, and your job is to successfully parachute down into a number of increasingly hard missions. Using the latest Mootix technology your target has been digitally superimposed on the ground below you, and you have to hit as close to the centre of the target as possible. To play, use the space bar to launch, and the arrow keys to guide Harry to the target. On the way down there will be a number of rings to fly through. Make sure you guide Harry through as many as possible in order to maximise your score. Flying through the centre of a ring will give you double points! If you quickly tap left or right twice in succession, Harry will do a barrel roll. Once you have completed easy mode you will be given the option to progress to medium, and then eventually hard modes. Good luck! Not a great game but not bad either.Get to know where the rings are positioned on each level etc and you should do fine. Tips From Nemesis -Easy is the best mode for NP.You can get up to 700np for a perfect easy game. -Try to land on the small target,you will get more points. -Single missions are good for practice for the actual missions game. -If you want a trophy or 1000np,you have to play the harder modes. -Always try to aim at the centre of the ring,as you get 4 points instead of 2 for a perfect ring -When landing,use the Mootix's shadow as a guide =============================================================================== Pterattack Limit:3 Plays a day NP Ratio:100np per 100 points Rating:3 Information: Fly around the canyons of Tyrannia shooting the evil Pterodactyls and Grarrls! There are three weapons in total to collect, and each one can be upgraded multiple times. Good luck! Use the arrow keys to move, and space to fire! A good game,although I wouldn't be playing it a lot.Takes too long to get a good score. Tips from Nemesis -Blue Weapons are the best.Collect 5 blue to get the Double Phaser.The Double Phaser is awesome.I can get 1000 points by using it. -NEVER get green powerups.They are slow and dodgy -Remember when the grarrls come move to the side. -Sometimes BIG grarrls (grarrl is one of those annoying words which is hard to spell,I hate typing it) will come on the screen and cover about 2/3 of the screen!If they do come,move up to the top. -Also this game takes a while to get a decent amount of NP so make Sure you have the time to play it. -If you collect lets say 2 blue upgrades then collect a red,you will go back to the default red upgrade.So make sure you get one colour (Blue I Reccomend,red is okay too) and STICK TO IT! -Once you get to 900 or so points,pteris begin flying across the screen as well,instead of just down. =============================================================================== Trouble At the National Neopian Limit:3 plays per day NP Ratio:100np per 100 points Rating:4 You're a cashier at the National Neopian, and it's an extremely busy day! Not only are people coming in by the dozen to deposit money, a nasty band of thieves has decided to come and steal it all. It's your job to work the security system to keep the customers in and the robbers out! To control the security system you must use the keyboard. The keys S, D, F control the three doors to the left of the screen, and the keys J, K, L control the other three. Only press the security system when you see a robber! You'll recognise the bad guys by their wanted posters below. Also, there is a rumour that a new mystery criminal who has recently escaped jail is on the loose. If you don't activate the alarm, the robber will steal half of your Neopoints! (the ones in the game, not the ones you have earned!) Also, pressing the alarm for no reason will cost you for unnecessary use of the alarm system (it's expensive to maintain!) Lastly, you can press the Space Bar to turn 100 NP into a big gold bar (robbers can't steal those as they are too heavy!) This is one of the games which I like,but I am not good at.My reflexes are very poor indeed.I can still get 500 points per game though. TROUBLE AT THE NATIONAL NEOPIAN,DETAILED GUIDE By-Nemesis2 +=========+ =BASICS = +=========+ DOORS-There are 6 doors which you must watch all at once.SDF controls the left three while JKL controls the right 3 alarms CUSTOMERS-The customers have come to the bank to deposit their earnings. For every customer served,you get points.Some are worth more than others. Very rarely,a cartoon version of Adam will appear as a customer and give you 50 points.Don't lock the customers out,you will lose a life ROBBERS-Robbers are bad.They steal the banks money.If a robber gets past the alarm they steal half of the banks np (no not your real np) excluding gold bars.There are 4 different robbers in total,3 which are mentioned in the info screen,1 is a 'mystery' and he looks like a red Techo although it won't take a lot of time to get to know him. ALARM-You press the doors specific key to activate the alarm.These are SDF for the left three in order from the far left door to the third one,and JKL for the right three,once again in order from left to right.You use the alarm to prevent a robber getting in to the bank and thus stealing half of your neopoints.Be ware though,if you use the alarm for no reason,you lose 10 np (not your real np).What