Well, you've kind of suggested it yourself already- investing. Try the Neopian Stock Market, for one. You could also go for restocking.

I would suggest against the stockmarket unless you really do have a load of neopoints - investing really isn't for people with less than half a mil, because of the chance of losing a lot quickly, and taking a long time to make it back.

I actually suggest banking it at the highest possible interest rate. Alternatively, you could invest in constantly-valuable items, like codestones. Investing in codestones now pays off the next time there's a war, if you're still around, because their value skyrockets.

With the stock market, you should buy stocks that are between 15 and 20 nps in value only - and just hold onto them until they double in value (so, get to between 30 and 40 nps), then sell most of them. hang onto a few shares in the event that the stock's value continues to rise, and you should make a few more bucks.

If a stock's value plummets, don't panic and sell out - it'll go back up. They always do, eventually.

The neodaq is completely random, except for bankruptcies, which are man-made. So anyone who predicts "x stock will go up today" is full of crap.

Buy 1000 shares a day, and just sort of hang out. Check every day or so to see if you might want to consider selling.
