Answers to Common Questions

This page lists answers to common Neopets questions. This page has two purposes--to answer the questions and to provide an easy copy-and-paste format.

All answers fit in a Board post. Also, the period at the end of a final link is there so that your siggy will still show up.

Feel free to use these to answer questions. You don't need to ask my permission.

Brain Tree

To answer the Brain Tree, you MUST do 2 Esophagor quests in the Haunted Woods. It's the *only* way; the answers are random AND the game is rigged.

http://www.neopets.com/halloween/esophagor.phtml

You can use the Shop Wizard for the items. There is no penalty for not finishing the Quest, if the items are too expensive (2,000 NPs limit combined).

Timed Quests

You can use the Shop Wizard on all Timed Quests:
http://www.neopets.com/market.phtml?type=wizard

Remember to copy the exact name and use the "identical to my phrase" option.

Rainbow Fountain

The Rainbow Fountain in Faerieland only works after you finish a Quest for the Fountain Faerie. She gives Quests in random events, just like the other faeries. After you finish her quest, she lets you paint your active pet almost any color.

Fountain Faerie colors

The Fountain Faerie lets you paint your active pet any color EXCEPT Royal, MSP, Robot, Ice, Sponge, and Usuki/Quiguki.

Overpriced Shops as Quests Help

WARNING to all Questers!!!

Some people will claim to have your item in their Shop or will say they'll put it in their Shop or Trades. BE AWARE that many of the people are overcharging you--you can get the item much cheaper!

Ask for a comparative Shop Wizard lookup--the Helpers will be glad to do it. We'll even compete with each other to find the cheapest price :P

Sick Pets

The Healing Springs in Faerieland is free:
http://www.neopets.com/faerieland/springs.phtml
Go every 30 minutes until she heals your pet.

Pets never get sicker or die.

Training

You can train a pet at the
Mystery Island Academy or the Krawk Island Academy.

For the Mystery Island Academy,
you need codestones and you cannot withdraw.
You MUST give the Master the exact codestone he wants.

For the Krawk Island Academy,
you need dubloons and you can withdraw.
You MUST give the Captain the exact duboon he wants.

Increasing Max HP

To increase the max HP of your pet,
train in Endurance.

You can also finish random Dark Faerie quests
or, sometimes, Kitchen Quests.

Leveling up Petpets

Petpets can be leveled up in the Petpet Arena in Meridell:
http://www.neopets.com/games/petpet_battle/index.phtml
or by Turmaculus: http://www.neopets.com/medieval/turmaculus.phtml
He can only be woken up one time per day.
http://www.neopets.com/~picovamde
lists the times.

The Petpet Lab Ray can also level them up.

Attaching Petpetpets

Be sure the pet with the petpet that you want
the petpetpet to attach to is your active pet.
Put the petpetpet in your inventory.
Refresh your inventory until the petpetpet attaches.
This might take a long time.

Finding the Lab

Petpet Lab Ray

To use the Petpet Lab Ray, you first need all 9 pieces of
the ***Secret Laboratory Map***

The "Petpet" link will only appear once you've turned in the Secret Lab Map.

Expensive Kadoatery Foods
