March 2009 News Archive

Starting from today you will be able to win a special easter prize everyday!
Just go to the Springtime celebration page and claim your prize!!!
For the first day the prize is Cybunny Ears with a Spring Bow!

At SunnyNeo we constantly try to improve our pages to make them easier to use or more interesting to visit. Today we are proud to release our new and improved Petpet Puddle (or should we say Petpet Puddle 2.0?).

In the new Petpet Puddle you can view the images of all petpets of a species or colour you've selected at the same time. This allows you to quickly compare the different kinds of petpets. 
Another new feature is that in the colours dropdown you can also select Unpainted. This will result in a list of all the petpets in their normal colour. This is especially useful if you are looking for a certain petpet but don't know the name. You will quickly be able to look at all the pictures of the petpets to find the one you are looking for.


Also (thanks to the many people who neomailed about this) Terror Mountain's Happy Valley has had a makeover! The same goes for the Ice Caves and the Mountain Top.

Even more Unreleased Daily Dare Prizes have been found, get ready to start practicing for: Petpet Plunge, Dubloon Disaster, Hasee Bounce, The Usul Suspects, Crisis Courier and Ice Cream Machine!

Thank you witchdoctor58, strilmus, drazu, darkdc, 7smartone7, strilmus, unicru, paroni_dante and bartdrunkeys who have contributed to the petpage of thexc, dedicated to Daily Dare.

We've just created a brand new page for all to use: a Secret Lab Map Prices page. This page shows the prices of each secret lab map piece. This way you will know what a piece costs if you want to buy the lab map, or what it is worth if you want to sell a piece.

The page also has graphs which show the price fluctuations of the lab map pieces over time.


To learn more about the laboratory itself, visit our Secret Laboratory page.

If you have the laboratory, we also have a nifty feature called Lablog, it allows you to keep a record of all your zaps.

We have added a Petpetpet page to our site, a nice match for our Rainbow Pool and Petpet Puddle.   We have listed all the known petpetpets and added a few helpful hints.

The prize for the third keyquest beta test had just appeared in the inventory's of those who have helped test on March 14th. The prize awarded is a Key Garland, which is a wearable toy.

We have a preview of the new Darigan and Chocolate Chomby. Thanks to neocolours.de for the images.

Note: You may post unreleased images that neocolours found on the neopets server on your site but please add a credit with link to neocolours.

As previously mentioned, a game with the odd name Barf Boat has gone up for premium beta testing. For those of you without premium, some information about the game.

Captain Arf's little ship is docked beneath the Golden Dubloon in Krawk Island. Every night after the restaurant closes, they dump the leftover food overboard, and it lands on the deck of Captain Arf's ship. He gobbles the food down and promptly gets sick... just before he's about to set sail. His crew can feel the ship rocking from below deck and come up to check on their captain. Sometimes they even jump overboard to escape the wildly rocking boat!

In this game you have to press your left and right arrow keys to balance the boat and prevent the petpets from falling into the sea. Press the spacebar to make everyone jump. Collect gold coins for extra points and avoid bombs.

Good news for all Premium Beta Testers out there: There is now a new Beta Test Game called Barf Boat. Lovely. You can play it here if you have Premium.

Also, there are some more Unreleased Daily Dare Prizes. Hoorah!

Thank you hoeiva, patrick418, purplebin, 7smartone7, witchdoctor58 who have contributed to the petpage of thexc, dedicated to Daily Dare.

TNT has opened a new store: Ever Stocked General Store. This store sells some basic items, such as food, toys, books, grooming items and clothes at a set price. As the name suggests: the shop never runs out of stock.

The clothes sold in this shop are all wearable, which means that you can use them to customise your pets !

There are two new shields you can use on your userlookup: a Water Faerie Shield and a Faerie Xweetok Shield.

We have also added something completely new: a KeyQuest Counter!

Amount of Gold Keys Bree has collected: Too High Too Count! Beat that!

Five new freebie items have been found, all Negg Hunt themed.  These seem to be available to US and Canadian users, also Hong Kong, Australia,  New Zealand and the Netherlands, but not much luck in the rest of Europe or South Africa.  The items can be found at various places in the neo merchandise area.

