'''Monster Isle''' (also known as the ''Lost Isle'' or the island of giant [[petpetpet]]s) is central to the [[Journey to the Lost Isle]] [[plot]]. It is a world that is not reachable on Neopia as of July 2009.

==Discovery==
The Isle was discovered by [[Hugo Fairweather]] when he found a diary written in a language related to Tyrannian. He decoded the text and realized that an unknown island existed on Neopia. He and six of his associates boarded the [[SS Primella]] to search for the island but a severe storm damaged the ship and left them stranded. Exploring the island, they discovered a temple containing evidence that the previous occupant was highly intelligent in scientific studies.

==The Island==
Surrounded by rocky edges and criss-crossed by rivers, the island had been untouched for such a long time that it was vastly overgrown with plants and trees. In the centre of the island is a mountain with water flowing from it resulting in a large pool at the base around which the petpetpets would congregate. Most of the exotic vegetation is highly toxic while some plants, like ''Selerium taniverens'', turned out to be extremely rare. A temple made out of a silver metal-like material is located on the northern part of the island.

==Inhabitants==
The island is inhabited by large mutated petpetpets that form a significant part of the ecosystem. Some of the inhabitants encountered by the explorers were gentle herbivores like the [[Mootix]], while others were dangerous and presumed to be carnivorous such as the [[Ravenous Monster]], [[Petpetpet Horde]] and the [[Monstrous Moach]]. The presence of a technologically complex man-made temple proved that someone other than [[Mad Tongue Murphy]] must have lived on the island at some point.

Neopia

Ogrin: Its extrasolar!!!!

[[Image:Neopia front.JPG|frame|Neopia map after the summer of 2006 change]]

{{Construction| reason=Rewrite in progress, expansion of sections with in-depth information}}

'''Neopia''' is the extrasolar planet on which [[Neopian]]s exist in the gaming website [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]]. All the events which occur on Neopets take place in and around Neopia. It is orbited by a single moon, [[Kreludor]], and a large [[Virtupets Space Station|Space Station]], both of which are also inhabited.

The phrase ''Neopia'' or ''World of Neopia'' often refers to the [[Wikipedia:Fictional universe|fictional universe]] or reality in which all the Neopian activities take place, in addition to just the planet itself.

==Worlds==
Neopia is divided into several regions called ''worlds''. A world may be notable for its environment or climate as much as its customs and rulers, with neighboring areas usually contrasting sharply in these respects. As of July 2007, there are 18 visible worlds on the marked on Neopia's map, with new worlds being discovered occasionally in relation to site events (or [[plot]]s)...

:{|style="width:50%"

*[[Altador]]
*[[Brightvale]]

*[[Haunted Woods]]
*[[Kiko Lake]]
*[[Krawk Island]]

*[[Meridell]]
*[[Mystery Island]]
*[[Neopia Central]]
*[[Roo Island]]
*[[Shenkuu]]
*[[Terror Mountain]]
*[[Tyrannia]]
*[[Virtupets Space Station]]
|}

Kreludor and Virtupets Space Station themselves, while being worlds, are not actually on the planet Neopia itself, but orbiting it. They are featured on the world map, however, and in certain events featuring Neopian worlds - such as the [[Altador Cup]].

Almost all of these lands can be explored normally through Neopets, with the exception of Lutari Island, which when visited on the Neopets website can only be faintly seen through fog. Lutari Island floats around Neopia and is always on the move, and can only be accessed by those who use the [[Neopets Mobile]] service.

There are further worlds which, while being distinct from their surroundings, are not shown on the world map because of their size or for simplicity due to their closeness to their surrounding worlds. These include:

{|
|
*[[Darigan Citadel]]
*[[Neovia]]
*[[Lost City of Geraptiku]]
|}

There are other lands which are either hidden from view, or can't be explored by normal means. As of September 2008, there are 4 of these types of worlds...

:{|
|
*[[Jelly World]]
*[[Petaria]]
*[[Scurvy Island]]
*[[Monster Isle]]
|}

==Climate==
The [http://www.neopets.com/weather.phtml climate and weather patterns] of Neopia vary from region to region and season to season. Exceptions to this rule are The Lost Desert which is always hot, Terror Mountain which is in constant winter, and the Virtupets Space Station, which has no weather because it's in space. Some climates in contrast of neighboring worlds are completely different to each other, such are Terror Mountain, constantly in winter, next to Tyrannia, which is a combination of a tropical and desert climate. The placement of such climates next to each other have been long debated, if it has been caused and maintained by [[Faerie]] magic or was simply an error in planning by [[The Neopets Team]].

==World development==
[[Image:Neopia back.JPG|frame|The "Other Side of Neopia", which has been unexplored for a very long time.]]

The development, history, and expansion of Neopia progresses slowly, with new worlds and parts of history being explored whenever a new plot is released. Much of the world is unknown to its inhabitants, especially the "Other Side of Neopia", which has remained unexplored until ''(need date)''. Because of this, even more worlds can be around Neopia, including the mysterious [[Jelly World]], which has been visited countless times by Neopians yet never officially revealed.

The technological advancement and social customs differ from every world. Despite the Virtupets Space Station having technology even greater than Earth standards, residents of Meridell are still in Medieval times, only recently discovering the invention of the aeroplane, as seen in [[Skies Over Meridell]]. The technology is expanding however, as seen in [[Tyrannia]] where they have all but accepted the use of automobiles (made of stone), using them in [[Ugga Smash]], and in the Lost Desert where tanks are being used in [[Swarm - The Bugs Strike Back]]. However, industry isn't widespread on Neopia, allowing for a low pollution rate, except in Mystery Island where visiting tourists have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=41 caused a disturbance].

Ogrin: /* Oldddddddddd Wiki */ new section

==Front Page Revised==
Front page is going under revision. it's cluttered and sloppy, and i'm going to try and fix that in the next few days. Help where you can, especially with putting character/game pages in their proper [[:Special:Categories|categories]]. Hope to have this settled soon enough...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:24, 6 Mar 2006 (CST)

:Front page is continuing to be revised. This talk page has also been cleared of old discussions...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:35, 31 Mar 2006 (CST)

Could we do something with the front page to make it look more exciting? It's looking a little empty at the moment and it's a shame it doesn't reflect the quality of articles that is now offered at the NeoDex.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:I know what you mean. Will look into the next few days and see what can be done. really should take a look at it, as i already made a promise to revise it, at least to myself that is *whaps head*...hmmm...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:22, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I think I'm going to put in a news/FAQ design similar to http://www.tmbw.net/ except with a FAQ instead of that "Getting Started" section. Just an idea for you guys. Thoughts?--[[User:Hermioneelovesron|Hermioneelovesron]] 06:12, 26 Jun 2006 (CDT)

::How about we have some sort of Frontpage Sandbox page where we can all mess around and tinker with how maybe the front page should look? '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:34, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

::Alright, I sorta took it upon myself to create that sandbox idea I had on a sub-userpage [[User:NeoEva88/frontpage|here]]. I think it looks good, of course I'd still love some suggestions though. I personally think it's kinda short, but I dunno what other content should be put on there. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 22:38, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:I like it, good work. It is a bit short, I would just put a bit of whitespace beneath it so it seems to not end so abruptly, at least in the meantime... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I Like it too. Much more appealing to the eye than what i've had on the front page. :D Shall the "blah blah blah" section be random links? Also, should it be a featured article in the box on the right? it would require to edit the main page every week, which really isn't a big deal though. just wondering what it is we want, as this does seem promising. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:We could use a Template:Featured, and copy the text into it each week... Or move it there, or something... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:05, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Yeah, a Template:Featured or some equivalent would work better. That's how the Uncyclopedia front page works. Also, the blah links were actually just space fillers because I thought there might be more Special pages or navigation pages we should link to up there, but I didn't know them. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 16:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

::I thought maybe to lengthen the front page design we could have a quote of the day section, I got the idea from Wookiepedia. Maybe there aren't too many good quotes for Neopets though, I dunno. I have a little filler box on the bottom of the page that can be used for something. Any other suggestions? '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:25, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:''Dance Party''!? I'm not quite sure how to respond to that :P! I hope it's only a temporary feature... :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah...''Dance Party''...I was bored. :S *ahem* And i've actually made it a permenant feature via [[:Template:Funfiller|template]]. I thought it would be a fun thing for the front page, as it serves two purposes: filler, and fun. will be changing every week along with the featured article...at least that's my intention. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:44, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I had an idea for a bit of filler... having a row of 100x100 px images, 'snapshots' of each world, with a link to their respective NeoDex page... One thing I think we should avoid would be a list of 'dailies' and links to them... Every fansite, guild homepage, etc etc seems to have them on their front page :P. --[[User:84.13.33.212|84.13.33.212]] 13:36, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Ohh nice idea for the front page.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:40, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Should be mentioned that the Wishing Well text in bold doesn't actually link to the featured article, it should. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 20:31, 6 Aug 2006 (CDT)'''

=="Wockypedia"?==
Whereas [[wikipedia:Wookieepedia|Wookieepedia]] is the name of the Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the Neopets Wiki to "'''Wockypedia'''"? --[[wikipedia:User:Shultz IV|Shultz IV of Wikipedia]] 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

:At the moment, '''NeoDex''' is the current name, and will stay that way for the unforseen future.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:44, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

:: Funny, I was actually thinking about that name recently - but I thinks the NeoDex has started to become a name synonymous with a Neopets Encyclopedia ;)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

::: I say it should stay NeoDex, because it's just a whole lot easier to type than Wockypedia. --[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

::I've said it before, I think, but I'm all in favour of 'In-depth Neopedia'. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::You know, I like name too - it reminds me to keep departments naming consistent - but that would mean I would have to re-name all the departments such as neopool to in-depth colours and avatar catalog to in-depth avatars arrgh @_@--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:29, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, I don't know. 'In-depth Trophy Catalogue' has a certain ring to it, I think (:P). Well, 'in-depth rainbow pool' and 'in-depth avatar guide', perhaps... Eh, maybe not :P. Those are both topics which it isn't really possible to get 'in-depth' about, is it? Were you to rename the NeoDex (in that fashion), you could always move the neopool and avatar sections down from full 'department' status to more of a sort of 'guide' level, as they are not so much as a ''collection'' of guides (as IDNQ, IDB, and, of course, the NeoDex ''are'') rather a guide in themselves (if my overworked memory serves me correctly, I believe that the avatar catalogue, at least, used to be just a page in the guides section - although I do not recall whether it was actually listed in the guide section: I remember there used to a link at the top of the PPT main page, or rather, above the news entries, not exactly the ''top'' of the page)... Although, having said that, the approach to the site designs of the neopool and avatar catalogue does have some element of a... hierarchy, if you will - their own sections - that would be difficult (although not necessarily impossible) to integrate within the main body of PPT (I suppose it would really depend on the limits of how your CMS structures the guides themselves, presuming you use a CMS rather than do all the modifications by hand - the PPT NeoDex article is blank on the issue). They could remain 'separate' from the core of PPT but just be listed in guides, I suppose. Mind you, if these sections are headed by two volunteers (other than yourself, Yukio) in much the way Jacob heads the NeoDex, they could become a bit... Miffed, at having their distinction curtailed, if you follow. Of course, another way to go about it would be to divided the departments into two sections, not necessarily a formal boundary per se, but possibly one. Or you could integrate the Neopool and Avatar Catalogue (and trophy catalogue, I suppose) into one bigger section... In-depth Collectibles, perhaps? Sorry, I appear to be blabbering o_O --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::Phew! Long paragraph, but worth of course :) Constructive ideas always appreciated of course as it only betters the site. I'll read this through closely and then see what I can implement.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:41, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Article Suggestion==
Item Registry. Y'know, a huge list of all Neopia's items sorted by type (neohome, food, faerie quests, toys, etcetera etcetera). I'd be willing to undertake the majority of it, with some help. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

:There is already an article titled [[Item]], where wiki links to each of type of item can be talked about, and there is also a [[:category:Items|category]] for items, but the NeoDex, will ''not'' be a place for listing all the items of Neopets. maybe in the future, but at this time i see no such thing. articles for items ''can'' be made, but only noteable items, as i'm sure an article titled "Bread" as in the food item bread is a waste of space. And if one really wants a list of all the items of Neopets, all they have to do is go to [[NeoItems.net]]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:54, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, okay then. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

:Perhaps a page for each of the hidden tower items? Other that that, I agree wholeheartedly with Jacob.--[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Neodex logo?==
What should we do for the Neodex logo? Is the general consensus that the Blumaroo stays? I don't happen to like the Blumaroo much, and it's not a good logo to put in other places. Just a thought. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:23, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:I think the Blumaroo writing on a paper is fine, and doesn't need to be updated. If it should recieve more negative feedback though, i'm wondering what it would be changed to. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:57, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::I'm happy for a change, if we can get in a better logo :)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:27, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:How about a Blumaroo sitting at a desk with a quill, constructed entirely of pieces of a jigsaw a la the wikipedia/uncyclopedia logos? Or virtupets space station constructed of such. It's almost spherical, so it could be identified easily with the wikipedia logo, and being spherical it would not be too difficult to create the logo to a high level of precision for it to be identifiable, and the Vitrupets space station is a recognisable icon of Neopia. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Now that is a really good idea! Anyone here do graphic artistry by any chance?--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:42, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::Yeah, I was thinking about Virtupets a bit too, something round at least. I don´t like the idea of it being made out of jigsaw pieces though, it doesn´t need to be ''that'' much like Wikipedia. I just think something round that would seem a bit suggestive would work. (The [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookiepedia] logo being an excellent example.) '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 11:49, 1 Aug 2006 (CDT)'''

I think it should be one faerie from each type... that would be cool. Who agrees? --unsigned by 71.92.99.181 03:37, 5 May 2007

:At the moment, a new logo isn't in the works, but ideas are always welcome. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:08, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

==Front Page Revamp 8/1/2007==
Can we revert to the old version while the page is being overhauled? And have possibly new versions on subpages for a later editor review? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:41, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:I don't know...I'm kind of smitten with the new look (duh, it's mine ;P ). But if there are some tidbits to go over before it goes fully up, I suppose it's fair. All the same, what do you think of what I currently set up? I took out a lot of links in the summariezed TOC, seeing as it was originally random. Where would you like the "testing zone" for the new front page look to be? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:04, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

::It's nice, yeah, although the way the featured template is much longer than its adjacent box detracts from it a bit. I just think that if we are going to overhaul the front page, the change could be a bit more drastic, hence would probably need general consensus ;¬). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:02, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==NeoDex coding updated==
It would seem the NeoDex coding has been updated...wh00t? :D Though it seems a lot of things have changed, along with some things that seem broken. It will be dealt with in due time I am sure, but for now, I'm glad to see progress is being made for this. What does everyone else think? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

:Yup, the PHP and mediawiki are now updated ^^. New wikicodes are now accessible (We can finally resize image without modifying the original image). --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 10:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::Image URLs no longer form the embedded image, though. This is going to take a lot of work to fix, as it's quite a widespread issue, but hopefully it'll pay off in the long run. It's worse on pages such as [[Altador Cup II]] where the images not being displayed in line are causing some layout issues. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:::I've enabled the upload function again which was disabled when the back-end was upgraded. Should be working again. I'll also get a graphic designer to design a new WIKI logo. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 04:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

::::Unfortunately the upload feature is still disabled at the moment. As for the embedded image, we do have a choice of [[wikipedia:Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_images|enabling it again]] if required. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:::::Thanks for the link to fixing the code. I've enabled embedding images again so that should fix up a lot of the issues right there. :) The uploading feature has also been enabled again. (Upgrading the code had some slight code changes which set a couple of things to their default values. If there is anything you guys ever want switched on/off, just leave a note here. :) --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 08:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

::::::They're working now, thank you. :) But for some strange reason, some articles still do not display the embedded images even though their history do. We'll just have to manually re-save those articles again to bring back the embedded images... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 09:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

The one thing I do miss is the necessary log in of users in order to have them even edit articles. Now we're back to the age of having IPs edit articles. What's everyone's view on this? Has it been good or bad overall? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nominating this page for protection?==
I'm not really sure how to request this or anything, so I'll just post it here and see what people think. It seems this page (Talk: Main Page) has been the target of a lot of vandalism. Maybe you guys could semi-protect it? I don't really know how it all works, so feel free to critique my idea :P
[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 21:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:Requesting such a thing can be done here on on an admins talk page. I've made the necessary protections in either case. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thank you for the quick response :) Next time, I'll be sure to do it in the right place :P Sorry for posting it in the wrong place [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 14:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==Results of Victory ==
Beating the Faeries causes Balthazar's Grove to revert to the true, rotten nature of the [[Haunted Woods]], frees the road to the [[Esophagor]], and breaks the spell the Faeries placed on [[Balthazar]].
== Battle Speeches ==
===Opening speech:===
The Faeries gaze at you as you approach. You shout, "Zhadramekel!" and the Faeries start screaming in terror, as if burned. Suddenly, they each grow to twenty times their normal size. They're now as big as you are... and they're attacking!

===Flee speech:===
The Faeries shrink back down to their normal size as you run away. "Balthazar is ours!" they scream in unison.

===Victory speech:===
The faeries shrink back to their normal size. "You were a fool to try and defeat us!"

===Defeated Speech:===
The Faeries each shrink to their normal size as they die, and suddenly their tiny bodies all vanish in an eyeblink. Balthazar shakes his head and sniffs the air, as the trees around you begin to change and wither. Within moments, Balthazar's grove has become its normal, evil self, no longer enchanted by happiness.

:''This article is about NeoQuest I. If you are looking up the sequel, see [[NeoQuest II]]''

'''NeoQuest I''' is a web based role playing game on [[Neopets]] created by [[Mr. Insane]] and released on October 15, 2001.

==Gameplay==
Users are put in the role of the [[Neoquest Hero]], who is called my the name of the users current main [[Neopet]] (allowing each Neopet to have their own game). Users control his/her quest to stem back the tide of evil in the world of [[Neopia]] 1,000 years ago.
Users are given an overhead view - the size of which varies depending on the light level: in a cave, one has a smaller view than outside - as they move about Neopia via clicking on the compass arrows provided. Each time the user moves in an area infested with monsters, there is a chance at a random fight with one of them. Should the user win, they receive experience and items (if they are allowed them). Experience is collected to gain levels, which make the user stronger and gives them a skill point to use. Level 50 is the max.

===Skills===
There are many skills a user can use to fight against monsters. They are selected with skill points (to a maximum level of 10), and once spent they cannot be taken back. A skill point in a weaker skill must be spent before it can be spent on a more powerful skill.

'''Fire Magic'''

This is the magic of violence and destruction, harnessing the powers of flame to burn your opponents down where they stand. Fire Magic focuses entirely on causing offensive damage.

*Fire Weapons - Normal attacks have an increased chance of doing a single extra fire damage attack each time you hit. A higher skill means a greater chance of gaining the extra hit, and a greater amount of damage done with the hit. If you are wielding a Fire weapon, the chance increases even more.

*Firepower - The Firepower skill causes your successful fire-based attacks to do more damage. This includes ALL fire damage attacks, such as attacks done by the Fire Weapons skill, Fire Ball, weapons with fire-based special powers, and fire-based damage shields. A higher skill means more damage.

*Fire Ball - Every several rounds, you can cast a Fire Ball instead of attacking normally. The higher your skill in Fire Ball, the more damage the Fire Ball does, and the more often you can cast it.

*Wall of Flame - Every time your opponent hits you, they take fire damage from a wall of flames. A higher skill means the wall does more damage.

'''Ice Magic'''

This is the magic of freezing and slowing, bringing the forces of frost to bear on your opponents in order to strike them and slow them down. Ice Magic focuses mostly on causing damage, with some disabling ability.

*Ice Weapons - Normal attacks have an increased chance of doing a single extra ice damage attack each time you hit. A higher skill means a greater chance of gaining the extra hit, and a greater amount of damage done with the hit. If you are wielding an Ice weapon, the chance increases even more.

*Heart of Ice - Your attacks have a chance of 'freezing' your opponent, preventing them from using their regular attack that round. Special attacks and abilities are not affected. A higher skill means a greater chance of success.

*Snowball - Every several rounds, you can cast a Snowball instead of attacking. A higher skill means that you can cast the Snowball more often, and it will do more damage.

*Glacier Strike - A Glacier Strike is a charged attack that takes three rounds to execute, but does several times normal damage! If you attack while a Glacier Strike is charging, the Strike is canceled (you can still use special abilities). A higher skill means a greater chance of hitting once the Glacier Strike goes off.

'''Shock Magic'''

This is the magic of stunning and disabling, using the power of lightning to disable and confuse your opponents. Shock Magic focuses on stunning and disabling opponents, with some defence.

*Shock Weapons - Normal attacks have an increased chance of stunning your opponent each time you hit. The stun lasts for 1 round. The higher your skill, the greater your chance of stunning your opponent. If you are wielding a Stun weapon, the chance increases even more.

*Disable - Your attacks have an increased chance of reducing your opponent's defensive ability. A higher skill means that your opponent's skill is reduced by a greater amount.

*Fortitude - You become more resistant to heat, cold, and stun. The higher your skill, the more resistance you get.

*Shockwave - Your attacks have a chance of doing a Shockwave, causing your opponent damage and stun. The higher your skill, the greater your chance to hit, the more damage the Shockwave does, and the longer the stun lasts.

'''Spectral Magic'''

This is the magic of defence and protection, increasing your ability to avoid taking damage and mitigating the damage that you do take. Spectral Magic focuses on defence, with some counterattack.

*Spectral Weapons - Your defensive ability is increased. If you are wielding a Spectral Weapon, it is increased even more.

*Evasion - You have an increased chance of evading physical attacks entirely.

*Absorption - When used, this skill causes your opponent's next successful melee attack to, instead of damaging you, heal you slightly. The higher your skill, the more damage you heal. If you do not absorb within 5 rounds of using the skill, it wears off and you will take regular damage, so keep track!

*Reflex - This causes your opponent's damage to be reflected back on them. The higher your skill, the higher your chance of success.

'''Life Magic'''

This is the magic of regrowth and healing, continuing the cycle of life as you make your way through the world. Life Magic focuses entirely on healing.

*Life Weapons - This skill causes you to have a greater chance of healing as you walk around. The higher your skill, the greater your chance to heal, and the more damage you heal. In addition, healing potions are more effective if you have this skill. If you are wielding a Life weapon, the chance increases even more.

*Field Medic - This skill gives you a chance to regenerate hit points every combat round. The higher your skill, the more points you regenerate.

*Lifesteal - Every time you hit with your regular attack, there is a chance that a fraction of the damage you do is returned to you as health. The higher your skill, the more damage is healed.

*Resurrection - When your health reaches zero, there is a chance you will be returned to life at 50% of your full health instead of dying. The higher your skill, the better the chance of being Resurrected.

===Difficuty===
NeoQuest I can be played in 3 different difficulty levels, which are unlocked upon beating progressivly harder diffuculties. ''Normal'' is the first difficulty level available, and involves the basic gameplay, which ends upon defeating [[Jahbal]]. Beating Normal difficulty unlocks ''Evil'', which gives stronger enemies and a second final boss to defeat directly after Jahbal, [[Mastermind]]. Beating Evil unlocks ''Insane'', which gives even more difficult enemies and one more extra boss upon the the second one from Evil, [[Xantan Reborn]]. If a user should die while playing Insane, they will start the game over from the very beginning, and not retain their level, skills, or items.

===Rewards===

Users are rewarded with [[Neopoint]]s during gameplay for gaining levels and defeating bosses. A total of 30,625 NP can be gained from gaining all levels, and 13,250 NP is gained from all 12 bosses in regular play. And extra 7,500 and 17,500 NP can be received from the extra bosses in Evil and Insane difficulties due to the extra bosses. A trophy is also rewarded for each difficulty defeated.

When NeoQuest I was first released, a contest was held to reward the first 5 users to defeat each difficulty. These users were rewarded special [[Battledome Equipment]] and a special second set of tropies.

Although it is not listed under the highscores, Neoquest does in fact have its own version of a highscores table. When in the game clicking on [http://www.neopets.com/games/neoquest.phtml?section=leaders Leader Boards] will take you to a list of the first people to beat NeoQuest I, the fastest wins and those with the most wins. New entries into these lists do not gain a user rewards, but it allows them to at least lay claim to a certain task.

==Plot summary==
'''The Circle Of Twelve'''

It all dates back to the old days of the Neopian Empire - once great and proud, it's cities lived prosperously.

There was magic in the land, and that is real magic - not the faerie one we have today. A group of powerful magicians, called the Circle Of Twelve was once assembled - and for a time it was good. Featuring Jahbal and Xantan, the group was set out to wreak havoc in Neopia some time later, as the group's leader, Jahbal, grew mad with power.

Xantan was exiled by the Circle Of Twelve, with most of his power stripped away. He has, since then, made a cave near Neopia City his home.

'''The Battle of Kal Panning.'''

Beeing Mad, Jahbal decided to start a war against all others. Some of Empire's cities fell... others stood up to face Jahbal. So did the city of Kal Panning, and it's leader Faelinn.

Eventually, Jahbal defeated Kal Panning's defenders, and turned the city's population into zombies. The other members of the Circle seen the error of their ways (and who they were allying themselves with), and decided to get rid of Jahbal. Jahbal, however made spyed on the Council members, and decided to flee to the Two Rings Castle.

The group of wizards decided not to hunt Jahbal down, for noone knew what arterfacts of power there were in his castle - and cast a sealing spell on the entire Two Rings Range. Nothing is supposed to make it throught that barrier - and at that, they settled.

'''Nothing. Yeah, Right!'''

Somehow, Jahbal has found a way to break through the barrier. Although he himself could never pass the barrier, his magic reached out to the outside world, and created monsters. The monsters, in turn, were ordered to hunt down The Empire's leaders - disabling the empire. Many fell, far more suffered; the seeds of destruction were sown.

Jahbal continued to create monsters... and soon the Empire collapsed. Only the most well defended cities were still standing.

Who knows, maybe, some day, a hero will slay Jahbal?

==Time restrictions==
Due to the large number of page views and popularity when the game was first available, Neopets' servers ran very slowly for some time. When it first opened, it kept bringing down the Neopets server, which were incapable of handling the game at the time. As a temporary fix, they only allowed users to play in the mornings (Eastern Standard Time), and prevented play during any other time. This ban was lifted on August 24, 2002. Since then, there have been no such restrictions and Neoquest can now be played at any given time during the day.

==Trivia==
*The [[avatar]] ''NeoQuest - Wise and Powerful'' can be gained by defeating the [[Archmagus of Roo]] and giving the ''Clouded Gem'' to [[Erick]].
*There is a section of the ''Techo Caves'' which is locked off by a door, and as of January 2007 remains unexplored. [[The Neopets Team]] hasn't given any clues how it can be explored.
