50 Things to Do In Neopia When You're Feeling Grey by _brainchild_
--------
Time and time again, I see Neopians who are feeling grey for whatever reason. Maybe the Pant Devil stole your paintbrush. Maybe you find yourself bored and out of things to do. Or maybe you’re trying to achieve a goal, but it’s difficult, so you need to take a break and try something else. Therefore, in honour of the Grey Day issue of the Neopian Times, I present 50 things to do in Neopia when you’re feeling grey:
1. Morph and paint your pet into the pet of your dreams. 2. Trade for a new pet that you always wanted. 3. Give your pet a makeover by means of customization. There are plenty of affordable Neopoint wearables! 4. If you have Neocash, buy NC wearables or trade for the perfect NC wearable. 5. Buy your pet a new Petpet, and paint it if desired. 6. Buy your new Petpet a Petpetpet and refresh with the corresponding Neopet active until it attaches. Maybe a nice random event will come your way while you’re refreshing! 7. See what your pet can fish up at the Underwater Fishing Vortex. I hear that some of the prizes are actually worthwhile! 8. Get your pet off the couch and into the Faerieland Employment Agency to help out and make Neopoints at the same time. 9. Go to one of the training schools to build up your Neopet’s stats. 10 Defeat opponents in the 1 player Battledome for 15 item prizes and 1500 nps per day. Premium members can get Nerkmids from the Cosmic Dome, and everyone can get their fair share of codestones. 11. Have your pet read some books, or maybe Booktastic Books. Your pet could win an award someday! 12. Feed your pet lots of gourmet food to count toward the gourmet trophy. 13. Or send your Neopet to the Neolodge if gourmets are not within your budget. 14. Draw a lovely picture of your pet, or maybe an Art Gallery entry! 15. Create a Petpage about whatever you’d like. Maybe it could be a collection of your art. 16. Enter a creative contest, like the aforementioned Art Gallery, Poetry Contest, Storytelling Contest, Caption Contest, or the Neopian Times. 17. Try to guess what the Mystery Pic is. A new picture is provided weekly! 18. Try collecting some more avatars. There are over 400 of them! 19. Collect some more stamps. There are over 800 of them! 20. Collect some more Neodeck cards. There are over 350 of them! 21. Turn your gallery into a mind-blowing stash of whatever items you adore. Maybe it will win the Gallery Spotlight someday! 22. Sell some items in your shop for Neopoints. 23. Put your more valuable items on the Trading Post for Neopoints. 24. Participate in site events when they are available. 25. Feed whiny, bratty Kadoaties at the Kadoatery. You may wonder why you’d want to do that, but you will be rewarded with a trophy, and an avatar if you feed 75 of them. 26. Play the games in the games room which have been converted to HTML5. Currently, you can choose from Destruct-o-Match III, Faerie Bubbles, Ultimate Bullseye II, Turmac Roll, Fashion Fever, Hasee Bounce, Ice Cream Machine, Rink Runner, Igloo Garage Sale: The Game, Kass Basher, and AAA’s Revenge. 27. Play the games which don’t require HTML5. You can choose from AAA’s Revenge, Armada, Cellblock, Cheat, Cheeseroller, Cliffhanger, Dice-a-Roo, Double or Nothing, Fetch, Food Club, Go Go Go, Godori, Gormball, Grarrl Keno, Jubjub Blackjack, Kacheek Seek, Kiss the Mortog, Krawps, Neggsweeper, Neoquest or Neoquest II, Neopoker, Plushie Tycoon Potato Counter, Pyramids, Sahkmet Solitaire, Scarab 21, Scorchy Slots, Sewage Surfer, Shapeshifter, Snow Wars, Round Table Poker, the Tombola, and Tyranu Evavu. 28. Go visit Mika and Carassa in their igloo. Maybe you’ll find something nice to buy. 29. Go do quests for the Brain Tree and the Esophagor. The Brain Tree can give you an avatar and trophy! 30. Try filling out the Faerie Crossword. If you finish it, you’ll be rewarded with Neopoints. 31. Spin the Fruit Machine. If you’re really lucky, you may win a paintbrush! 32. Try to make King Skarl laugh with a joke, which is really difficult. If you get thrown out of the castle, at least you’ll get an avatar! 33. Alternatively, try to impress King Hagan with your wisdom. 34. Try to guess the Weight of the Marrow. If you guess every day, you’re bound to get it eventually. 35. Do quests for Illusen and Jhudora. You can get trophies and some very useful items if you finish in time. 36. If you are randomly given a faerie quest, be sure to complete that, too! Alternatively, you can get one guaranteed quest a day if you buy a cookie with Neocash. 37. Go solve the puzzle at the Mysterious Negg Cave. I hear that you can earn an avatar, and some useful item prizes, too! 38. Buy some Neopian lottery tickets. You’ll be rewarded with a trophy and Neopoints if you win! 39. Play Pick Your Own for some interesting berries which your Neopet will love. Just throw away any dung you find... Yuck. 40. Bet on a Poogle during the Poogle Races. You’ll get an avatar if your Poogle wins! 41. Invest in the Stock Market. Buy and sell wisely. 42. Spin the Tombola. You might win a codestone! 43. Use Nerkmids at the Vending Machine. Potential rewards include paintbrushes and a trophy. 44. Spin Trudy’s Surprise. You can’t go wrong with free Neopoints and the weekly item prize. 45. Pay the Rich Slorg a visit. 50 Neopoints is 50 Neopoints you didn’t have before. 46. Go visit the Forgotten Shore for a chance at some lost treasure. 47. Visit the Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity for a chance at some Neopoints, an item, or a coveted avatar. 48. Claim your free omelette and jelly for the day. Yum! 49. Play Buried Treasure for a chance at an avatar or a Neopoint or item reward. 50. Bet some levels with Count Von Roo when he’s awake. You could lose, though... ---Conclusion--- As you can tell, there is a lot more to do in Neopia than a lot of people realize. The next time you’re feeling grey, pick one of the items I mentioned and give it a try. It’ll lift your boredom, and you may come out richer. Until next time, dear readers!
