Hello! I remember reading somewhere that the Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies (from NC Mall) wouldn't be giving out Kaia quests because they require you to spend NC. I've now gotten two Kaia Quests. Is this intentional or is this a glitch?~~ _clows_cool_pets
This is incorrect. It is clearly stated in the FAQs that you can get a Kaia quest from a Faerie Quest Fortune Cookie. If you want to make sure not to get one, you can remove all your NC items from your inventory while your fortune cookie is active.

Thank you for the Cooking Pot hints! Now, would it also be possible for you to fix the recipe for Savoury Cubes which currently ends up making Crunchy Buzz Honey Delight instead? Thanks!~~minnesotan
Consider it done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you like a good mystery, then here's some food for thought: What are those tiny black particles inside a Co-Melon?

Hypothetically speaking: What would happen if a Neopet drank only half a transmogrification potion instead of the whole thing?! Would they transform halfway into some weird hybrid creature? Is that why Lord Darigan looked weird before he even became cursed? Is that how the Tax Beast became...whatever he is? (Shakes submission box) I NEED ANSWERS
Hypothetically...I'd say they would be half transmorgrified?? Maybe something similar to the split paint brush half of two different pets **gasp** now that would be a sight! And quite interesting..hmmm

Could we get some more emo hair for pets? Its halloween so its the perfect time I just want my pets to be fashionably 2008!~~zillyhoom
Love it! Reminds me of the good ole days. Sadly Halloween has already been planned but how about the holidays instead?

Nothing is Scarier than a Halloween Brat
It was Halloween night, and Walda the Baby Kacheek was sitting at home with a glum expression on her face. While her friends were out trick-or-treating, she was being punished for misbehavior which may or may not have included a chocolate-induced sugar rush. “Grounded on Halloween!” she exclaimed to herself. “This stinks!”

Who Rules the Haunted Woods?
The Haunted Woods encompass an absolutely massive swath of land in southern Neopia. From the Werelupe Woods to the halls of Castle Nox, most of the Haunted Woods is ruled by local Lords, Ladies, and other kinds of nobility who govern their own patches of land. While the Haunted Woods has no formally declared ruler, is there someone who stands out above the rest as a de facto leader? I’ll be evaluating the arguments for and against the leadership of a number of powerful Neopians who call the Haunted Woods their home.
