Pick Your Own

What is Pick Your Own?
Pick Your Own is located outside of Meridell on Meri Acres Farm. Once you pay 400 NP to enter, you'll be able to visit up to 20 acres and pick up to 6 items and place them in your basket. One "acre" in Pick Your Own is equal to one image. Everytime you go to an acre you use one "move". After using either 20 moves or collecting 6 items, you'll have to leave. This daily can only be played once a day.

When you want to search for a berry, simply click a spot on the map!   Aye, Welcome to Meri Acres   This is what we call 'Pick Your Own'. 400 Neopoints gets you your punnet, and it can hold up to 6 berries. Go around my farm using the red arrows. When you want to search for berries, simply click on the map and see what you find. Oh, there is a time limit too... once you have visited 20 areas of the farm, I'm afraid it's time to come back and let somebody else have a go! See what great berries you can find! (you can play once per day)

How To Play
The first step to play Pick Your Own is to click on the "Click to Play" button. Once you click it you'll be taken to a random acre on your map. You'll see the image of your map, arrows around the image, a button, and your basket. In Pick Your Own you can only collect 6 berries, or allowed to use 20 moves per game, one game per day. It isn't necassary to use all 20 moves, but if you're ever in the mood to explore the rest of the farm, you'll have plenty of moves to do so.

The Map
In Pick Your Own, the map has a 3x3 setup, but only has six different images. Every person has a different Pick Your Own map. This means you'll have some areas with duplicate images. Although your map might be different than the one below, here is an example of what the Pick Your Own map looks like:
 


Next you could either click anywhere on the image to pick up a berry, or click on an arrow to bring you to another acre. If you click on the image you'll be shown what berry you found and it will be placed into your basket. You can only receive one berry at a particular acre each day/game.

3 Leaf Clover

4 Leaf Clover

12 Leaf Clover

Although Pick Your Own may seem boring, or like a waste of Neopoints, you can actually make a lot of Neopoints from Pick Your Own. If you're very lucky you might come across a very rare berry worth a ton of Neopoints!
 


Finding Non-Berry Items
Unfortunately, while searching for berries, you may come across items such as a Pile of Dung, or an Old Boot and place it in your basket.

Since obtaining an item like that reduces the amount of berries you'll collect, you can always discard any non-berry item at any time.

Removing Items
While searching through different acres you may come across an item you don't like, want, already have a double etc., and want to remove it. You can simply do this by clicking on the item...
