Can you believe we're already almost done with the cup? No matter how you feel about the new format this year, know we are on the home stretch.
Now that the brackets have been decided, you will see if your team is playing for 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, or 16-20. Or if you didn't join a team, you can just keep playing for prize shop points against the practice team. Remember, since it is so short if you are aiming for the achievements the latest you can start Hat Trick is Sunday.
The Trading Post now tracks the number of lots you have and the Neopoints you have earned for you! We have updated our guide.
The Companion App keeps adding stuff! Our guide is updated reflecting the latest additions of the Healing Springs and Tyrannian Omelette as well as the super cool Premium features that go along with them. We're also working on revamping the guide to make it less long and thus easier to navigate, so check back soon.
As a reminder, if you haven't yet you can see how well you did in Kiko Match Madness! But don't worry, you do not have to claim your prizes, they were already automatically awarded at the conclusion of the event.
The Altador Cup Prize Shop has had some tinkering. The Premium prize Layton Vickles Graded Altador Cup I Rookie Card is now limited to two redemptions. Wan Dirx Graded Altador Cup I Rookie Card has now increased to two redemptions. Additionally, as of yesterday the Slush for Fun achievement has dropped down to 500 points, which should make it easier to obtain.
And, finally, the Void Within's Chapter Replay Fortune Cookie has been released! Upon purchasing one, you will get to pick one chapter of the Void Within to replay which includes daily activities such as hospital shifts. You can also grab your daily void essences, but they appear to be different for everyone so you will have to find them yourself. The community boss and the time sensitive achievements will not be available, however. These will count for plot points and you do have the ability to replay chapters multiple times, so you can keep grinding away for a top trophy or simply for more items if you are willing to get cookies which come in packs of 8 and 15 as well. If you need help with any activities, check out our guide!
It should also be noted that yesterday plot points were added to trophies that were earned via the Chapter Meter Energy Booster. This was initially said to not count towards your trophy score. At this time there has been no announcement by TNT so it is not known if this was intentional or something went wrong when preparing for the cookie. TBD! Edit: in the Release Notes verified this was intentional due to a number of factors.
There is another new FREE Birthday Cake in the NC Mall: NC Mall 19th Interdimensional Kitty Cake. And because it is a NC item, that means you can collect it on both your main and side accounts!
In addition to to receiving a new NC item, feeding this item to your pet will also make it gain +4 Strength points.
Welcome to round 2! Teams have been split in half based on Monday's performance. Tomorrow will be another bye day for everyone. As of today if you are in the "Mid Bracket" the highest your team can place is 11th and if you are in the "Upper-Mid Bracket" the lowest your team can place is 10th. These two brackets will split in half again by Thursday and will lock in the brackets for 1st through 5th place, 6th through 10th place, 11th through 15th place, and 16th through 20th place. And, if you are keeping up with the math, yes that does mean each team will get one more bye day during the Cup.
Additionally a new avatar was discovered today for completing all 5 achievements in the Altador Cup. Keep in mind that for "Sports Fan" and "Hat Trick" you need to meet the minimum score requirements for each game. Also keep in mind that "Hat Trick" requires you to meet the minimum score for 3 consecutive days, meaning Sunday is the last day you can start it.

Hey everyone! Are you as excited about the Altador Cup as we are? We've got some fantastic brand new userlookups to share—one for each team! With the Altador Cup in full swing, it’s the perfect time to show off your team spirit with these amazing new layouts! Check out these previews that are sure to get you pumped!
P.S. We know there have been some issues saving your userlookups since the mobile update. A quick fix is to go to the profile edit page from the old site. Just visit the ‘edit profile’ option under the ‘my account’ button on any of the unconverted site pages, like your neomail page. This should help you save your changes without a hitch. Happy editing and enjoy the new look!
The games are back! And a little different. As a reminder it is only going to run 9 days with 2 bye days. Teams will be split into groups based upon how they play the first few days which will ultimately determine how high or low they can possibly place, so play with purpose if you want your team to win. The prize shop is available now and you will be able to buy things from today until the next cup.
The points break down is as follows:
- Yooyuball: 14 points per win and 6 points per draw or loss, with a minimum of 1 goal.
- Slushie Slinger: 10 points per game, with a minimum of 270 points.
- Make Some Noise: 3 points per game, with a minimum of 2700 points.
- Shootout Showdown: 3 points per game, with a minimum of 1 goal (but make sure 10 seconds have passed).
- Obstacle Course Caper: 5 points per game, with a minimum of 1000 points.
There seems to be a daily cap for prize shop points per day for each game, but there does not appear to be any overall max score (other than maxing every game, of course). The numbers are:
- Yooyuball: 36 games.
- Slushie Slinger: 53 games.
- Make Some Noise: 242 games.
- Shootout Showdown: 242 games.
- Obstacle Cource Caper: 75 games.
It also appears that a retired avatar is back in rotation! We are seeing reports of people earning it, but we have yet to confirm how.
Altador Cup – Unknown, but returned in Altador Cup XX.
Previously awarded when visting the Altador Prize Shop if you participated in one of the matches during the Altador Cup.
Note: The avatar was not available between Altador Cup V through XIX.

