Advent Orion Prizes

Today prizes have been released in the Orion quest chain at the Advent Calendar. You will need to click through the dialogue to complete this part of the quest and be granted the prizes.

This includes an upgrade of the Orion's Prophecies trophy on your userlookup, now to a maximum of gold if you have completed the previous Orion quests in the Festival of Neggs, Altador Cup, and Faerie Festival. Otherwise, you will get a relevant colour upgrade based on the number of Orion quests you completed.


There are also a number of item prizes awarded, the number of which depends on the amount of Orion quests you have previously completed.


Note that these prizes are meant to be displayed in a popup after clicking through the dialogue, but this does not trigger for all users. However, even if you do not get the popup, the items are correctly placed in your inventory and the trophy correctly upgraded.

IMPORTANT: This is NOT the advent prize for today. In order to qualify for the Winter Site Theme by collecting prizes on each day of the advent calendar you must also click the collect prize button under the comic today. There is an additional Premium item prize, but for non-Premium users, the daily prize is Neopoints.

There is also an additional quirk today in that the comic is not the same for everyone. There are four versions of the comic, randomly displayed to users, which show a different part of the tablet at the bottom:


Thanks to Neopets user caraotico, who compiled the four parts into a single image:

From the completed tablet, it appears we may be heading to Tyrannia in a future Orion event.

Also note that this is NOT the end of the Orion content in the Advent Calendar. The event's FAQ specifies that there will be additional storyline related days on December 29th (tomorrow!) and December 31st.

There are 34 comments below. Add yours!

I wonder if this has something to do with the obelisk. spirits showing up there isn't new or maybe the concert hall since... music and all that.

This is the coolest thing that has happened in a while! I am super hyped.

Not to sound ungrateful, but even though all the orion gold trophy items were there to cheer me up, it feels a little sad to just receive 803 nps today from the "regular and non-premium" AC. Anyways, I'm curious about what will happen next in the orion's storyline... **
by sinthr on December 28, 2024 4:54 AM NST
I guess Tyrannia is next
by kacheekfan96 on December 28, 2024 4:55 AM NST
It looks like Tyrannia and the concert hall, but it that the Monoceraptor in the corner?
by puffkins2000 on December 28, 2024 4:57 AM NST
That's such a nice touch to have four variations (and it actually works?!)!
by amethyst43217 on December 28, 2024 5:29 AM NST
I thought it was strange they released Tyrannian styles and Tyrannian themed items...
by murpha21 on December 28, 2024 6:09 AM NST
Oooh I love the four different comics thing. Feels very old school-ish, in a good way
by bonju on December 28, 2024 6:28 AM NST
I think the jellyneo list should be update with a quotation as to why December 28th just have neopoints

@hdawg1995
It most likely does, the conflict wasn't quite resolved during the conflict. I could see each order being repurposed for an upcoming HatIC-style plot. 2.0, maybe?
by avenning on December 28, 2024 7:23 AM NST
Okay, the four different tablet chunks are an interesting detail, even if it doesn't make any sense since Orion has them all in his possession. But at least this part is a. Pretty much over and b. Absolutely unrelated to The Void Within...
by apophis324 on December 28, 2024 8:30 AM NST
So it appears to be a musical/singing Draik spirit of sorts that is causing all this mayhem?

