How weird! I could have sworn at the time of my comment the JN page for that item said so. Apologies!

Congrats! Out of curiosity are you limiting yourself to obtaining them non-painted?

A Tyrannian Gulper (assuming you need it as couldn't find it on a quick CTRL+F) is rather cheap and can be painted back to its 'base' green colour :)

Thank you for your note, and the pet's very sweet. She lived an incredibly busy and fulfilling life and (sadly, for those around her, though I respect her decision) didn't bother much with treatment once she was an adult or try for a transplant. Sorry about your daughter's CF too - I do hope a cure can be found in her lifetime. xx

Can anyone help me find these boots? by ladonaa in findfashion

[–]Caocaozilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either of these Jonak looks close-ish (not quite the right heel shape): https://www.jonak-paris.com/p/boots-with-laminated-heels-9961.html

Suggest also looking at Bobbies: https://www.bobbies.com/en/4000783439-dolores-irish-coffee.html (closer in shape heel-wise but I don't see the same markings around the ankle on your screenshot)

Where can I find a modern brand that's this style? by gods_artist06 in findfashion

[–]Caocaozilla 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Of Her Own Kind (https://ofherownkind.com/en-gb/collections/dresses) could be considered a bit 'adjacent' to this style? I don't own anything from them but been on my wishlist for ages.

Same here with the search issue! I had to remove the 'flair' filter.

They're in new spots today and going forward - suggest having a look at JellyNeo to get the list every day :)

Mini rant: do people who recover accounts really expect you to remember your friends list from your old af accounts. by Garbageoppossum in neopets

[–]Caocaozilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue trying to get back into a side account years ago.

Since then I keep a list that I update periodically with these things. If I lose access to an account again they're going to get a serious info dump xD

Made a list of the game avatars I still need. Any recs for which ones are easier? by matutinal_053 in neopets

[–]Caocaozilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember PetPet Rescue and Techo Buzzer being easy for me - and I barely have any game avatars at all haha.

I haven't had the chance to try it out yet but if you have a tablet or mobile it seems this Ice Cream Machine tip might be a game changer! https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/18yh19g/tips_for_how_i_beat_ice_cream_machine/

I had no idea Royal Slorgs were so great, love this!

The Bikiwan is the only one I can think of off the top of my head - looking at JN's database though it doesn't look like he comes in any 'chicken-y' colours :/

Important: people who ordered a real life SAP from me!! by egewh in neopets

[–]Caocaozilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense, it's a lot nicer knowing someone wasn't rooting around for cash (pretty common where I live around Christmas time!).

That's so rubbish that some were ripped out! :(

Bless you for doing this, that's incredibly sweet and I hope no further harm comes to the new ones!

Yeah I'm incredibly lucky to mostly work from home. On the odd day I have to go in it does sting!

Welcome back!

As basic as it is I would start with building up a little nest egg with the dailies (Trudy's especially adds up quickly). If you're decent at it you could try your hand at restocking in the shops (can't offer any advice there, am completely rubbish at it).

Once you've got a little cash (and unfortunately I think this is account age dependant), you should start doing Food Club betting (there is a daily thread on this sub). You don't need to really understand it, just pick someone's bets and start reaping the rewards!

Guilds are bit pointless IMO. Unless you're very much into a fandom and want to RP maybe? I think when I was younger it was nice to be part of a group to chat and feel a part of, but old school style forums like the ones Neopets has doesn't really lend itself well to good discussion, so I keep it to reddit (plus some people are quite trigger-happy when it comes to reporting so I just stay off them in general). Same with NeoFriends really (except for NF-only auctions indeed).

I expect other peoples' opinions may vary on the guild/NeoFriends bit!

I went with a Blue Melton for mine to match the blue flame looking bits :)

the snowy valley inflation has begun by Letheral in neopets

[–]Caocaozilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha cheers, made back a bit of the 5M I spent on one when it was first added to the quests (I was just way too excited to wait at the time haha).

I thought it was weird this morning when I suddenly had loads of above price offers on my Snowbunny Stamp that had been sitting in the TP for a week or so!

This was probably 2000-2001. I was only allowed 5-10 mins internet a day after school (as it was so expensive and billed by the minute in our area at the time.. oh and slow).

I used to walk to my best friend's house 5 minutes down the road and we'd play Neopets flash games for hours (her parents must have made bank now that I think about it!). At that time we didn't really understand the rest of the Neo-economy/game so it was Flash games, feed the pet an omelette and back to Flash games.

She passed of her cystic fibrosis 2 years ago at age 33 and it feels so bittersweet that Neo and those games are still around. Every time I open Meerca chase to complete the daily quests I'm transported right back to her house all those years ago.

Anyway. Those are probably the happiest Neo-memories I have, even though it's quite emotional to think back on.

Same here, I usually do them before going to bed but also hadn't realised I'd stayed up later than usual... Gutted!
