Your Goal with NP-Unbuyables-Are they Worth It?

by pokedoughey

Dear Readers, this is my second article to the Neopian Times. I will help you decide if your goal from all that hard work of obtaining your NP is worth it.

Now, my goal is to get a Tornado Ring from the Hidden Tower. I based my goal by 3 things. Displayed factor, Opinions from people who actually have the item, and the expense. Well, it's a Battledome item from the Hidden Tower, there's the displayed factor. It is said Hidden Tower items are the most powerful of all. Now from the people who have one, a person told me this thing can do 20-100 damage. Now that's what I call a weapon! Now the expense, this thing is worth 2,750,000 NP! The Tornado Ring has to be good!

However, there can be mistakes too. My friend (which will remain unlisted) has a Rod of Nova. The expense, hmmm, the second most expensive item in Neopia! The displayed factor, Hidden Tower item which means it has to be good. BUT, the opinion from the buyer says this thing can ONLY do 3 damage per turn and create 3 Novas a turn. The Novas do 3-10 damage each. The good side is that Rod of Nova is a big healer. It can heal your pet up to 60 HP! Bad, attacker, big healer. Tornado Ring can top that!

Most people are aiming their money for the unbuyables such as Fish Negg, and Archery Set etc. The cheap kinds of unbuyables. Let's take the Fish Negg for a sample and check it out.

Fish Negg. The displayed factor is it MAY hatch into something one day. Maybe that's why it's so expensive? The expense, people want over 100,000 for the Fish Negg. It is worth 50 Negg points. It makes a nice addition to a gallery and maybe worth more when it does hatch...maybe. Now did you pick up something? 50 NEGG POINTS! It makes the Snegg look like the King of England! But maybe it may hatch and the item may be worth tons by then! The Fish Negg is truly confusing whether you want to buy it or leave it. I'd personally leave it. The 50 Negg Points gives me a big hint on this "Unbuyable". Save your hard work for something else like a Hidden Tower item. I recommend Dung Catapult for the cheapest and effective Hidden Tower item.

So remember, all of you people trying to save NP to make your bank account grow, remember that NP is for spending, not safekeeping. Spend your hard work on something you like, but that something you like might be a rip-off, so consider the following, displayed factor, opinions from other buyers, and the expense. If one of those backfires, the item is obviously not worth it. If you need help deciding your goal, Neomail pokedoughey. Util then, keep up the great work!
