Moltara FAQ

Note: If you find this guide useful, please neomail me (torkie10) so that I know that people are reading it and I should keep it up.


UPDATE: Nov. 14th:

  • Added a new question regarding the tabbing for the gears.
  • Made the links clickable, EXCEPT for the Gears Guide. The Gears Guide is not working for most people, something about a bandwidth problem. Sorry, but there is nothing I can do to fix that, since it isn't my guide... :(
  • Added a link for the old plots. :D For the win!

UPDATE: Nov. 16th:

  • Changed the guide with screenies for the gears to a different one. This one works.
  • Put neuralyzer's link back up.

UPDATE: Nov. 17th:

  • Added a section about the possible fourth item.

About Moltara

Q: Where is Moltara City?
A: Moltara City is visible from the Neopian globe. It is on the "other" side of the globe, between Mystery Island and Lutari Island. It can also be accessed from the third page of Part 9 of the Comic. This is the link: Moltara City

Q: What can I do there?
A: There are a few shops, a quarry, and Tangor's Workshop.

About Plots: Other Guides

Since I am not good at making guides, I have a list of other, better guides that will fit your non-Moltara Items questions needs… I hope.

About the Items

Q: What are the items in Moltara?
A: There are three items: "Shiny Obsidian", "Scrap Metal and Stone", and "Miscellaneous Gears".

Q: Where can I find these items?
A: "Shiny Obsidian" is found by clicking the purple crystalline rocks on the bottom of the map of the city.
A: "Scrap Metal and Stone" is found via a random event either on the map of Moltara City or in one of the shops there.
A: "Miscellanous Gears" are found on the map of the city, in one of eight confirmed locations so far. See the "Other Guides" section for a guide for that; it is a lot better than this one and more useful. :)

Q: Can I find these items more than once?
A: Yes, all of the items can be found at least once a day. I have heard of people getting the gears and the scrap metal more than once in the same day, even. :D The obsidian is a daily, just like the giant omlette in Tyrannia. Only you can't eat the obsidian. :3

Q: Do I need to play the games to get these items/does playing the games increase my odds/ability to get these items?
A: No. I repeat, no. Many people have gotten the items without playing the games, and many other people have played the games and still are unable to get the items.

Q: Do I need to buy the NC ticket to get access to these items?
A: No, it's just part of Moltara. :D

Q: Do I have to find the items in any specific order/do I need any of the other items in my inventory to get the item I am looking for?
A: No, you can get the items in any order, and you do not need anything in your inventory to get them.

Q: Can I use tabbing to get the gears?
A: Yes, you can use tabbing to make it easier to spot the gears IF they are there. If the gears are not present, it will only cycle over the shops, games, and quarry. Tabbing will NOT make the gears appear if they are not already present on the page.

Q: What do I do with these items/Are the items part of the Atlas of the Ancients Plot?
A: The items are NOT part of the plot. I repeat, they are NOT part of the plot! They are not needed to complete the plot, so don't worry if you can't find them. : 3 You give them to Tagnor in his workshop in Moltara City to make petpets. The combinations are as follows:

  • Scrap Metal and Stone -disallowed_word- Shiny Obsidian" = Dal.
  • Scrap Metal and Stone -disallowed_word- Miscellaneous Gears" = Ada
  • Miscellaneous Gears -disallowed_word- Shiny Obsidian" = Oop
  • Scrap Metal and Stone -disallowed_word- Miscellaneous Gears -disallowed_word- Shiny Obsidian" = Gio

Q: Can I combine the petpets?
A: Some of them, yes. The combinations are as follows:

  • Dal -disallowed_word- Oop" = Daloop
  • Gio -disallowed_word- Ada" = Adagio

Q: Does it matter which order I use to give the items to Tagnor?
A: No.

Q: If I refresh over the gears, are they gone?
A: I have heard two conflicting reports, but most evidence says that they will vanish from your page until they show up again after much refreshing.

Q: Can I sell/buy these items and the petpets made from them?
A: Yes, you can. If nothing comes up on the Shop Wizard, try the Trading Post.

