Welcome to Jellyneo.net!

UPDATE, OCTOBER 3RD, ~1:00 PM NST: The New Features has been updated to announce that team signups will begin tomorrow (October 4th), while the Recycling event will begin on Monday (October 9th). The FAQ was also updated to say donations can be made "up until October 17", implying 6 to 8 days of donations depending on if the first two days are a "day 1.5" and if the 17th is included as a donation day.

Despite Fyora’s best attempts, Jhudora and Illusen will be holding competing Faerie Festivals this year! Rumour has it that official invitations will be sent out tomorrow… Do you know which Festival you will be attending? If not, be sure to pick a side soon so you can be ready to start recycling your old items when their warring festivals begin on Monday!
From New Features, October 4, 2023

What will Illusen and Jhudora accept?
Only NP items can be donated. The rarer the item, the better the reward. So, choose wisely. Items can be recycled up until Oct 17th

UPDATE, OCTOBER 3RD, ~1:00 AM NST: The Neopets support site now includes a FAQ about the still-not-active "Recycling" portion of the event that will emulate previous Charity Corners. There are some major changes this year!

• There will be Jhudora- and Illusen-themed prize shops. The FAQ states they will "each" have one "full of rare items." It does not say whether they will be new items or rereleased items. (There will not be "perk" prizes like 2018/2019's Charity Corner.)
• There is a limit of 10 donated items per day! Unlike previous years, which allowed unlimited donations and 10k points for the top prize, this year will be far less grind-y.
• In addition to the prize shop, you will receive a "Faerie Recycling Capsule" every day that you donate the maximum 10 items. This capsule has a random chance of awarding you a high-rarity item, with the following chances:
• r90-95: 60%
• r96-98: 25%
• r99: 15%
• The points scheme is the same as 2020's Charity Corner. In other words:
• r1-79: 1 point
• r80-89: 2 points
• r90-97: 6 points
• r98-100: 8 points
• Sticky Snowball: 1 point (despite being r100)
• r101: 1 point
• r102-179: 4 points
• r200-500 r200: 15 points (it is not clear whether this range is meant to include r500 NC items, or an oversight by TNT)
  
  UPDATE, ~6:45 AM NST: The rarity range on the FAQ has been updated to simply r200. Elsewhere in the FAQ, it still says that NC items will still be able to be donated; it is unclear if this is an oversight or if there will be a separate mechanic to do so.
  
  UPDATE, ~2:00 PM NST: The FAQ now states, "Only NP items can be donated."
• There will be a trophy for participation. The FAQ does not mention what the requirements for the trophy will be, however.

There is additionally a new FAQ for the daily Faerie quests, which officially confirms what had already been observed that daily quests will only be given by Battle, Grey, Fountain, and Fyora. (The elemental, Soup, and Space Faeries, as well as Kaia and Delina, will not be possible quest givers.)

Finally, some players who declined their free daily quest yesterday are finding themselves unable to accept a new quest today. For the time being, we recommend not declining your quest today until this is confirmed to be fixed.

The delayed Faerie Festival is now live! The Festival is now on a new hub page rather than the Quests page previously used for the event. This year, Illusen and Jhudora will be working together to host the festival.



At present, the Charity Corner-like elements TNT previously announced are not live. They will likely be launched as the event's storyline progresses. On the main page, you can view the introductory dialogue. However, the free daily Faerie Quests as well as the daily item giveaway are still available on the Faerie Quests page. It is likely important to visit this page daily during the event to claim the free item, as this was previously a requirement for the final prize in previous versions of the event.



The free Faerie Quests, as well as the page itself, appear to be using the images and text of the previous free Faerie Quest event, where Mr. Krawley cursed the Faeries. However, only the Battle Faerie, Fountain Faerie, Grey Faerie, and Fyora are available this time. They are also requesting different items than their normal pools; see our guide above for links to the possible items requested.

Although Delina the Crafting Faerie's quests do not appear to be a part of the event this year, there is a re-release capsule available with her past prizes:


The 'Activities' tab on the main Festival page lists a variety of Faerie-themed pages around the site. It is unclear if all the pages listed have undergone changes, but at least some still seem to be operating as usual. Participating in these activities does not appear to be required to participate in the event. However:

• The Wheel of Excitement is now free once per day for the duration of the event.
• The Soup Kitchen has its usual restrictions removed, allowing you to feed your pets for the duration of the event regardless of the amount of Neopoints you have.
• Illusen's Glade and Jhudora's Bluff have been visually updated with cardboard cutouts while they are at the Festival grounds.

Additionally, the Free the Faeries NC event has returned. You will need slingshots from the NC Mall to participate.

Just in time for the start of the Halloween season, a new selection of spooky Dyeworks have been released over at the NC Mall!


These items will be available until October 31st.

If you haven't entered already, our Costume Contest is still accepting entries!

Jellyneo's Seventeenth Annual Halloween Costume Contest is still open for entries for a few more days! You have until Friday, October 7th at 11:59PM NST to submit your Neopet dressed up for Halloween.

If you have already entered, we have reviewed most entries to reject any rule breaking submissions. Check the entry page—if your costume broke a rule, you'll be able to remove it and re-enter after making corrections. (If your entry is still pending, then it will in all likelihood be approved within the next day.)

Just like last year, we will be accepting as many entries as we can for round one of voting. (Barring any rules violations of course, and we also won't be accepting 50 vampires, so be creative!) 75 of the top rated pets from round one will move on to round two, and from there the top 30 will compete for a gold trophy.

For a full list of rules and dates, please see our Costume Contest '23 page. And then start dressing up your Neopet!


(Before submitting, be sure to check out the rules!)

The final item for the Escape to Kiko Lake collection is now released, and is themed around the Elvin! This item will only be available in October.


As this is the final item in the collection, there is also a bonus available to those who qualify:

October is here! The start of the spookiest month means another chance to collect some freebie foods and Neopoints!
