[Jacob]

lost desert cards. cheap, plus they seem to give you a better return of prizes.

I have only bought the Ice Cave ones and have never won a thing

[Officer 1BDI]

I won an ice arena weapon the first time I scratched an Ice Caves card. After that, I got zip, so I started selling the cards instead of scratching them.

I buy Ice Cards scratchcards twice a day like clockwork, but the only time I've ever scratched them was to get the avatar. Otherwise I just sell them on. Low reward now that you can only scratch 5 a day, but low effort.

Do you think Neopets purposfully does that to you so you get hooked to them? Win the first time, then lose every other time?

[chan58ca]

I like Lost Desert, Ice Caves and Space Faerie the most, but I almost never buy them and only play if I get the card as a random event.

Where do you find the Space Faerie card? I can only find Haunted,Ice Caves and Lost Desert.

[Trick]

You get the Space Faerie card if you're premium. It's not quite like the other scratchcards though, you don't buy them - you just get to collect one every friday by going to a link and you scratch it there. You can win neopoints, some Space Faerie items and if you're very lucky you can win an Orbulon petpet

...and if you're very lucky you can win an Orbulon petpet

These outprice even the Marafin, I assume? At least you can find a Marafin on the TP. I tried looking for an Orbulon, couldn't find it anywhere. Just a white Grundo named Orbulon, and a 32-month old account named Orbulon, with four unborn yellow Kacheeks on it .

[I Am Smary]

Actually the Lost Desert one is cheaper and I prefer that since you can't get blanks on it. I sometimes sell the Scoreched Treasure ones but usually I scratch them. I believe I got a Lost Desert Paint Brush Plushie from the Geb Scratchcard once which name esacpes me...
