The Neopian Second-Hand Shoppe has opened! It works a bit differently than what you might expect.
We're aware that there are many unobtainable items on Moderneo and we're working to improve that!
Some of which were brought to our attention were Paint Brush Clothing items.
Not only were they unobtainable through the site (bar wishing well) they were also un-tradeable.


Now you can find them stocking in the Second-Hand Shoppe for around 5,000~ NP a piece.
They have also been made tradable to help out those who want to collect them!
Hope you enjoy collecting these items.
Please note we will be tweaking how much gets stocked as right now it seems it only stocks a couple of items at a time.

Sometimes Neopians need to go on a little holiday themselves, but where do they put their ever so needy Kadoaties when they do so?
Well... the Kadoatery of course! This is a lovely public service for those Neopians who need to offload their mewing companions to have them looked after whilst they enjoy their much needed breaks!


The Kadoatery does rely on support from Neopians to account for feeding some of them, though!
With so many mouths to feed they turn to you -- yes, you, to help them make sure these kads are satiated.


Though the Kadoatery struggles with funding to give proper prizes away - they do give some nice trophies out for helping their cause!
You will get to display these pretty trophies on your user lookup, it even shows how many you've fed in total!


That's not all though -- if you are really supportive you will even net yourself a sweet avatar to use on the Neoboards!


We at Moderneopets love to get the community involved, so we even have some custom kadoaties added in based off of cats that our users have either once owned or currently own. If you would like to have a kadoatie added in your pets honour, please visit THIS THREAD and post that you'd like your pet memorialized by filling out the form!

You can find the Katoatery in the Misc tab in Pet Central, or on the world map!

We had to cancel our Patreon around 6 months ago but we're back up on Ko-Fi!
To not step on Neopets toes we are no longer giving out site perks which boost gameplay/give advantages; as honestly that left a bad taste in my mouth anyway.
Those boosts that were given to everyone will remain with everyone, so that's not changing!

Our rule system rework is taking a bit longer than we'd like it too, and we get that some people really want to join.
That's why I've added back in the Silver or Gold subscription = Invite Code if you aren't on our database with that email already.
It's something that was on the Patreon all the time too, and it's something I'm going to be adding back here in the mean time.

I don't advise that you actually support JUST for an invite code -- eventually we'll have a referral system where you can generate a code for your friends every month or so! This is just a bonus for those who want to support the site / those who cannot wait any longer.

Once the rules/infraction system has been implemented we'll be working on the referral system which much like other sites will let users generate an invite code every month (might extend it to be once every X months if its a bit too much), so this Ko-Fi perk isn't really a deal-breaker unless you want in right now.

Either way, I appreciate your support very much as it helps me pay the server bills, domain costs, backups and other miscellaneous fees.
I will be upfront and say anything left over is essentially a donation to myself to just help with my survival, so if that's a deal breaker for your support I understand entirely, I'm just going to be open about how the money is being used.

If you want to support the website and myself please Check our the Ko-Fi here!!

Thanks again; and I hope to be posting more updates and fun things as I'm getting back into the swing of everything once more, so stay tuned!

Swooping in to say: Happy Pride, MNeopians!!

We've been hard at work behind the scenes, not only getting organized, but putting together some more of those delicious alternative colors for you to enjoy.

This is only batch one of two so make sure to keep your peepers peeled for more Friends to release later this month.

Introoooduccccing…







But that’s not all -
We have some more friends from last year’s release joining the fray!




Admin can be seen donating 30 to 60 of these capsules each hour to the aurora express for the rest of this month.
In it, you will find 2 random NC Items and a chance at three bonus prize pools!

BEFORE YOU GO…

We also need your help with a little something…


We’re stuck on what to name this chocolatey little alt - why don’t you lend us your thoughts here in exchange for a cool, totally legitimately generated 25k neopoints?

Fyora's Festive Faerie Discount
T'is the season for generosity and ... shopping for fun things!
Because of this, Fyora is giving every neopian full view of her stock today.
If that's not good enough, she's even thrown in a MASSIVE 60% discount.
You can even stack your coupon on top for yet another 10% discount!!


Hope you have a lovely day today and enjoy yourself to the fullest - we have some more treats for you to enjoy though before you go...
This is going to stretch the page a bit...



