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 

WeeWoo

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 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  We know many of you neomailed in that our old guide was out of date and that the rewards didn't reflect correctly.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.

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!

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.
