Skeleton Warlord's Donation Dome
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 December 15, 2025 and runs through January 7, 2026.
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 325 per calendar day, resetting at 12AM NST.

There are also omelettes that are "Bonus" items. These items are marked with a 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 325 even if you donate them, so you may not find much advantage in donating them over other items you have surplus of.

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 325.
Notice this attempted donation was worth 340 points, but the daily limit is only 325 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:
Simple Fence 15
Simple Log 15
Apple Omelette 20
Appriberry Omelette 20
Seaweed Omelette 20
For this event, the following combos of these items total the 325 daily points exactly:
19 Decor + 2 Omelettes
15 Decor + 5 Omelettes
11 Decor + 8 Omelettes
7 Decor + 11 Omelettes
3 Decor + 14 Omelettes
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 Skeleton Warlord's hit points, it will count down donation points from 3,000 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 3,000.
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 24 calendar days. This means you can earn up to 7,800 for free, or up to 15,600 with a booster pass for the full event (see the next section for more info on this). The prize shop contains 15,600 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 January 7th. 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.
You can double your daily maximum limit from 325 to 650 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 12AM 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 24 calendar days. This means you can earn up to 7,800 for free, or up to 15,600 with a booster pass for the full event (see the next section for more info on this). The prize shop contains 15,600 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. None of the items within the bundles were available for individual purchase from the Pearly Parlour, only as part of these bundles—although some were previously available individually during prior events, questlines, or other means.
During the event, two new Crabby Capsules were introduced at the Pearly Parlour with new limited-time exclusive items. Upon release they were available through January 31, 2026.
The Void Within plot is now on hiatus for the holidays. We currently expect it to return in early 2026. Catch up on all that's happened so far on our plot guide:
