Welcome to Jellyneo.net!

An update to the Neopets site redesign has gone live! You can read the full Release Notes, but here's an overview:

1) The inventory page joins the beta.
Your item inventory page is now available in beta. It includes a new tabbed view to allow you to filter your inventory by item type. The release notes also claim that sorting options are available, but we don't see them as of writing.


If you have more than one of a certain item in your inventory, those will now "stack" and show a bubble with how many you have. (Similar to how trophies "stack" on your userlookup with a x2 multiplier.)

When clicking on item in your inventory, a dialog box pops up, similar to before:


One very nice change here is that this item info window does not open a new window, which will be convenient for mobile users and desktop users won't have to worry about losing the pop-up among different windows.

Unfortunately, using an item still requires a page refresh, but perhaps that will be done away with down the road:

We know you’d prefer not to deal with a full page refresh to update your inventory every time you’ve used an item. Unfortunately, we just couldn’t make that happen right now. As with all features, we’ll be looking at your feedback to make any further adjustments down the line.

The next release of the site redesign is slated to include the Neopian Bank, and in the process TNT plans on making withdrawal limits more clear, along with adding support for non-binary gender options.

Happy almost October! Jellyneo's Fourteenth Annual Halloween Costume Contest is now open for entries! We wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare your costumes, so you have from now until October 7th at 11:59PM NST to submit your pet dressed up for Halloween.

Just like last year, we will be accepting as many entries as we can for round one of voting. (Barring any rules violations of course, and we also won't be accepting 50 vampires, so be creative!) 75 of the top rated pets from round one will move on to round two, and from there the top 30 will compete for a gold trophy.

For a full list of rules and dates, please see our Costume Contest '20 page. And then start dressing up your pet! (There are no new rule changes from last year.)

As a warning to everyone planning on submitting: like we said above, we will only be accepting, at the most, 1-2 variations of a particular costume. In other words, only about 1-2 vampires, only 1-2 Ednas, etc. So if you'd like a better chance of getting in, make a unique, but still recognizable, costume!

(Before submitting, be sure to check out the rules!)

TNT member Gutterfoot has appeared for a quick "AMA" session on the r/neopets Reddit Discord.

A couple of days ago another new update for the Open Beta on Android in Island Builders was launched. iOS remains on the old version in Closed Beta.

As with the last patch, there are only some minor fixes - you will find some previously broken Happiness Stretch Goals are now working.

A new re-release mystery capsule has debuted in the NC Mall! This capsule includes items from the long retired JubJub Power Bounce game:
