Event Quest

To activate the Donation Dome portion of the event, you must complete an introductory questline from Ariel.

To complete the quest, use the Giant Hungry Malevolent Chomby Dome Paint Roller on the Festival plaza. This paint roller and plaza preview are as shown below. You must use this roller to activate the event.

Giant Hungry Malevolent Chomby's Donation Dome

The Donation Dome will begin on Monday, March 16, 2026. It will run for 16 days through Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

Crabby Hopbobbin is once again calling for donations from Dacardia. You can help by donating any items you have in your inventory.

The Donation Dome began on March 16, 2026, and runs through March 31.

Items can be donated by visiting the Festival Plaza. Once there, click the button to open the event:

Then, click on the "Attack Now" button in the bottom right corner:

Here, items can be turned in for Crabby Chips. These can be exchanged for prizes on Neopets.com! The number of Chips an item is worth is based on its item type and rarity. You can earn a maximum of 250 per calendar day, resetting at 1AM NST.

There are also neggs and omelettes that are "Bonus" items, and higher rarity neggs that are "Super Bonus" items. These items are marked with an icon in the upper left corner of their image. Although these are worth more points than items of equivalent type/rarity, your daily maximum remains at 250 even if you donate them, so you may not find much advantage in donating them over other items you have surplus of.

Negg items originally available during last year's Festival of Neggs 2025 in-app event were able to be donated for bonus points instead of most omelettes for the first several hours of the event, but the bonuses were updated as above by the evening of March 16th.

Event Points Breakdown

Daily Points Breakdown

Below is how many points you should have after donating the maximum each day. Having less points than what is listed means a missed day at some point.

How to Donate

Simply tap on any item on the lefthand side. You can use the tabs on the left to filter to certain types of items, but cannot sort the list overall. Bonus items will automatically appear at the top.

After tapping an item, you can use the slider to specify an exact quantity to donate, then press the yellow "Add" button.

The item will now appear in a box to the right. The total value of the item(s) selected will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can add additional items, up to 10 unique items at a time, each with any quantity.

When you are satisfied, press the green "Donate" button in the bottom right corner. Your items will be immediately removed from your inventory and will be credited with your Crabby Chips! If you have more than 10 unique items to donate, simply repeat this process multiple times.

If you attempt to donate above the daily maximum, you will receive a warning before proceeding. You can still donate the item(s), but they will be taken and you will not receive extra Crabby Chips. For example, donating 350 worth of items in one batch will consume all of the items, but only award you 250.

Notice this attempted donation was worth 288 points, but the daily limit is only 250 points, so the game provides a warning.

If you reenter the menu after you have donated your daily maximum, it will prevent you from executing any additional donations.

Recommended Donations

The best items to donate are any you simply don't want, especially including Hats, or the following decor and food items which are the most efficient for points requiring the fewest resources to craft:

For this event, the following combos of items total the 250 daily points exactly:

• 7 Common Decor (this actually puts you a bit over, at 280 points)
• 4 Uncommon Omelettes (this actually puts you a bit over, at 260 points)
• 6 Common Decor + 5 Common resources
• 4 Common Decor + 6 bonus Omelettes
• 1 Uncommon Paint Brush or Roller

Milestone Prizes

Upon earning certain set amounts of Crabby Chips, you earn rewards on Neopets.com. You must have NeoPass connected to claim them.

Note that because this event's counter represents Giant Hungry Malevolent Chomby's hit points, it will count down donation points from 4,000 rather than up from 0. The thresholds below represent how much you need to donate to earn them, but they are shown in the interface as their inverse from 4,000.

Milestone prizes will be awarded immediately and automatically after hitting the required thresholds.

Prize Shop

You can exchange your Crabby Chips for both Tales of Dacardia and Neopets.com prizes. To receive the Neopets.com prizes, you must have both your Neopets.com and Tales of Dacardia accounts linked to NeoPass.

The Donation Drive lasts over 16 calendar days. This means you can earn up to 4,000 for free, or up to 8,000 with a booster pass for the full event (see the next section for more info on this). The prize shop contains 7,200 worth of prizes, so not all of these can be obtained without a booster pass.

The prize shop will remain open through the end of the day on March 31st. Any unused Chips will expire at this time.

Neopets.com Prizes

All Neopets.com prizes are limit 1. Unsure which Neopets.com prizes are the best value for your Crabby Chips? Check out our Prize Shop Value Guide.

The Royal Uni Kite was available for the first day and a half, but was removed midday on March 17 and replaced with in-app decor item Butterfly Statue for 20 each and a quantity limit of 3. It was presumably removed because the item was included in the Rare Item Code prize pool for Stained Glass Blind Box Enamel Pins from Hot Topic released around the same time.

Booster Pass

You can double your daily maximum limit from 250 to 500 by purchasing a Booster Pass.

There are two types of Booster Pass. The "1 Day Doubler" costs $2.99 (or local equivalent) and will double your limit for the date of purchase only, resetting at 1AM NST. The "Daily Doubler" costs $14.99 (or local equivalent) and will double your limit every date through the remainder of the event.

Click the white banner in the bottom right to open the Booster Pass purchase menu.

The Donation Drive lasts over 16 calendar days. This means you can earn up to 250 for free, or up to 500 with a booster pass for the full event (see the next section for more info on this). The prize shop contains 8,000 worth of prizes, so not all of these can be obtained without a booster pass.

Pearly Parlour Exclusives

During the event, the Pearly Parlour offered a handful of limited-time exclusive items. It is not known if or when these may retire. Many of the items within the bundles were not available for individual purchase from the Pearly Parlour, only as part of these bundles.