is even worse though,if you activate the alarm on a customer that isn't a robber,you lose a life as well as 10 neopoints.So only use the alarm if you see a robber. NEOPOINTS-No,your real ones ain't used in this game fortuantely. The bank gets neopoints from the transactions it makes,but unfortuantely robbers will attempt to steal your well earned neopoints.Remember once you get 100 neopoints,press the space bar to turn your neopoints into a gold bar.Those are too heavy for robbers to carry.Remember pressing the spacebar when you don't have 100 neopoints will result in a 10np loss. WALKTHROUGH You need very good reflexes for TANT. At the beginning,the game is very slow and tiring.You shouldn't lose a life within the first 100 points.The next 100 points are a bit harder but still shouldn't be any problem.Be slightly careful,the customers here are made to look more like robbers.After 200 points,it begins to get a bit faster and the mystery robber (red techo) will make his first appearance,so get to know him.After 300 is where the game suddendly gets tough very fast (bad pun).Just don't worry about the other customers and concentrate on the robbers!!!Don't turn your neopoints into a gold bar unless you have a little spare time.I know this may sound stupid but if you press the space bar,you will often lose a life shortly after. Beyond 400,it gets tougher and tougher.I myself have only reached about 620.Some people can make 8000 and beyond.I have very average reflexes so I dont expect to get that high.Maybe 2000 in the near future. +=================+ =Screen/Graphics = +=================+ I found out that playing it on fullscreen and high quality doesn't really affect the speed that much.So,for this game,I like to play on fullscreen and high,just because it looks better! +==================+ =Tips in a shell = +==================+ Just tips and info shortened a little. -This Game can get hard QUICK so always be on your toes -If you activate the alarm and a normal customer is behind it,you lose a life -The mystery robber is the red techo guy. -Usually,robbers will appear through the same doors for a while so if one robber appears in one door,expect a few others to pop through the same door -A very rare event,Sometimes Adam (founder of neopets) will be one of the customers and will give you 50 neopoints (in the game,not really) -Press the spacebar as soon as you get 100np or a robber might come and steal a heckva lot of money. -Once you lose one life,you seem to lose a couple more.Try to concentrate again after the loss of a life. =============================================================================== Ultimate Bullseye Limit:3 plays per Day NP Ratio:800np per 100 points Rating:4.5 At last, Bullseye is back!!! You have ten shots to try and hit the bullseye in this medieval game of skill and timing! Use the up and down arrow keys to move the crossbow, keep the Space Bar down to build-up power, and then release it to fire. If you manage to get a bullseye on the last shot, you can keep on firing until you miss! Lastly, if you get a Bullseye you get a cool power-up to use for the next shot. Good luck! This is the game I am probably the best at out of all the games on neopets. With practice,you can become good at it too! Now like my Meerca Chase Guide,I will post my UB guide Here. // // \\ \\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\ \\ //\\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\ // // \\ \\ \\ \\\\ // \\ \\ \\ \\ \ // // \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ // \\ \\ \\ \\ \\\ // // \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ // \\ \\\\\\\\ \\ \ ///////// \\\\\ \\ \\\\\\ \\ \\// \\ \\ \\ \\ \\\\\ \\\\\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\ \\ \\ \\\\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \ \\ \\ \ \\\\\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\\\\\\ \\\ \\\\\\ \\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \ \\ \ \\\\\\\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\\ \\\\\\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\ \\ \\\\\ Guide for Neopets Online only/Web By nemesis2 (e-mail:nemmysmailbox@yahoo.com.au) ---------------- MY INTRODUCTION ---------------- Ultimate Bullseye is one of my favourite games on Neopets.It consists of a target and a crossbow and the aim of the game is to hit the bullseye! (the centre of the target,like you didnt know) This game takes a lot of skill and practice so thats why I decided to make a guide for this game,to help you with this at times,difficult game So Read on and gain my knowledge... ----------------- BASIC INFORMATION ----------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/games/bullseye.phtml NP Ratio-800 np per 100 points Limit-3 plays per day. ----------------------------------- INTRODUCTION (From Neopets Website) ----------------------------------- At last, Bullseye is back!!! You have ten shots to try and hit the bullseye in this medieval game of skill and timing! Use the up and down arrow keys to move the crossbow, keep the Space Bar down to build-up power, and then release it to fire. If you manage to get a bullseye on the last shot, you can keep on firing until you miss! Lastly, if you get a