Taking Care Of Your Neopet
You're probably going to get the most from this sport when your Neopet is joyful and well-fed. How do you manage this? The simplest approach is to make use of things. Things can be purchased from other customers (more on this in a minute) or found around the website. As a new participant, you need to have received a couple of free things to start off you.
To see your items, choose Inventory in your Customise menu. You'll see a screen showing what you're currently carrying.
Click on an item to use it. A pop-up will appear including a drop-down menu (in case it doesn't, make sure your adblocker is put to allow Neopets.com). Choose"Play with" to get a toy, or"Push to" to get an item of food, and press the button to make it happen! Food will evaporate when consumed (fairly logically), making your pet less famished. Toys (and dressing table items, which work in the exact identical way) make your pet happier, and will remain in your stock to be used again and again.
If you're planning to be away from the website for a while, or are just too busy to come on the net regularly, you can send your own pets to a hotel rather than feeding them every day. This doesn't make your pets any more happy, but it will prevent them getting hungry.
An important thing to remember about items is that more expensive or harder-to-get things aren't necessarily better. In reality, in most cases, there's not any difference in effect between common toys and foods and rarer ones. If you unconverted neopets it will help. Your pet will be just as happy playing a Blue Ixi Plushie (among the funniest toys around the website ) as he or she will having a Faerie Queen Doll (a luxury toy purchased just by collectors).
Your pet can sometimes also become ill. There are tons of different illnesses, but they all have exactly the identical impact; your furry friend will look sick and beaten-up wherever you see his or her picture, and won't have the ability to resist in the Neopets Battledome.
Like so many things, Neopets is much more enjoyable if you have great friends to share it with. Even if you can not convince any one of your real time friends to join you around the site, you can always talk to people and make friends on Neopets itself.
The private messaging program on Neopets is called Neomail. It can not deal with any complicated code or very long messages, but it is great when you just need to let friends know how you're doing. You can locate it from the My Account menu.