WARNING: There have been reports of people trying to pawn off "Leftover Scrap Metal" and "Pile of Loose Gears" as the items required to make the petpets, and asking high prices for them. THESE ITEMS ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE "Scrap Metal and Stone" and "Miscellaneous Gears" FROM MOLTARA. DO NOT BE FOOLED! If you come across anyone performing this scam, report them, as it is against the rules!

About Unknown Items

Q: Is there a fourth item?
A: A new item, "Red Moltite", has apparently been discovered. We don't know how to get it yet.


Q: What does it do?
A: We think it is another item that is used to make petpets. Images have been found of new robotic petpets, which appears to support this theory.


Images of organic, fiery petpets have also been found. We don't know how to get those either, but they appear to relate to the plot. The current theory is that a new area is going to be released, possibly from behind the boards in the lower right corner of the Moltara City map.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE AND ITS WRITER

Q: This guide is horrible. It looks terrible.

A: Hey, I'm a writer, not a formatter! I'm not good enough at programming to make it pretty. If you have a VERY EASY way for me to make it prettier, please send me a neomail right away. :D

-*-*-

Q: I found some new information!

A: CHECK THE ENTIRE GUIDE /AND/ THE LINKED GUIDES BEFORE NEOMAILING ME. If it is something NEW, please neomail me. 8D

-*-*-

Q: I have a question about the Neopian Times!

A: Please neomail me. :D

-*-*-

Q: …That was just a lame attempt to get people to read your stories, wasn't it?

A: Okay, you got me. What can I say? ^^;

Q: Out of curiosity, what are you up to right now with your writing?

A: For the first time in years, I'm really inspired. I'm currently writing another Citadel-related story, but this time, it looks like the problem is just too much for them to deal with on their own... 8D
It's going to be a collab story. :D I'll tell you more after I finish doing the prewrite. Or, if you ask me very nicely, I might give you a hint. I can't tell you everything here, because people might steal my idea and that would make me sad. D:

Hello I am Kyrouge1234 the Shoyru. I was made as a red shoyru because torkie10 wanted a driak (she didn't know that they were so rare)and couldn't get one. I was named after the legendary pokemon of the sea, Kyogre. Once again, torkie10 messed up. She thought it was "ky-roge" instead of "ky-oger". I was born on the 20th of December, the same day that Adam has his birthday. Later, I would fulfill both my winter and water "prophecies". But before that, I learned to fly. Flying is freedom. Few know it. My owner, torkie10, taught me how to fly. I wasn't good at first, but with a LOT of practice I can now take off silently, travel long distances, and land with ease.

So what does a great Shoyru like me enjoy? I love reading, just as torkie10. I wish she would buy me lots of great books, but our money is tight. Even so, I am getting really smart. Currently my intelligence is 103 - mostly thanks to her insisting I help her with her high school homework.

I am 73918 hours old, but I still have a lot to learn. Every weekend I go to watch the Tournaments at the Neopian Battledome. There are some fantastic fights that take place, when I get older I am going to be the best fighter in the whole of Neopia. No, that is not the "custom petpage" talking, that is me. torkie10 made me thinking it would be like Pokemon. Her blaziken, Torkie, is very strong, and even though she does not say it, she wishes me to be just as strong.

During the week I usually get taken to the Training School where I learn new skills from the great Techo Master. He is so wise, torkie10 says I should really listen to the Techo Master as he can teach me everything from endurance and strength to amazing battle moves. NOT! It is so hard for us to find codestones to pay for our courses that we usually are shut out unless we have some on hand because of our "codestone debt" problem.

If you want to have a fight with me, just NeoMessage torkie10. I can't promise not to be too hard on your NeoPet because I am a very competitive pet. I also don't suggest challenging me at the moment- I am undergoing training. Even though my war stats (See Shriekofdoom1's page for mere information) are impressive to some, I will not rest with THAT.

These are my stats:

  • Level - 30
  • Strength - 50
  • Speed - 20
  • Defence - 37
  • Hit Points - 39/39

This is what I look like! I got painted Christmas on Halloween, thus giving me the need for revenge when I lose a battle, so do not be fooled. Regardless, I am mostly a historian and a writer- it is not truly in me to be a warrior.