Negg Hunt Gift Box can be found here.
Negg Hunt Lollipop can be found here.
Wind Up Negg Hunt Toy can be found here.
The Mysterious Case of the Merchandise Hunt Neggs can be found here.
Negg Hunt Lunch Box can be found here.


All items can be sold for neopoints and they seem to give out neopoints as well, so remember not to collect on side accounts.

As many of you had noticed, on March 15th the Daily Dare prizes got switched. For beating AAA people got a Target Flying Disc, and Abigails prize was a wearable Ultimate Bullseye II Quiver. This seemed wrong, as AAA normally has the wearables and Abi the toys. Thanks to bolbe6 we have confirmation from TNT that this was indeed a mess up on their side. They also wrote that they are working on correcting their error, and something nice may be on the way to people who were affected by this error. You can read TNT's reply in the image below.

Good news for firefox users who wanted to use the Neopets Toolbar but found out that it was incompatible with firefox 3. Apparently, TNT fixed it! Firefox 3 users are able to install the toolbar now without receiving errors about security issues. If you want to get the toolbar download the newest version from the toolbar page and install it. Thank you darkdc for this info!
We have also been contacted by a nice lady who is reffered to as the Space Faerie Code Faerie. If you are unable to buy a merchandise item which contains a Space Faerie code, you can ask the Space Faerie Code Faerie for one. Make sure you meet the requirements listed on her petpage before you neomail her. It is important that you have trained your pet so that you are actually able to beat her, etc.

Just a quick reminder, tonight there is a third Keyquest load test. In order to receive a free item you must enter a game of Keyquest between 5pm and 6pm NST. If you also finish a game between that time, you will also receive double keys. Former prizes for testing were: Ships Barometer and Carved Walking Stick, these were both wearable items. To learn more about keyquest, read SunnyNeo's Keyquest Guide!

In addition to the unreleased Abigail Keyquest token, here are some unreleased item prizes.
Thank you zappermajig, zadorvp, 7smartone7, czarnyolek13, docallens and others for this information!

Ultimate Bullseye II Quiver	Target Flying Disc	Shiny Ultimate Bullseye II Quiver
Wheeler and Bike Plushie	Wheelers Coconut Bike	Crate of Spilt Coconuts

We don't know in which order these games will be released, but this should give you an idea on which games to start practising at: Destruct-O-Match III, Faerie Cloud Racers, Hot Dog Hero, Ultimate Bullseye II, Mynci Beach Volleyball and Wheeler's Wild Ride.

Be sure to check out Daily Dare Coverage and Daily Dare Goodies pages!

According to the Neopets Newsletter of March, a new Key Quest token will be given out during daily dare. A quote from the newsletter:

Keep an eye out for Fruit Picker, a new Key Quest mini-game. And, if you play Daily Dare, you may earn an exclusive Key Quest token!

In addition to the existing token of AAA, this new token has got to be none other than Abigail!

Be sure to check our Daily Dare Guide for a complete cover of Daily Dare, filled with tips. For more information on keyquest, check our Keyquest Guide!

We have a preview of the new Jelly and Electric Scorchio.

Remember to keep checking our Daily Dare Guide for tips and information on the current Daily Dare.

It looks like the prize for those who participated in the second Keyquest Load Test is a Ships Barometer (wearable).  Don't forget, next load test is Saturday March 14 from 5pm to 6pm NST.  And don't forget to check out our Keyquest Guide!

Edit: Apparently, some people have received two (or more!) of these items. We don't know why this is happening, we assume it's a glitch.

We have a preview of the new Disco and Camouflage Gelert. Thanks neocolours.de for the pictures.

Tonight there is another Keyquest Test. This time its a bit earlier, between 4-5pm NST. Those who enter a game of keyquest (you don't have to finish the game) will receive a rare item. Last time, this item was a Carved Walking Stick. To learn more about keyquest, read SunnyNeo's Keyquest Guide!


Remember, every day we update our Daily Dare guide with new tips and tricks for todays challenges!

After getting many requests, we have decided to make a new Daily Dare counter that also has Lulu on it.
