A Mau codestone

A codestone is a rock, carved with a specific 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 shops. 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.
