The nobles of Shenkuu have left their family crests along the course for her to collect. Gather as many as you can for extra points and to honour the noble houses of Shenkuu! |

When the path is blocked by Drackonacks, brave deeds are never forgotten. Is that right?
Regarding the The Faeries' Ruin update: We are done tallying the scores and art for the prizes are complete. However, we are still trying to work on balancing the cost of each item so everyone gets their fair share of prizes. As we are still calculating, our estimated prize shop and epilogue arrival date is Wednesday, January 26th. To tide you over a little, we wanted to give you a little preview of a few of the prizes that you will be able to redeem once the shop goes live. Thanks for your patience, everybody! |
They have given a few previews of what is to be expected for the prize shop!
Yay! A new site theme to use.

Lutari's are rare limited edition Neopets which could at first only be created through Neopets Mobile, a paid service that isn't available anymore. It is also possible to zap one through the Lab Ray or be lucky and create one at Lutari day. Now for the first time, you can get a Lutari by morphing it from another Pet as well.
For more information about Lutaris, Lutari Island and Neopets mobile, have a look at our Lutari Island guide.
*NOW LIVE! - We are happy to announce that Habitarium is out of beta! Now you can level up to 50 and purchase new "snowy" NC items. Not only do we have the new features, but we have quite a few more bug fixes as well, so between the two, we hope you enjoy the changes. Thank you to all who have helped us beta test the game! :) |
Some of the new features added:
- You can now level up to level 50.
- NC Snow items have been added, including ink droppers to paint your P3 and bottles to paint your buildings. There's also a Snow Petpetpet!

Dear gapi19, Hi There! Thanks for writing! We get tons of requests for holiday-themed paint brushes! A Valentine's Day brush would definitely be cute! Our team is always at work on new brushes and items though and we'll be sure to let our users know about a new brush on the home page the instant we add it to the site! So, keep checking! Maybe you'll see a brush for Valentine's Day soon. :) Thanks for Playing! |
It could be valentines day body paint, or valentines outfits.. So many possibilities! Lets cross our fingers that they actually make the paint brush!
The current JJPB tokens are for sale until January 13th 11.59 pm NST at the NC Mall. The Token itself can still be used with all new JJPB games, so no worries when you still own a couple when the game retires.
