Battleground Of The Obelisk

The Tyrannian Battleground is an ongoing feature in the Battledome where you get to choose a faction to join and fight for every two weeks. At the end of each two week cycle, the Oracle awards prizes to the winning faction.

The Battleground is a follow-up from the War for the Obelisk event, in which six factions fought over a magical obelisk that appeared in Neopia.

(November 30, 2023)

Sign Ups

Every other Monday, head on over to the battleground to enlist yourself among the brave warriors. You have three days to sign up with your faction of choice. Each cycle, three random factions will be selected to participate in that week's battle. The prizes you receive differ depending on your faction, so it can be more advantageous to join in depending on the available factions. See the Boons section below for more info.

Battling

The fighting kicks off on the Thursday following sign-ups and continues through Sunday. Battledome challengers from your opposing factions will be available to you at the bottom of the standard challenger selection page in the Battledome during the entirety of these four days.

In order to qualify as having helped your faction, you have to take part in at least 10 battles; you can complete these battles against any faction opponent at any difficulty.

It is unknown at this time how the difficulty of the challengers affects the points your team receives. You can find a list of all the challengers in our In-Depth Battlepedia.

Prizes: Boons

If you allied yourself with the victorious faction and completed at least 10 battles, then you will be rewarded with your choice of boon (a fancy name for "perks") to enhance the site for the duration of the week-long truce. Each faction has its own list, so not all boons are available for every faction.

To select a boon, you must return to the Battleground homepage after the skirmish is over. You can select a boon at any time during the truce week, but it will only be valid through the remainder of that week.

Premium players will also get a choice of a second, Premium boon in addition to a boon from their winning faction. These boons are always available to Premium members of the winning faction, regardless of faction.

Boons by Faction

Boon Effects

Below is a listing of each boon and what it does:

Boons and their Effects

Boon	Effect
Bank Bribery	Increases your interest rate at the bank by 3%.
Black Market Goods	Shows and highlights exclusive items in shop restocks that are not shown to those without the boon.
Book Smarts	You will receive two or four intelligence points instead of the standard one point when you read your pet a book.
Cartogriphication	Your pet will tell you the correct direction through the Faerie Caverns, leading you towards guaranteed treasure.
Cheaper by the Dozen	Allows you to purchase stocks selling for 10+ NP, instead of the usual minimum price of 15 NP.
Doctor Who?	A sick Neopet taken to the Healing Springs will be cured of its disease and restored to full HP. This is in addition to whatever other action Marina takes on your Neopets, for example: The Water Faerie says a few magical words and... [Pet Name] is fully healed!!! All of your Neopets gain seven hit points. I hope that helps! :) If you have more than one sick Neopet, one of them will be chosen at random to receive the cure and heal. Your sick Neopet does not need to be set as active to receive the guaranteed cure and heal. If you do not have any sick Neopets, this boon provides no effect.
Doppelgänger	Unknown chance of being able to reuse one-use items in the Battledome.
Double Bubble	Chance that a Healing Potion, Morphing Potion, or consumable Meridell Potion will refill itself after you use it on your Neopet. The success rate is confirmed to be 25% on Meridell potions (thanks to u/throwawayneopoints on Reddit for their research on this), but has not been tested on other potion types yet. *pop pop* The potion magically refills itself to the brim. It looks like pet name is quite magically talented. If you can confirm that this boon works on items other than the types listed above, please let us know (and screenshots are preferred).
Equip ALL THE THINGS	Allows you to equip one extra weapon to your pet, giving you 9 total weapons. The item will be automatically returned to your inventory once the boon expires. (Although the boon banner appears only on your Battledome status page, you can also equip the extra weapon through your inventory.)
Five-Finger Discount	Discount of 10% applied to the stock price in Neopian shops (not user shops).
GRRRAAAAHHHHHH!	Increases your pet's damage output by 10% in the Battledome.
LOL AVIES	Steal another person's avatar for the duration of the boon. To steal someone's avatar, click on their active avatar on the Neoboards or in your guild's message board. You can only steal an active avatar. The stolen avatar is labeled as "Pilfered" and can be swapped at will by stealing another one instead. The person from whom you stole the avatar continues to have use of it themselves. The stolen avatar does not count towards your Neoboard Avatar score. This boon does not work with the new layout. If you choose this boon, you can pilfer an avatar by visiting the Neoboards under the old site. When you are viewing a topic with an avatar you wish to pilfer, edit the URL of the page to add a forward slash / between the phtml and the ?topic. (So you'll see: phtml/?topic) Alternatively, your guild's message board should continue working under the old layout.
Refreshed Quest Request	Allows you to "refresh" any faerie quest you receive one time, swapping your current quest for a random new one.
Right Round Round Round	Spin the wheels of Neopia twice before having to wait the usual time to spin again. Wheel of Excitement Wheel of Extravagance Wheel of Knowledge Wheel of Mediocrity Wheel of Misfortune Wheel of Monotony This boon's banner does not display on the Wheel of Excitement page, but does still work correctly. It displays fine on all other Wheel pages.
Scratch Master	Can buy two scratchcards one after the other before having to wait the normal waiting time between purchases.
Strength of Mind	Gives the ability "Mind Blast" for use in the Battledome for the duration of the boon. The ability has a one-turn cooldown and uses your pet's Intelligence points (instead of its Strength) to calculate the damage done the turn it's used.
That Millionaire Feeling	Prior to November 2014, when the Neopoint offer limit at the Trading Post was only 800,000 NPs, this boon would allow you to offer up to 2,000,000 NPs on a TP lot. In November 2014, the normal TP limit was raised to 2,000,000 NP without this boon being changed, making it useless.
Full Pockets Premium only	Additional Neopoints received from Premium Space Faerie Scratchcards.
Premium Dreamium Premium only	Allows you to send 4 scores per day on the Premium Featured Game, instead of 3. More generally, you can send one additional score if there are any gaming events that allow more than 3 game sends.

Prizes: Avatars and Site Themes

In addition to selecting your boons above, you will also receive the respective avatar and site theme for the faction you allied yourself with. To receive all 6 avatars and all 6 site themes, you will need to join in and win with each faction in at least one skirmish!

To claim the theme and avatar, you must return to the Battleground homepage after the skirmish is over. You can claim it at any time during the truce week after victory, but if you do not claim it before signups for the next battle begin then you lose the opportunity until your next victory.
