How to Save Time and Money While Having a GREAT Time! By island401 |

Didn't you just hate it when you first started playing NeoPets? Okay, slow down - don't get mad at me yet! I'm serious here. When you first start you usually get about 550 NP. Most beginners go, "Hey! Money!" But that's not true! 550 NP is not a lot in Neopia at all. First of all, you can rely on the Soup Faerie, I love her soooooooo much! And you can kind of rely on the Money Tree, but heck - I have never gotten anything decent from it! Well, when you first start you have to do a lot of things: a) Feed your pet (thank you Soup Faerie!) But there are a few problems with this system. The first is the shop. It costs 250 NP to open it, then how much to upgrade it??? And then much more to stock it, restock it, get some contests going....Eventually you're paying more for the shop than your customers!!! But that's normal. The problem is that when you're first starting out you don't HAVE NP to spend or do anything with. Here, I'll give you some free advice to solve this problem: a) Open the bank account and put in at least 100 NP-- DO NOT SPEND THIS
MONEY UNTIL YOUR SHOP IS DOING WELL A lot of you are probably going, "What!? No toys for our pets?! Are you nuts!?" No, I'm not. I've actually discovered a way to make your pets happy - and make a profit from it. Buy an item that's NOT food or trading card, and play with your pet or read to your pet. With books you can read the book to your pet and put it in your store. This entertains, enlightens, and profits you and your little NeoPet family. With toys you can play with your pet about 5 or 6 times before it becomes bored. After that, put the toy in the shop. Remember: Don't price items more than 50 NP more than you paid for it!!! And if you break or rip the toy, 50% off from its estimated value is the only courteous thing to do. Next: When you're playing games, as a beginner stick to games that are free but you can earn money from playing. An example is Kacheek Seek or Lenny Trivia. These two games are excellent! Your pets can play a long time before growing bored of them and you earn up to and more than 25 NP each time you play! The only problem with Lenny Trivia is that if you answer a question once you only profit from it once. But have no fear, they update the questions a lot. Oh, once you're into the big money (you have about 300 NP on you at a time) start putting at least a quarter of the money from your Shop Till into your bank account. I always do! If I earn 250 NP one day, I put 100 NP into the bank right away! I have over 3000 NP in my bank account for emergencies or shopping days. Don't put too much in your bank account at first, but do try to have a minimum of 100 NP in there at all times. If you run out of money don't use that last 100 NP! Then you will be totally broke and you'll have to start ALL OVER. And when you take out money, never ever go around Neopia with more than 300 NP in your hand, there are ghosts and such everywhere. Not to mention computer crashes! My final tip is to read the money saving article in Issue 32 of the Neopian Times. It was written by avidwriter88 and I have benefited from it greatly. I hope you benefit from my tips as well. Poor people: The Soup Faerie loves you! Oh, and Rich People one last thing: The bigger the variety in your shop + low prices = BIG MONEY. ****Please support TCFA! Cheap Faeries is the only way for pets to be blessed, what if one day you went broke and needed a faerie to bless your pet and you only had 50 NP and the faerie was 1000 NP?**** |
