With her longtime habit of popping out of the woods to bestow vast sums of wealth upon unsuspecting Neopians and the endless kindness she shows to those brave enough to attempt her quests, it goes without saying that Illusen is one of the most kind and helpful people in all of Neopia! This Earth Faerie's beauty is only matched by her warm and genuine personality, and one of the many ways that she shows her generosity is with food! Since we are here to celebrate Illusen Day, we thought we would help you out by sharing some of Illusen’s favourite treats and snacks to honor the occasion by sharing a meal with your friends, family, loved ones, or just yourself! Illusens Cream Cookie Yummy cream cookies that are great after any meal or for a special treat. These are one of Illusens favourite treats. This beloved and classic treat is well known to those who visit Illusen’s Glade in Meridell as the thoughtful and generous Illusen hands them out to any Neopian who completes the very first quest she gives. You can’t go wrong with this staple of the inventory, user shop, and safety deposit box whose very visual serves as a core memory to almost every pet in Neopia. Topped with a decadent and fluffy mint cream, these sweet cookies will delight your eyes as well as your taste buds! Illusen Waffle A leaf-shaped waffle smothered in rare dark syrup. This is hard to pass up. Illusen certainly wouldn’t want you to go out to fulfill her quests on an empty stomach, would she? This earthy leaf-shaped waffle is coated in a rich acorn syrup and makes an enchanting and hearty...

Something has Happened! A freckled Earth Faerie smiles at you. “Hi there! Would you do a quest for me? Illusen Day is coming up! How will you help keep Neopia green in her honour?” Although this may feel like a monumental task at first, we have compiled a guide so that all Neopians can complete this quest for Illusen and for the good of Neopia in general! In fact, being green is easier than you would think! The little decisions you make throughout the day add up to make the biggest difference. For example, a simple green choice to make would be walking or biking around Neopia when possible. That is obviously not doable with a trip to Kreludor, but you can find almost everything you need, from clothing, food, plushies, etc., all within a quick stroll from Neopia Central to the Bazar or Plaza. Do your best to stay local and shop local whenever possible, to help keep our Neopia as beautiful as possible. Speaking of the Neopian Bazaar, have you ever visited the Neopian Health Foods shop to get some fresh organic produce? They’re full of nutrition, delicious, and beneficial to the environment as well! Organic foods use fewer pesticides, which means they won’t harm Buzzes, but also Petpets like Springabees, Scarabugs, Buzzers, Zebbas, Camarillers, and even Petpetpets like Mootix, Bumbluz, Fleaf, and Beelzebug. That’s because pesticides deter harmful insects, but also target beneficial insects leading to loss of all biodiversity. Organic food also contains more vitamins than regular produce because of the way it is grown.

Every Neopian knows first impressions are key, especially when it comes to your Neohome. And what’s the first, first impression of your home? Well, it’s your Neogarden, of course! Greenest Grass Techniques is here to help ensure your Neogarden flourishes. You may recognize some of these tips from Illusens Guide to Gardening, Neohomes and Gardens, and Wonderful World of Gardening. We’ve collated the best information all in one place, handpicking tips from Neopia’s best gardening sources to create Greenest Grass Techniques, a singular, handy-dandy pocket guide to all things Neogarden for every reader, no matter how green. Your Neogarden not only speaks to your personal style, cleanliness, and commitment to your home, but it is a reflection of your entire neighbourhood. For this reason, your local chapter of the Neopian Homeowners Association (NHOA) is likely to have a large rulebook on what to — and what not to — do. While you can consider this a general guide to Neogardens, be sure to consult your individual HOA, as each land will have different preferences. The Neopia Central HOA surely wouldn’t approve of a landscape that is primarily dirt and rocks, but in Tyrannia this is a must! Plus, you’ll want to avoid costly faux pas, such as planting Darigan Seaweed in Meridell. Neogarden Essentials To begin, we will cover the essential categories to consider when decorating your garden.
