It's been announced that Neopets will be hosting a charity auction for 25 different pieces of artwork previously found displayed in the corporate JumpStart + Neopets offices in southern California. The proceeds from the auctions will be split equally and benefit the following four charities:

  • World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
  • The Trevor Project
  • Project HOPE
  • Eden Reforestation Project

A full list of pieces has not yet been announced, but according to a press release will include:

The full collection from the Neopets private vault includes fine art paintings with luxe frames, large standees, and high-quality special posters that have adorned the walls of JumpStart Games headquarters.

The auctions will be held on GiveSmart.com via a live auction process and will be up from May 9th through May 15th for bidding. (We'll post again once we have more details and a place to go.)

Altador Cup Signups to Begin May 26th
  • Posted by Herdy
  • Posted on May 4, 2022, 10:22 am NST

Today a new email has been sent out from the Neopets team. While it talks about the recently announced charity auctions it also mentions that this year's Altador Cup is almost here! Specifically, signups for this year's Cup will start on May 26th.

This means that last year's Altador Cup prize shops will soon be closing! The email does not offer an exact date that the shops will be closing, so it is better to claim your prizes now if you have not already done so!




(Note that due to the lack of a 1 point item last year, you will likely have some points in the prize shop left over that you cannot spend. There's no way to avoid this.)

The email does not mention the usual pre-tournament press that comes before Altador Cup signups. It's unknown at this stage if it will be happening or not.

Rubbish Dump Day, Saturday, May 7th!
  • Posted by Dave
  • Posted on May 7, 2022, 12:00 am NST


Welcome to Rubbish Dump Day! After hosting the event in mid-April and seeing the turn out, we've decided to host a Rubbish Dump Day on the 1st Saturday of each month as long as we get interest!

Last month, 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 visits the dump. The more people visiting and refreshing, the more rubbish dropped, and the more opportunities there are for avatar items to appear!

Starting today at 10:00 AM NST 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.


Can't get enough rubbish? Mark your calendars and join us on the first Saturday of next month—June 4th—for our next Rubbish Dump Day!

Altador Cup Prize Shops Closing This Weekend
  • Posted by Herdy
  • Posted on May 14, 2022, 6:21 am NST

As reported last week, the Altador Cup will soon be returning. The weekend's news update has revealed that the prize shops from last year's Cup will be closing imminently - you have until the end of tomorrow, Sunday 15th May to claim any outstanding points.




(Note that due to the lack of a 1 point item last year, you will likely have some points in the prize shop left over that you cannot spend. There's no way to avoid this.)

This week's editorial has also revealed that the pre-tournament press tour will be returning this year. The closure of the prize shops on Sunday perhaps means it will be starting on Monday.

Note that this week's editorial has also stated that the signups for this year's Cup will be starting on May 25th. The email announcing the Cup had previously stated May 26th. At this stage it is unknown which is the correct date.
