The NC Mall Guide
Introduction to the Mall and Neocash
The NC Mall was introduced July of 2007. The NC Mall provides an option for you to purchase wearable/non-wearable items and participate in games and events. Unlike regular Neopian shops, the NC Mall requires Neocash bought with real-life money to purchase items. This Mall is available to all countries. For more information, select one of the category links above.

What is Neocash?
Neocash (commonly abbreviated as NC) is a virtual Neopian currency primarily obtained when you purchase it with real-life money. NC is the only Neopian currency used to purchase items from the NC Mall. It is not affected by Random Events that can "steal" it from your inventory like Neopoints. NC is not required to play Neopets, but rather an optional feature to enhance your gaming experience. You can purchase NC on your main and side accounts. To learn more about purchasing NC, read our Obtaining Neocash guide.
Previously, NC also supported Habitarium, along with the Petpet Park and Monkey Quest sites, before they retired in 2014. Any NC purchased through these sites can still be spent on Neopets since the accounts were linked.
Welcome Gift
Since August 2012, new users to Neopets are given a free 150 NC welcome gift. To retrieve your NC, go to the NC Mall and click "Claim your FREE NC Gift" at the top:
The 150 NC will be automatically applied to your balance, though you may need to refresh to see it.
Between July 2009 and August 2012, this gift was instead a free Spinning Star Mystery Capsule. Before July 2009, there was no free gift!
