In issue 50 of the Neopian Times, my article
introduced you to some of the foreign worlds of Neopia, and their most
marvelous tourist attractions. Things have been very different since then,
as this magnificent world is constantly changing. Now, I'll tell you about
the most recent updates in the world of tourism.
Faerie City
Hey! Guess what? The Employment Agency was FINALLY opened up for everyone!
You can, at last, use those job coupons that you've been collecting for
so long, and get your pet a job! The first thing you'd say to yourself
would be "What do I do at the Employment Agency?" Easy! At first, I thought
you MUST have a job coupon in order to work, but that's not true. For
the poorer Neopians, you can do the basic jobs, which need neither experience
nor ANY job coupon. Although the rewards are not high, if you finish your
job quickly, you'll receive a bonus, and usually end up possessing more
NP than you started with. On the other hand, if you're rich and you decide
to do a super job, which DOES require a job coupon, you might want to
think about it first. The jobs are tough, and what you get returned is
not always worth what you paid. So it's a two-way thing, and you're the
one deciding what you'll do! (P.S. Remember the treasure I mentioned before
in part one? Well, it's somewhere near the Employment Agency...I think.)
Tyrannia
What on earth is the "Wheel of Mediocrity"? Well, I guess everyone thought
is it a second version of fabulous "Wheel of Excitement". It is, in a
way, but just a "depressed" or "irksome" version of it. It's just plain
mediocre, and nothing else. Pretty fun, eh? So far, I've got 20 NP (about
5 times), some Tyrannian food (twice), and once, a bite from the...the...what's
it called again? Oh, the Pterodactyl (whatever it is)! So, I suggest that
you spend 100 NP to play the incredible "Wheel of Excitement" rather than
using 50 NP to spin this useless "Wheel of Mediocrity" (I feel sorry for
the wheel-keeper). On the Tyrannian Plateau.
Tyrannian Plateau
You hear slow drippings of water, and you "Enter the Cave" (or not). A
withered, old rope hangs from the ceiling. You "Climb the rope" (or not).
You emerge into a small, dark cavern, and you "Enter the darkness" (or
maybe not). Now what? Behold, you have arrived at...THE LAIR OF THE BEAST!
A vicious, birdlike "beast" peeps out and roars ferociously at you, as
if you're unwelcome there. Apparently he does nothing other than staying
there and staring at you, and there seems to be nothing special about
this "beast", but I have a feeling...it ain't that simple!
Tyrannian Volcano
Yet again, this place is still to be investigated. It's a volcano, so
it ought to be torrid in there! I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't
want to stay there for long... I just love the fascinating foreign worlds
of Neopia! You never know when a new one will pop out! Maybe later, I'll
tell you more about these wicked discoveries, but now, that's that!