Bullseye you get a cool power-up to use for the next shot. Good luck! -------- CONTROLS -------- Up and Down arrow- Moves Crossbow Space Bar-Build up Crossbow power, release to fire arrow. Enter-Confirm options,powerup usage ------ BASICS ------ -The Crossbow Remember you have to have this positioned on the correct angle or it will affect your shot SERVERELY! You can have it just slightly to steep or low and you will at most get one or 2 points. A good place for most targets is the centre although if it is a bit higher or lower than the average raise the crossbow on a slightly higher or lower angle. -Power When you have the crossbow positioned correctly hold down the spacebar to build up power for the shot and release to fire. Timing is CRUCIAL. If you let go too early, then the arrow will 'die down'.If you let go around full and then it will fly straight past the target. -The target Each Part of the target has a point value. Here they are. Brown Wood 0pts Outer Ring 1pt 2nd Ring 2pts 3rd Ring 3pts 4th Ring 5pts Bullseye 10pts --------- POWERUPS --------- When you hit the bullseye you get a special 'powerup' which can be used on a later turn.There is four different powerups and here is a short description of each. Fire Ring-Fire the arrow through the ring to get double points. So a bullseye is worth 20 POINTS!!!.Be careful that you don’t aim too low though because you could hit the pole and get no points at all :(. Also Remember that the power bar timing may be different for slower computers if you use this power up. Punchbag Bob- This is punchbag bob from the one player battledome except he has an apple on his head If you hit the apple on its head you get 20 points! But if you hit the body of punchbag bob or miss you get no points at all:( Closer-Brings the target closer and makes it easier to hit.Remember that different power levels may be required when using this powerup. Expanding Bullseye- This makes the bullseye expand and shrink making it easier to hit, if you time it right. --------------- Powerup Symbols --------------- Fire Ring-F Punchbag Bob-P Closer-C Expand Bullseye-B --------- TIPS --------- -Save all of your powerups until the end!!! Because if you hit the bullseye on your last shot you get an extra shot. You keep shooting until you don’t get at least 10 pts with one shot.Then the game ends. Some people have made 300pts or more by doing this. My high score is 171. -Use the punchbag bob and the fire ring powerups at the same time(I recommend the last shot) because if you hit the apple with a fire arrow, you get 40 points!!! However, If you miss you get nothing, which will be two wasted powerups. Also remember that the powerup timing may be different for slower computers and you may miss-time it altogether. -Never release the arrow before the third line unless it is VERY CLOSE. Also never go full power because the arrow will just fly straight past the target. -Even if you have used up your three daily plays for NP, still play anyway for practice,so that you can get decent scores consistently.(Very few people can) -NEVER submit a score under 25.If you are not getting at least 200 np from this game per try and then practice so you can get 200 np all the time. -This game is best played on fullscreen. You can aim the crossbow more accurately and will most likely get a higher score. As I found out, this game is VERY HARD on small or normal screens and I have much more success on fullscreen.An average comparison is that I get an average of 30 on small or normal and 56 on fullscreen.So I defiantly recommend that you play this game on fullscreen. -Also interestingly you seem to have momentum in this game. One game, you can get 3-4 bullseyes in a row and the next you will struggle to get even one bullseye for the entire day. Remember one time you may get 150 and the next game, you may only get 20. It is what often happens to me. - If you have 2 powerups and you only want to use the first,it will also use the second for some strange reason.(Or it might be vice versa) -Always play Bullseye on the same computer for optimum performance,points wise. -------- GLITCHES -------- -If you have the crossbow aimed VERY HIGH on fullscreen the arrow will look funny. (This is only on fullscreen) -I just found this.When I was mucking around,and I scored one point,I got told that I didn't score any points and the score couldn't be posted.Wierd that I got the message and wierd that I tried to submit a score of 1 but anyway... ------- SECRETS ------- -If you get a score of 225 or more you get an avatar! This is very hard to do and only the VERY BEST can get it. If you get it, than you are a true champion at this game.If you had got the avatar why would you be reading this anyway? You must be really bored ;) Eventually though,this guide will guide you to the avatar:) *I myself have not got this avatar,so it is pretty damn hard. ------- FAQ'S ------- Q-UB? A-Duh,Ultimate Bullseye,use your brain! Q-On the high score table,I saw someone who got 2000 points.Is that person really THAT good or is he cheating? A-He/she is either utterly Insane or they cheated. Their high score has been eliminated from the chart so I say that they were cheating and got frozen. Q-Is there cheats for