Make Money in Neopets

Do you need to gather more neopoints for your Neopets account? This step-by-step guide to becoming prosperous can help.

Steps

Banking

  1. Save your neopoints. Deposit neopoints in the National Neopian bank as often as you can. Saving up your money will help you accumulate more of it. If you find something you really need to spend neopoints on, it will be worth the extra work to get them out of the bank; otherwise, let them stay.
  2. Set goals. Promise yourself that you will deposit a certain amount of np every day, no matter what. Start small and increase as time goes on.
  3. Collect interest. Your neopoints will earn interest in the bank. Collect it at the beginning of every day before you do any deposits or withdrawals.
  4. Hit the withdrawal limit. If you have a hard time saving your neopoints because you always withdraw them, put a limit on yourself. Withdraw 1np, individually, 15 times. The bank will deny further withdrawals, though you can continue to deposit neopoints. If you need np for a quest, go earn it from a game.
  5. Get a Safety Deposit Box. Put your more expensive items in your Safety Deposit Box to keep them safe from thieves like the Pant Devil.

Cutting Costs

  1. Be thrifty. Don't feed your neopet expensive neggs. Neggs are a 1-bite item, whereas jellies are 2 bites and omelettes are 3. Sell the neggs, and buy cheap plain omelettes or jellies. Additionally, don't board your pet in at AstroVilla - Cockroach Towers is literally 100 times cheaper, and offers the same services. Also, never select any special services, they do nothing and only take your neopoints.
  2. Go to the Soup Kitchen. If you have less than 3,000 nps between your bank account and your shop till, feed your pet for free at the Soup Kitchen. With a little extra work, you can also Get Into the Soup Kitchen when You Are Rich on Neopets.
  3. Hit the sales. The third of every month is half-price day, so don't forget to check in for some good deals on items you can put in your shop.
  4. Cut down on toys. Your pet only needs one toy to be happy. Sell the rest and turn a profit.

Selling Items

  1. Sell the items in your Newbie Pack. Click on the amount of NPs you have in the top-right corner of the screen. Sell any items in the Newbie Pack that are not essential.
  2. Open a shop. Buy low-priced items and sell them for a profit. Price items with the Shop Wizard.
  3. Restock on Neopets. Visit official Neopets stores to restock your shop. Use the same stores repeatedly for better resale value. Restock often.
  4. Know where to sell. If your item is worth less than 100,000 nps, sell it in your shop. If it's worth more, sell it at the trading post or auction house.

Gaming

  1. Do your dailies. Dailies, or free games and tasks you can do a certain number of times each day, are a good way to start building a base of np and items you can sell for np. Here's a short list of dailies to get you started (all activities are once per day unless otherwise noted).
    • Check Weltrude's Toy Chest in PetPet Park.
    • Play Tiki Tack Tombola.
    • Collect your gift from the Council Chamber (must have completed Altador plot).
    • Visit the Deserted Tomb on Mystery Island.
    • Play Fruit Machine. Can be found at Sakhmet, inside the Lost Desert.
    • Play Giant Omelette. This is found in the Tyrannian Plateau.
    • Play Giant Jelly.
    • Visit Coltzan's Shrine (every 12 hours) in the Lost Desert.
    • Go Underwater Fishing (can be done several times) in the Maraquan Ruins.
    • Visit Symol Hole (as many times a day as you want).
    • Watch AdverVideos (5 times per day). Watch a short ad, then spin for neopoints afterward.
    • Click the Shop of Offers. Don't actually accept any of the promotions. Just going to the page once a day should get you some neopoints.
    • Play Potato Counter (3 times per day).
    • Open the Advent Calendar (during December only).
    • Play the Wheel of Slime. It is a free luck and chance spin(every 8 hours)
  2. Play Fashion Fever. You don't have to dress up your pet to get points - simply go straight to the end and send your score, which will always be 300 neopoints. You can play the game 3 times per day. Additionally, you can also send a postcard to your email address (or someone else's) for 100 np each time, totaling 1200 neopoints per day.
  3. Play sponsored games. Sponsored games are supported by advertisers and offer high payouts of neopoints.
  4. Play featured games. The games Neopets features each day will give you double neopoints for playing.
  5. Play Shenkuu Warrior 2. You can get 400 neopoints just for making it to level 2

Playing Smartly

  1. Use the Neopia health plan. If your pets are sick, go to the Healing Springs in Faerie Land. You can visit it every 30 minutes. Even if your pet isn't sick, you can visit the Springs to see if the faeries will give you elixirs and potions you can sell in your shop.
  2. Collect your freebies. If you have been a Neopets user for 30 days or more, go to the freebies site to get 2,000 neopoints and an item of food for each pet. You can do this once every month.
  3. Board your pet. When your pet is hungry, you can go to the Neolodge in Neopia Central, select your pet and then select "Cockroach Towers." Then select 28 days. Your Neopet will be bloated when they leave the Neolodge, and this will only cost 140np and your pet will be fed for almost a whole month.

Tips

  • Look for free trades.
  • Buy the things you need. Don't waste your money on pointless things like un-wearable clothing.
  • Stuff like non-rare plushies are sometimes mis-priced at 1 or 2 nps
  • Know the value of anything you buy before you buy it. Check the Shop Wizard or the auction genie to get current information. Check the Shop Wizard at least 3 times to get a good reading. Each time you click you will be getting the lowest prices in effect in one group of user names.
  • Right before you plan on logging off Neopets, deposit all of your neopoints in the bank. That way, the next time you log on, the bank will give you more interest that you would've gotten.

Warnings

  • Be wary of scams. Neopets will never ask you to put your login information in an email or enter it into a third-party website. Anyone telling you they can get you instant neopoints is probably running a scam. Report them to the Neopets team.
  • Don't try to scam the system with multiple accounts. You can have up to 5 accounts tied to one email address, but only the "main" one can gather neopoints. Trying to cheat your way around this will result in your account being banned.
  • Don't fall for the "Sparkly [color] Paint" and "[color] Paint Brush" plushies. These are toys, and will not paint your pet any color.
