Still Broke? More Tips To making Your Own Items By Hand

by cebu_that_meows

HIDDEN TOWER - Hello ladies and Moehogs! It’s me again, cebu_that_meows, bringing you more tips on how to make those expensive items you STILL can’t afford since my last article. In this piece, I’ll not only include how to make more hidden tower items and such, but also I’ll include a list of food substitutes; things that, if you are really poor, you can feed to your pets instead of food! Now enough delay, let’s begin!

My first tip is for making an Abominable Snowball. I know what you are thinking, Abominable Snowballs are cheap! They only cost around 600 Neopoints or so! Well, there are some needy Neopians out there who don’t have enough Neopoints to buy one. That’s why I included it!

Your first thing to do, when making an Abominable Snowball, is to head to Happy Valley. As everyone knows, it snows year round there. Scoop up some snow, and make two snowballs. Stick one on top of the other. Hopefully, the stickiness of the snow should stick the snowballs together, and if they don’t, use some glue… oh, wait, didn’t we have this discussion in my last article? *cough* Okay, forget that, and just hope that the snowballs stick together. You now have a (rather plain) Abominable Snowball! If you want to make it look a little more like the real thing, ask to borrow someone’s Dark Faerie pen, and draw eyes and a little smiley face on the top snowball (it may take a little practice, but eventually you might get it!)

My next tip is for making a not widely known hidden tower item: Meuka snot gloves. In the hidden tower, these gloves cost 4,350,000 Neopoints! I have a way to make them yourself, while spending only 650 Neopoints (give or take a few!)

Your first step is to buy a pair of Garden Gloves. These can be purchased at Uni’s Clothing for about 325 Neopoints, or bought in someone’s shop for 400. Keep these with you! Next, go to Wheel of Excitement, or the Wheel of Misfortune, and spin it. Hopefully, your pet will catch the Sneezles. DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THE HEALING SPRINGS, OR GIVE THEM A MAGIC COOKIE (which is the cure for Sneezles!) Instead, wait a few days, until the disease is at its peak. Your pet will be sneezing like crazy, and will have a very, very runny nose. Now this is when the icky part comes in: stick the garden gloves up your pet’s nose (one glove up each nostril.) Leave them up there for a few minutes (have your pet breathe through it’s mouth!) The slowly pull the gloves out and tah-da! You now own snot gloves (you weirdo…)

The Sunshine Shield is another popular (and expensive) hidden tower item. To make it yourself, simply buy a basic wooden shield, and a happiness negg. Find some way to keep the negg temporarily attached to the shield (we’re not going there again), then head on up to Faerieland. Find a Fire Faerie. Once you find her, annoy her. Poke her. Laugh at her. Pull on her wings. Eventually, she will become so mad at you that she will throw a fireball at your face. Hold up the shield to block it, and then run as fast as you can. If everything worked out according to plan, the negg should have melted to the shield, making it look like a sunshine shield. If not, rest in peace dear friend, rest in peace.

*Moment of silence*

Moving on...

And now I have a few paint brush tips! My first one is for the scritchy sketchy paint brush, and it’s another one of those tips that doesn’t require any effort or any pets! First, buy a notebook (it doesn’t matter which kind, as long as it has plain white pages!) and a basic pencil. Sketch a drawing of any Neopet on one sheet of paper. To make it look believable though, sketch a drawing of one that can be painted with this particular paint brush. Then cut out your picture using Quiggle Scissors, and you have a Sketch Neopet! Name him (the drawing-pet-thing) Bob. Walk around Neopia Central with him. If anyone brings up the fact that he is two dimensional, explain that it was a freak Lab Ray accident and he doesn’t like to talk about it.

Now for the glowing paint brush. These are worth roughly 65,000 Neopoints! So instead, buy about five radioactive muffins. Feed them to your pet. After a while, he will start to glow. To keep up his color, feed him 5-10 muffins a day. Caution: May be poisonous and deadly! But who cares as long as it’s cheap, right? =)

The Ghost Paint Brush: Wait, I’m staying away from this one! This is just too easy and way too mean *laughs manically*

Next is the electric blue paint brush. This paint job would be a lot easier to do if they had electrical sockets in Neopia *he he he COUGH!* So for this one, buy a bottle of water and take your pet to the Virtupets Space Station. As you know, the Space Station is completely run by computers. So all you have to do is pour a little bit of water on one of the computers, causing it to malfunction and spark. Have your neopet stand really close to the sparks, and voila! The bad things about this though are that the sparks *MAY* instead fry him and turn him into a little shriveled piece of meat, and that you may be responsible for the destruction of an entire world. So, not major consequences then!

And now for some food tips!

Now, there are many things you could do to feed your pet that don’t involve buying him food. Neopia Central is a great place to go for free food! Take your pet there.

Have you ever noticed that the Food Shop is a giant hamburger? Take your pet there and let him snack on the walls a bit! Then head over to the Bazaar, and let him snack on the Bakery, Pizzaroo, and, for some nutrition, the Health Food store.

Also, Chickaroo can really come in handy, especially when your have three or four pets. For those of you who don’t know, Chickaroo is a Neopian disease that makes your pet think it is a chicken. So if your pet THINKS it is a chicken, then it will ACT like a chicken, right? And what do chickens do? They lay eggs! Bingo! You are set on food for life! You and the rest of your pets will never go hungry again!

Well, that is it for now. Thanks for reading another installment of a CRAZY weirdo babbling about nothing! Hope to see you again!

*Author’s note: Even though I put a note in my last article not to try any of these tips, someone still did. So I will say it again: These tips are completely made up! They do not work! Please, please don’t try these! These should not, in any way, be experimented with! And if you have any questions/comments, feel free to Neomail me!*