this game? A-No and Yes.No if you are talking about 'legal ones' and then no Yes if you are talking about ones which will get you frozen.I do not know these cheats though. Q-What is that creature which controls the crossbar? A-That I think is a Turtum, a rare medieval pet pet. Q-Where can you buy a Turtum? A-This has almost nothing to do with ultimate bullseye in general but you should be able to pick one up at the medieval pet pet stall or at the auctions trading post etc. Q-How in the hell do you get 225 points for the Avatar? A-Practice makes perfect. Don't worry too much though because very few people can ever get it. Getting the Ultimate Bullseye Avatar is very hard and requires either/both skill and luck.Skill means consistenly hitting the bullseye,luck means getting the big point Powerups time after time (Fire ring and Punchbag bob). Q-Why did they change the text used for Ultimate Bullseye? A-Don't know why because the old text looked way better. So keep trying,you will get there one day. ----------------------- HIGH SCORE TABLE (top 30) ----------------------- This table is as of 30/6/04.It is at the end of the month,so it is a good indication of what kind of score you need to get a trophy in this game.

Thankyou for reading it! END OF FAQ --------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Brady Greene (nemesis2) 2004 =============================================================================== Volcano Run Limit:3 plays per day NP Ratio:33np per 100 points Rating:5 Glubgar the Tyrannian Scorchio has ventured a bit too deeply into a rather large Volcano... the lava is so hot there that even Scorchios cannot survive! See how far through the volcanic tunnels you can guide Glubgar! Use the left mouse button to fly upwards, and release the button to go downwards. If you press the Space Bar Glubgar will use his wings to brake. Avoid the fiery bombs that fly towards you, and try not to crash into the walls of the tunnel or the rocks. Collect the crystals for extra points, and the force shield will allow you to crash into a rock without dying. If you hit the cloud it will slow you down for a few seconds. Good Luck! Volcano Run,Detailed Guide +========================+ =Screen & Graphic Quality= +========================+ I cant emphasise this enough.PLAY ON FULLSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!! I get on average 1500 every time I play on fullscreen while that average is cut in half for normal screen.The quality doesn't matter very much as it doesn't take much processing power but I play on low quality so it ain't so choppy but I doesn't matter that much +===============+ =Obstacles/Items= +===============+ Volcano Run is one of the more difficult games on Neopets so listen up. There are a lot of things you must avoid while travelling through this perilous volcano.So here is the list,of the good and the bad. Bad Rocks-Rocks bounce up and down,hitting the walls of the volcano.Unless you have a bubble shield,hitting one of these will result in an immeadiate game over.As you go on however,they get harder to avoid... Fire Bombs-These small yellow fire bombs tend to hang around crystals. owever they are small and they are not hard to avoid.They appear in groups which make them harder to avoid however.Unless you have a bubble shield hitting one of these will result in an immediate game over. Walls-This is how I die the most,by hitting the walls.With rocks bouncing up and down,you may fly up too high and hit the wall.At the same time you may go down too low and hit the bottom.The bottom walls seem to be much more dangerous than the top ones however.You can touch the top walls ever so slightly and get away with it.However,if you lay even a hair on the bottom wall,youre dead.Bubbles will burst in an instant if you touch the bottom wall. Good Crystals-Always appear in groups of three.They appear in most slightly open areas of the volcano.Each crystal is worth 30 points (I think). If you put yourself in danger by going for these,don't get em. Bubbles-These appear at regular intervals until you reach 1800 pts.Bubble Shield allow you to take one hit from any obstacle.But for some reason it seems far easier to hit into things while you have it on but still you should grab em'anyway +============+ =Difficulty = +============+ As you go deeper into the volcano,the rocks become faster,the crystals become less common and bubble shields eventually dissapear.The game starts getting moderately hard at 1000 and by 1800 or so,it begins to come real hard.Before 100,the rocks don't move at all. +============+ = Secrets = +============+ None yet. By the way,this game won the flash game poll held on the Game faqs neopets general board!I think it deserved to since it is my favourite game on neopets! +============+ = FAQS = +============+ Q-Where are the brown clouds? A-TNT has not updated the introduction.They have been taken out of the game. Well,that is volcano run done!Now there will be an eruption of neopoints coming from volcano run! =============================================================================== Turmac Roll Limit-3 times per day NP Ratio-100np per 100 points scored Rating-4.5 If a Turmac eats a lot, it can grow up to be big and strong (maybe even as big as the Turmaculus one day!) Guide your little Turmac using the arrow keys and collect as many berries as possible without hitting anything! Turmac Roll,detailed Guide The Turmac Roll guide will be set out in a simular way to my meerca chase guide,since the games are kinda simular. +======================+ =Quality and Difficulty= +======================+ For the screen quality settings,this is one of those games which is slooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww if you have an average computer and you set it on high.In fact,even medium seems to lag a little. So I put it on small/normal screen and low quality.It runs better this way. This is one of the few games which doesnot benefit from fullscreen at all. Now for difficulty.As with most games which have difficulty levels there are 3 levels.Easy,normal and hard.And why TNT bothered with easy and normal difficulties,I don't know because they seem EXACTLY the same to me with one difference.You get less points.So ALWAYS play on hard,even if you have never played Turmac Roll before!!!And by the way.Easy is 1x the base value of the berry,(see below) Normal is 2x the b.value and hard is 3x. +==================+ = Berries = +==================+ Berries in Turmac Roll serve the same purpose as neggs in Meerca Chase or dubloons in Dubloon Disaster.They get you points.Although you get 3 points every few seconds automatically (I am assuming you are playing hard,if not DONT be a wuss,it ain't any different) to get a good score,you need berries. Here is the base value of all the berries in Turmac Roll NAME BASE VALUE RARITY APPEARANCE Snidberry 1pt Very Common Blue with red dots Loveberry 2pts Common Heart-Shaped Chiaberry 4pts Common Red,chia Shaped Conkerberry 8pts Fair A bowl of greern porridge (yes,it is the best I could do :) Voidberry 15pts Fair Black with small white dots Fishberry 25pts Quite Rare Fish shaped berry Jumbleberry 50pts Rare Light pink berry Juicyberry 75pts Rare Light orange berry, Unguberry 100pts Scarce Small red berry with long stem. Aquaberry 200pts Extremely Common Light blue berry. these things are a pest seriously :) How come is it that all things worth lots of value are always associated with water.Fish Neggs and Now Aqua Berry.Hmm You can multiply their base value by 3 if you are playing hard (what did I tell ya?) -Berries which have higher value are generally in harder to reach spots -I have only ever seen 3 Aqua berries.One of them happened to be in my second game ever where I got about 900.Yes I was been sarcastic in the table,if you were wondering. -Snider Berries make up between 1/2-2/3 of all berries found in Turmac Roll. +=====================+ = Obstacles/Landforms = +=====================+ Now,it wouldn't be a game without a few good ol'fashioned obstacles now would it.Some landforms are helpful,some not so helpful.Here is the list of every landform/obstacle you will encounter in the game. Hills/Ramps. These come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.Hills help you get a lot more air time than a regular jump on the flat surface would.Hill jumps are required for a lot of berries.However,don't begin jumping every time you see a hill.Sometimes,it may lead to a sharp backwards ramp, and you could land right on in and OUCH! Although if you jump and you see a SBR,you can use the left arrow to slow your air time and therefore land before it and giving you the oppotunity to jump over it. Tree Stumps. Tree stumps come in 2 varierties,small and big.The big ones are obviously harder to jump over but you can still jump over most of them with one well timed jump on flat ground.As you go on,they become more abundant and they are positioned so they are harder to avoid.Remember,you can land on top of these and jump on them to get some air time. Reverse Ramps These are BAD.These serve the same purpose as a tree stump except you cant jump on them.I used to always run into these when I first played Turmac Roll. If you run into the back of these 'reverse ramps' it is game over for you.Also since the top is pointy,if you land on top of the point,it is also game over. +===========+ = Tips = +===========+ -You never know what is ahead of you.You kind of know,but only within the screen.So you have to pick and hope for the best. -Only jump when nessercary. -Sometimes you get really good run with the berries,sometimes you will only get Snider and Chia berries.Sometimes you will get both the 100 pointer and the 200 pointer in the same game.But like getting a fish and rainbow negg in the same game in Meerca Chase,that is very rare. -To get a decent score (above 700) you will most likely need good berries +============+ =Secrets = +============+ -To change all snidberries to aqua berries you must type aquaberriesarethebest berryintheworldandiwouldbemuchbetteratthisgameiftheywouldchangeandineedthis cheatbecauseiamasadmoronwhocantsurviveonothercrummyberrieswhichisanythingelse below101pointsofvalue. No,don't even ask. Well thats it for my Turmac Roll guide,Now you should be rolling in neopoints! =============================================================================== Whack-A-Kass Limit-3 plays per day NP ratio-66np per 100 points Rating-4.5 An evil villain