A '''codestone''' is a rock, carved with a specific [[wikipedia:Runic alphabet|rune]]. 

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 the [[Island Mystic]] so he could decrypt the message. Now, though, they can be used at the [[Techo Master]]'s [[Training School]] on Mystery Island.

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 lowering the overall price of them. In times of war the price of codestones become inflated due to the sudden demand for pet training.


==Original Codestones==

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. These bear the runes '''Bri''', '''Eo''', '''Har''', '''Lu''', '''Main''', '''Mau''', '''Orn''', '''Tai-kai''', '''Vo''' or '''Zei'''.

==Red Codestones==

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]] and are for pets above level 250. These bear the runes '''Cui''', '''Kew''', '''Mag''', '''Sho''', '''Vux''' or '''Zed'''.

==Codestone plushies==

All the codestones are also available in [[plushie]] form. They do not have any function of the originals and cannot be exchanged to train your pet.

==Trivia==
*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.
*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.
*The [[Petpet]] [[Rock]] resembles a [[codestone]] when painted [[Island]].
