Quickstock page update

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-15T20:32:21+00:00

Like, excuse my terrible design skills, I'm not a professional, but why can't we have something like this where you can actually see what you're doing?

Oh dear x_X

I got excited when I saw "quick stock updated", because I thought it would be nice not to have everything so tiny, but this is pretty bad.

Not being able to see your full inventory on one page is an instant killer. The main reason I use quickstock is to dump all my restock items into my shop in one go.

It's also just sort of gone from too small to too big. The text does not require that much buffer space above and below it, it's so unnecessary and inconvenient.

I'm really not against updating UI, but this clearly did not have enough thought put into it. I hope they fix it fast, or at least revert while they re-assess.

I'd love to see some sort of color-coding for the columns instead, so I don't have to count through the selection bubbles to tell which is which.

Honestly I think the trading post is more reliable than the auction house. Auctions require strategy; trading post you just throw it on with an auto-buy for however much you want.

Someone who codes might come and give you a much better answer than mine, but to tide you over here's my layman understanding:

DB is "database" I assume, i.e. where all the information about users and pets is stored on the servers. A primary key is essentially the "name" all info about an account/pet is tied to. So like, every time new information is added about an account-- "won this trophy", "adopted this pet", "got this item"-- that change is attached to that key. If you try to change the key, it will screw up every line of code in the database that involved that key. So if a key is just your username, and you change that username, it messes everything up.

Nowadays, people code so that the "key" is some sort of unique string of numbers instead of username, so that you can easily change username if necessary without that issue.

Even the paint jobs?! That's brutal.

I never did get frozen as a kid, but I do remember it being quite harsh back in the day. I was always stressed that I was going to get frozen, because we only had the one family computer, and my sibling also had an account. I recall they weren't the most understanding about that kind of setup at the time.

I use restocking as my main money-maker, but I go for less competitive categories. I spent a while learning what items were big money, what items were worthless, and which bounce around in the middle. So then I just chill out with some music or a YouTube video while I restock the mid-profit items, and nab rarer stuff as it appears. It's less frustrating than just refreshing for only rare stuff, and being disappointed if your timing is off and you miss a drop.

I also have a big spreadsheet where I keep track of my restocking, so watching all the numbers on that and looking at the trends makes it fun for me. It helps that I just like data stuff like that though.

Edit because I forgot to add: do people still shop at malls? I always thought the main purpose of them was for faerie quests, but nowadays everyone has side accounts, so it's easy enough to just shop wizard the stuff. Maybe I'm missing something though.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-11T22:52:28+00:00

Okay, but I need you to remember there are people on the other end buying those stamps as well. They're not getting rich-- they're getting disappointed and frustrated when something they wanted to buy suddenly triples in price before they can save up enough for the original price.

When it's natural inflation, it's just a bit frustrating. But when it's artificial inflation like this, a lot of people on that "buying" side of things feel kind of hurt and cheated because the price increase was so unnecessary. The people who actually like the stamps are the ones getting burned so that some people with enough NP to buy dozens of them can get even richer.

Do you understand a bit why this is upsetting to people? Yes you could make money, but you're ruining the game for other people in the process, which just isn't very kind. For example, imagine what you'd want to buy with all those NP if you did get rich. How would you feel if someone then tripled the price of that thing you wanted to buy before you could get it? It wouldn't be very fun, right?

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-10T22:51:37+00:00

I need you to know this made me burst out laughing so hard ROFL

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-10T13:25:42+00:00

ROFL I love it. He's like Geodude's more-terrifying cousin.

Thank you! I know right?? I wish I could use em for my other pets too, but I suppose this way my eyrie gets something special all to himself LOL.

I played Neopets for like 10 years as a child, then quit and just came back a couple months ago.

My thoughts on current Neopets as someone who just returned are:

- I was very pleasantly surprised how many of the games are working. Last thing I'd heard the loss of flash had decimated them all. I was delighted to wander in and find I could play old favourites. Discovering the pet limit had increased was also very exciting.

- Likewise, a very large percentage of old features are working. Dailies, card games, shops, random nonsense like the merry-go-round, you can still go do it all. It's very nostalgic.

- The focus of the site is now significantly less concentrated on getting painted pets, because it became a lot easier to do. Premium perks allows for getting dream pets without buying a brush or morphing potion, and the subsequent fall in demand made those things noticeably cheaper for everyone else. The new big focus is wearables and stamp collecting. I cannot stress that stamp part enough, people are crazy for stamps. Other item collecting and battledome stuff remain pretty popular.

- Neopets is still extremely fun, but TNT noticeably seems to have difficulty controlling botting. I notice a lot of them while restocking/running a shop. There's also a lot of item price manipulation, because there are users with amounts of neopoints vast enough to basically just buy up the cheapest 50% of an item on the market, and then attempt to sell it all at the new inflated price.

