Thinking Outside the Box for Autumn Customizations



With the Month of Gathering on the horizon, autumn is bound to be on every Neopian's mind: Pumpkin Spice Coffee at The Coffee Cave on Roo Island, marching through piles of fallen leaves to peruse the wares in the Neopian Bazaar, trips to the Haunted Woods to haunt The Deserted Fairground or do some Apple Bobbing over in Neovia. Ignore the naysayers—it’s never too early to start gathering up your gear for the season! But who has the Neopoints to buy a whole new wardrobe for every season? In THIS economy? Thankfully, there are more customization options in Neopia than there are grains of candy corn, which means there’s something out there for everyone, no matter the budget.