is standing high above, in his floating citadel of death. He is plotting to destroy your land, so what do you do? Make a plushie that looks like him and hit it with a stick of course! Whack-A-Kass is the most popular sport in Meridell at the moment (for obvious reasons). To play, grab a plank of wood (or something roughly the same shape), wait for the wind to be in your favour, and press the left mouse button to send Kass flying. Hitting Kass over large distances may even unlock bonus levels! Good luck! Tips From Nemesis -Whack-A-Kass came a suprise second in the Best Flash Game Poll. -Wait until the wind hits nine,then hit the kass.If he is hit at nine he will travel further and bounce better. -Once you hit him wait until he reaches his highest point in flight,and when he begins to decend,release the mouse/space bar to make his wings flap. This will make him go further -When he begins to bounce,click the mouse when you hear a boing noise.If timed right,he may bounce 3 or even 4-5 times! -Always use the bat.Ifyou need to unlock it do a 175m hit with the bread to unlock the stick and a 450m hit with the stick to unlock the bat -Whack a Kass is one of the best games for quick NP. Well,here is a guide from one of my online friends,jamie45. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whack-a-kass Guide v1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \ / \ / \ / \ / \ /\ / \ / \ / \/ \/ hack-a-Kass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction Hi and welcome to my first FAQ. Yeah! Woohoo! O.K enough of that. This FAQ will cover the Neopets game Whack-a-kass. IMO this is the best game. If you find any mistake in grammar or anything else, or would like to give tips or contribute or like to answer my question email me or neomail me at my adress at the bottom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents 1.Version Info 2.Game infomation 3.Starting the game a.Controls 4.The levels a.Easy b.Medium C.Hard 5.Glitches 6.Secrets a.Avatars 7.Score board 8.Credits 9.Writers info 10.Legal info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Version Info ----------- 7/10/04 ----------- Faq submitted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.Game infomation This game was introduced in the Battle for Meridell Neopoints ratio is 66np per 100 points This game came a great second in nemesis2's flash game poll on the Gfaqs board Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/kassgame.phtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.Starting the game Nothing much to say here. Start the game. Read the instrucitons. Click on the easy button and start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.Controls Spacebar/Left mousebutton - Release Kass Spacebar/Left mousebutton - Swing Bread/Stick/bat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.The levels There are 3 levels; easy, medium and hard. You start off on easy and unlock medium and hard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.Easy (Unlocked at 0 points) This is the easy level (you don't say). You start off with some bread to hitthe kass plushie with. Fisrt of all wait for the wind to reach 9 meters a second then hit the spacebar/mousebutton to release kass.Click again to hit it. Try to hit it so kass flys up into the air not along the ground. Hold space/mousebutton until kass reaches it highest point then let go. Everytime Kass hits the bottom click, this should make kass bounce 3-4 times or if your very lucky 5-6 times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b.Medium (Unlocked at 175 points) This is basicly like the first level its just that you've got a stick to hit Kass with and he drops faster.It also hits a lot harder than the bread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C.Hard (Unlocked with a 450m Hit) This again is the same as the other level but this time you get a bat to hit Kass with(yay!) and also kass drops really quick. This is the level where you can get trophies and an avatar from. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.Glitches There is only one glitch I know about this game if anyone knows anymore neo/email me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One glitch is if you unlock all the levels on one computer then go and play it on a different computer you will have to unlock all the levels again.This is because the cookies and files are not stored on the 2 computers.A pain,I must say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.Secrets This is the secrets section ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.Avatars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whacked ----------------- To get this avatar, you need to score 850+.

