Editing Codestone

{{pastFeatured}}

'''Codestones''' are special rocks that are carved with specific [[wikipedia:Runic alphabet|rune]]s.  On the [[Neopets|Neopets webstie]], they are a special class of [[item]]. There are two cagetories of codestones: basic and red.  Basic codestones are tan in color and are used to pay for training at [[Techo Master|Techo Master's]] [[Training School]] on [[Mystery Island]].  Red codestones are red in color and are used to pay for training at the [[Secret Ninja Training School]].

Basic codestones first appeared in [[Neopia]] as part of the [[Arrival of Virtupets]] [[plot]].  During this plot, users were implored to bring one million codestones to the [[Island Mystic]] so he could decrypt [[Dr. Frank Sloth|Dr. Sloth's]] letter.  Red codestones were first released along with the Secret Ninja Training School on March 13, 2004.{{br}}
==All Codestones==
There are ten types of basic codestone, all of which are denoted with the word ''shaking''.  Each type of basic codestone bears a different rune:

==Obtaining Codestones==
Both basic codestones and red codestones are not sold at any official Neopian [[shop]]s.  Instead, users can obtain both types of codestone by fighting in the [[Battledome]] or by playing [[Key Quest]].  Basic and red codestones are also tradable, meaning that they can be purchased from other users using the [[Auction House]], [[Trading Post]], or user shops

In addition to this, basic codestones are sometimes given out by certain games of chance, such as the [[Deserted Tomb]] and [[Tombola]].  Users are also rewarded with a single, randomly-selected basic codestone each time they receive either of the following two [[random event]]s:
