A good way to earn neopoints is to scout out the games that give you the most neopoints. You can also try to do the Wheel of Excitement, the Wheel of Knowledge and the Wheel of Mediocrity.
You also have a chance of winning big in the stock market under board games in the games room. If your pet is really really hungry and you have less than 3,000 neopoints you can get food at the soup kitchen.
Exploring the Neopian world is also a good way to get knew things and earn neopoints. On Terror Mountain there is a game called snow wars that is like battleship and you can earn trophies and medals.
You have a good chance in the battledome if you go to the training school on Mystery Island where you can level up and get better statistics and do courses and a lot of stuff like that. You should always check the bit where it says double neopoints awarded because that is a good way to get a few neopoints.
You can also play every game there in the games room and then make a list of what games give out the most points and you will be doing well. You shouldnt shop at the main shops like the bazaar or the plaza or at Neopia Central. You should as a matter of fact shop at the market place and browse around because there are some great bargains there in every type of form like armour, weapons, books, things for a neohome, scratchy, healing potions, petpets, food, toys, drinks, ice cream and all the other stuff like that.
The Shop Wizard is a good way of finding the thing you want but make sure you put the maximum price at the amount of money that you have with you at the moment. If you are on a quest the Shop Wizard will show you exactly the thing and if you work the Shop Wizard properly, the lowest price that it comes in.
You can get a quest at Faerie City but it is a dark witch that is giving you a quest so you might want to be wary. If you donate to the money tree you will be displayed as someone who is kind and generous and you should donate to the money tree if you have ever been to the soup kitchen in a time of need as the soup kitchen is kept running by the money tree.
If you put your money into the bank you should change your account to the highest one that you have available as you will get more interest rates if you do.
If you are in the battledome I suggest that you do not fight Punchbag Bob unless you have a powerful weapon because he has 5,000 hit points which even know he can not attack you take a long time to get down to 0. You should start with the inflatable guy and then Chia Clown but make sure you are ready because he is hard if you are new. – Jason
