How to Find Games With Easy Neopoints by sushiboat

Some games are so fun that playing them is its own reward. Other games are just a way of getting neopoints. This guide is about the second kind. I assume that you want to find games that give you a lot of Neopoints with as little time and effort as possible.

Other guides have just given lists of games that give easy points. However, some of these games are removed by Neopets after a while because they are primarily advertisements for a limited time (e.g., while a movie is playing in theaters). To replace games that are removed, you will have to look through the lists of games, and it helps to know a couple of telltale signs of easy points.

How to Overcome the Inexperienced Newbie Experience and Get Easy Neopoints by fury_damage

Strawberry Jelly for only 500np? I must buy it before someone else does!

Sound Familiar? Maybe not for strawberry jelly, which I thought was so good, but perhaps for another inexpensive Neopian item that, as a newbie, you paid too much for. When I first started playing Neopets I bought many foolish items from the top shops in Neopia for way more than they are worth. While Ive still kept a few of the things, like the ball of blue yarn (800np), Ive certainly learned my lesson as to how to make the most of the Shop Wizard, Auction House, and the Mystery Island Trading Post.

This website has taught me everything I know about Neopets and that is why I am now writing a guide for PPT and its other visitors about how to overcome the inexperienced newbie experience. So to all newbies:

Chemistry For Beginners Guide by Debra Lenik

Chemistry For Beginners isnt really a popular game. Its not very fast-paced, it doesnt win you a lot of np, and besides that, no one really remembers it. But if youre looking for a challenge, its a good place to go. It takes some time to play, but I personally find it a very soothing way to earn a moderate bit of np – much better than kau-johng, for instance.

Once you get past level five, you have the option to start at level six when you play, but you miss out on the scoring opportunities of the first five levels, which are quite easytherefore I suggest you start at level one. However, it can get boring putting together two atoms at a time, so do what suits your mood.

Double or Nothing Guide by tsrx3am

After reading the guide already on the site, I felt like contributing some more to the laws of averages. While the statistics mentioned before are all very well and good, al they work out is your chance of getting a certain amount of wins via the possibilities – this takes into account the fact that if you lose once, that’s it. This basically works out the chance of getting to a certain round, depending on how many times you play, instead of just your chance of winning.

For those of a nervous disposition, look away now.

nCr x p^r x q^n-r = Probability of when you’ll lose depending on how many rounds you want to go for
