NeoQuest I is a web based role playing game on Neopets created by Mr. Insane on (need date).

Gameplay

Users are put in the role of the Neoquest Hero, who is called my the name of the users current main Neopet (allowing each Neopet to have their own game). Users control his/her quest to stem back the tide of evil in the world of Neopia 1,000 years ago. Users are given an overhead 5 x 5 view as they move about Neopia via clicking on the compass arrows provided. Each time the user moves in an area infested with monsters, there is a chance at a random fight with one of them. Should the user win, they receive experience and items (if htey are allowed them). Experience is collected to gain levels, which make the user stronger and gives them a skill point to use. Level 50 is the max.

Skills

There are many skills a user can use to fight against monsters. They are selected with skill points (to a maximum level of 10), and once spent they cannot be taken back. A skill point in a weaker skill must be spent before it can be spent on a more powerful skill.

Difficuty

Template:Spoiler NeoQuest I can be played in 3 different difficulty levels, which are unlocked upon beating progressivly harder diffuculties. Normal is the first difficulty level available, and involves the basic gameplay, which ends upon defeating Jahbal. Beating Normal difficulty unlocks Evil, which gives stronger enemies and a second final boss to defeat directly after Jahbal, Mastermind. Beating Evil unlocks Insane, which gives even more difficult enemies and one more extra boss upon the the second one from Evil, Xantan Reborn. If a user should die while playing Insane, they will start the game over from the very beginning, and not retain their level, skills, or items.

Rewards

Users are rewarded with Neopoints during gameplay for gaining levels and defeating bosses. A total of 30,625 NP can be gained from gaining all levels, and 13,250 NP is gained from all 12 bosses in regular play. And extra 7,500 and 17,500 NP can be received from the extra bosses in Evil and Insane difficulties due to the extra bosses. A trophy is also rewarded for each difficulty defeated.

When NeoQuest I was first released, a contest was held to reward the first 5 users to defeat each difficulty. These users were rewarded special Battledome Equipment and a special second set of tropies.

Although it is not listed under the highscores, Neoquest does in fact have its own version of a highscores table. When in the game clicking on Leader Boards will take you to a list of the first people to beat NeoQuest I, the fastest wins and those with the most wins. New entries into these lists do not gain a user rewards, but it allows them to at least lay claim to a certain task.

Time restrictions

Due to the large number of page views and popularity when the game was first available, Neopets' servers ran very slowly for some time. When it first opened, it kept bringing down the Neopets server, which were incapable of handling the game at the time. As a temporary fix, they only allowed users to play in the mornings (Eastern Standard Time), and prevented play during any other time. This ban was lifted on August 24, 2002. Since then, there have been no such restrictions and Neoquest can now be played at any given time during the day.

Trivia

  • The avatar NeoQuest - Wise and Powerful can be gained by defeating the Archmagus of Roo and giving the Clouded Gem to Erick.
  • There is a section of the Techo Caves which is locked off by a door, and as of January 2007 remains unexplored. The Neopets Team hasn't given any clues how it can be explored.
