Tales of Dacardia Mobile App Guide

Today, the Festival of Neggs themed event has begun in Tales of Dacardia. If you didn't already complete it, you'll need to do the short introductory quest to paint the plaza for the festival.

The mechanics of the event are the same as previous donation events in Tales of Dacardia. You donate items for points, which you can then exchange for a variety of in-app prizes and Neopets.com prizes if you are linked to NeoPass. There are also some bonuses for total donation amounts. As with previous events, you can pay real money to double the amount you can donate per day.

This event will run through May 4th, slightly shorter than the themed login calendar.


Additionally, a new feature has been enabled today. The pirate Bruce on the shore, Captain QuickFinger, is now offering a variety of Neopets.com prizes for Pearly Neggs. Many of these are valuable rewards from the on site Festival of Neggs that just ended, including the Overstamped Stamp.

The Bruce's offerings are only available until May 11th. However, the in game announcement of his arrival suggests that in the future, he will be returning with different selections of items to claim.

Note: The update for the Festival of Neggs has also introduced a bug where the app's Photo Mode is largely inoperable. All buttons to change poses and filters are greyed out, which means if you get a daily quest that needs you to use one, you currently cannot complete it. Also, it appears if you take a photo, then any actions in the game after the point will not be saved when you reopen the game. It is advised to not use Photo Mode at all until this is fixed.

Yesterday, Tales of Dacardia released an update in preparation for the Easter-themed event which will begin on April 21st. Today, however, the Easter daily login calendar has launched. It will run through May 9th.

There is also a short introductory quest to repaint the town plaza for the Festival of Neggs in preparation for the event. Special coloured Neggs are awarded for completing it, which are also available from debris piles (rarely) for the time being.

Additionally, the Wheel of Prizes has been refreshed. Now, many of the segments that previously awarded in-app items will now award Neopets.com items to those with a linked NeoPass.

A selection of Easter-themed items are also now available at the Pearly Parlour, along with a new paid Crabby Capsule themed to the season. The Plushie Paintbrush has been added to the paid shop, along with the return of the Cybunny Neopet unlock (which now comes with an exclusive paint colour themed after a Lindt Bunny).

There's also a new character present on the shore, Captain QuickFinger. That feature isn't yet live, however, and will be activated along with the rest of the Easter event on April 21st.


Note: This update has also introduced a bug where the app's Photo Mode is largely inoperable. All buttons to change poses and filters are greyed out, which means if you get a daily quest that needs you to use one, you currently cannot complete it.

UPDATE, APRIL 21: It's not just you! This same issue has returned quite strongly this morning, unfortunately.

UPDATE: TNT have announced there will be downtime on the site between 2AM and 4AM on Wednesday 16th.

Over the last few weeks you may have noticed that, particularly in the mornings, Neopets.com has been fairly laggy. Well, last night into this morning, things have gotten progressively worse. Now, the site is lagging so badly that sustained play is proving impossible for many users - it isn't just you!


Many users are now encountering pages either not loading, edgesuite errors, or the following error on pages:

Error: Having trouble retrieving results Please reload the page

TNT is aware of the issue and looking into solutions. Last night, the Quest Log was taken down for around an hour to try and mitigate the issue, but when it returned the lag continued. We'll keep you updated if there are any other developments.

As a note, when periods of lag like this impact the main site, Tales of Dacardia rewards often fail to arrive in your Neopets.com account. This is temporary, and the rewards should come through when things improve.

We're continuing our monthly tradition: an update on all things new and refreshed last month at Jellyneo!

Here's a rundown of what's new here from the past month.

