There are only 24 hours left of Chapter 17 of The Void Within. The Chapter will end at 10am NST on Tuesday, June 9. At that time, Chapter 18 (the final chapter!) will begin.
If you are trying to maximize your plot points, make sure to fill your hub meter before 10am NST on Tuesday, June 9. This is most easily done through Hospital shifts and plot battles. Plot points earned from Achievements and Void Essence Collection do not count against chapter limits.
At the time of writing, the community battle against Vocivus still has quite a bit of HP to go, and not depleting at a rate to finish before the end of the chapter. It's not known if the battle will continue into the next chapter or not.
All Neopians can earn up to 4,000 points per chapter. This can be increased to as high as 7,000 through use of Chapter Meter Energy Booster NC items, though these extra points are only for the prize shop and do not count towards trophy progress.
Today, the new Summer Y28 Premium Goodie Bag is being sent out to Premium players:
The bag will award 1 random item when opened and contains a new set of possible prizes, which we're documenting in our Item Database! As with the previous bags, this new one is not tradeable.
To see what's inside, check out our guide to the contents:
If you receive a prize we don't yet have listed, please let us know or comment below!
The bags are being distributed very slowly. If you have not received yours yet, don't worry! In previous months, it took nearly 24 hours to fully distribute, with some players not receiving it until the following day. When it's your time, you'll receive a Neomail, along with the item in your inventory. (Just like the Premium Collectible!)
If you have any old, unopened bags in your Safety Deposit Box from previous drops, then you can still open those at your leisure and receive a prize from the older pool.
We're continuing our monthly tradition: an update on all things new and refreshed last month at Jellyneo!
Here's a rundown of what's new here from the past month.
Codestone Quest History Update
We've created a retrospective on the bygone Nick Arcade video game Codestone Quest with assets, screenshots, and gameplay mechanics.
We've also included some video and audio clips. For example, here's the opening gameplay! You can check them all out on our guide or on our YouTube channel.
PPL Guide
We created a guide on the Petpet Protection League (PPL) competition to help answer questions about its hiatus...then a couple weeks later, its hiatus ended! Coincidence? You decide!
Creative Contest Prize Pool Update
We've re-updated our guide with confirmed prizes from April's Creative Contest prize pool update. Received a prize we don't have listed? Let us know!
Neopian Times Poetry Guide
Speaking of Creative Contest changes, the Poetry Contest has migrated into the Neopian Times, so we've adapted our guide to cover what's different.
The Void Within continued its final episode, and we've covered it breathlessly!
May saw the start of four new battles and five new challengers with exclusive prizes! Check out our guides for the most accurate current mechanics and prizes:
Faerie Fragments
Last month we rolled out a guide for the new Wheel of Prizes in Faerie Fragments, a more generous successor feature to the ads previously available in the Store. (Yes, that's the same name as the Wheel from Tales of Dacardia!)
And of course, an event guide for the current seasonal event "The Curtain Rises", whose gameplay remains available through June 10 (and the prize shop a few days after that).
Pet Styles: Info and images of the new set of Scrapped Robot, Prehistoric Tyrannian, and Blooming Woodland releases, plus their Prismatic versions. (We still need a model for several of them! Check out the list here.)
Neoboard Stickers: Updated with the four new sticker packs released last month.
The Community Milestone for collecting 85 million Void Essences has been reached! Head to the plot hub to collect your bonus 100 plot points and this toy:
Interestingly, the box can be opened! But fair warning: doing so will consume your box for good.
We're collecting data on its contents - let us know what you received.
At this time, it's not clear if we will get a final milestone goal to work on before the plot ends. The hub currently does not show a new benchmark.
Welcome to the 1st Saturday of the month: Rubbish Dump Day!
In April 2022, TNT updated the Rubbish Dump to increase the drop rate of "rubbish" eligible for the avatar. (And we've even seen some Hidden Tower items pop up that weren't previously confirmed as prizes!)
