I’m glad that you decided to read this second part of
the guide. I hope it fulfills any promises I made last week in the introduction.
If after reading this you still have questions, please Neomail me. I would
love to hear from you, and I promise you will get a reply! (Before we
get started, this is a money saving article, not a money making. There
are too many of those around, I wanted to be different). Let’s get started
shall we:
OK, well, first things first - any money that you do
acquire, put in the bank. If you haven’t yet created a bank account, DO
IT NOW! When you do you will gain an extra 30 NPs, also, once you have
15,000 NPs in stashed away, you will start to gain interest, which is
a great way to make extra cash! Not only that, but you also get a deposit
box, which you can store your precious items away from the Pant
Devil and other nasty monsters!
Secondly – if you have less than 1000 NPs, DON’T buy
any food! Remember, that there is such a person and place and the Soup
Faerie and the Soup
Kitchen. She is nice person and will feed any pets that need the
food, and whose owners can’t afford any. But, please don’t try and get
free food if you have like 20,000 NPs, it just holds up the lines for
real needy pets.
Here’s a common tip you will hear around: only play the
Wheel
of Excitement if you have over 5,000 NPs. Why? Well, it your pet
ever has the misfortune of being struck with Neopox or D’Achoo, you can
afford the treatment. If you do have the money, I suggest playing once
every hour. It isn’t very hard to score the 10,000 NPs jackpot! I’ve done
it twice, and you could too!
You always hear people saying that you should open a
shop right away, but when you’ve only just started it can be a bit expensive.
I say, only start your own shop if you have over 1,000 NPs. That way,
you can afford upgrades every now and then, and also items to put in your
shop. (For more info on opening and succeeding with a shop, watch out
for Part 7 of this guide).
People with a lot of money tend to make the mistake that
they can afford to buy themselves everything in Neopia, BUT it’s just
not true! LOL! So, here’s an idea: why not treat yourself to buying one
rare item at the end of the month, every month? You and your pet will
be happy, and by the time the next month comes around to get another item,
you will have worked up the money to buy again!
Here is something that people always tend to debate on:
codestones – use them or lose them! Unless you’re planning on fighting
in the Battledome, don’t bother using them. Not only would it be a waste
of time, but you will also be losing out on a lot of money. People are
willing to pay a lot of Neopoints to get a codestone. So when you get
one - sell it, auction it or trade it!
DON’T fight in the Battledome if you have less than 15,000
NPs. Battledome weapons don’t usually come cheap and the ones that do
have limited power. (If you want to know the best cheap Battledome items,
look out for part 8, where the Battledome in the main subject)!
Faeries, Faeries, Faeries! They're not there when you
want, and are when you don’t! I’m talking about captured Faeries. If you
do manage to get your hands on one somehow without buying it, sell it,
auction or trade it. Again, like the codestones: don’t bother using it
if you aren’t sending your pet to the Battledome, it's just plain common
sense!
Well, there you have it. 8 easy, simple, and clear steps
on how to save those points! Trust me, they work. Ask me how much I have!
When you find out, you’ll know that they work!
