Another round of NQII:

You happen across a mystical codestone and promptly pick it up. Time for training!

A freshly-painted swamp gas Techo walks by. Ewww!

Bank error in your favour. Collect 476 NP.

[pet name] says, "Mmmmmm I love Neopoints, I want to be the richest pet in Neopia!"

The Monocerous roars, "Once I ate 16 JubJubs in a week!"

~~~

Still on day 2 of the Coincidence quest, but I will not pay the wanted price of items. Waiting (im)patiently for the reject button.

[Pickles]

250nps for another nothing today.

Got 2400ish from a bank error RE yesterday.

[Siniri]

I'm still waiting for some of the awesome new REs. I'd love the 10% Haunted Tower one; I think I'd splurge on the Richest avatar if I got it.

And I'm still waiting for the "cancel" button (or for me to be ready to zap my battle pet again) before I do the "daily." I think the most I'd be willing to spend on it right now is about 1k total. Yellow growth prices need to fall a lot more.

ETA: Just got a landfish from fishing. It's down to about 15k, as is the yellow growth. Still about 20 times what I'm willing to pay, but at least prices are finally falling. I'm still selling while the selling's good.

[Pickles]

50nps for this today:

The ray fizzles for a moment before you hear a strange pop. Your pockets feel lighter. Well, looks like you lost 330 NP!

Yeah, prices are coming down, and anytime I pick up anything that is worth selling, I definitely do. Mr P is stuck on one asking for 3 Dried Apricots, but the one before that, he picked up a P3!

[Daze]

Final round of NQII:

An Alien Aisha approaches and hands you Cheese Covered Caramel Apple. Gross.

The Black Pteri sits on a nearby fence post howling doom and misery for all to hear…

The Lava Ghoul floats up to you and looks at you menacingly! You were lucky this time...

A passing zombie runs into you and doesn't even seem to notice. Once she's gone you realise she dropped a piece of a long lost treasure map!

An Alien Aisha approaches and hands you Chewed Gum Ice Cream Cone. Gross.

Ohhh, how cute. It seems one of your Petpets has got a Petpetpet in it's mouth. Wait a minute, that's just a leg!

The Black Pteri sits on a nearby fence post howling doom and misery for all to hear…

A robot Tuskaninny flies past you on fire! Help! Help! Dr. Sloth is after me!

Oh, look! Jhudora appears and hands you a gift. That was ni- wait... Jhudora!? A gift?! Umm... are you sure you should have taken it?
Poison Tipped Dagger

~~~
[pet name] loses 2 strength and says: It's been so long since I trained I feel a bit weak. Can I do some strength training?

Grrr....what a horrible RE!! And quite ironic to get that RE while I was at the training school putting pet in a new course.

