The first thing most novices worry about is where they will get NPs for everything. Often times you find yourself signing up for Neopet promotions regardless of whether you want them or not, all for the promise of 500 NP or so. That is useless. An excellent game to use to gain capital is Kiko Match. You are able to play it 3 times a day for NP, if your game not going well restart the game, also instead of playing the game again immediately after playing, click back out of it, and then return in, without doing this you lose precious Time Bonus. This all adds up and one game can net you 500 plus NP depending on how fast your computer assimilates your choices.
The base capital you gain funnels back into the real money-maker, your shop. Go ahead, invest in a good shop. To gain knowledge on good business practices and ideas, please reference the article on owning a shop.
Make use of every available freebee offered daily. There’s no excuse not to pick up what is offered in the first place.
Faerieland: Wheel of Fortune, and Healing Faerie- ask her to heal your pets.
Lost Desert: Coltanz’s shrine is excellent! There’s also the fruit machine.
Terror Mountain: Grab items from the Snowager down in the Ice Caves, and in December take advantage of the advent calendar.
Tyrannia: Nothing feeds a pet like the giant omelette.
Mystery Island: Can’t forget Tombola.
You should avoid, however; spending much money at all, or anything on the wishing well, it is too competitive and it’s like, throwing money down a well. I don’t have any proof that donating to the money tree increases your own wealth or fortune, but know that some people spend their entire day collecting from the tree. Your donated goods usually go to some jerk who’s looking to get something for nothing.
Avoid quests that are not given to you, for example the Brain Tree or Snow Faerie, they will send you out of your way collecting expensive items for a gift that never pays off. If you receive a quest from a Faerie it would be best to set up a deal with a neofriend some arrangement because you will be unable to touch the shop wizard where all the good deals are.
And the best advice is; always shop around for the best price.
Don’t get involved with Neo Hackers who promise million dollar payoffs for their schemes, it won’t work, and you’ll get your beloved account frozen.
Don’t get caught up building a Neohouse until you’ve collected a comfortable amount in your bank.
Never login on fake logins, if you know that you are already loged in and you come upon a login sheet check the url, if its a corruption of www.neopets.com or anything else, you run the high risk of having your account stolen. And remember, never give out your password.
Don’t buy expensive foods. It changes nothing. The same goes for toys, unless you’re collecting plushies it will not change you account. You’re green fuzzle is just as effective as an expensive plushie.
If you want to change the species or color of your pet, purchase a “Magical Plushie” they will change your pet entirely. And for the most part they are much cheaper to purchase.
They are in the midst of changing all Neo Cards into other pets and themes, if you collect for your Neodeck, grab something that has already been reworked or you’ll be stuck with a card you didn’t want.Buy as many cards as possible strong looking ones mainly. If you don't really dig cards, furniture, or any other collectables they can always spell money if you have to do a big sell off.
Buy lots of stock, find a company to drop chunks of money in, a few shares wont make a difference especially after the fees, the money triples in a few weeks.
Refresh often you can find rare Items. Or if you're in the Grocery store, Bookstore, or anyother hot area you increase your chances of snaging the item you want.
You should play Deckswabbers alot because you get dubloons which are worth about as much as code stones .
