Better to not be able to complete one (I cancelled yesterday's) than to pay 60nps for this:
An electric current starts to fill the room, but quickly leads to smoke. When everything has settled, you see that there is something different about *battle pet name*. Oh, no... It looks like their level has gone down by 2!

Uuuuugh.

ETA: Today's was for 200nps:
Something floats past the windows. Running to look outside, you see a small, pretty amulet in the blackness of space.


ETA2: Cancelled today's. Asked for 2 Semolina and 2 Ptoymelons. No way.

Today's asked for pimplepepper, mummified banana, and 3 Linae stamps. I price-checked them all, and the Linae stamps are worth 8k apiece, so I canceled. Now I'm going to go sell all the Linae stamps in my SDB. Does anyone have a list of the current high-priced junk? I might as well make a profit while I can, in anticipation of TNT fixing the script so it stops asking for things over a certain price (like they did during the event).

Out the window, you see a giant Whalein floating in space. It blows bubbles at you.

Cost me 7 nps.

I only had one Linae Stamp, but I am going to sell mine as well.

I have half-heartedly looked for a list a few weeks ago, as I am pretty sure JN doesn't have one. I might check through the boards and have another look, as I really need to make some nps for training.

A little less than 3k...
Nothing happens. Nothing at all. You think. You check the bottom of your shoes for squashed butterflies, but find nothing.


Come on, really need to make up for the levels I lost recently, seriously.


Mouldy Left-Overs are actually cheap (AKA, 1np). Not sure why anyone is begging for them.

A portal opens, and through the multi-coloured swirls, you can see a plain wooden box. Before you can grab it, the portal closes.

Only cost 90 nps.

I finally got to complete another quest, and for the first time I didn't get "nothing."

An electric current starts to fill the room, but quickly leads to smoke. When everything has settled, you see that there is something different about PetName. Oh, no... It looks like their defence has gone down by 1!


I'd rather have the nothing...

P.S. I edited the list. Let me know if I need to add or correct anything.

If I were coding a pet site and already querying for a pet's name, I would also query for their gender and include a simple "if" statement to use gender-appropriate pronouns. Just saying. (And yes, I get the irony* of me using the singular "their" in this statement -- but I'm referring to a general pet that can be either gender.)

*I also get that I used the slang definition vs. the formal definition of irony, but I couldn't come up with an appropriate substitute, and this definition is common enough at this point that it will start appearing in dictionaries soon.

Yay! My first prize from the Coincidence. All items were in my SDB as well. :)

Only worth about 400 nps, but it is better than nothing.

First you see a bright flash of light. Then you see metal pieces being pulled in as if by a magnet. Slowly the pieces assemble themselves into a Cybit. Technology is neat!

Today's cost me 250 NP, and it was a big nothing.

A Grundo appears and invites you to join Dr Sloth's Invasion Army... but he cancels the invitation when you spell your name. Your reputation precedes you.

100 nps. Meh!

5k for a big nothing today.

However, regular RE:
The Shop Wizard wiggles his magical toes and suddenly your gallery has five more spaces!
That's a chunk! Like, 22k! Awesome!

I could have used that yesterday! I've gotten the shop increase a few times, which really doesn't matter either way to me, but I spent over 130k yesterday for 10 spaces in my gallery, and I have none left again... (Though that random huge NP drop did pay for a good chunk of 5 spaces. I really like some of these new REs.)

Ptolymelon today, so I had to cancel.

ETA Monday: 75 NP (but really free thanks to SDB) for nothing:

I think the gallery increase is new. I really appreciate it, especially since I'm going to tackle adding things to my gallery after I finish getting my battle pet to my goal.

330nps today for nothing. Ah well.

A fog cloud swirls past you. Was that Corbin and Kell inside? They appear to be having a tea party with a monster.
~110nps.
