Starting again from nothing

[twinklyspangle]

Since spending every penny I had on a quiggle morphing potion and then an island PB (although my friend actually brought the PB) I now have a total of 451np.

My SDB is full of stuff, but there is nothing valuble at all. Everything in there under 500np I think.

I have every single kreludan book as well, but I wanted to wait to see if they would go up in price. Can anyone give me some advice regarding the best place to start making NP? My computer doesn't load flash games very well, I'm crap at everything except zurroball.

I need some tips!

I would like to add that this is not a good place to be when you have been laying neopets for 4 years.

actually,
buying cheap codestones/dubloons and reselling them would work.
Raiders of Maraqua/Volcano Run/Dubloon Disaster/Meerca Chase are easy and good games to earn np.
Just having a bit of luck can make you earn neopoints.
And neopoints is not everything is neopia, doing quests and fighting is battledome is entertaining.

Restock - best and easiest was to make NP. You'll need a bit more to start off with though.
I'd suggest something like Unity Challenge where you can earn up to 10k I think. Cellblock is a good game too. You can get 5k a day from that, as long as you don't lose too often (This Strategy is good. I haven't come across many opponents who don't use it).

i would suggest doing your dailies religiously and selling everything that you can get, doesn't matter if it's worth 1 np, also feed youe pets at the soup kitchen.

If you want to, you can go to the quest chat and offer help to people to find their quest items. I think a few will give a small token to thank the person for the help, i do it if i need some help there.

I found you can get Items from playing gormball then you can sale them in your shops and start getting neopoints that way, let me know if you need any hints

[twinklyspangle]

Thanks for the tips everyone I went play gormball and got a random event for a piece of treasure map, so thats a start

First, clean out that safety deposit box and sell everything in it.

Then do all of your freebies, including the quests if they are reasonable--my guidelines are spending no more than 400 for kitchen dude, 400 for esophagor, 200 for witch, and 2000 for snow faerie. And go back to the quests as soon as the deadline is up and ask for another one.

Play games--as many as you can. Fast ones are extreme herder, usuki frenzy, all of the sponsored games, meepit juice break, faerie bubbles, defender trainer, kacheek seek. If you are good at puzzles, you can get a lot of points from codebreakers, kiko match, sutek's tomb, and spell or starve.

Once you get about 50K, then try your hand at reselling easy to sell items that don't fluctuate too much in value--codestones, faeries, dubloons. Often people will underprice these 200 nps or more just to sell them quickly. But I have found that they always sell--relatively quickly-- if you sell them at the going market rate.

You need to check out all 8 lines on the shop wiz to see what the going market rate is for whatever you have decided to search for. When I first started, I made a list of the prices of all easy to sells--so if I went into a shop because of a cheap faerie, I then could check my list to see if the codestone in the shop was worth buying. But, you need to revamp this list often because prices do fluctuate. Then start searching for items.

Once you have some items, price yours a few points less than the person lowest on your line. Occasionally, you will get a great deal--one for 400 nps when the market is 5000 nps. Buy as much as you can with whatever nps you have, put them in your shop, and then go play some games. Once they sell, buy more and once again put them in your shop. Then go play more games until they sell. And on and on. You will need to check the shop wiz for your line often though--just in case someone puts 50 of whatever you are selling for 5 points less than you.

And, I have learned the hard way to never drop my np balance below a certain point--even if I am dying to get a certain item. It is really hard to start from zero and much easier if you have at least 100K stashed away. Because you just never know when you are going to see that lost desert paintbrush in someone's shop for 99,999.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you morningstar, that was a fantastic guide! How kind of you write all that out I think I will start doing that right away! I have saved your guide in a notebook file to refer back to *hugs*

Oh, I am so glad that I could help. I have been where you are--and I know how frustrating it can be.

[Mystique]

i think those kreludor books have already inflated massively..you could sell them if you want.

[Valé]

I have the same problem you have. My internet loads flash games like crap. It's slow, really slow. But I can tell you some games that make me get neopoints.
Don't forget to set the game quality as ''Low''
- Play Trouble at National Neopian - I can make an easy 600nps per game
- Play Hasee Bounce - I can make an easy 350nps per game
- Play Defender Trainer - I can make an easy 750nps per game

Sell your deck? That's what I did... over 60 cards in my shop.. Ugh.

[malaman]

If you have every kreludan book, you could probably sell Kreludan Games for 90k+. You can also try restocking those (the Kreludan Games book or others), the profit is small but you can get several each restock... I've got a couple of Kreludan Games and believe me, those pump up your NP fast

[twinklyspangle]

They were 4.5 earlier, and I ran out of np just before getting one. This doesn't seem very fair at all

EDIT: Oh. My God.

I just found four bottled faeries for 1000np!

This is crazy! Why have I never done this before?!

That made me grin. Now you why I (and countless others) resell instead of restock.

[ystava]

yep. I made millions reselling. I HATE restocks. I'm not fast enough.
