| Plots follow a story, which is usually depicted as comics or short animated films. User participation varies between plots: early plots had users collect certain items and deliver them to a character. Later plots were entirely [[Battledome]] orientated, and users participated by fighting [[1-Player Challengers|enemies]] in the Battledome, and in some cases choosing which side to fight for. Plot challengers are typically released in the Battledome in ''waves'', containing limited numbers of certain enemies. As a major battle reaches its end, users may face a ''boss'' character. The boss enemy is usually a collaborative step, where it is weakened by every player who loses to it until one player can beat it.

| The [[Curse of Maraqua]] plot experimented with having both a Battledome system and a support system involving collecting items for those people who did not enjoy fighting in the Battledome. Later plots started becoming more puzzle orientated with smaller Battledome sections - most noticeably the [[Lost Desert Plot]].

| The story of plots is usually released in parts called chapters. In most recent plots, these chapters are in comic book form. Most plots can only be participated in while these parts are being released, and after the final part is released its puzzles are closed. The stories typically remain viewable after this time, however. The exception to this rule is the [[Altador Plot]], which can still be completed to date.

| At the end of the plot, prizes are either given out automatically based on how much a player contributed to the plot (i.e. how many enemies they defeated or how many puzzles they completed) or can be bought for 'plot points' that correspond to the player's contribution. Plots reward the player with a site event [[trophy]] for completing them or participating, and a [[site theme]] or [[avatar]] is not uncommon.

| Plots almost always have lasting impressions on the world of [[Neopia]], the most common of which being new worlds for users to explore. Characters are often introduced in plots, or taken from [[games]] and expanded on. Certain heroes and villains have appeared in more than one plot, most noticeably [[Dr. Frank Sloth]], who has appeared in three plots and made cameos in two others.
