An '''Item''' is anything which can be placed in a users [[Inventory]]. They can be food, books, toys, [[Petpet]]s or even bottled [[Faerie]]s. They are all considered ''items''.

An '''Item''' is anything in [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] which can be placed in a user's [[Inventory]] for use while playing on the website. The term "item" itself is very broad, and can describe non-living things - e.g. [[food]], [[book]]s, etc. - as well as certain living things - [[Petpet]]s, [[Bottled Faerie]]s, plants, etc. Items may be traded, sold, given away or discarded, with the exception of a few special items where this is restricted, such as with Petpets or paintbrushes from the newbie-pack, or certain plot items.  


Many users make it a hobby to collect certain items, and make a [[Item Gallery|gallery]] to share with others.
The basic [[Neopia]]n currency - [[Neopoint]]s - do not exist as physical items, but certain others - [[Dubloon]]s and [[Nerkmid]]s - do. The single case where [[Neopoints]] do appear in one's inventory is as the item ''Bag of Broken Neopoints''. In this state, they do not serve as a [[Wikipedia:Medium of exchange|medium of exchange]], but can be fixed by [[Donny]] - being removed from the users inventory in the process - and become actual Neopoints.


==Item Category==
Many users make it a hobby to collect certain items or types of items, and many make a [[Item Gallery|gallery]] to share them with others. As of September 2014, there are over 45,000 different items in Neopia.
Below are all the current categories items can fall under.

The buying and selling of items is also the main way many users make Neopoints, either through restocking or investing. Restocking (or RS) is when a user finds items at a main shop that sell for less than the user shops on the Shop Wizard. Investing is done by finding items in the Shop Wizard or elsewhere that are currently selling for less than what the user believes they will be selling for later. For example, Christmas items in June sell for a lot less then they do in December.
*[[Altador Cup Tournament]]
 
*[[Altadorian Armour]]
==Rarity==
*[[Altadorian Food]]
Items are assigned a rarity code that relates to how the item can be obtained. Only items with a rarity of between 0 and 100 restock in the main, non-player owned [[shops]]. Items restock less frequently as their rarity approaches 100. Only items with a rarity of between 0 and 98 will appear in the Neopets search engine. Food items between 90 and 100 in rarity count as gourmet food for the [[Gourmet Club]]. If an item is retired from the main shops - ie, it no longer restocks there - it is rarity code is changed to 180.
*[[Altadorian Magic]]
 
*[[Altadorian Petpet]]
Rarity 101 is reserved for "freebie" items, such as items that may be given out from [[daily|dailies]] or [[plot]]s, but that do not restock in the shops.
*[[Aquatic Food]]
 
*[[Aquatic Petpet]]
Numbers between 101 and 180 are assigned to items given away from different sources and to differentiate the items from rarity 101 items. The website versions of [[Neopets TCG]] cards are assigned different numbers depending on their rarities: 101 for common, 103 for uncommon, 107 for rare, and 110 for holo. While prizes exclusive to the [[Snow Faerie Quest]]s and [[Illusen's Glade]] are given the rarity 101, awards from [[Brain Tree Quest]]s and [[Jhudora's Bluff]] are assigned the codes 120 and 130, respectively. While some [[Rare Item Code]] prizes were assigned rarities of 101, others were assigned rarities of 138 and 140.
*[[Baked]]
 
*[[Battle Magic]]
Items available through the [[Hidden Tower]], which while not being a player-owned shop does not restock in the same way as other shops do, are assigned the code 200 and called 'artifacts'. Some of the artifacts that are not available from the Hidden Tower - those that have been retired, or are made from combining Hidden Tower items in the [[Cooking Pot]], are given the code 250. Other retired Hidden Tower items - such as the ''[[Monoceraptor]]s Claw'', were given the rarity number 180.
 
Neocash items are given a rarity of 500.
 
===Inventory Tags===
When seen in the users inventory, some items will be labelled with certain tags after their name, which signify difference between them and other items. They are:
 
*'''Special''' - Items which usually require the user to perform certain actions to obtain. These can include prizes from [[Dailies]], [[Games Room|games]], [[Quest|Quests]], [[plot|plots]], [[Rare Item Code|Rare Item Codes]], special shops, [[Treasure Maps|Treasure Map]] pieces, [[World Challenge]] pieces, the [[Cooking Pot]], the [[NC Mall]], and items which give the user other items when used (such as the ''cracker'').

*'''Humming''' - Tag used to mark [[Paint Brush|Paint Brushes]].

==Item Rarity==
Rarity has nothing to do with the [[Rare Item Code]]s. Rarity is a simple way of showing how rare an item is. An item is rare if they are harder to get than other items. Usually this will also mean they are more expensive. Whenever you see an items rarity it will be listed as a number. These numbers have the following meanings.
 
