Bonus Prizes
The daily bonus prizes returned for the twelfth year in the format of a clickable Christmas Aisha named Reina, who popped in beside the calendar each day. Clicking on Reina will award you a random Neopoint item once per day.
I'm here to spread holiday cheer!
If you miss a day, just like the Advent itself, you may not go back to claim your missed prize.
As December 2nd arrived, we noticed a significant drop in the number of new Seasonal Attack Peas showing up in Neopia on the Trading Post and in Auctions, even with Neopians being able to claim Day 2's prize. Given the conversation around the SAP being included, we assumed that TNT removed it from the prize pool. At 2:01 AM NST on the 2nd, we added a note below that we believed the SAP was no longer awarded.
Later that morning, we began seeing new users posting SAPs on the Trading Post and posting screenshots of them receiving a SAP from Reina. By 7:16 AM, we had more certainty that SAP was available, but likely at a lower drop rate from the previous day, and removed the note from our guide below.
We apologize for the confusion our notes may have caused, and we hope that TNT may address what was actually changed with the prize pool so we can post the most accurate information.
A full list of possible prizes is below:
Dialogue
New this year, on specific days throughout the event, dialogue between Reina and Orion would pop up as part of an ongoing storyline leading up to 2024's The Void Within plot.
December 6th
Orion: Reina, please we must stop the Advent Calendar!
Reina: Hold up! Orion? What are you doing here?
Orion: I know we don't know each other well, but this is important! Something terrible is about to happen!
Reina: You aren't making any sense. Why do we need to stop the Advent Calendar?
Orion: There isn't any time, we need to prepare as soon as possible. I... I don't know how I am seeing these things but it can't be good!
Reina: Take a deep breath, Orion! Now please start over. I don't understand what you are talking about.
Orion: I'm sorry. A... a few days ago, I was consulting my cards as I walked when... a tender and resonant plucking came to me, and moments later I tripped over this Lyre in the snow! Since then I have had terrible visions. Visions that I fear will soon impact all of Neopia greatly!
Reina: Orion, you look like you haven't slept in days. I admire your determination, but I think you need to go home and get some rest.
Orion: Please Reina, you must promise me you'll stop the Advent Calendar. Now is not the time for fun and games, something horrible is coming to Neopia, something we must prepare for.
Reina: For your own sake, go get some sleep. You look unwell! If you are still worried, we can talk more about this later.
December 15th
Orion: Reina, what are you doing? You promised me you'd stop the Advent Calendar!
Reina: Orion, you're back? Did you get any sleep? You still look exhausted!
Orion: I... I tried, but the sound of the Lyre torments me every night, never allowing me a moment of silence... wait that isn't the point! This all needs to stop right away, you promised!
Reina: I didn't promise anything, Orion. I'm sorry for what you are going through, but Neopians rely on the Advent Calendar to bring them warmth and cheer during the most frigid time of year. I can't shut it all down over nightmares.
Orion: They aren't just nightmares!! They are premonitions! We all need to prepare! Please just listen to me!
Reina: Orion stop! The Advent Calendar simply means too much. I can't just shut it down without proof.
Orion: Fine, you want proof. I'll get you proof!
This dialogue began a series of visions as the daily advent animation, on December 26th, December 27th, December 28th, and December 29th.
December 26th
Orion: I have found you a way to show you my visions! The Lyre... it... if...
Reina: Orion, this has gone too far!
Orion: These may be the final days of the Advent Calendar, but I need to show Neopia the visions that keep tormenting me. I don't know why they are coming to me, but I know they are important... somehow.
Reina: You really are serious about this, aren't you?
Orion: Please Reina, this is the only thing I can think to do.
Reina: Okay... how can you show us?
Orion: The Lyre! I discovered that when I play it, those who hear it share in my visions. Before, they came to me choppy and distorted... but with this, I can see the visions clear as day. And I can share them with you all as well! Please just listen!
December 30th
Reina: That... that was...
Orion: I told you I'm not crazy!
Reina: We need to do something! We need to tell someone!
Queen Fyora: That someone is already here.
Orion: Queen Foyra! But how did you...
Queen Fyora: That instrument you found has been emitting an incredible amount of unknown magic. I've been investigating it for weeks and your prolonged playing led me right to its source.
Orion: Unknown magic?
Queen Fyora: Yes, you seem to have stumbled upon a powerful artefact imbued with magic even I am unfamiliar with. Yet another troubling development...
Reina: Does that mean the Lyre is dangerous? Should we even have played it?! What if-
Queen Fyora: Easy Reina. You were right to let Orion share his visions. It's too soon to tell what exactly this artefact is capable of, but playing it only seemed to clarify and project the visions Orion has been experiencing.
Reina: Phew! What a relief... and here I was worried I brought doom to Neopia after just my third time organising the Advent Calendar!
Queen Fyora: Nonsense! You handled the situation quite well. I have no doubt your grandmother will be proud to hear of the compassionate Aisha you've become.
Reina: Oh! I- um- well thank you Queen Fyora... That's too kind.
Queen Fyora: I owe you both an apology as well. I'm sorry it took me so long to find the source of this strange magic. It seems to have taken quite the toll on you already, Orion.
Orion: Yes, well, I suppose I have been better...
Queen Fyora: Come, you and I must discuss this all at once. After we find a way to get you some sleep that is!
