So you’ve played games until the Kaus come home and after scrimping and saving you’ve finally managed to acquire a whopping 100,000 neopoints! You feel really rich, but you really want more money. You go to the trading post and look at available paintbrushes for your pet. 1.4 MILLION NEOPOINTS FOR A FAEIRE PAINT BRUSH?!! How could they possibly be that much? After all, it’s taken you this long just to get 100,000 neopoints! The cost of things in Neopia may seem overwhelming, but do not fret! There’s and amazing number of ways to make neopoints; all you have to do is decide is which guide is right for your Neopets playing pace.
Are You…
…A Patient player who logs on occasionally?
The Neopian Stock Market is a great place to invest your Neopoints. Everyday, you can buy up to 1,000 shares of stock, at a minimum of 15 neopoints each. All you need to do is check back every few days and see if your stock has risen in value. If it has and you’re happy with the profits, then sell! There you go! Easy neopoints. Unless the company that you’ve invested in goes bankrupt (this happens very very rarely), and you sell for less than you initially paid, then there’s no way you can lose money!
…A patient player who is online a little each day?
Consider investing in a HTS (hard to sell) item. Sometimes, impatient players will sell unbuyable items for much less then they had paid for because of the offers on the lot, he/she may put the HTS up for a very low price. Your job is to snag those deals and sell the item for more with other items that may be of value that are very rare and wanted by most Neopians. You may want to check the Shop Wizard first before saying how much neopoints you want for the item(s) so you can have very reasonable offers. Usually the offer is best if the item(s) has a rarity over 96. Usually look in the ‘Newest 20′ lots for the fastest response.
…A weekend-only player?
If you don’t have time to play Neopets all that often at the nearest computer or Wi-fi spot (for laptops wireless internet finding thing) then restocking your shop may be the best thing for you. Many players want to by items in large quantities for their shops so he/she can be away and not have to restock too often. Usually, find a certain type of time (such as weapons, medicine, clothing, etc.), so when some Neopian looking for deals can get all of there needs in one spot for a reasonable price. Make sure to look for all of your restocking items in the Shop Wizard for the best deals. Then, open a bank account and empty all of your neopoints that you do not wish to carry around with you. The more neopoints you put in the bank, the more bank interest you will earn!
…A fast-paced player who’s online for long periods of time?
The Auction House is a fun and awesome place to make neopoints! Much like the trading post, though, you need to be keenly aware of how much the item(s) are really worth. Don’ t bid on any of the items that are listed on the Auctions House’s first page though! Because they will all be closed. Go to the Auction House’s 41-60 auctions. When you bid, bid about 100 neopoints above the last bidders and check on your bid every 3-10 minutes. If the auction is a Neo-Friend only auction, then don’t bid unless that person so happens to be a Neo-Friend of yours. – lajewelcat