* 1-70 - common, easily found in main Neopian shops and given out by random events.
* 71-84 - rare
* 85-90 - very rare
* 91-95 - ultra rare
* 96-99 - super rare
* 100-104 - mega rare
* 105-119 - Special, these items cannot be obtained through the normal shops. Normally these are only given out as part of a special offer.
* 120 - This means the item is given out by the Brain Tree when you complete one of his quests.
* 121-179 - Special, this works the same way as the 101-119 rarity items, but these are more powerful items.
* 180 - [[Retired]]. This item will never again be released and its rarity will never be changed from 180.
* 200 - Artifact, these items are sold in the [[Hidden Tower]].


If a user feeds their Neopet a food item with a rarity 90-100 it is considered a ''Gourmet Food'' and will qualify their Neopet in the [[Gourmet Club]].
==Trivia==
*There is a book titled ''Rare and Retired Items'', which is said to reveal "what those hard to get items are all about". However, owning this book or reading it to a Neopet doesn't give a user any new knowledge about items.

Latest revision as of 17:15, 23 September 2014

Players' inventories are meant to hold up to 50 items, but can hold more.

An Item is anything in Neopets which can be placed in a user's Inventory for use while playing on the website. The term "item" itself is very broad, and can describe non-living things - e.g. food, books, etc. - as well as certain living things - Petpets, Bottled Faeries, plants, etc. Items may be traded, sold, given away or discarded, with the exception of a few special items where this is restricted, such as with Petpets or paintbrushes from the newbie-pack, or certain plot items.

The basic Neopian currency - Neopoints - do not exist as physical items, but certain others - Dubloons and Nerkmids - do. The single case where Neopoints do appear in one's inventory is as the item Bag of Broken Neopoints. In this state, they do not serve as a medium of exchange, but can be fixed by Donny - being removed from the users inventory in the process - and become actual Neopoints.

Many users make it a hobby to collect certain items or types of items, and many make a gallery to share them with others. As of September 2014, there are over 45,000 different items in Neopia.

The buying and selling of items is also the main way many users make Neopoints, either through restocking or investing. Restocking (or RS) is when a user finds items at a main shop that sell for less than the user shops on the Shop Wizard. Investing is done by finding items in the Shop Wizard or elsewhere that are currently selling for less than what the user believes they will be selling for later. For example, Christmas items in June sell for a lot less then they do in December.

Rarity[edit]

Items are assigned a rarity code that relates to how the item can be obtained. Only items with a rarity of between 0 and 100 restock in the main, non-player owned shops. Items restock less frequently as their rarity approaches 100. Only items with a rarity of between 0 and 98 will appear in the Neopets search engine. Food items between 90 and 100 in rarity count as gourmet food for the Gourmet Club. If an item is retired from the main shops - ie, it no longer restocks there - it is rarity code is changed to 180.

Rarity 101 is reserved for "freebie" items, such as items that may be given out from dailies or plots, but that do not restock in the shops.

Numbers between 101 and 180 are assigned to items given away from different sources and to differentiate the items from rarity 101 items. The website versions of Neopets TCG cards are assigned different numbers depending on their rarities: 101 for common, 103 for uncommon, 107 for rare, and 110 for holo. While prizes exclusive to the Snow Faerie Quests and Illusen's Glade are given the rarity 101, awards from Brain Tree Quests and Jhudora's Bluff are assigned the codes 120 and 130, respectively. While some Rare Item Code prizes were assigned rarities of 101, others were assigned rarities of 138 and 140.

Items available through the Hidden Tower, which while not being a player-owned shop does not restock in the same way as other shops do, are assigned the code 200 and called 'artifacts'. Some of the artifacts that are not available from the Hidden Tower - those that have been retired, or are made from combining Hidden Tower items in the Cooking Pot, are given the code 250. Other retired Hidden Tower items - such as the Monoceraptors Claw, were given the rarity number 180.

Neocash items are given a rarity of 500.

Inventory Tags[edit]

When seen in the users inventory, some items will be labelled with certain tags after their name, which signify difference between them and other items. They are:

  • Special - Items which usually require the user to perform certain actions to obtain. These can include prizes from Dailies, games, Quests, plots, Rare Item Codes, special shops, Treasure Map pieces, World Challenge pieces, the Cooking Pot, the NC Mall, and items which give the user other items when used (such as the cracker).
  • Shaking - Exclusive for Codestones, it notes the shaking and instability of the Codestone while the user is holding it.
  • Humming - Tag used to mark Paint Brushes.
  • Wearable - Signifies a clothing item that can be placed in the user's "closet" for Neopets Customisation.
  • Neohome - Signifies a furniture item that can be placed in the user's "Neohome Storage Shed" to decorate their Neohome. This does not mean the item can necessarily be put in Classic Neohomes.

Types[edit]

There are many different types of items in Neopets, all of which have different uses and purposes. Below are all the current categories items fall under as of September 2011:

Trivia[edit]

  • There is a book titled Rare and Retired Items, which is said to reveal "what those hard to get items are all about". However, owning this book or reading it to a Neopet doesn't give a user any new knowledge about items.