This Guide started out just covering,the chance and freebies games nothing more.But now it has fledged into something much bigger.Over the last few updates,I have added a Random Events Guide,Secrets and Fairy Quest Sections and there is lots more coming as well.Well without further ado,lets get this FAQ started and I hope you enjoy it and get something out of it. MY RATING SYSTEM To help you decide which chance games are worth your precious np and time,I have constructed a rating system which is divided into 3 categories.The scale is from 1 to 5,5 being the best while 1 being the worst.To think about it,they all kinda connect with each other. VALUE Are the payoffs of this game worth my precious nps? Is this game worth my time? Will I be gaining from this game in the long term? 0--|--1--|--2--|--3--|--4--|--5 0-You will be living in a bin before you know it 1-Eck,Is this a scam? 2-Nah,little too pricey 3-Average 4-Wow,I might make a quick buck 5-Better enjoy the moment. Prizes Are the prizes won on this game decent? Does the good outweigh the bad? 0--|--1--|--2--|--3--|--4--|--5 0-Nothing at all 1-Junk 2.Chickenfeed 3.Average 4.Expensive 5.Priceless Probability Will I win stuff from this regularly? 0--|--1--|--2--|--3--|--4--|--5 0-No chance 1-Very Unlikely 2-Unlikely 3-Maybe 4-Likely 5-Almost Always The rating system goes in 1/2 point increments.So 2.5 is inbetween 2 and 3 as a guide 2.5 is a mere pass in that area.And the overall score will not always be the avarage of the three.I may decide to put the score up or down from the average depending on my experience with that game. +=========+ |1.WHEELS | +=========+ There are five different wheels.Each one has varying prizes and varying luck. +===================+ a.Wheel of Excitement +===================+ Direct Link: www.neopets.com/faerieland/wheel.phtml Value-4 Prizes-4 Probability-4 Overall-4 Location-Fairy Land Time-Every 2 hours Cost-150np LIST OF PRIZES -200np -500np -1000np -2000np -10000np -Random Item (Could be any Fairy Related Item) -Mystery prize (1-100np) -100np -Lava Ghoul (Hurts Pets) -Lightning Bolt (Hurts Pets) -Disease -Pant Devil -Secert Happening (It says that something will happen but it doesnt do a thing) This wheel is by far the best wheel out there. You can win some terrific prizes on this wheel.And it ain't expensive either... This wheel is the best of the five wheels.It is cheap and can yield some very good prizes,from decent amounts of np (200-10000)to magic items to pet healing,but sometimes this wheel takes a turn (pun intended) for the worst,with diseases and the pant devil appearing occasionaly.But they appear rarely,lets say 1 in 12 spins or about 8%. You can play this wheel every 2 hours but I say only attempt it once or at most twice a day. ****************************************************************************** Questions About the Wheel of Excitement ******************************************************************************* What is the Best Prize to spin up? Well dont tell me what you are thinking,Of course thats the 10k,but no it aint. The magic item,the random fairy related item is the best prize to spin up.If you sell the item,it might sell for more than 10k (not always).Sometimes it will only sell for 800np :( but the item can be worth as much as 40000np!!! I have only spun up the magic item twice.Once I got a Purple Coral Chair and the Other time I got a Air Fairy Hair Clip both worth more than 10k *************************************************************************** *thanks to gameboy46690(gameboy426@msn.com) for correcting that for the magic item,you get an item not the secret item which is the mysterious thing which happens(which is nothing)* --------------------- b.Wheel of Mediocrity --------------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/prehistoric/mediocrity.phtml Value-3 Prizes-2.5 Probability-2.5 Overall-2.5 Location-Tyrannia Time-Every 30 minutes Cost 50np The wheel of mediocrity lives up to its name.It is mediocre,very average.But it only costs 50np and you can spin it every 1/2 hour so it is worth spinnng. You can win anywhere from 10-1000np,your pet can get hurt or you may get a rare tyrannian item. Prizes -10np -20np -50np -100np -200np -1000np -random petpet -random card -pterodactyl (hurts pets) -fireballs (hurts pets) -nothing ******************************************************************************* Questions about the wheel of mediocrity ******************************************************************************* Q-Why isnt INSERT PET NAME effected by the fireballs? A-My pterifier13 is not affected by the fireballs,and he is painted fire so yeah,fire pets are not affected by the fireballs.This applies to all the other wheels too. ******************************************************************************* --------------------- c.Wheel of Misfortune --------------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/halloween/wheel/index.phtml Value-1 Prizes-1.5 Probability-1 Overall-1 Location-Deserted Fairground Time-Every Hour Cost-100np A terribly unlucky wheel. Never try this wheel unless you are feeling VERY lucky, because almost everything on this wheel is bad. The best things you can win from this wheel are plushies and petpets although the latter is very rare,but the former is the common prize on the wheel.Other prizes are very mean indeed,such as diseases,pant devil and forgetfulness. Prizes -Pant devil (steals items) -Plushies -Disease -Spooky Petpet -NP (From 1-1000) -Forgetfulness (drop in intelligence) Questions about the wheel of misfortune ******************************************************************************* If I got the pant devil,which item would he steal? A-Unfortuantely,he is more likely to steal your most