Health Update and a Thank You!

One health issue after another has left much to be desired this year; from wrist surgeries to breathing issues.
I'm still seeking treatment and diagnosis for the breathing issues but things are taking time.
Thank you for your continued patience!

A goal that I'm setting is to try and make the site more operational without my input - which means I'm going to be looking into the possibility of pet releases to the site without needing the migration files for the future, so once we have a new art director they can keep the ball rolling without my ill ass needing to complete some steps each time.

We had some set backs during the year but are getting re-organised again and hopefully you'll be seeing more updates from now on!
Other than that, thank you again for your support and continued enjoyment of the site.

The long awaited Skritterball has arrived! They've set up a nice spot and built lots of spare goals and created lots of spare equipment for when stingers accidentally pierce things!

This update completely replaces the old tomb - giving it a restructured and changed prize pool (some of the older things are still in there, and a lot of the older rewards have been completely changed to new items, which you will be able to read in the patch notes which will come out soon after this!)


This new daily comes with not only these new goodies but also a new site theme created by Star and a new avatar courtesy of Judas!

Along side this, due to Geraptiku being a city of petpets I thought it more fitting to have the main treasure contain a petpet paint brush instead of a regular brush. So instead of getting a "random spooky paint brush" upon winning the grand prize -- you will get any random petpet paint brush!

What YOU could win!

As usual this update wouldn't be possible without the hard work of our lovely neopians - a lot of which contributed to this update!

For updated items the credits will be on the items search information page!

We're back again like promised with a bunch more recolours for you!
There are a couple of new alternatives such as Egg and Candy Floss as well as filling out the rest of the missing pets on others!

Remember the scientist is giving free alternatives for July as well, so now is the time to make them!

Here are some of the new pets:











As well as the new...





Some older alternative colours have been added such as cantaloupe, topaz and other missing pets.
Please check the credits below for all the new colours!
(If we listed all the individual alt pictures here there would be hundreds of images!)

The cogs have been turning in the background as we get things back up and running, and we have 9 New Alternative Colours for you all to enjoy! This is the first batch - with more coming out on the 15th!

Due to this taking a bit longer this time around, we've extended the free alternatives for July as well!

Here are the new alternatives and their colour counterparts:



















(If we listed all the individual alts here there would be hundreds of images!)
We hope you enjoy them!!

Alongside this update you may notice that the Yumack and Elephante released are different!
The Yumack base has been changed due to the OG artists request and was remade by DairyDearie.
The Elephante base needed a bit of a glowup and makeover which was done by Doki.
Hope you enjoy the changes :)

Strolling through the streets of Neopia Central, you hear a faint chugging noise above you. Curious about the sound, you look up and see a colorful trail in the sky. How odd.


The Aurora Express has arrived in Neopia! During holidays and special events, the train will stockpile gifts for Neopians to collect instead of sending them to the Money Tree. It will even drop gifts randomly to Neopians throughout the event's duration. However, there is a cap of 500 items at a time in the Express. If this cap is reached, no more items will be added on the hour to prevent an overflow of event items and capsules.

That's right - no more using up your money tree grabs on event items and having to decide from users generous donations or the event items. You can have the best of both worlds now! Even once you've hit your cap you'll still have a slow trickle of event items raining down from the sky!

If you wish to find the Aurora Express you can see it flying/hovering around Terror Mountain in the explore page, or find a quick link in pet central in the Dailies tab next to Money Tree and Rubbish Dump.

The king of all petpets arrives in Moderneopia -- slumbering all day. There is however one hour a day that he can be woken. If he's in a good mood he will grant you anything from items to map pieces and if you're lucky -- a petpet paint brush!!



If you wake him on the wrong side of the bed however... he may just try to eat your petpet! Don't worry though, he tends to burp them back out!


The Turmaculus times won't match Retail however here's a brief description on how the times cycle to help you lovely Neopians figure out the timings better once you start getting the turmac rolling;

Every day the next time will be set to either 5 or 6 hours ahead of the 12 hour format of the current time.
Say the Turmaculus was awake today at 3 pm (15:00) - the next day he could be awake at either:

- 8 am/pm
- 9 am/pm

Hope that helps you nudge the king awake and claim your rewards!
