#9 [27 Oct /2011] | with more rating!
So today we have a new fun thing for everyone who reads
NOVA, we will rate your pets customization.
When theres a NOVA board out there you can come & get your pets rated and you also get a really spiffy trophy for your petlookup.
For more info check out the rating pets link on the right or click
here.
We also have a new staff opening for customization raters.
Go here for info on staff
Do you often have a hard time figuring out the value on your items? Or you just dont understand how the value system works?
Then you should check out this great guide!
((GUIDE))
Here you get the explanation how to value your items and also why somethings are higher valued or lower then you thought.
Haunted Hijinks or Masks of Dread
Did you regret buying all those mallets? or you still satisfied with the prizes? & when should you use the Dazzling Candy Corn Field Background?
But still everyone has to agree that a
free box is never a waste & who can say that the Spectral Pumpkin Path Background dont look good?
The Dazzling Candy Corn Field Background could always be saved for spring just add some flowers to it and you have the perfect corn field.
But then what about the Masks of Dreads prizes? The 2 of 5 that have been released so far are have been really good quality pixels.
The items are :
Lair of the Beast Background &
Zombie Mummy Wrap Dress.
Now we only have to hope for a great wig that can be used all year around and maybe another over the top face paint (lets knock skeletal facepaint down).
DONT forget you are not allowed to play Mask Quest on sides
Since they give NP items rewards to.
Like the 5 really amazing Neopoint masks.
That are also wearable by Baby, Maraquan & Mutant pets to. Which makes them the first Neopoint items wearable by these 3 colors.
So dont miss out on this great opportunity & lets hope this is just one of many NP wearables for these colors.
So hope you enjoyed reading todays post

#8 [24 Oct /2011] | Back again!
I know you have missed reading NOVA!
And Im deeply sorry for not being here updating for a while.
But a flu & real life took the best out of me for really long time.
Now I got so much to write about, like who are not crazy in love with the new Hijinks items?
Also there will be a few changes, the weekly poll will be turned of for a while due to no interest in it.
We will start a new NOVA
rating pets part with a cute trophy. (this part still in the making).
Right now is a great time for those who wanted more male looking items for there pets.
Like the 2 new superpacks, lawyer robot clothes & the very see through costume.
Even though like someone on the board pointed out. the LE cane & the hat is only recolors of already created items and a bit more originality would have been wanted.
But when it comes to originality who can complain on the new Dual personality facepaint? If thats not orignal then what is?:)
Did you know that when claiming the 3 day of Hijinks you get a very pretty free box?.
Are you 50NC short for the GB cap then maybe you should buy 1pack of hijink mallets & claim the 3 day. You wont only get the
free box but you also get the Toxic Skull Lantern so dont miss out.
Well this post was very short againg but still some reading.

#6 [10 Oct /2011] | Monday comes again
Its MONDAY! Well its been a slow weekend for
NOVA, meaning we been slow on posting here for our readers.
So heres some fun reading for you.
First off are you already planning your
GB cap sales?
Its not long before next bash of GB caps are coming out now.
Are you new to the word GB cap? Well GB caps are the short name for Mystery giftbox capsules which only comes out once a month.
Mostly at the end of the month.
The difference between a regular mystery capsule & GB caps are that in a gift box cap you are guaranteed to receive 1 gift box with every cap.
If lucky you can get 2-3 or the Limited edition which grant you 4 regular looking gift boxes & 1 special looking.
Now you might also wonder what is a GB cap sale? Well its when a person will offer there items for a lower value for a amount of gb caps.
That means that people sometimes discount there higher 5+ caps valued items for only 3-5 caps or less.
Its all different from each person how desperate they are to get giftbox caps & how hard they think its to let go of there items.
Something really common you see on the NC board at this time is the so called 1 GB cap sale.
Where people put together items that are worth 1+ caps & trade anything in that section for 1 GB cap each.
Its in the end of the month you can find the great deals on items.
New week poll! Do you dress your pets according to season?Click here to send your vote!
How to make your own Trick or treat background?
Depending on how much you got to spend in NC & NPs.
Brightvale Books Background
is the perfect background for this situation.
Here we used the Spooky string lights, but depending on what you already have you could always use any other garland or string lights try to keep it halloween or scary looking.
We tried not to over do it and used the sparkling jack-o-lantern which was a free halloween item 2 years ago.
You could also use last years JJB item Silly Faces Pumpkin Foreground it will also give a very cute look.
Well hope you enjoy your home made Trick or Treat background.
Im so sorry for this broken post:(
I had to move the pet for a little while.. She will come back to lin_cjaem in a day.

#4 [6 Oct /2011] | the union
Did you come looking for a post 5th October? Well we are sorry but due to real life issues that post was canceled.
But now is not a time to be sad, the
bride have finally arrived to the NC mall.
This new Super pack cost 450NC and is 4 parts.
For those who don't know when you buy a super pack you will not get the super pack as one item it will appear as separate items in your inventory.
But where did the groom go?
Right now theres no groom super pack so heres a suggestions of things that would make a groom.
What you need is a top hat, bow tie, shoes, trousers, jacket & shirt.
A example is the image to the left:
(He is wearing items below).
Sssidneys Collectors Top Hat (250 NC)
Zenco the Magnificent Contacts (Retired NC)
Black Satin Bow Tie (50 NC)
AAA Host Shirt and Jacket (70,000 NP)
Caroler Trousers (Retired NC)
Rugged Work Boots (150 NC)
But dont forget to check if your pet specie have special tuxedo or top hat.
Theres also lots of non specie NP wearables that works great for the groom.
Heres a great page to find names of NP wearables.
The Closet.
Did you also notice the new background
Moonlit Ruins Background & the new Limited item from Deathly Union Costume Pack (Deathly Union Fence) is a perfect match.
NOX Free Keys.
Did you claim your
free key in the mall? What did you get?
Currently aviable from nox are 3 zones Dress, wig & earrings.
In 4 colors white, purple, orange & green.
The names are * Flower Embroidery Dress, Pretty * Filigree Mask, Side Ponytail * Wig.
Change the * into the color you where thinking of.

#2 [3 Oct /2011] | value me
Todays post is about something thats been on my mind, the value guides.
This is a very daily used word on the NC board, every day people are using the
value guides to decide there trades.
Value guides are a great support for new people on the
NC boards, they give a sense of direction & the basic about values. But they are also easy miss used, common example when more then one guide exist.
2 players are going to trade player A knows 2 guides & quotes the values with the more favorable value for there own items & quote the one with less value for the other to get more out off the trade.
Thats why its very recommended to make
fair trade boards or get more peoples personal opinions when insecure on a trade. Another thing about value guides they are often the value of one persons thoughts and opinion.
Even though the one owning the guide regularly update the guide, its not for sure that all values will be accurate with what the item actually is trading for. (When guide owners gather opinions its not guaranteed they will get all needed info on the item).
Then theres also
common sense my buyable 150NC item might not be up for trading for your very old item that I had to trade lots to get.
Tip: Items that are LE & very sought after when in the mall will more likely stay popular & go up in value,
then items that been buyable very long or are newly retired(non LE).
Did you know that the
Itchi Antenne (NP) item can be worn with wigs on kacheeks!
The same with Spring Circlet (NC) for Usuls.
Do you know of any other weird zoning items for other species?
Then send me a comment about it.
Are you good with NP customizing? Maybe you like to write something for this blog?
Then have a look at our staff page. Thanks for reading today

#1 [2 Oct /2011] | Gothic Mania
First I like to say thank you for reading & hope you will enjoy this blog.
gothic mania what Im pointing at is the frenzy on the NC mall boards about the new gothic wonderclaw machine
(not pointing at anyone particular Im no better myself).
But TnT really did greatness with this new gothic theme. Even though the items are pretty it also
easy to overdo the use of the new items when dressing your pets. Since the release I come across lots of pets only dressing in new items who looks cluttered & are very hard to focus on.
But still there are exceptions. Like
Roo (to the right) she have a very busy background but still she's not to cluttered with extra trinkets. Over all a very good use of the new items (hover for the list of items used).
Keep it simple on busy backgrounds!
The thoughts of
Skelly fp VS Gothic makeup.
I would like to call the Gothic Inspired makeup for a girly version of Skeletal face paint.
Its already very sought after & when retired the value might inflate.
You can always wonder if the inflation of Skelly will stop now when this new makeup came into the mall.
| Skeletal Face paint |
VS |
Gothic Inspired Makeup |

Halloween theme
Both girl & boy pets
Black around eyes
