Life/day update

I haven't killed myself, and work is going somewhat better than I would have hoped, so yay.

Whoever mentioned Neopets on my flist? You're gonna die. :) I had never checked it out before, so yesterday I went to see what was so interesting about it, and somehow I got hooked. It's so silly! But the same thing that gets me about FFXI got me in Neopets: There's stuff to earn! There's stuff to do! The more you do, the more you earn! And oh no! Some people have more than me so I have to do more and get more! (This is me! Aren't I cute as a button? Eh, or maybe it's my pet and not me, I'm not really sure how all this works yet. http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?selected_type=pet&string=ThistleBori2 And no, there was no ThistleBori or ThistleBori1, I just messed up somehow while setting things up.)

...damned work. Thus ends this post! Except one last thing:

Sniper's rings are up to 1.1 million now. I hate SE and FFXI.

Um, hi, I've had you friended for ages but I've rarely (if ever) replied.

I've been on neopets on and off for three years now and I have loads of handy tips.

The best way to keep your pet fed is to put them in the neolodge (http://www.neopets.com/neolodge.phtml), that way they're automatically fed for up to 28 days at a time and it's much cheaper than buying food. If you have less than 3000 neopoints you can also feed them for free at the Soup Kitchen (http://www.neopets.com/soupkitchen.phtml) (do that now, you'll get an avatar). If you want free food there's the Giant Omelette (http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/omelette.phtml) and the Giant Jelly (http://www.neopets.com/jelly/jelly.phtml).

If you want to know anything else feel free to Neomail me, I'm entityx . :)

Thanks for all the info! I found the soup kitchen on my own this morning (and the lady there said I was rather poor, sniffle!). The giant omelette was one of the first things I tried in the game, and I seem to have gotten a rare piece of it? It says "(RARITY 112)" next to the name. I hadn't known about the jelly one, so thanks again!

The rarity and estimated price listed in the item info rarely mean anything, you're usually better off looking things up in the shop wizard if you want to know their value. Omelettes are rarely worth much however, because they're so common.

I just remembered there was something odd about the way Neopets assign rarity.

From http://www.neopianeducator.com/TNEoctober2003.htm#Article ;

The Rarity Index is as follows:

1-70: common items that are easily found in main Neopian shops and given out by random events.
71-84: rare
85-90: very rare
91-95: ultra rare
96-99: super rare
100-104: mega rare
105-119: Special, these items cannot be obtained through the normal shops. Often these are only given out as part of a special offer or from a special area.
120: These are items given out by the Brain Tree when you complete one of his quests.
121-179: Special. This works the same way as the 101-119 rarity items, but these are usually more powerful.
180: Retired. This item will never again be released and its rarity will never be changed from 180.
200: Artifact. These items are usually sold in the Hidden Tower.

Huh, thanks for the info!
