October 2012 News Archive
This is an archive of all of our older news that we have removed from the front page of the site.

Those are real loot tables we put in for testing, but it appears there's a bug that ignores the rarity and chooses any item from the table indiscriminately. This is, of course, not how it's supposed to work. So we're pulling loot down (including NP) for now while we look into it. Yeah, there is a 5 item per day cap right now. That appears to be working just fine, thankfully. That's why we put it so low... just in case the loot went rogue for whatever reason. (And to keep earnings low since this is a closed test.) |
We started listing all the available prizes at our Battledome Beta guide. With the 5 item a day maximum this will of course not go as fast anymore now. We do feel like we got very far with the list already.
While during the first testing the rarest prizes such as nerkmids, paint brushes and morphing potions were just as easy to obtain as the cheaper prizes, this will now be corrected by TNT.
Aww, we were hoping for some extra clients at the vending machine... :'(

We are in need of more previews for these new items. If you would like to model, why not check out our Model for Sunnyneo page? You can upload your pets outfit automatically using our Model Page. And don't forget, you can always check out how the new LEs look on your own pets at The Dressing Room.

In our coverage about the new Battledome, we already mentioned item rewards you would get after winning a battle. Now these prizes are available in beta-testing and we thought it would be nice to give you some info on them.
The current prizes include codestones, different kinds of weapons, food and books, but some bigger items like Morphing Potions, Paint Brushes and Nerkmids have been reported as well.
Of course, keep in mind this is only Beta-testing yet and these things might yet change before the Battledome goes live. We've updated our Battledome BETA guide with info on the prizes. Here you can find all the other info about the new battledome as well. Go check it out!
With all those codestones given out, training should become a bit cheaper
If you want to get in the mood for Halloween, be sure to use our Fall and Halloween graphics to get a spooky look-up, gallery or what else you'd like to see spooky! Or take our Halloween quiz to see what would be your perfect Halloween!
We've updated our Masks of Dread guide with all the info on this last quest.
Also, today is the last day for Edolie's fantastic finds. Be sure to get some Magnifying Glasses if you don't have them yet!
Looking for spooky things....
Find an Eyrie, sweet and striped...
MME13-S1: Magical Shrunken Heads. Our MME guide has been updated. This MME has three different ID numbers.
Argh! Are these real?!
"Find the mansion of a hero, in a place that was shattered."
"Seek out a circle that makes you happy... for a while, and for a cost. After all ."
You should see it when it moves! BOOM!!
While Prof Milton is busy upgrading his cloning devices why not play some other games to earn neopoints using our Top Ratio Game Guide
Atleast I get a break from nesting
To enter, you have to:
- Customise a Neopet in our Dressing Room (or another one, but we'd love some SunnyNeo entries!) or use your own Neopet on Neopets, and design the best costume that you can!
- Send an e-mail to [email protected] with the following information:
- The URL of the dressed Neopet. (No entries with image attachments will be accepted.)
- Your Neopets.com username.
- A brief description of the costume.
After you've customised your pet in the SunnyNeo Dressing Room, you will need to make a screenshot and upload it somewhere, as TNT does not want to receive e-mails with attachements. To make a screenshot, first make sure you've got the right outfit on your screen. Then press the Print Screen or prtscrn button on your keyboard. For Mac computers, you have to push: Apple+Shift+3 and then click on the screen. You can then go to any graphics program such as paint, paste the image and save it. You can upload the saved image. Don't know how to do this? Don't despair! Look at SunnyNeo's Uploading Images tutorial.
We'd love to see some fabulous SunnyNeo entries, so get customising!
With the important news out of the way, you may have noticed a new username making this topic! Hello everyone, I'm Juney and I.. love items! I'm currently working on a brand new Missing Item Archive that will tell you all about glitched and broken items around Neopia! While that's underway, I'm filling in for the customisation team :) (Needless to say, I'm not a fantastic customiser myself, haha!)
"Find a fellow who has dedicated his life to lighting the darkness. You'll have to dig deep this time."
En Garde!
The Top Ratio Game Guide has been updated with this month's best ratio games! It sure seems like a better month for daily games, which means a great month for making neopoints!
Start dodging those dodgeballs!
Our Masks of Dread guide has now been updated for this year, starting with today's quest!
Edit: The NC mall part of Masks of Dread is available now as well. Our guide has been updated.
Also, we are still looking for previews for Saskia's masks. Have a look at our Model for SunnyNeo page to see which previews we still need. We need those previews for:
Time for the Circus!
If you already have some of the items, head on over to our Model for SunnyNeo page to help out! Thank you!

I'm too cute to be on sale
Thank you John for pointing out this image.
We will keep you updated on all new Battledome news, in the mean time, you can read the Battledome FAQ for all you need to know.
Earlier on, we posted the names of some unreleased backgrounds that will come out around Halloween. They are:
- Nox Castle Silhouette Background
- Neovia Shop Silhouette Background
- Wheel of Misfortune Silhouette Background
- Haunted Weapon Silhouette Background
- Games Graveyard Silhouette Background
Unfortunately, Apple Bobbing that has moved to the Haunted Faire, comes with a not so pleasant glitch. When bobbing for apples with an unconverted pet, this glitch might turn your neopet blue and thereby converting it. So be sure not to have your unconverted pet active when bobbing for those apples!
To get the Edna avatar you must successfully complete a quest at the Witch's Tower, and then its random whether you get the avatar or not. Here at SunnyNeo we have an Edna Project which logs all successful (and unsuccessful) quests that have been submitted. It appears all successfull quests have been ones where she asks for three items.
You can take part by visiting our Edna Project and clicking on Submit Quests Form. You can also see all Successful Quests and your submitted quests will be logged at the Quester Profiles page. You do not need an account for this.

Goodbye, old friend! - The (old) Battledome is now officially closed. It has sacrificed itself so that its brother, New Battledome, may soon live. ALL HAIL OLD BATTLEDOME! Anyone interested and able can join us on the Battledome Neoboard as we say goodbye. And for the technical stuff: when attempting to visit any Battledome pages, you'll be forwarded to an error page. You'll also receive an error when trying to equip items from your inventory. Next up will be Closed Beta and we'll announce that here in New Features when we start sending out invitations. |
Hopefully this will mean new Battledome will be on it's way soon!
Until then, this means you cannot do anything dealing with the battledome anymore, including equiping and unequiping battledome items to your Neopet. To read more about the closing of the Battledome be sure to check out it's FAQ!
Edit: it seems you can still get the Battledome challengers on teh site, even though the battledome isn't working. Thanks goes to malingchaobff for this info. Want to know what battledome challengers you can get? Have a look at our Battledome Challengers page.
Goodbye old Battledome. It was fun, but now it's gone... :(
