What are the ways to get limited edition pets?
Answer: You can get LE pets by their pet days if TNT releases them, through the pound if your lucky, morphing potions, or the lab ray.
How do I create a draik or a krawk?
Answer: You can only get a draik through morphing potions or hatching one from a draik egg. For krawks you need either a morphing potion or get a krawk petpet (Tyrannian petpet store) and take it the fungus cave to feed it some fungus. [Make sure you have only three pets and have the krawk petpet equipped to one of your other pets before going to the fungus cave].

Why can't I get a krawk or a draik through create a pet option?
Answer: Since pet krawks and draiks are considered restricted, they could only be obtain through a special method [see above question].
Could I choose the gender when creating a krawk or a draik?
Answer: No, the gender is randomly chosen when you create a krawk or a draik.

Answer: You can only obtain a MSP poogle via the lab ray only. You must first have an actual poogle before the lab ray can zap into that color.

If I obtain a pea chia pop, can I use it on any pet so that I can change the pet into a pea chia?
Answer: No, when using any chia pop you must use it on a chia, otherwise it would be a waste of a very expensive item.
Is it true that on a pet's birthday, that pet would get free training?
Answer: Yes, you get free training for that specific pet only by going to Captain Three'legs on Krawk Island.
My pet hp is very low and I already used the healing springs, what should I do? Answer: If your pet has at least one hp left, go to the battle dome and battle Inflatable Balthazar with weapons. After the battle, your pets hitpoints should go back to normal!

Answer: No, its against the rules to do that.

On the Pound boards, I keep hearing VWN, WN, and UC. What do those mean?
Answer: VWN= Very Well Named (a name that includes no numbers and is usually started with a capital letter), WN= Well Name, UC= Unconverted (unconverted pets are pets that has not gone through customization by the owner choice back in 2007.
I used Dried Orange Peels to cure my pet of Water Eyes yet it did not work why?
Answer: Anything medicines that are not from the hospital list is called an "alternative medicine" meaning that it has a slight chance of working. I recommend you go to the healing springs every 30 minutes until your pet is healed. It may take awhile so have some patients.

Lab Ray
I have all the pieces to the petpet lab ray, how do I submit it?

Answer: Robot, jelly, clay, coconut, custard, garlic, ice, sponge, snot, MSP, and alien. Though robot color could be obtain by using the plot prize from the recent Sloth plot.
What does the lab ray give?
Answer: The lab ray gives the following: stats boost, decrease in stats (except hitpoints), color change, gender change, species change, level back to 1, level increase/decrease or nothing at all.
Since I started using the lab ray, I have gotten no changes, what is wrong?
Answer: The lab ray is random, so eventually the lab ray will give you something else instead of a "nothing has changed"

In the trading post I see people put auto 40k, 600k, etc. What does auto mean?
Answer: Auto means that if you give them that price they will accept it from that price and onward_ For example lets say I put a baby paint brush on the TP stating on my wish list that 600k+ is auto meaning I will take anything from 600k and up. Also do remember that you can haggle with the trader for a lower price ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Auctions
Whenever I put a item such as lime jelly in the auctions, it says I cannot put it in there, why?
Answer: Because you need an item that is valued greater than 200 in the Neopian value "not" the existing value stated when you click your item in your inventory. neopoints
The auction says that it ends in less than 30 minutes, but it does not tell the exact time, why so?
Answer: Since it would be unfair for all neopians, TNT has decided to remove the exact timing of the item, therefore everyone has an equal chance of winning the item.
I bidded on an item that was 900 neopoints, however when I bidded again it says I need x amount of neopoints to bid again, why so?
Answer: Auctions work in the highest bidder so if someone bidded 1000 neopoints assuming that the increment was 100 neopoints per bid, then you would need to beat that offer plus follow the increment system.
I have bidded on an auction and it seems that I have not won, however I did not get my neopoints back, why?
Answer: Wait at most 5 minutes before checking the auction again, if you did not receive your neopoints back, contact TNT about the problem.