The Rubbish Dump is special in that items dropped there appear after a Neopian refreshes the dump. (In other words, refreshing the page gives you the chance to "donate" some rubbish to the queue.) The more people visiting and refreshing, the more rubbish dropped, and the more opportunities there are for avatar items to appear!
Starting now, and continuing all day, here's how you can gather and participate:
If you DON'T have the avatar...
Visit the Rubbish Dump in Meridell and refresh to generate rubbish!
Claim up to 8 pieces of rubbish to clear the way for more items to appear. (And make sure not to claim anything from the Money Tree or Second-Hand Shoppe... it's 10 items max from all 3 locations combined!)
To be safe from accidental clicks, save your last 2 rubbish claims for when an avatar item pops up. (You can claim up to 10 items from the Rubbish Dump per day.)
Review our guide to familiarize yourself with which items are eligible for the avatar.
If you DO have the avatar...
Visit the Rubbish Dump in Meridell and refresh to help generate rubbish! Even if you have the avatar, refreshing helps generate more "donations" that will show up later. (And that means more opportunities for avatar items to pop up!)
Claim up to 10 pieces of rubbish to help clear the way for avatar-eligible items to appear.
Be kind and leave the cheaper avatar-eligible items (like the Fading Bottled Faeries) for those who need the avatar! We won't mind, however, if you try sniping a Dung Catapult.
The more the merrier, so share this post with your Neofriends and guildmates!
As you participate, let us know in the comments what junk—or treasures—you've seen or picked up! And let us know if you get the avatar so we can celebrate with you.
TNT has sent out an email update this morning with a summary of what's recently launched and what's coming soon to the site! The email update has also been syndicated as a blog post.
Here are some of the highlights of the new stuff that we have not yet reported on:
Altador Cup Returns June 22nd
The Press Tour for this year's Altador Cup is slated to return on June 22nd! Official gameplay start dates have not been shared yet, but this likely means the Cup will be played throughout July.
New for the Cup this year:
The Press Tour will have a daily trivia component that will award prize shop points.
A Battle Pass will be available, similar to The Void Within's Adventure Pass.
Retired avatars will be available
Altador from the Clouds returns as the NC component
As revealed earlier, Team Neopia Central will make its debut as the 20th team
A brand new Altador Cup game will be available called Obstacle Course Caper
Kiko Match III Gaming Challenge
A new gaming challenge, likely similar to the Sakhmet Soiree, will be coming soon for Kiko Match III:
P.S. A new community gaming challenge for Kiko Match III is also in the works; stay tuned!
Auction House Gets Converted
The Neopian Auction House will be getting converted to the new site layout soon, and there's a slew of Quality of Life updates planned as well:
Start an auction from within the house, not just your inventory
Increase the maximum number of items that can be auctioned at a time
Increase starting price and minimum bid increments
Implement a toggle for Neomail alerts
Expand auction filters to have a "Guild Members Only" option
Add anti-botting measures
Adding the ability to cancel active auctions
Archived Books Collection Update
Prizes are coming to the Archived Books Collection (which were originally promised back at release). New book collections are being teased. And, new books will be showing up soon at the Wheel of Extravagance and in Tales of Dacardia.
New Pet Styles Coming
This month, new Adoring Rainbow and Nostalgic Rainbow Pet Styles will make their debut at the Styling Studio, along with a slew of Prismatic options! (Happy Pride!) The Restyle Prize Pool will also get 10 new Treasured styles in this update.
Profits on the pride Pet Styles will be donated to It Gets Better by TNT.
Premium BD Challengers + Goodie Bag Updates
And lastly, the Premium BD Challengers will be rotated out for a new batch at some point this month. The Premium Goodie Bag is also expected to be updated to a summer version, likely on June 7th.
Recap Content
In addition to the coming soon updates above, the following recent updates we previously covered were also highlighted:
As of yesterday's Vocivus raid prize stamp release, a new avatar is available for the Other IV Stamp Album page! To get it, you simply must collect all of the stamps on that page.
The Neopets: Mega Mini Games Collection released on March 26th to video game platforms! Play one of 27 classic (and new) mini games from the Games Room. Read our guide to the game here:
