'''Codestones''' are a special rocks that are carved with specific [[wikipedia:Runic alphabet|rune]]s.  There are two cagetories of codestones: basic and red.  Basic codestones are tan in color and are used to pay for training at [[Techo Master|Techo Master's]] [[Training School]] on [[Mystery Island]].  Red codestones are red in color and are used to pay for training at the [[Secret Ninja Training School]].

Basic codestones first appeared in [[Neopia]] as part of the [[Arrival of Virtupets]] [[plot]].  During this [[plot]], users were implored to bring one million codestones to the [[Island Mystic]] so he could decrypt [[Dr. Frank Sloth|Dr. Sloth's]] letter.  Red codestones first appeared on March 13, 2004.

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