expensive item.For most wheels,have about 10 junk items in your inventory in amongst your good items or (the best) put your items in the safety deposit box. ******************************************************************************* -------------------- d.Wheel of monotony -------------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/prehistoric/monotony/monotony.phtml Value-4 Prizes-5 Probability-3 Overall-3.5 Location-Tyrannia Plateau Time-Once every 24 hours. Cost-100np Prizes PROFITABLE (Gain)or good thing -Mazzew -Tyrannian Paintbrush -Tyrannian Petpet Paintbrush -Avatar -5000np -20000np -Bri Codestone -Tyrannian Plushies -Tyrannian Books -Tyrannian Weapons -Tyrannian Food -Lottery Ticket BAD PRIZES (Losses) -Rock (Halves pets Hp) -Summon to Beasts Lair (Bad HP loss) -Volcano Visit This wheel can spin up some very good prizes indeed,better than the wheel of Excitement but there is a twist.You never know how long it will take to spin.But you can find out by going to the link explained in the question below. But not only does it take a while to stop spinning,but also the Bad Prizes are more common than the good prizes but the good prizes are very good and this wheel is defiently worth the spin. ******************************************************************************* Questions about the wheel of monotony ******************************************************************************* Q-How long does the wheel of monotony take to stop spinning? A-This is the most asked question ever!I see this question asked on the Gamefaq's Neopets general board at least once a day. The Wheel of Monotony may spin from anywhere between 10 minutes to 4 hours. On average,it is about 1hr 15min for me. To find out how long it will take to spin,go to this link, www.neopets.com/prehistoric/monotony/wheel_mono_get_prize.phtml now with that big number at the end,lets say it is 3000000,take off the last 3 zeros and divide the number left (in this case 3000,by 60) The answer is 50 so the wheel has 50 minutes before it stops. Also if you do not to leave a window minimized while waiting,you can go to the above link when you think it is finished. Now I do not want this question answered again on the Gamefaqs message boards! ******************************************************************************* -------------------- e.Wheel of Knowledge -------------------- Direct Link-www.neopets.com/medieval/knowledge.phtml Value-2 Prizes-4 Probability-4 Overall-3 Cost-500np (on the day it was released,it cost 100 np) Limit-Once every 24 hours (unless you get spin again but it still costs 500np) This is the newest wheel on neopets.It is located in the new mini-world of brightvale which is located in meridell.You can win items,neopoints or even JOB COUPONS (Yes thats right) but they are for the Brightvale job agency (not the Fairyland one) but still,finally after all these years...Other prizes include window frames,battle scrolls and food. A very good wheel to spin indeed! Prizes -Pet Healing -Job Coupons -Scrolls -Medieval Food -Spin Again -Knowledge from the king -Windows -Books* -Brightvale Berries* -Drop in Intelligence** -Avatar -Flash game Cheats (no use since they can be found on various websites and guides around the net,GameFAQs for example.) *Thanks to daniel55zhu@yahoo.com for these prizes **-Thanks to stormfeather for this 'prize'. Note that a few different things may happen if you land on certain pictures. For example,the king can give you useless information or he can decrease your pets intelligence. ******************************************************************************* Questions About the Wheel of Knowledge ******************************************************************************* Why is the King's Knowledge considered the major prize? A-I dunno,I guess it is kind of like the Secret Item on the Wheel of Excitement it sounds like as if something is gonna happen but nothing happens.The things he tells you are pointless in context to Neopets. ******************************************************************************* -------------------- 2.OTHER CHANCE GAMES -------------------- This section does not include freebies,so if you want to find out more info about freebies,see the freebies section. In here are all the chance games which have some sort of fee. ----------------- a.Buried Treasure ----------------- Direct Link:www.neopets.com/pirates/buriedtreasure.phtml Value-2.5 Prizes-4 Probability-3 Overall-3 Location-Krawk Island Time-Every 3 hours Cost-200np PRIZES For this game,I will display the message of the ticket saying whether you won anything or not. GOOD "You won 500np!" "You Won 1000np!" "You won 2000np!" "You won 5000np!" "You won 20000np!!" "You won 40000np!!!" "You won 1 Dubloon!!" "You won THE JACKPOT!!!!!" BAD (Losses) "You won a Booby Prize (Yellow Growth)" "You won nothing:(" (Sadly this is the case 70% of the time) This game is a good one to have a shot at.There are different squares on a map in which you must uncover the treasure.This game is not as easy as it looks though as it goes by a number coordinate system. There are about 300 spaces vertically and horizontally and you must click to a certain point.For example 200,100 is not the s
