The Faerieland Employment Agency: How Do You Know When a Good Deal Turns Bad?

by maddrummer9

The Faerieland Employment Agency, for those of you who don’t know, is located inside the city in Faerieland. Here, your NeoPet can apply for a job, and when completed, he will get paid for it. However, not all of the jobs come with a profit.

There are two types of jobs, basic and super. Basic Jobs can be done by anyone who comes to the Employment Agency. Super Jobs require that you have a job coupon. If you do not already have a job coupon, you can find one in people’s shops. When buying a job coupon in a shop, however, you need to think about how much you will make off of the coupon. I have gone through the list of Super Jobs, and figured approximately how much each job coupon would be worth. I based these calculations on the base profit for the job(s). That does not include the extra amount of NP you get for a time bonus.

-Green Job Coupon: 3,000 NP
-Blue Job Coupon: 4,000 NP by itself; 7,000 NP when used until it disappears
-Red Job Coupon: 9,000 NP by itself; 16,000 NP when used until it disappears
-Silver Job Coupon: 28,000 NP by itself; 44,000 NP when used until it disappears
-Gold Job Coupon: 50,000 NP by itself; 94,000 NP when used until it disappears
-Purple Job Coupon: 70,000 NP by itself; 164,000 NP when used until it disappears
-Pink Job Coupon: I could not find any Super Jobs that require a Pink Job Coupon

I found that almost all of the Super Jobs are a good deal. You will end up making more NP off of the job than you spent buying the items. One day, I went in with a silver job coupon and 10,000 NP. I came out (I had used up my job coupon) with 82,000! However, the same is not true about Basic Jobs. While looking at the Basic Jobs, I noticed that most are a rip-off. You can always try your luck at scoring so many points on a game, but that is about the most I would do (if you want to make NP, not lose it). A good way to check the job is to go over to the search bar on the side, and type in the name of the item. When the item description comes up, it will have the approximate value. Then see how many you need to complete the job, and multiply the approx. value by that number. Compare that with the base profit. Do you still want to do the job?