Quite a haul of REs for a couple of hours clicking! LOL

~~~

I just started Neoquest I, for awhile the REs were coming quite fast.


Ohhh, how cute. It seems one of your Petpets has got a Petpetpet in it's mouth. Wait a minute, that's just a leg!

[pet name] says, "Protect me from the evil Swamp Ghoul, please!"

You spot Balthazar making a mad dash away from some pursuing faeries. In his haste, he drops Weak Bottled Earth Faerie and you pick it up. Now... what do do with it?

A Gnorbu wanders past you. Suddenly, your feet feel cold. How odd.

The Spider Grundo drops down from a nearby tree and stares at you...

Lawyerbot says, "Ahh, there you are!" and tries to serve you with a subpoena. You quickly dash away... whew, that was close!

A ghost grins evilly and steals 205 NP from you...
Exactly the amount I had left after putting pet in training - wonders if I had thousands of nps out, it would have taken that??

While out for a stroll, [pet name] looks down and finds 26,431 NP on the ground. Today looks like a lucky day!
Nice!!

[Pickles]

About 300nps...another nada.

A fog cloud swirls past you. Was that Corbin and Kell inside? They appear to be having a tea party with a monster.

Picked up a random gross food from the Alien Aishas though, as a standard RE.

ETA: Another nada for 580nps.

[Daze]

Another round of Neoquest. I really wish Alien Aisha's gave out Nerkmids more often than the gross food! LOL

An Alien Aisha approaches and hands you Toe Nail Soup. Gross.

The Black Pteri sits on a nearby fence post howling doom and misery for all to hear…

While out for a stroll, [pet name] looks down and finds 19,191 NP on the ground. Today looks like a lucky day!
Woohoo! 2nd day in a row for finding some nice nps.

Bank error in your favour. Collect 942 NP.

A passing zombie runs into you and doesn't even seem to notice. Once she's gone you realise she dropped a piece of a long lost treasure map!

Bank error in your favour. Collect 579 NP.


Not been paying your bills, eh? The ANGRY Tax Beast arrives and takes 25% of your Neopoints away... because he is ANGRY.
Win some, lose some!! Lost 6460 nps.

WE NOW HAVE A CANCEL BUTTON!!!

There seems to be no timeout or other punishement for starting over.

News Flash!!
You can now cancel your quests!

[Daze]

LOL....I had a phone call while I was half way through posting the news!!

Ok, I cancelled the original quest and I could take another one, BUT I cancelled that quest and you get timed out until the next day. (I have a 4 hour wait).

[Siniri]

Yay, thanks for the info, Pickles! That should make prices plummet to a reasonable level. I didn't have to wait for my new quest.

My new quest:
Blue Moon Petpet Bed x2
Fantastic Faellies x1
Pimplepepper x3 (the one I'm least likely to have 3 of, of course...)

*checks SDB*
22 20 beds
5 2 peppers
44 43 Faellies

A parade of dozens of Lutaris marches through the spaceship. They get to the end of their song, then look around, confused. 'Eh, how do we get to Shenkuu?' one asks you.

I have an approximately 4 hour wait for my next quest (i.e., tomorrow NST).

[Chivewarrior]

YES! A CANCEL BUTTON!

This allows me to cancel the would-have-been-a-hundred-thousand-neopoints quest and get one that was in the much more reasonable range of under 300 or so, although only one of the items was something I already had. Which is good, since the resulting random event was "Nothing happens. Nothing at all."

Hopefully knowing that we're not trapped will force people to stop overcharging...

[Pickles]

Eesh, the ghosts have gotten greedier. They just stole 799nps from me!

1200nps for this:

The Ghost Lupe appears, looks around, and growls, 'This is not Mystery Island!'

Ah well.

[Blue]

Eesh, the ghosts have gotten greedier. They just stole 799nps from me!

1200nps for this:

The Ghost Lupe appears, looks around, and growls, 'This is not Mystery Island!'

Ah well.

Yeah, they took a bunch from me the other day.

1200 NP to see a glimpse of the mighty Ghost Lupe sounds like a bargain

[Siniri]

Had to cancel today's quest because it asked for boxes of wheat flakes, which were still going for over 25k apiece. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

[Daze]

Another plethora of REs from Neoquest:

The Ghost Lupe growls "BEWARE!!!"

The Black Pteri sits on a nearby fence post howling doom and misery for all to hear…

"Don't let the shore be forgotten!" The strange Krawk then hands you a Forgotten Shore Map Piece.
While out for a stroll, [pet name] looks down and finds 5,223 NP on the ground. Today looks like a lucky day!

Bank error in your favour. Collect 1,089 NP.

The Spider Grundo spins his web nearby... Best to move on, you wouldn't want to get caught in that.

The Swamp Ghoul appears beside you and says, "You're never safe... not from the Swamp Ghoul!"

A green scorchio walks past and says, "I hope you are having fun!"

My new Coincidence quest was just as expensive as the old one, so I cancelled it and waiting for the new day.

~~~~
2nd ever Coincidence quest and I get:

Nothing happens. Nothing at all. You think. You check the bottom of your shoes for squashed butterflies, but find nothing.


Cost 200 nps. Better than losing stats, but only just!
