UPDATE, July 11 10:24 AM NST: Right now it looks like users are getting the Devoted Caretaker avatar after 13 shifts total. We'll continue to keep you posted if that changes!

UPDATE, 12:00 PM NST: A new avatar has been popping up over at the NeoHospital! Those that complete 10 ??? volunteer shifts will receive the Devoted Caretaker avatar.

As of this afternoon, the avatar is no longer awarded when 10 volunteer shifts are completed. The original text on the pop-up indicated that the avatar would be available after 12 shifts, so it's possible the avatar has been corrected to 12 instead. We'll have to wait a few more hours to find out!


Make sure you take advantage of the second volunteering slot (open after you read the updated story—see below), so that you can send off two Neopets at once to volunteer!

Text beneath the comic also indicates that the next part of the war component of the plot has expanded with Battle for Brightvale II becoming available. This means a new set of the same opponents can be battled (with 5 waves), and an additional pet can volunteer for a shift at the NeoHospital (for a total of two simultaneously)—but you must read the comic before either expansion is actually available to participate in.

Jellyneo's Void Within plot checklist tool received an update which allows you to custom enter a point value less than the max for certain tasks so you can have an accurate count of your plot points.


You may also adjust the points for any tasks that have you have already marked as complete to add points as you earn them throughout the day or update after the fact.

UPDATE, July 10th: At some point today, TNT added one more bug fix to the list. TNT has fixed the bug that prevents Neomails from showing you your previous message being replied to. We've confirmed that this appears to be a fix going forward, and is not retroactive:

Neomail Replies - This feature broke around the time that Jumpstart took over Neopets. Someone replies to your Neomail, you will be able to see what you originally wrote to them in the response!

Happy Tuesday! TNT has stealthily published a few updates under the release notes today. We wanted to highlight a few of the most notable.

• Permanent Battledome NP Limit Increase: You may have noticed the Battledome's daily Neopoint limit has increased to 50,000 up from the previous 1,500 during the plot. The release notes announce that this is a permanent change, even after the plot is over!
• Dacardia Joins; Everyone Returns: The release notes confirm that Dacardia will be joining as 19th team in the Altador Cup this year, meaning no teams will need to sit out for them to participate. (The notes do not say if this will require a change in the tournament format that has been used for the last several years.)
• Slushie Slinger Colour Bug Fix: Slushie Slinger will have a bug fix to an issue with inconsistent/incorrect slushie colours requested by customers.
• Faster Image Loading: TNT has implemented some changes to how images are served to reduce some slowness in loading them. (We can personally confirm the success of these changes while processing wearable assets over at our Wardrobe!)
• Void Essence Point Corrections: An issue where some users were not properly awarded plot points after collecting void essences has been resolved, and has promised to mass-correct any players already affected.

The release notes also recap many of the newer developments in The Void Within plot, as well as few more miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
