Moltara Mystery

This article documents a current event. Information may update rapidly as the event progresses.

On March 19, 2014, a new "Plevent" began in which users worked together to fix the broken Random Event Machine created by Dr. Landelbrot. Thus far, the event has no official title, with the present title being derived from this image's file name.

Synopsis

In the Month of Running, Year 16, following the purchase of Neopets.com by JumpStart, The Neopets Team decided to increase the likelihood of Random Events to commemorate the occasion. This all went wrong, however, when too many Random Events caused "something to break", thus ceasing any form of Random Event all together.

Days later, a new type of Random Event featuring a mysterious Lutari began appearing on site, eventually leading users to the Water Tower Laboratory hidden in Magma City. Here, they were instructed by a Robotic Petpet to repair a portal leading to The Coincidence, a spaceship orbiting Neopia.

Once aboard the The Coincidence, users were introduced to Dr Landelbrot, the Lutari who had previously attempted to contact them via Random Event. It was then revealed that Landelbrot had created a machine that had caused Random Events to occur throughout Neopia, thus making their existence all together his responsibility. Explaining the lack of Random Events lately to be the fault of his machine, Dr Landelbrot then asked users to collect various items around Neopia in order to help him fix the machine.

User Participation

Part 1: Nifty Control Panel With Lights

After coming upon the Water Tower Laboratory, users were presented with the first part of the event, which consisted of a set of five puzzles. In each of these puzzles, users were presented with a control panel that contained a grid of lights. Clicking on a light would toggle the light that was clicked and the lights adjacent to that light between red and green. To solve the panels, users had to make all of the lights on the panel turn green by clicking on the lights in a certain order. One new panel was released each day, and every few days the puzzle increased in size.

Each panel, along the method in which it was solved, was the same for each user. Below is the fastest solution to each panel, along with its corresponding prize and the day it was released. To complete the puzzle, simply press the buttons in the numerical order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...) shown below.

Part 2: Aboard The Coincidence - Junk Collecting

Dr Landelbrot aboard The Coincidence

Once the Nifty Control Panel step was completed, a portal within the Water Tower Laboratory activated, leading users to The Coincidence, a spaceship orbiting Neopia. Here, Dr Landelbrot, the Lutari who had attempted to contact various Neopians via Random Event was found. It was then revealed that Landelbrot had created a machine that had caused Random Events to occur throughout Neopia, though it has recently broken due to over use.

For this step, users were sent out on a Quest by Dr Landelbrot to collect various items in order to repair the Random Events machine. In each item collecting scenario, users were asked to find three separate items in groups ranging from 2-5. Once the items were collected and given to Landelbrot, they would be awarded a portion of the "machine", then they would be given a 10-12 hour wait in which they had to collect the next set of needed items.

Items

The items requested by Dr Landelbrot are generally common or numerous, often being given out by Dailies or Events and thus are usually low in Neopoint value.

Pool 1

During the first two days, a pool of randomly selected "cheap" items were requested to be found by users. Unfortunately, as a result of supply and demand, numerous items became nearly extinct thus causing prices to skyrocket. For this reason, Pool 2 was introduced.

Below, is a list of items presently reported to have been asked for, in alphabetical order:

Pool 2

Immediately becoming active during the third day, a second "pool" of requested items became available to curb the supply issues presented by Pool 1.

Due to demand, a list was not logged in order to counteract users looking to purposefully 'inflate' select items.