Varwolf Updates
Welcome to the 56th Neopets species, the Varwolf! We've made a number of updates around Jellyneo accordingly. You can now view Varwolves at our Rainbow Pool listing at the Wardrobe, and learn more about them in our Book of Ages guide:


We've also made several minor tweaks around the site:

• We've added info about creating them to our Premium Perks and Limited and Restricted Neopets guides.
• We've added them as a species exclusion on our Lab Ray and Pound Transfer guides.
• You can select them at our Petpet Matcher tool in the Item Database.
• You can select them as your jnAccount avatar, which is visible when you comment on our news posts.
• You can select them as a species filter at the Book of Ages (though TNT has made no characters yet!) and our Battlepedia Advanced Search (though TNT have made no exclusive weapons yet!)

tsun scoops and Yifang Tea NorCal Guides
We've added recaps of two recent Neopets merch partnerships: tsun scoops and Yifang Tea NorCal! These brand activations took place at the end of 2024 as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations. Check them out for all the details, including some fun pictures!


If you're hoping for another opportunity to enjoy a Neopets-themed chilled treat, you're in luck! Neopets recently announced a partnership with It's Boba Time "transforming 100 locations across the US into Neopia, featuring themed decor and exclusive giveaways" this coming May 2025!

Tales of Dacardia

Our Tales of Dacardia guide has continued to expand in the last month.

To kick it off, we have a fresh guide on the Premium Parlour! Find out about all of the current and previous items and Neopets available for sale as in-app purchases.


We've also got a guide up for the Spring Celebration event currently ongoing through April 8th.


We've also gone back and retroactively filled our Tales of Dacardia Events hub with guides for all of the past events. Will you find them useful? Probably not! But will you find them interesting? Maybe! Here they are:


Finally, we've updated our Buddy Bulletin Board guide with the new types of tasks introduced in the last update, and Wheel of Prizes guide with the latest batch of prizes (which according to the in-app announcements will be rotating out later this week)!

Faerie Fragments
Unfortunately, the beleaguered Faerie Fragments mobile app has been effectively unplayable for most people since last weekend, but we've continued to enhance our guide.

First up, we have an event guide for the current seasonal event, Tia's Seasonal Exchange, which you likely won't be able to participate in with the app's current broken state. This event is the first to offer a prize on Neopets.com!


We've also added listings of the basic details of all levels (which the game currently won't let you complete).


Similarly, we've added a Story hub with a rundown of all the tasks involved in both the Main and Side stories. If you already have Wocky Jelly or Jam, you may still be able to progress the story while the app is broken, you just might not be able to earn more!


Finally, we've launched a hub for what we are calling "Bonus Activities": the various minigames and features the app offers to earn (or buy) in-game rewards. Some of these don't require level progression, so you can stock up on rewards even while the gameplay is defective! We've shuffled some existing info into guides here, as well as added a handful of new ones. Look forward to guides for the rest of these activities in the coming weeks.


Hopefully TNT will figure out how to restore this app to a serviceable state soon!

If you discovered something delightful or useful above, make our day month by letting us know in the comments. Happy April!

Over the weekend, both Tales of Dacardia and Faerie Fragments received minor updates to address some recent issues.

Tales of Dacardia
The latest update released last Thursday saw the return of Buddy Bulletin Board tasks that require you to craft specific items (as opposed to any item of your choosing). While it seems to only ever ask for items you have the recipe for, it has no concern for whether you have those ingredients. To aid with this, several previously near-unobtainable resources now appear in debris piles. The announcement references Salt, but it seems also Clams, Burlap, Brick, Parchment, Light Bulb, Rusted Iron Rod, and Candle Wax have also been added to debris piles.

Additionally, the Rainbow Paint Brush released in the last update can now be used on Kougras; this was apparently an oversight on the original release.


Faerie Fragments
We'd previously reported on several glitches affecting rewards after the latest update of Faerie Fragments. Many (though not all!) of these now appear resolved, and TNT have pushed an apology letter specifically for Hungry Meepits, which remains broken. This letter comes with 900 Coins and 60 minutes of unlimited lives. The letter also claims that Hungry Meepits has been taken down, though it still appears on the overworld screen for players who have had it broken/stuck.
