Editing Codestone

{{pastFeatured}}[[Image:Original codestones.PNG|right|frame|The original codestones shown alphabetically]]

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 bear the runes '''Bri''', '''Eo''', '''Har''', '''Lu''', '''Main''', '''Mau''', '''Orn''', '''Tai-kai''', '''Vo''' or '''Zei''', and the more recent design of red codestone, bearing 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.  The recent addition of Key Quest to the site provided an additional method of gaining both original and red codestones by allowing players to win them as prizes.

==History==
Codestones first appeared in [[Neopia]] 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. The only other time this was done was in the old [[Trophy]] Cabinet, which displayed a normal, a red and a purple codestone.

==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.
