Tangor's Workshop

Moltara is home to a few special varieties of Petpet. These can only be created by collecting materials from around Moltara City and taking them to Tangor's Workshop, where he will fashion them into a shiny new Petpet for you. If you like, he will even combine multiple Moltaran Petpets to make a new Petpet or a rare item!

Do you like to tinker as much as I do? Come on in!

Materials

In order to create anything at Tangor's workshop, you'll need the appropriate materials to work with.

What to Look For

There are four Petpet materials:

How to Obtain the Materials

The Scrap Metal and Stone is from a random event which can normally occur anywhere in Moltara, although it's currently not active.

The Shiny Obsidian and Miscellaneous Gears, however, are retrievable from specific places. In the screenshot below, the Obsidian Quarry is outlined in blue, while the eight possible gear locations are circled in green. When the gears appear on the map, click on them to receive your Miscellaneous Gears.

Only 1 Shiny Obsidian may be collected per day.

Worm Quest

In order to get your hands on some Red Moltite, you will need to complete a Moltara worm quest.

• Visit Lampwyck's Lights Fantastic. You will receive an Empty Lantern in a random event.
• You can now collect worms on both Moltara maps, keeping in mind refreshing is required. Click on the worm to add it to your inventory. The worms change for each user every 5 minutes by clock time (:05, :10, etc) so the process is somewhat time-sensitive. If you do not click on the worms by the time the next 5-minute window starts, you will most likely not collect anything (worms tend to not stick in one spot time after time.)
• Whilst they are in your inventory, worms behave in the same way as other items. That is, they can be stolen by the Pant Devil or fall prey to unfortunate random events and mishaps at any one of Neopia's many wheels. Fear not though, if you lose a worm it will reappear in its original spot for you to collect it again (thanks to Sarah for letting us know about this).
• Additionally, the Black and Rainbow Worms will each only appear about five to ten times each day. The number of instances of appearance and the times are different for each account and the only sure way to find out is to refresh the map until they appear; however, these times will not change once you have discovered them, so be sure to note your rare worm times.

There are ten different-coloured worms to find; you must collect all of them.

• When you have found all ten worms, click on the lantern in your inventory and choose the 'fill it with worms' option; the lantern will become a Brightly Lit Lantern.
• Enter the Dark Cave, located right of The Gilded Page on the Moltara Caves map. After working your way through the cave (see below), you will be able to collect the Red Moltite. Once you have done so your worms will grow tired and dim, preventing you from collecting more.
• Return to Lampwyck's Lights Fantastic. The shopkeeper will award you a Friendly Glowing Lantern, which is wearable.
• If you wish to collect more Red Moltite, however, you will need to repeat the entire worm-finding process. Note that you only receive the Friendly Glowing Lantern the first time you return to Lampwyck, after that he'll just offer to take care of your worms. Subsequently the worm quest can be completed once daily.

The Dark Cave

Recently it was discovered that there is, in fact, rhyme and reason to the myriad paths one can follow though the Caves in order to find that elusive Red Moltite. It's all to do with the mysterious caption underneath the first picture you encounter upon entering the caves.

Each of the captions corresponds to one specific path through the caves. These do not change. Spot the caption and you can easily make your way through the caves and find that moltite!

Many thanks to nyllyn2 for the directions.

How to Make a Petpet

When you have collected the necessary materials, take them to Tangor's Workshop in Moltara City.

Click on the appropriate material to give it to Tangor. Note you can only choose one item at a time.

When you have chosen all the required materials, click the 'Give these items to Tangor' button.

The new petpet will now appear in your inventory.

Magma Pool Permanent Access Tie-In

In the Fall of 2020, there was a push from users to try to discover the secret to unlocking permanent access to the Magma Pool before Adobe Flash support was set to be discontinued in February 2021. Neopets staffer van Doodle left a series of clues throughout his account, and when translated and assembled, they formed a poem. The third and fourth of the seven verses are:

a love that strong, my dear companion
build it piece by piece
for only through true dedication
will it never cease

on your journey you may find
the sunset fade to night
but know that you are never lost
for i'm your guiding light

While unconfirmed, it's currently believed that these verses mean that both completing the worm quest and building a petpet at Tangor's Workshop are two of the assumed five requirements for becoming "well-versed in the ways of Moltara" to gain permanent access to the Magma Pool.
