In '''2010''', Kari held the first '''[[Festival of Neggs]]''' beginning on 15 March and ending on 12 April. It superseded [[Rosie]] the [[Grarrl]]'s [[Springtime Celebration]] held in 2009. | |||
Kari held a [[Negg]] hunt, giving players riddles that led them to four plastic Neggs, hidden in different worlds, and exclusive prizes. This type of activity would return in the future Festivals of Neggs. She also sent players around [[Neopia]] on four other errands to help her while she hosted the Festival. | |||
Additionally, players could visit the Festival every day for a [[Negg]]-themed prize, and while the Festival was held, players were allowed to submit five scores each day for certain games, including [[Meerca Chase II]], [[Turmac Roll]], [[Ultimate Bullseye]], and [[Wingoball]]. The [[NC Mall]] celebrated with the Neggstravaganza event. | |||

Kari sent the player on four quests. For the first quest, beginning on 18 March, Kari sent the player to collect ingredients for her Speckled Negg Stew. Kari didn't actually tell the player what ingredients she needed, just hinted that one of them was a fruit they could find in [[Brightvale]]. The dialogue with each character the player encountered along the way gave them hints as to what the next ingredient they needed to find was. | |||
Kari | Next, starting on the 25 March, Kari asked the player to find a [[Petpet]] for her. She didn't know exactly what sort of Petpet she wanted, but knew it had to be agile, not messy, and useful after dark. The [[Spooky Petpets]] shopkeeper recommended a Glowing Slymook, and the player had to chase one across the [[Haunted Woods]] and [[Deserted Fairground]] before discovering that the Slymook had made its way to Kari of its own accord. | ||
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0 auto;text-align:center;" | Starting on 2 April, Kari asked the player to get a cupcake recipe off of the [[Tooth Faerie]]. The Tooth Faerie had a busy itinerary that took her all over [[Neopia]], and the player had to follow after her, finding hints as to where she went next, until they eventually caught up with her. She had been stuck in the [[Scourge of the Lab Jellies]] laboratory. | ||
Kari wanted to go on holiday after the festival was finished, but didn't have the time to find somewhere to go. She sent the player on this task instead. They scouted out several locations, including [[Tyrannia]] and [[Mystery Island]], before discovering a secret entrance in [[Coltzan's Shrine]] that led to a mystical and beautiful oasis. | |||
The dialogue and complete steps to each quest are shown below. | |||

|The [[Tooth Faerie]] stopped by my booth yesterday, and we were exchanging recipes. I had just given her the recipe for my Speckled Negg Stew when we were rudely interrupted. She left without giving me her recipe, and I would very much like to make a batch of her Tooth Faerie Cupcakes, only now I don't have time to track her down. Would you go fetch the recipe for me? | |||
The Tooth Faerie was going on about all of the places that she had to visit after leaving the Festival, but I was so busy thinking about everything that I had to do, I tuned her out. I seem to remember her saying something about having to go to a place where she could see underwater but not have to go underwater, or something along those lines. Anyway, that's all I remember. Come back when you have the recipe! | |||
|Visit the Glass Bottom Boat Tours at [[Kiko Lake]], and click on the [[wikipedia:lifebuoy|lifebuoy]] ring added to one of the pictures. | |||

|Hi there! Warm day, huh? If you're looking for the Tooth Faerie, she was here earlier. Check out these pearly whites! *wink* As for where she was heading next... gee, I can't remember what she said now. Our conversation was kind of confusing; it seemed as though we were talking in circles. We just kept going 'round and 'round... it felt like we said the same thing four times. Anywho. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Here, take this toy; it will give you something to play with as you search for her. Good luck! | |||
|Go on four [[Roo Island]] [[Roo Island Merry Go Round|Merry Go Round]] rides. Each of the player's Neopets needs to ride at least once. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 blumaroo.jpg|Merry Go Round Blumaroo]]<br>'''Merry Go Round Blumaroo''' | |||
|My goodness! You must really love the Merry Go Round! I've never seen such happy Neopets. Since you are one of my best customers, I think you deserve a special reward. Oh, you're looking for the Tooth Faerie? Well, after she gave me a brand-new toothbrush, she hurried off to find an expert on shells. She said she had discovered a strange new one and wanted to find out more about it. To be honest, it all sounded a bit wobbly to me. | |||
|Visit [[Collectible Sea Shells]] with at least one shell in the [[Stamp Album]] and a jelly item in the inventory. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 sea shells.jpg|Collectible Sea Shells Shopkeeper]]<br>'''Collectible Sea Shells Shopkeeper''' | |||
|Oh no, not you too! Oh wait. I saw your sea shell and jelly collections and thought you had another so-called Jelly Shell like the one that the Tooth Faerie brought me! She left it here for me to investigate its origins, but frankly, I can't figure it out. Here, take it. Maybe you can figure out what it actually is. Be sure to put it in a very safe place; otherwise, you never know what could happen to it... | |||
|Click on the link, "Jelly Shell has been added to your Inventory...?" | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 petpets.jpg|Swarm of Petpets]]<br>'''Swarm of Pepets''' | |||
|You try to put the Jelly Shell in your Safety Deposit Box for safe-keeping, but a swarm of Petpets appears out of nowhere, grabs the Jelly Shell, and stampedes off in a cloud of green dust. Just what has the Tooth Faerie gotten you into?!? Maybe you had better visit the source of this mystery! | |||
|Click the cloud of green dust at the [[Green Jelly]] in [[Jelly World]]. | |||
The player then has to navigate a jelly maze with the Neopet to find the Petpets. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 petpets2.jpg|Swarm of Petpets]]<br>'''Swarm of Petpets''' | |||
|You see the Petpets scampering off and find the Jelly Shell on the ground, a little worse for wear. It looks like it was trampled during all of the running around. Perhaps someone around here knows what's going on? | |||
|Buy an ''Edible Guide to Jelly World'' from [[Jelly Foods]]. | |||

|Whoa, whoa, you've got to get out of here! There's no time for shopping. Sure, I've seen a faerie around here, but never mind that now! THE JELLIES ARE COMING!!! RUN!!! | |||

|It's a good thing you showed up! If you hadn't defeated all of those Lab Jellies, I'd still be stuck in that laboratory. Let me give you some advice: Never offer to clean the teeth of anyone working in a Jelly Lab who can't control his experiments. Now, why were you after me again? Oh, of course, the cupcake recipe! Here, let me write it down for you so you can take it back to Kari. Pardon me, but now I must get back to work! | |||
|Return to the Festival of Neggs. | |||

|There you are! Please tell me you found the Tooth Faerie. You did? Good, now I can finally make those cupcakes. Where did you finally manage to track her down, by the way? Jelly World? No really, where? Fine, you don't have to tell me. Anyway, here is your reward, as promised. | |||

|I'd really like to go on holiday after the Festival has ended, though even that is unlikely with how busy I am. I definitely won't be able to get away to do any of the scouting. Would you check out a few Neopian destinations in case I can get away for a quick trip? Also, make sure you bring me things to let me know why I should choose that location. | |||
Let's see... considering how busy I've been at the Festival, maybe it would be a nice change of pace to visit a place that is less populated, archaic even. I am also quite passionate about landscape painting. Perhaps there is a place that I can visit that will give me a little time away as well as let me enjoy some beautiful scenery. As for the rest of my possible destinations, I'm sure you can come up with a few good ideas... | |||
|Inspect the colouring pages at the [[Tyrannia]]n Cave Paintings. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 poogle.jpg|Tyrannian Poogle]]<br>'''Tyrannian Poogle''' | |||
|That's quite a painting you've got there... it's for Kari, you say? I had no idea she was a patron of the arts. I have heard, however, that she's a rather sporty type. And what better place to enjoy a nice sporting event than on the beaches of Neopia. Just keep an eye out for those Turdles. Don't worry about the paintingI'll see to it that it's delivered. As for you, here's a souvenir to remind you of your time here during the remainder of your voyage! | |||
|Score at least 250 points in [[Mynci Beach Volleyball]]. | |||

|[[Image:Fon 2010 mynci.jpg|Mynci Volleyballer]]<br>'''Mynci Volleyballer''' | |||
|Whew! After a match like that last one, I sure could use something to eat. Care for a bite? I've got an extra Zeenana in my bag; you're welcome to it. I see not a fan, eh? Maybe you will enjoy some cheesy crackers instead. This Island food's okay, but it's nothing compared to the sweet ambrosia of my favourite land... oh well, even if the food's not so great here, the lovely views Mystery Island has to offer are certainly a selling point! | |||
|Buy ''Altadorian Ambrosia'' from [[Exquisite Ambrosia]]. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 ambrosia.jpg|Exquisite Ambrosia shopkeeper]]<br>'''Exquisite Ambrosia shopkeeper''' | |||
|Ahh, I see you've discovered the greatest dish that Altador has to offer. 'Tis truly a delight for the taste budsalthough, if I may be so frank, it does tend to grow tiresome after a few *burp* dozen servings too many. I've found, however, that after three servings of chocolate ice cream, I've usually forgotten all about the taste of Altadorian Ambrosia... | |||
|Send three scores from [[Ice Cream Machine]], having reached the chocolate ice-cream level each time. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 adee.jpg|Adee]]<br>'''Adee''' | |||
|As you might have imagined, I just absolutely love ice cream! To be honest with you, though, whenever I think about being trapped in that factory, it definitely makes me wish for a change of scenery... | |||
|Visit [[Mystical Surroundings]] while the player's active pet is modelling a Mystical Surroundings background. | |||
|- | |||

|Picking up a souvenir to remind you of your time in Qasala, eh? Beats living with this sweltering heat every day, that's for sure. There's one good thing about the weather here, though-getting a nice tan isn't too difficult. Laying out, however, can be awfully dull unless you've got something to keep you entertained... | |||
|Try to buy ''Things To Do in Sakhmet'' from [[Sutek's Scrolls]]. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 sutek's scrolls.jpg|Sutek's Scrolls shopkeeper]]<br>'''Sutek's Scrolls shopkeeper''' | |||
|That book is wonderful if you are planning a holiday in Sakhmet! Kari will definitely want to pay us a visit. Hey, wait! This just fell out of the book. Hmm... that's most unusual. This isn't something that I would ordinarily sell in my shop. It appears to be some sort of key; I wonder what it's supposed to open? Most unusual indeed... | |||
|''Examine key'' from the player's inventory. | |||
|- | |||
| | |||
|Upon closer examination, you notice some very faint and worn symbols on the key that look familiar. Perhaps you should explore Neopia's lands to figure out what this key might unlock? | |||
|Click the engravings on [[Coltzan's Shrine]] in a certain order until, | |||
"A hidden door opens in the side of the shrine! Where could it lead?" | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 coltzan.jpg|King Coltzan's Ghost]]<br>'''King [[Coltzan]]'s Ghost''' | |||
|You have found the long-lost King's Key and discovered a place traversed by few. Choose your path wisely, brave Neopet. One wrong move and you could be banished to the beginning. Find the correct path, and you will enter a place that is known only by the most enlightened. | |||
|Navigate the maze of tunnels correctly. Taking the wrong passage will send the player back one junction. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 coltzan.jpg|King Coltzan's Ghost]]<br>'''King Coltzan's Ghost''' | |||
|Congratulations! You have discovered a mystical desert oasis hidden deep within Neopia. This will surely be the ideal destination for Kari's much deserved holiday. Please inform her of its beauty and tranquillity. You have done well. Your efforts will most certainly not go unrewarded. | |||
|Return to the Festival. | |||
|- | |||
|[[Image:Fon 2010 kari.png|Kari]]<br>'''Kari''' | |||
|My, you have been on quite an adventure. It sounds like all of those other locations pale in comparison to this mystical desert oasis! Thank you! That is one less thing that I will have to think about myself. Before I forget, here is a reward for your efforts... | |||

In addition to one of these daily prizes, there was a chance that players would find a Springtime Gift at the Festival - a Red Negg Plushie from 21 March, a Pink Symol from 28 March, or a random [[paint brush]] or Petpet paint brush from 4 April. | |||
==Neocash activities== | |||
In the Neggstravaganza Surprise event, players could find 20 Neggs hidden around a meadow in the NC Mall. Each one was numbered one to twenty. Every day between 11 April and 30 April, one of the numbered Neggs could be redeemed for an exclusive Neocash prize. | |||
To collect the Neggs, players had to buy Neggstravangaza baskets. Each one allowed the player to collect one Negg. Each one could be bought for 200 NC, or in packs of 5 for 500 NC, 10 for 900 NC, or 20 for 1,700 NC. | |||
==Bug== | |||
The Edible Guide to Jelly World was initially not awarded by the 2 April quest. This was fixed, and players who did not receive it during the quest were given one afterwards, along with a Neomail explaining what had happened. | |||