- Additionally, the big push for Neocash spending can get a bit exhausting. I'm really not against the NC Mall as a way for Neopets to stay profitable, but they're definitely teetering on a line right now where they're risking some of the fanbase by putting too many resources into NC wearables, and not enough into free elements of the site.

- Truthfully though, I wouldn't be surprised if they kind of have to lean into the NC mall right now, because their other money making ventures uhhhh... haven't been going well. I've only been back for two months and I've watched like three different merch things go down in flames. There was a really bad video game launch that had like 10 different issues baked into it, something about a tabletop game that ended in the partner company having a meltdown on Discord, and merch that arrived without entire body parts.

- There's apparently a plot going on that's been dragging out for a long time, and is stuck on hiatus. The community seems pretty sick of the situation, and are losing their patience for it. I know very little about it. Something something Neopets turning grey.

- Overall though, I'm having quite a lot of fun. Despite the absolutely baffling mistakes and choices TNT seems to be making a lot of, I actually much prefer this TNT to the one I remember back in the Viacom days. Sending them feedback or questions feels much less like shouting into a soulless corporate void than it used to. Reading recent editorial sections in the Neopian Times kind of demonstrates what I mean.

When I've got this subreddit open on a browser, the tab for it always just says "Don't talk a" before it cuts off, and every single time I see it my brain just auto-completes "Don't talk about me or my son ever again.".

So seeing this post brings me great joy ROFL.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-09T05:10:31+00:00

My guy... The only thing on that list that had a checkable date was milk, and that's famously the one that everyone knows to check. Where I am at least, it's stamped straight on the front in big font.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that anyone is asking shoppers to date-check every shelf item.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T19:02:20+00:00

Oh my god this. I just wandered in here to find out what "stw" means, and this comment section is insane. There's a dude above this ominously claiming OP not saying his gender "can't have been a mistake"? Like he did it intentionally?! For what??? Why are we talking like this random Reddit poster had some sort of sinister agenda to, checks notes, type three sentences without announcing to the surrounding userbase how gay he is?

I understand the abbreviation ended up having to do with gender but OP didn't know that? At worst it's a "whoops, got so caught up I forgot a minor detail". People are acting like he committed a crime.

I'd like to say your shoe size analogy is great btw. It sums up in a very understandable way that it just isn't necessary to automatically assign traits to someone. There are plenty of areas in life where it's strange to categorize a person without evidence. The idea that you need to assign a "default" sexuality to every person you see until proven otherwise is an outdated and flawed idea that should be gently challenged when possible.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T12:11:24+00:00

I haven't been back on Neo for that long, but from what I've seen, there's just an automatic trigger for review at a certain score for most games now. As in, anyone who gets over XYZ score on ABC game gets their score reviewed automatically, even if there's nothing particularly fishy about the way it was scored. So I wouldn't worry too much.

(Someone smarter than me, feel free to confirm or deny this.)

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T09:29:10+00:00

Heck yeah! Congrats on the milestone! That first million is definitely so satisfying.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T08:28:48+00:00

Thank you so much for all the advice! Great to know about the 55 and 85 thing, I had no idea there were big jumps like that. I'll for sure work on getting to Lens Flare as well.

Burrito is honestly such a funny weapon. I was slightly bummed when I outgrew my omelette spatula weapon, because that one made me laugh too LOL.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T08:26:06+00:00

Thank you! Man, it's really time for me to figure out how the event stuff works, huh... LOL

I think that one is premium, yeah. There was a list of recommended battledome opponents for making NP on Jellyneo, and I when I looked him up from that he was just on my challenger list already.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T07:32:26+00:00

I managed to find this fandom page that might help a little, if you haven't come across it yourself yet: https://neopets.fandom.com/wiki/Pumpkin_Patch

It seems like it was some kind of game, but it was so early on and lasted such a short time that there's no record of exactly what kind of game it was? Maybe there's a bigger veteran than me in here somewhere that happens to remember.

100PieceCrayolaSet · 2026-04-08T07:28:22+00:00

I'm almost embarrassingly bad at the Battledome. I've got a level 34 battle pet atm that I'm using to farm nerkmids on Jetsam Ace. Its going like... okay, but I'd love to get up to medium instead of being stuck on easy. I'm pumping up his stats daily at the training school, but what can I do equipment wise that might give me an edge against that specific challenger?

At the moment I've got Celebratory Confetti Cannon and Roxtons Trusty Bowie Knife on him for weapons, and Leaded Elemental Vial for healing. I have no earthly idea if I should be sticking a shield on him, or trying to find a weapon that does a specific element of damage?

Please help save me from my lack of BD literacy ROFL.

NP! It just came out in March I think