Maybe we will get a new paint brush color of musical notes as a fur pattern?
by hugsandtugsbear2 on December 28, 2024 9:32 AM NST
My sister started the Orion plotline with this and she only received the Ancient Tablet Pieces if that helps?
by everfascinated on December 28, 2024 9:50 AM NST
I'm still a little bit ticked off that I missed the Orion stuff in the Altador Cup, because I would love for having all 4 cylinders to matter and be useful to the plot but... I didn't get em ^^'
by catriki on December 28, 2024 10:20 AM NST
I can't be the only one that hasn't be given the prizes. Like I go through the entire comic, then no popup. I check my inventory, no prizes and my silver trophy is not updated.
by jellyeventidekrawk on December 28, 2024 12:35 PM NST
I'd missed getting the trophy during the fearie festival (pretty sure on a technicality since I did pretty much everything just missed viewing the right page or something) But seems my trophy after finishing this is gold, wonder if I retroactively got credit for that one earlier or if I just did after completing this.
by inusfan on December 28, 2024 3:04 PM NST
Lol the four comic pages broke the Advent Calendar archive
by rowenstarchild on December 28, 2024 3:19 PM NST
@jellyeventidekrawk def submit a ticket to TNT! You're not the only one having this issue, a handful of people on reddit are also saying the same thing!!
by rowenstarchild on December 28, 2024 3:21 PM NST
@rowenstarchild I did several hours ago but I haven't heard back!
by jellyeventidekrawk on December 28, 2024 3:35 PM NST
I was certain I clicked everything during the Faerie Festival, but I guess I didn't. I am missing the Earth Musical Cylinder. I guess I won't be able to finish the plot then.
by marfbear on December 28, 2024 5:20 PM NST
I got All-Star in the AC and didn't get the Air one? I did everything and only got Silver.
by zenopeltis on December 28, 2024 5:37 PM NST
That blue figure in the middle looks like a draik, any musical draik? I hope having all the cylinders will help us at some point
by rkbear1 on December 28, 2024 9:45 PM NST
I have a Silver Orion's trophy and have done all the events - went to the Advent Calendar and only got the 3 prizes, not the BG, and my trophy is still silver. Is this a glitch? Has TNT addressed this or do I need to write in?
by infernal_kitty on December 28, 2024 11:33 PM NST
It could be some here didn‘t complete ALL the Orion quests in the sense that they didn‘t participate in every day that Orion had a new mission for us. Like in the Advent Calendar, where maybe a day was missed.
by horses_46569 on December 28, 2024 11:44 PM NST
Good thing I already have the Winter Site Theme. There's bound to be some users who missed clicking the button to collect the regular prizes on the 28th.

Also hilarious that they misspelled the name of a character that they put effort into building up her lore over the past year
by mercury on December 29, 2024 12:57 AM NST
Was a little sad to only get a Silver Trophy - in a previous event the storyline glitched out for me and I could not read all the comics (got stuck on Day 4 and it didn't came back on the very last day). Neopets kindly sent me the cylinder I missed out on because of this, but it has meant I could not qualify for gold. Wonder how many other folks out there ended up with the same problem.
by cabbil_bane on December 29, 2024 6:35 AM NST
Huh, I missed yesterday's advent calendar but when visiting today I got the dialogue, prizes and trophy upgrade. Was that an accident? If not I hope to Fyora they don't fix it, almost had an aneurism when I realized I missed a story day

I know 100% I did participate in every appearance of Orion. However, I did not claim my Faerie Festival prizes/visit the page when the event was over. Not sure if that has an impact, though it shouldn't because the Orion stuff was still done by then. I'll submit a ticket, but I'm not even sure they have a way to check it. It's very disappointing if they can't correct this.
by infernal_kitty on December 29, 2024 12:48 PM NST
Has anyone else done all of Orions's quests but only have a silver trophy? I sent a ticket and they said they were working it but I never got mine fixed. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
by st1nkz on December 29, 2024 7:17 PM NST
Ope, just read above- same here @infernal_kitty! I never missed a day and I have all of Orion's prizes so I don't know what's going on.
by st1nkz on December 29, 2024 7:18 PM NST
I didn't read this until today and now I'm worried I missec a day becauss I'm unsure if I went past the Orion gifts!!! I have dome thus everyday and I'm going to be so upset that I missed ONE day because of a fake out!!!
by ktheminion on December 30, 2024 8:35 AM NST
"Mus.. Mus.. Mus.." Is nobody going to check on those MUSIC CYLINDERS that he left on Terror Mountain? (Or that are gathering dust in everyone's Safety Deposit Boxes )
by apophis324 on December 31, 2024 3:30 AM NST
I have an Air Musical Cylinder... good catch apophis324!
by avirawolvezevie on January 1, 2025 7:50 AM NST
I am glad I dd not miss a day, and hopefully the MUSIC CYLINDERS will not be required.