TNT is working hard around the clock! The latest page to be updated suddenly is the Auction House!
This update features some QOL enhancements as promised by the recent email, including:
- The ability to cancel auctions.
- A "guild members" only function, which works similar to neofriends only.
- 200 million start prices and increases.
- Allowing for more items to be auctioned at a time.
- The ability to start auctions from Auction House.
- The ability to get neomail alerts.
- And, of course, more anti-botting measures.
Happy auctioning!
A reminder that today is the last day you can sign up for your preferred team as tomorrow the games will begin! To sign up, head on over to the Altador Cup hub and select a team from the map. You will be prompted multiple times if you're sure this is the team for you. The page will load with your team displayed rather than the map when you've successfully signed up for a team.
If time has passed and you did not get a chance to select a team, not to worry! This year, you can still earn points from playing the Altador Cup games and completing achievements to earn prizes through the Challenge Track. Check out our Challenge Track guide to see what prizes you can earn along with information about the purcahsed track, Champion's Track, too!
Be sure to check out SunnyNeo's Altador Cup coverage guide for all detailed game guides, exquisite graphics, and all documented info for this year's AC!
Every summer, we often need a refresher of our beloved traditional games. This week, we spent loads of time acquainting ourselves with the classic Altador Cup games: Shootout Showdown, Make Some Noise, Slushie Slinger, and Yooyuball. Why? To put together new and improved game guides for each game, of course. You can find the game guides (and more) on our newly revamped Altador Cup coverage guide.
In case you missed it: we also have a brand new game guide of the new AC game, Obstacle Course Caper, released from the other day. Happy gaming, all!
Woohoo!
Happy Flotsam Day! Flotsam can now be painted 25th Anniversary! The Serpentine Flotsam outfit can be found at Cog's Togs. Our Rainbow Pool database has been updated!

Hello Neopians! The other day, TNT updated the shop feature on-site to their new mobile-friendly layout. This had, in turn, made our shop layouts unusable.
We are excited to announce that we've been busy converting our original shop layouts to fit the new system! We began this process by converting our newly Altador Cup Team Spirit shop layout series (released the other day) just in time for the games! Show your spirit today!
FYI: the previews may look slightly different from what you will see in your shop.
Additionally, we are thrilled to release *new* Team Gallery layouts for you to showcase!
To find both Altador Cup shops and gallery layouts, head on over to the AC Graphics Hub!
If you head over to the Altador Cup hub, then check your preferences, you may notice you have a new avatar. Or not, if you are loyal to your Altador Cup team.
Altador 2026 - Neopia Central – Awarded for playing for Neopia Central in the Altador Cup.
Note: You will only be able to get the team avatar of the team you joined. To learn more about the Altador Cup take a look at our Altador Cup Coverage.

As a reminder, we are looking for a seasonal volunteer to assist with updating guides and general daily coverage. To give you an idea what we mean check out our past coverage.

Today TNT announced an all new monthly social media contest: #NEOPETS.
Our Creative Contest Guide has been updated to include some detailed information.
The good news is you do not need social media to enter or even share your social media handle; rather the main contest page on the portal will link to a Google Form (see July's here) which does mean you need a Google account for now at least. If you want to be credited it is totally optional. Note this runs similar to Art Gallery in that TNT is not taking collaborations but notes they may in the future. July will also be unique in that they are taking in person pieces for the popup Neo York shop if you are able to schedule a drop off before the event.
For now, check out a preview of the all new avatar and font!
unknown – Win the #NEOPETS Contest.

This morning TNT updated the Secret Lab.
And this afternoon they updated the Battledome.
At this time the Battledome is a little glitchy, especially on mobile. The box to battle does not appear for many players, but if you are on desktop you can move your mouse around until you find where it should be. Customisation also appears to disappear.
