A '''codestone''' is a rock, carved with a specific rune. They are used to pay for a Neopet's training courses at the training schools in [[Mystery Island]].

There are two types of codestone. There is the original type, which bare the runes '''Bri''', '''Eo''', '''Har''', '''Lu''', '''Main''', '''Mau''', '''Orn''', '''Tai-kai''', '''Vo''' or '''Zei''', and the more recent design of red codestone, baring the runes '''Cui''', '''Kew''', '''Mag''', '''Sho''', '''Vux''' or '''Zed'''.

The original codestones are found either by [[Random Event]] or as the prize in certain games ([[Tombola]], [[Fruit Machine]]), but can be bought and sold in user-owned [[shop]]s. The red codestones can also be bought and sold in user-owned shops, and are made at the Mystery Island volcano from basic codestones.

==History==

When they first arrived on [[Neopia]], it was as part of the [[Arrival of Virtupets]] plot, where they were used to decode Dr Sloth's letter. Users were implored to bring one million codestones to [[Kauvara]] so she could decrypt the message. Now, though, they can be used at the [[Techo Master]]'s [[Training School]] on Mystery Island.

The red codestones arrived after the [[Mystery Island Volcano]] plot. By combining normal codestones in the Mystery Island Volcano, one can receive special red codestones in return. These are used for training at the '''Secret Ninja Training School'''.

==Codebreakers==

In the game [[Codebreakers]], the original codestones were shown in multiple colours, in addition to the traditional sandy colour. This is the only occasion where this is the case.

==Trivia==
*The Codestone [[Random Event]], which puts a random basic codestone in the player's [[inventory]], reads ''"You find a mystical codestone on the floor!"''.
*An avatar featuring Codestones was released September 23, 2003 that users could unlock by viewing their inventory while carrying all ten different types of normal codestones.
