Welcome to Jellyneo.net!

Today has brought another update for Android users of Island Builders (iOS users remain on the old version in Closed Beta). This update largely fixes errors introduced in the previous one. You can now once more feed your pets.

This latest update has also decreased the amount by which Happiness will naturally decay over time.

The patch notes also mention 'Removed style happiness as a factor in pets' ability to gather', though it is unclear what exactly this means at this stage as pets do not appear to have different Happiness gauges for different attributes.

Additionally, just before this patch a new battledome item has been discovered, awarded for completing the Crystal Plateau quests:


A similar item has been discovered for completing the Mystic Jungle quests:


However, at present these items are not retroactively awarded, so if you already progressed past this point in the game you cannot currently claim them. It is unknown if this will change.

Today has brought another new update for the open beta of Neopets: Island Builders on Android (iOS users remain in closed beta and there is no new update).

This update has fixed a number of bugs, as well as adding several new quests and craftable items. Some user interface icons have also changed. We'll be updating our guide over the coming days with things that have changed.


Unfortunately, currently this update has also caused a new glitch - you can currently no longer use any Gathering Building for any item. There is a temporary workaround available. First, send your pets to an amenity building. Then, select the gathering item you want, and cycle through your pets until one lights up, you will be able to gather this way. However, many cycles may be needed.

Other bugs include pets being unable to be fed, and Daily Goals no longer incrementing.

To celebrate the recent Blumaroo Day, a new colour is now active!


A new Mary Poppins themed clothing set is also now active:

Existing Premium Members
Renewal not coming up for awhile? Never fear! You can lock in this promotional rate for the next time your plan renews. Even if your plan renews in 6 months, you can apply the sale to that upcoming renewal date.

To lock in the sale:

2. Click the "Upgrade Plan" button under your existing plan's details.
3. Click the 1 Year plan option. You should see it discounted to $49.95.

(Did you previously cancel your membership, but there's still pre-paid time before it cuts you off? If so, you won't see "Upgrade Plan" on the Manage Membership page. Instead, there will be a "Keep Membership" button since you must re-activate before receiving the sale price. Click "Keep Membership", confirm that you wish to restart your subscription at the old price, and then you should see the "Upgrade Plan" button which you should click to lock in the sale. See above to continue.)

As of writing, there are no known new perks this year.

Today, we're excited to release our game guide for the Island Builders mobile app! We've aimed to be as comprehensive as we can with this first pass. Our guide includes data on the different buildings, quests, and items you'll encounter, along with level info and a few other topics.

Do keep in mind that since Island Builders is still in beta, we'll be updating our guide as more is released (and updated). If you notice anything missing or have some new info from a recent release, don't hesitate to let us know.


In the future, you can always find a link to our Island Builders guide from the articles or game guides menu! And a big shout out goes to Herdy and Quail who were responsible for building up this guide over the past several weeks.
