2018 Neopoint Drive
Granny Hopbobbin is back for another year of Charity Corner. This time, she is looking to help victims of the Wraith war.
The event runs from March 12th at 12:00 pm NST, through March 23rd (only 11 days!) at 12:00pm NST.
Neopoint Drive
This year, many restrictions have been lifted. It's time to empty those Safety Deposit Boxes! Here's what's new:
- You may donate any item, from r1 through r200. (See one exception below.)
- You may donate an item from any category—it's not just books, clothing, etc.
- You may donate anywhere from 1 to 5 items at a time. You do not need to fill the 5 donation slots.
- You may donate any combination of rarity items. There are no rarity rules like in prior years.
Donation Restrictions
There are, however, a few restrictions this year:
- You may not donate r180 items.
- You may not donate Neocash (r500) items via the Neopoint Drive. (See our guide to the Giveaway Hamper Centre.)
- For the duration of the event, the Ever-Stocked General Store has been closed. You may not use it to purchase cheap items. (Items that stocked in the store that you already have can be donated.)
As a note, the Neohome Superstore is still operating as usual.
Rewards
This year, a major change has been made to the reward system. Donations no longer receive individual item prizes. Instead, each donation will award you with points that you will be able to redeem later on in a "prize shop" set up. For full details, see our Perks Shop guide. (These perks were only revealed after the event closed.)
The points you receive depend on the individual items' rarities. Here's a breakdown:
- r1-r79: 1 point
- r80-89: 2 points
- r90-97: 6 points
- r98-r100: 8 points
- r101: 1 point
- r102-r179: 4 points
- r200: 15 points
If you donate three r101 items (1 point each) and two r90 items (6 points each), you will receive a total of 15 points for that combination of items (1 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 = 15 points). The points you accumulate will be redeemable in a final prize shop once the event ends.
Item Lists
We've prepared some lists in our Item Database that you may wish to make use of.
Heads up! We're working around the clock to update the prices in our Item Database, but prices tend to shift quickly during Charity Corner, so they may be slightly stale. The lists above will still act as a good reference regardless!
Donation Tips and Strategies
Many of our favourite strategies - found on the Donation Strategy page - are still valid with the new process.
Save Time, Reduce Lag
When submitting a donation, you'll receive confirmation of the donation that looks like this:
Clicking the "Great!" or "x" buttons will reload the page, which will take some time and create lag across Neopia. Instead, click anywhere in the dark area outside of the pop up! This will not reload the page but instead allow you to make another donation right away. Your points will not update until you reload the Charity Corner page. Don't worry, you're still getting credit!
