A new ship has docked in New Maraqua - A pirate by the name of Grim has got his eyes set on the underwater vortex, where true treasures lie in wait, and Neopians foolish enough to readily dispose of them!

You see, Grim doesn't like gold. He doesn't like shiny things. He likes what other people dare call "fishing junk". It fuels his existence and he decided to even make Neopoints by selling that junk back to the same people stupid enough to throw it away in the first place, ingenious right?!


He has a hoard of treasures he has found all across Neopia, namely a bunch of Golden Shells. He gives one as a gift for each treasure he receives. How does he acquire the treasures? Well this little Motere is so quick on his feet; the moment he sees someone try to throw away or donate any "fishing junk" to the tree, he snags them up instantly, giving a shell in exchange.


There's a certain deep sea scavenger who loves all things shiny and pearlescent - she recently saw an anchor dock outside of her dwelling and upon hearing the rumours of a pirate who is throwing out golden shells to everyone; has quickly set up a new shop, aptly called "Pearl Paradise".

Along side her scavenging hobby, she has a "hobby" of taking in dull pearls and painstakingly cleaning and polishing them until brand new! She believes that everyone deserves to be accentuated by the beautiful bounty of the sea.



Her way of getting these shiny new trinkets; Well to sell off her scavenging hoards of course! She has plenty of rare and interesting things she's found on the sea floor and is ready to sell them to YOU! Not for Neopoints though - the only thing she's after is those Golden Shells the silly pirate is just throwing away.

As a little gift to people who shop there, and to get her name spread across a bit better, she is also selling her refurbished and cleaned pearl necklaces for cheap! Her dream of everyone adorning those pearls might become reality at this point!!

Some of you around the world will be enjoying a Holiday named Thanksgiving today - and we've decided to join on in the fun and appreciation! Thank you all for your continued support and love for the site, and we hope you enjoy these Autumnal gifts to help lead you into the winter time!


A Thanksgiving feast wouldn't be as special without those lovely fruit and veg, and in turn we're releasing 3 Unconverted Chia Colours AND 3 Custom Chia Colours! I'm sure they're as delicious as they look! You'll be able to find the Magical Chia Pops for these through the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop if you're lucky, or be given to them by a friendly Chia through random events! We're not done with the delicious treats though, what a sad day it would be without dessert!


How delightful! Jelly and custard pets here to help hit that sweet craving after such a savoury meal! There's even Flan - a new alt colour for Custard which no doubt will see more love in the future!!


... It seems like some pets got confused when I said "Dessert" -- no matter; these lovely pets are here to stay and they can join in on the festivities - there's enough to go round! We have 2 new Desert pets for you to enjoy as well as a bunch of Cream and Orange additions! Seems like they got a bit confused when it comes to the names... they do sound edible enough, so I understand.


Spotted has a brand new alt for those who like a more natural, semi pigmented look for their pets! Piebald shows how many pets would look with patterns of unpigmented spots over them! There's seven to choose from straight away, with more no doubt coming in the future. Best get saving those spotted brushes! Hope you didn't throw any into the cooking pot recently...


Some pets don't seem all too keen on family gatherings and have decided to take the more stealthy approach to avoiding them. Some even have Natural camouflage variants for you to enjoy... if you can find them, that is!


Though many are celebrating family and friends, appreciation and love... there still lurks some dark energy in the shadows. The Wraith colour gets two new alternatives - Jack o' Lantern and Will o' Wisp! With a new addition of a fiery pet - the Motere - to its ranks!

There you'll be able to find out about all the delights and terrors in store for you...

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?! If you do, then you're about to be overjoyed at the fact that Three new Scratchcard Kiosks have opened up throughout Neopia! For a fee you will get a card which could give you great rewards (...or junk) - all you need is to grab a coin and scratch away.

Each Kiosk has its own Neopoint Price per ticket, amount you can scratch a day (shared between them) and pool of prizes and jackpots!
