How do you earn your extra NP?

Mon Jun 06, 2005 9:15 pm

So, summer is coming, and I'm going to have more free time. I want to build up my stocks more, maybe paint another pet, who knows. What I was wondering is- what do you guys do to earn some NP? Everyone knows the basics- play games, do the freebies, restock- but I'm guessing that some people might have some more unique things.

If something like this has already been made, please let me know. I just restarted, so I might have missed it.

Personally, I currently try and play Bilge Dice (up to the limit of 5k a day), Play Food Club (generally a great NP earner- read the great guide on PPT), and Play Turdle Racing. I bet on Turdle 1 three times at 1500 NP. Poogle One usually wins at least 1 time- but lately I haven't had very good luck with it.

So, how about everyone else? (If you have a different poogle you bet or something like that, that's all good too)

I restock a lot. But then, I'm the king of multitasking.

I do quests, like Taelia, Esophagor, Edna ( but that's just for the avatar or the occasional GOOD spooky food item) and Kitchen. Sometimes you can get a really good profit from those.

Next thing I do is play the featured game, then bilge dice, sometimes I can get 7k from it.

And some other games, if I feel extra workaholicy.

And that's usually my great effort for the day. I got lazy.

But the thing that drives me crazy is that I can't seem to learn how to restock. Everything would have been so much easier. :cry:

I know how you feel. I tried so hard to restock- but I just couldn't get the hang of it. Oh well, I guess.

Try games that give out items as well as Neopoints such as Gormball and Dice A Roo, you can earn a little extra when you sell off the items you win (in addition to items you might find in Random events that occur in the process)

Well, since I cannot stand hardly any of the games on Neo, I just restock and do dailies. I might start the stock market one day but for now I mainly just restock.

NeoQuest II is good. You get some neopoints for beating each boss, an item at the end (normal items arn't worth much, but evil and insane are worth quite a bit) and you ussually get some nice random events while playing.

I knew a guy who made his money of Icetravaganza scratch crads. He would buy them when the jackpot wa high, scratch, hopefully win, and then repeat. It is risky, but it may work.

Same thing with Nerkmids, and main treasure maps. They are pricey and you have to be lucky, but they can get you some nice items.

I restock books, I play some games while I'm at it and allways have the neopian clock in view so I can refresh every minute. also when I'm pricing book I refresh a few times and buy some of the ones that are priced at 100np lower or more so I don't have to work as much

I just play games like crazy. Sponsor games, games that are only available in different languages, regular games...it helps and it really adds up.
Also, if you're not good at restocking (like me), just hang around auctions or the trading post. You never know how many good deals there are out there.
Good luck! ^_^

I used to play NeoQuest II. I also played every game on this list.

A fellow bilge dicer? Do you bet 10np (and lose) so that your hgiht score is actually 7990? That'll get you a wee bit more.

The best thing to do is buy-n-sell. Some practice can get you competent in auctions. I just remember the times that they used to be (in comparison to which column they are in) and can usually still bid in the last few seconds after mentally counting down. It is kinda hard.

I play flash games, and try to beat my old scores in them. I also play NQ2 and sell any prizes I may get.

Hmmm... I hadn't heard that one. Do you do that on the first round?

Mostly I restock and do a few quests for those extra stat boosts. The flash games can be fun, but I don't like playing them over and over every day... it becomes a chore.

Oh wow. That's great. I'll have to read through it. Thanks a bunch.
