Neopets: Island Builders
Core Buildings
Many of the buildings in Island Builders aren't used for gathering items or increasing pet happiness. Within the game, these are grouped together as Core Buildings.
Funtionally, these can be grouped together into two groups. There are those that hold a specific function, such as for trading with other players or crafting. There are also those that hold no real function and are for decorative purposes. Aside from Dacardian Homes and Dacardian Duplexes, most of those in the second category can also be upgraded with Building Materials to gain experience points for your town.
