Ever wondered if you knew everything about NeoPets? Answer these 10 questions
to find out if you're a NeoPet Master and of which type!
1. Have you felt the effects of Neopian inflation?
THE NEOPOLOGIST
If you have detected any changes in Neopian prices or can statistically prove
that there is no such thing as Neopian inflation, then you are a certified Neopologist.
The Neopologists among us are serious NeoPet players who have studied the NeoPet
economy and utilises economic data to his or her advantage. From the stock market
to population to the forces of Neopian supply and demand, this die-hard Neopian
is a hub of numbers, statistics and rational economic thought.
2. Have you beaten Punching Bag Bob more than 100 times?
THE BOB HATER
Well... what can I say? Anyone who has beaten Bob more than 100 times definitely
needs a trophy in their trophy case recognising them as a NeoPet Battledome
elder. Of course beating Bob 100 times over requires a lot of patience and time.
As pathetic as Bob is as an attacker, he makes up for it in his supernatural
endurance. If Bob can't beat you normally, he will do it through sustaining
countless attacks and tiring your clicking finger. The expert Neopian however,
will have accumulated enough weapons and skills to inflict maximum damage on
a mere punching bag. If not, he or she must have the patience to outlast Bob.
3. Have you played NeoPets at all hours of NST?
THE 24-HOUR NEOPIAN
Matching overnight convenient stores, this Neopian is no doubt always first
in line to steal from the Snowager. These types of people also monitor the Money
Tree and Coltzan's Shrine whilst studying its time patterns and when the rare
items are dispensed. Waiting patiently for these times, they are ready to pounce
at any free rare item, even if it is 4 AM in the morning.
4. Have you ever had dreams of NeoPets?
THE NEO-DREAMER
A Neopian who has had dreams in the outside world is a serious die-hard fanatic.
These sort of events are common and identify those of us who crave every drop
of excitement Neopia has to offer. Neo-dreaming, as it is sometimes referred
to, is an important facet that distinguishes the truly experienced Neopian from
the newcomers who have not yet been captivated by Neopia. The Neo-dreamer are
alternatives to the 24 hour Neopian, who must substitute actual playing with
recurring dreams of Aishas, Chias and so on.
5. Do you own a Rod of Dark Nova?
THE SENIOR CITIZEN NEOPIAN
The owner of a Rod of Dark Nova immediately reveals themselves as a senior citizen
in Neopia. As well as being a powerful weapon, the Rod symbolises great experience
in the world of Neopia. Anyone who has saved enough money to purchase this relic
is no Neopian newbie. The rod marks a lifetime of savings, hard work and an
account as old as NeoPets itself. They have strenuously tried, tested and experimented
every kind of method for earning legitimate Neopoints. If not, this person has
been on Neopia long enough to be famous enough to inherit such a gift from another
Neopian elder.
6. Can you name all the NeoPets in alphabetical order?
THE NEOVET
If you can name all the NeoPets in alphabetical order, then you are a grand
master in NeoPets. The typical NeoPet fanatic will have probably have achieved
this in their first year as Neopians. More amazingly, they are probably already
on to reciting all the PetPets. This skill naturally comes from playing NeoPets
and is not purposely memorised to wow friends and colleagues. Other variations
of this skill include reciting the NeoPets in terms of popularity, height size
and NeoPet pound composition.
7. Do you have a start up function that automatically loads up NeoPets
every time Internet connection is established?
THE NEOPIAN TOUR GUIDE
A key characteristic of the Neopian-know-it-all is the instant connection. It
portrays the Neopian who can't get enough of Neopia. They have endlessly scoured
every corner, crevice and crack in Neopia and have the qualifications of a Neopian
tour guide. They can usually tell you the quickest route or click, from the
concert hall to the trading post. Quite commonly, these people will have already
detailed rough sketches of more worlds and how they fit in with the rest of
Neopia.
8. Do you have a 'to-do' list when NST switches to 0:00?
THE DAILY LIMIT NEOPIAN
The 'to-do' list type of Neopian are becoming common these days. They generally
have an insatiable appetite for freebies and systematically list their errands
so that no stone is left unturned. A typical example of such a list would be:
1. Collect interest
2. Check Money Tree
3. Buy stocks
4. Play Swarm
5. Go to Wishing Well
6. Check Money Tree again
This Neopian takes daily limits as literally as possible. They will squeeze
everything each day has to offer from Tombola to the Fruit Machine.
9. Have you memorised the shops restocking times?
THE SHOP HAGGLER
Any Neopian who has studied the patterns of the restocking times has proven
to be an experienced Neopian. To them the restocking times are equivalent to
an astrologer's night sky. It is an empowering element that governs the fortunes
of everyday people. In turn, the restocking times will dictate this Neopian's
life and all Neopian activity will be centred around these key times.
10. Can you appraise almost any item?
THE NEOPIAN APPRAISER
These Neopians are experts in the field of prices and are very up to date with
all the latest spending trends. They can usually tell you if the price of Scorchstones
are rising or not (the more experienced ones can tell you why). They are a human
equivalent to the Shop
Wizard. This skill demonstrates invaluable Neopian experience and is
used to efficiently reject quests or to determine if an item is worth bidding
for in auctions. The Neopian appraiser is a deadly efficient Neopian who can
spot bargains and rip-offs the moment they are priced.
It you satisfy any of these criteria, then you are a Neopian Master. You have
studied the inner workings of Neopia well. If you have satisfied all of the
criteria, then you are a Neopian God! The Faerie Queen should bow to you and
you should be worshipped from your heavenly abode above Neopia and even above
Faerieland. |
