Getting back on your feet: Earning NPs

• One of the most common questions on the sub is about making NP. With the inflation/fluctuation of prices, and daunting price figures (like the Secret Lab Map), this can seem hard. There are plenty of ways you’ll be earning, saving, and spending. Also here are the fun results from an old Strawpoll of how NeoRedditors earn Neopoints.

1. Dailies, of course! Here are a couple listings from TDN's Dailies Page, JN's Custom Dailies, and also good old /~Neo____Zafara!
   
2. Trudy's Surprise! It's a relatively new daily that gives you free NP. The amount increases until the 25th day, where any spin will net you 100k even if you don’t hit 3-in-a-row.
   
3. Ghoul Catchers is a Neo-mobile app where you can earn 50k a day just by playing the 1st/2nd level 50x a day. Here's JN's Guide and Petpage Guide! The app has been removed from the app store, but you can still play the game through an APK. Security FAQs on using an APK and the APK Download.
   
4. Battledome (BD). I'll be mentioning the more relevant guides. JN IDB's Beginner's Guide to Battledome + /~SilverCyanide4, Faerie Ability guide, 1-Player Equipment Guide, STDEF Boost Table, and JN's BD Damage Calculator are useful links.
   

The reason to participate in the BD is that it gives you goodies like Tan/Red Codestones, Neocola Tokens, Armoured Neggs, and even Nerkmids (if premium) that you can sell for profit. Each time you beat an opponent, you’ll obtain something from the General pool, Dome pool, or Opponent pool until you hit the limit of 1500 NP + 15 items daily. Here’s a breakdown.
The General pool includes Tan/Red Codestones. The recommended starter opponent is the Kreludan Defender, who has an easy starting HP of 14, and drops relatively good items from his Dome + Opponent pool (Neocola tokens, Armoured Neggs, Genius Neggs). The other challenger that beginners frequent is the Chia Clown, who may drop Chocolate Ice Cream.

JN's Battlepedia has a listing of difficulty-specific prizes. With regards to the rate of certain Battledome drops, there is no correlation to difficulty aside from different item pools.

• Play easy 3k games. 3k is the maximum you earn from each Flash Game except during special occasions (such as the week of Neopets' birthday). Check out /~fishyheart for easy quick to play games. Also, /~ChaChaFrancesca tracks NP ratios for on-site games, and /~AnnEstelle provides for mirrored games. Read the disclaimer on the mirrored game petpage (do not play the same game twice in one day)!
  
• Do basic jobs at the Faerieland Employment Agency. You'll have to be fast to get profitable ones, but it's such a fast way to earn spare cash. Max limit is 5 jobs a day. I would check out JN's article and our own guide here!
  
• Play Food Club. Lefty (/~Innocent) has a good rundown on what it's about. There’s a daily FC thread on this subreddit where you can follow experienced bettors as you start out.
  

The only tip is to bet consistently - you may lose quite a bit, but in the long run it definitely pays out – and with older accounts, you can earn a LOT when you win since you can bet more.

• Stock Market is another thing players like investing in. It's recommended that you buy the cheapest stocks (15 NP). You should bookmark this page, so you can easily see which stocks are at 15 NP currently. You can buy a maximum of 1000 stocks a day, which equates to a 15k investment daily.

Keep in mind it's a long-term investment. Most people sell at 60 (+300% profit), but some hold for higher (100+). Neostocks is an informative Stock Market tracking site to see trending stocks and provides alerts if desired.

• Try Restocking! Restocking means hanging around in official Neopets shops and playing the waiting game in order to quickly buy profitable items at a lower price, so you can later resell them to players at a higher price. There are restrictions on what items you can see based on your account age, but you can still restock Faerie Quest items, Faerie Employment Items, and other consumables (books, food, etc.) if your account is younger.
