A few quick notices about The Neopian Times
A few weeks ago the Neopian Times Submissions page broke briefly for a about week (was off and on as they were fixing it, I had a few tickets in and they were escalated further etc...) and you wouldnt get a error/success message when submitting.
That has been fixed for a few weeks however it seems that it is not enforcing widths on comics.
Thanks to a friendly user on the boards please use these guidelines in order to NOT stretch the Neopian Times layout
Listed Limit: 470px
Largest without layout shifting: 516px
Largest without layout breaking: 540px
There also seems to be an issue with Custom Thumbnails. If your submission requires a custom thumbnail, you can currently link the image somewhere as TNT is currently Hotlinking.
Hopefully they will fix soon.
Thanks for understanding!
The new Burst of Spring Mystery Capsule is now for sale in the NC Mall. Opening it will give you one exclusive spring related item as well as a chance of recieving another exclusive spring related bonus item. We have updated our NC Mall section with this new capsule and the items it gives out. Go check it out!
Burst into spring indeed!
We still need a lot of models for the items from this capsule. If you have them, why not help us by going over to our modelling page?
AAA and Abigail have returned with the Daily Dare! Challenge them everyday until May 15th to proof you are a master gamer as well!
For more information about the DD, prizes and game tips take a look at our Daily Dare guide. The NC part has been updated now too.
I'll get that score no matter what!
A new round of skirmish is about to start. Visit the Battleground of the Obelisk until the end of Wednesday to choose your faction. Competing in this round will be the Seekers, the Awakened and The Sway.
For more information take a look at our Skirmish Battles guide.
The long wait is finally over. We've finished our Faerie Quest Page Revamp! We know many of you neomailed in that our old guide was out of date and that the rewards didn't reflect correctly. Well now they should be accurate. We've changed the setup a bit. Basically instead of having a TON of information for you to scroll through in order to get to where you need, we've got a picture of each faerie you can click on to go right to her reward as well as items she asks for. If you aren't sure about what Faerie Quests are, how you get them, or other such general questions, feel free to click the "?" image to find out more. We made this its own section as well so you don't have to scroll past it constantly. We've also merged the Fountain Faerie guide with this one instead of it being separate. We also hope to move the Crafting Faerie quests here in the future. Stay tuned for another page like this for all other quests such as Snow Faerie, Illusen, Jhudora, and the others.
We hope you find this new setup much easier to navigate, and more informative. If you get a quest that asks for something not listed on our guide, feel free to Contact Us.
Now you'll have the proper knowledge of what reward you will earn for completing each faerie's quest this event.
The daily Faerie Quests are back! Make sure to visit everyday for your daily quest and free item. Fyora also promised and extra prize for those that don't miss any days. The event will run until May 3rd.
Delina also came up with new Crafting Faerie items. Check our Crafting Faerie guide to see what items you can recieve from her.
During this event, the NC Mall has Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies on sale for 50NC instead of their usual 100NC.
Get questing!
It seems the plot may be coming to an end!
The battle has been raging on for a while now, and it seems the fog is finally settling. The Resistance will be disbanding soon, so if you'd like to earn a name for yourself with them, you'd better rush to complete any tasks that may be pending before the time runs out! |
Visit our Wraith Resurgance Guide if you need help in completing any of the steps!
This month's Premium Bonus Collectible has been sent out: Premium Collectible: Light Up Rustic Background Item. Check out our Premium guide for this and all previous Bonus Collectibles.
Our Rainbow Pool is missing a ton of pet previews. We are reaching out to you once again for assistance on getting these filled in. If you have any of the following pets, please enter your pet in our Model page as needed. The page will say it doesn't know which gender it is, but it is set up to have us approve possible previews that come in. So you don't have to contact us or figure out how to obtain the PNG image anymore. Simply enter your pets name in our model page and we can approve them. We appreciate everyones help!

Today is last day of the Negg Hunt, so make sure to stop by the Festival of Neggs!
If you need help with todays clue, or are missing any previous neggs, check out our Festival of Neggs guide.
Gotta collect 'em all!
Mysterious Magical Neggs Glitch: If you got all 5 prizes for the Sparkly Magical Negg the bonus is glitched where you get back your Sparkly Magical Negg.
It turns out there is a new plot update. First, Fyora has recovered in the Infirmary, and now she has headed to the Clearing where appearently something is happening...
After reading this dialogue, to safe Neopia from impending doom, the next plot step can be found at the The Forgotten Graveyard. Here, you will have to collect all the scattered pieces of rock (there are 29 in total, and some of them can be hard to find). Once you have done so, you must return to the Clearing where you will have to click on the stone symbol. A small video will appear and more text will show up.
You really thought you had seen the last of me, right?
Edit: Our guides for the Forgotten Graveyard and the Clearing have now been updated.
The fighting for the current skirmish round at the Battleground of the Obelisk has begun.
You can now battle to support your faction until the end of Sunday.
For more information take a look at our Skirmish Battles guide.
Let's go!
New Dyeworks have been released today and we are happy to annouce that after a long and tireless wait, we finally have a Dyeworks Guide! Check out all the newest items and their colors!

A new round of battles is about to begin. You can now visit the Battleground of the Obelisk to choose your faction. Fighting in this week will be the Brute Squad, the Awakened and the Order of the Red Erism.
For more information take a look at our Skirmish battles guide.
If you haven't noticed, The Neopian Pound adoptions are back! And if you didn't even notice it was gone in the first place, then ignore this and carry on!
On Friday, MME23 morphed into its final stage and bonus items were given out! Visit our MME Guide for more information about these items and previous MMEs!
The MME seems to have a few flaws in it regarding being able to be customized. :( Hopefully TNT fixes this ASAP!
