Who Wants to be a Neomillionaire?

by snowie_babe

So you want to be a Neomillionaire? I can help you! Now this is not your ordinary NP making article. It's not only about the NP, it's packed full of helpful tips, ideas, strategies and everything else you need to be happy and healthy in Neopia-and a little more!

The best NP makers are and always will be games! There are tons to choose from and they all offer something different. Play them as much as you can whenever you can and for as long as you can! It’s a win/win situation! You have fun, your pet has fun AND you get NP!!! Here is a list of 5 of my favourite games and some hints and tips to help you out:

Techo Says
This is a good game but requires a lot of memory work. You can make a ton of NP from this game if you are good. Hints and tips: Say the pet names along with the game while it shows you then repeat it out loud when it's your turn. Sounds corny but it works!

Kiko Match
Also a good game and can win you some good NP but also requires some memory work. Hints and tips: Take it one at a time. Go along a row and say to yourself as you go "okay red Kiko on left, angry yellow below" and it will help you remember when you come to one.

Poogle Solitaire
This is a great game to win some good NP. A plus is if you can figure out the right combo for getting one Poogle left in the center and you have a guaranteed 750 NP every day! Hints and tips: Take about an hour and figure out the right combination to get the last Poogle left in the center. Write it down as you go so you don’t forget! Ask around. Lots of people know the right combo and most would be willing to share for a food item or maybe for free!

Meerca Chase
Yes, the hottest new game in Neopia! This game is fast and furious or easy as pie depending on what you want. Hints and tips: Start at easy when you first play then move up gradually until you can handle playing on hard pretty well then go into blisteringly fast for a couple minutes and when you go back to hard it will seem easy peasy compared to what you have just played. Keep your eye on the game and concentrate!

Cheat
This is a game of chance but you can even the odds by paying close attention. Hints and tips (I have a lot for this game): Okay the simplest way to beat cheat is to not cheat. Duh! Okay I know sometimes you have to, but only cheat when you NEED to. You can tell when other people are cheating by how many cards they put down and what cards. Obviously if they put down 4 aces and you have 3 then you know they are cheating so call them one. But never call unless you are actually sure they are! Or if the pile has less than 2 cards in it. Pay attention to what you put down. If you put down 3 aces and the pile is picked up by one person, you know that person has at least 3 aces so if somebody else says they have 2, well you know they are cheating! Duh!

So those are the game tips but I realise that many people just are not good at games! So here are some other ways to make NP:

- The Wheel of Excitement is great! Yes, I know you can lose money from it, catch Neopox, lose items and get zapped but more often than not you will win NP. And all the NP you win more than makes up for that!

- Open a shop! This is the simplest thing to do yet everybody seems to be having a problem with something about it! Some people cant get enough items to restock, some don’t price their items well, some don’t want to do the work. But it's not that hard people! Okay I’ll walk you through it. First things first you need items! Pick a shop, any shop but make sure you can afford the items there. If you are poor, start with the fresh food shop and work your way up to the magic shop. Once you have picked a shop, sit in it for one hour. (I know it seems like a lot but you only need to do it once a month then you are set!) Now refresh and refresh and every time there is a restock write down the time that it happened. That’s a restock time and there are about 8 of them. Those times, every hour of every day are when that shop restocks. So now you know when the shop restocks so get in there and buy some items! Buy as much as you can then restock your shop. Now you may not have enough room. Upgrade a little bit. I think the most anyone needs is a size 10. So don’t waste NP on making your shop a size 1000 cause you don’t need it! Now write down on a piece of paper every item you have in your shop and leave some space beside it. Now go to the shop wizard and look up the price of every item. Refresh it 3 times then write down the lowest price you have seen and that will be how much you price your item in your shop for. Then put in the prices, update and leave it alone, after one day if you have not sold out, check your prices again and modify them accordingly.

Okay so now you should be raking in the money but I still have more!

- Look in the trading post and auctions regularly for bargains and bid! Get anything you can make a profit from.

- Open up a bank account. You get 30 NP and it will help you get even more than you could have ever imagined. Every time you get money, put at least half of it in and never take it out! EVER! That’s for savings and you will gain lots of interest. I also have a system where every day I put 10,000 NP into the bank. Now I know most people are not able to do that (unless they follow my steps then they should be able to) so make up an amount that is good and realistic for you.

- Sign up with sponsors. Yes, I know you get annoying e-mails and they can take a long time to fill out the forms but it's worth it! Sign up with every sponsor you possibly can! But believe me it's worth it!

- Enter the Storytelling Contest, Caption Competition, Mystery Picture, etc. For most you get 1000 NP or even 2000 NP and a rare item for winning or guessing correctly and it’s also fun!

- Join a guild! If you find a good one they will help you out, give you more tips and turn out to be great assets to you! You can do guild contests and maybe even win one! I belong to the Planet Neopia guild. There are so many things to do, the contests and prizes are awesome and the people are great.

Well that’s all for now. If you want more info or more in-depth information just Neomail me, snowie_babe and I’d be happy to help you out!
