What's New at Jellyneo: September 2024Posted by Kenny on September 1, 2024, 2:23 pm NST
We're continuing our monthly tradition: an update on all things new and refreshed last month at Jellyneo!
Here's a rundown of what's new here from the past month.
New Site Layout!
To celebrate our 20th birthday on August 22nd, we released a project we have been working on for quite some time: a new main site layout! This layout matches what we have used on all of our other departments, such as the Item Database, for many years.
We are currently having a short beta testing period before rolling out widely, so stay tuned to our homepage for updates! If you have any feedback, do not hesitate to let us know! We read everything we receive, and are fixing bugs and making adjustments every day. Look forward to a site theme switcher very soon!
Special Categories 2.0
We continued our birthday celebrations with a big update to the Item Database: Special Categories 2.0!
We have completely redesigned and updated our "Special Categories" system to be more robust, shedding previous limitations with the ability to categorize an item in any way we wish.
We've expanded the list of our Special Categories from 212 to 324 options, with even more planned to be added and catalogued in the coming months.
The "Categories" section on an individual item's page has been redesigned to show the full rundown of where the item can be found, where it can be used at, any effects it may have, and any other thematic groupings.
You can search by Special Category right over in our search bar—look for the In Special Category options!
The Void Within Coverage
The Void Within has continued to develop over the last month, and we've covered it breathlessly!
August saw the start of the Clash Over Kiko Lake. Check out our guides for the most accurate current mechanics and prizes:
Our prize shop guide is up-to-date with a battery of new prizes released last week:
We also saw the first release of Dr. Landelbrot's Voidworks. This activity will allegedly become a daily one once Chapter 5 starts next Monday, September 9.

Plot Points Fortune Cookie Guide
In case you missed it, last month TNT released a new Void Within Plot Points Fortune Cookie. The cookie respects the same daily/weekly point limits per activity, but helps you get there two (or three, if you're lucky) times as fast.
Altador Cup Coverage
The Altador Cup spanned the entire month of August, with the top bracket wrapping up this weekend, while middle and bottom brackets experienced a bizarre and unexpected double-practice day.
The TNT Staff Tournament also completed and has already had its prize shop opened! Check out our coverage to see how each staffer did and what's available for your points:
Finally, we hosted our very own Staff Tourney for the first time in five years! Congratulations to Ducky, Rylon, and Perry for their podium placements, and to the five lucky random winners of a SDCC prize code for submitting guesses in all ten rounds!
New Convention Recaps
We published three new convention recaps in August.
New Premium Scratchcard Prizes
TNT updated prizes for the weekly Premium scratchcards with a mix of new and rereleased items. Check out our guide for all the latest details:
New Petpetpet Attachment Walkthrough
Thanks to a tip through a contact form, we now have instructions on a very efficient way to get your Petpetpet attached. Curious? Check out our guide:
Recurrent Guide Updates
Some site features are perennially updated by TNT, and so our articles about them are too!
Finally, we are always adding new entries to our databases. You can keep up with them at any time!
If you discovered something delightful or useful above, make ourday month by letting us know in the comments. Happy August!

In the Item DB, I really appreciated the links to my own stamp pages on stamp items under 'Notes' (in order to quickly check whether I already have it), which seems to have disappeared recently. Any chance of re-introducing this?

@kaedesasu We never removed those links, they have been relocated and are now in two other places! We added a "Your Stamp Album" button for it at the bottom on the left-side "Find This Item" column, and when you go to the new Categories list, you can click the "Neopets" button on the "Stamp Album" category which also brings you to your stamp album page for that stamp!

In the Item DB, is there any way to check how many items are on a Wishlist? I know we can check the estimate price, but I would like to know how many items are in a particular wishlist, too long to count by hand for sure.
Thanks for the update!

@pasqui - thank you! I had a sinking feeling the second after posting I was probably not looking hard enough!
Appreciate all the efforts the JN team put into the Item DB - use it daily

@zinkro: You can find a count of how many items are on each of your lists here:

Thanks, Dave! And if it is another user's wishlist?
For example https://items.jellyneo.net/mywishes/dystar714
which has the lists for stocking specific mall categories

@zinkro: Alas, no totals on other people's lists. Help me understand better, what's your use case here?

Hey I think the login service on neopets might've just gone down.

In this particular example, I could check how many different items are in the category "Bakery", and that would help to know the minimum shop size required to fully stock that category. I know it might be a niche use, but it still useful for sure. I hope it makes sense

Incidentally, mashing the star button also makes getting the "I Taunt The Pant Devil" avatar faster too.

First off, THANK YOU, all of you who do this site, my family and I would be lost without JN!!!
I had that same issue with the stamps, Neodeck and TCG, the links back to us are there just in different spots. Biggest issue is having to get used to the new stuff, so not really an issue.
What I was sad about was the site preferences I switch JN to match the month / colors ( desktop, phone, Neopets etc), saw where you will have the seasonal ones at least so I am happy for that. But one day in the future I wouldn't mind more!
Thanks again!
