UPDATE, APRIL 21: It's not just you! This same issue has returned quite strongly this morning, unfortunately.

---

UPDATE: TNT have announced there will be downtime on the site between 2AM and 4AM on Wednesday 16th.

Over the last few weeks you may have noticed that, particularly in the mornings, Neopets.com has been fairly laggy. Well, last night into this morning, things have gotten progressively worse. Now, the site is lagging so badly that sustained play is proving impossible for many users - it isn't just you!


Many users are now encountering pages either not loading, edgesuite errors, or the following error on pages:

Error: Having trouble retrieving results Please reload the page

TNT is aware of the issue and looking into solutions. Last night, the Quest Log was taken down for around an hour to try and mitigate the issue, but when it returned the lag continued. We'll keep you updated if there are any other developments.

As a note, when periods of lag like this impact the main site, Tales of Dacardia rewards often fail to arrive in your Neopets.com account. This is temporary, and the rewards should come through when things improve.

Today marks the beginning of the Festival of Neggs- the best time of the year. With it comes a brand new battledome item courtesy of one Hanso.


While it doesn't come close to matching his charisma charm; it is always nice to get another battledome item even if it isn't anything too worthy.


Either way, collect one by getting lucky opening a Fortune Negg during the festival, and don't forget to check out our guide for more information and answers if you need help finding each day's negg.

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.

Varwolf Updates
Welcome to the 56th Neopets species, the Varwolf! We've made a number of updates around Jellyneo accordingly. You can now view Varwolves at our Rainbow Pool listing at the Wardrobe, and learn more about them in our Book of Ages guide:


We've also made several minor tweaks around the site:

• We've added info about creating them to our Premium Perks and Limited and Restricted Neopets guides.
• We've added them as a species exclusion on our Lab Ray and Pound Transfer guides.
• You can select them at our Petpet Matcher tool in the Item Database.
• You can select them as your jnAccount avatar, which is visible when you comment on our news posts.
• You can select them as a species filter at the Book of Ages (though TNT has made no characters yet!) and our Battlepedia Advanced Search (though TNT have made no exclusive weapons yet!)

tsun scoops and Yifang Tea NorCal Guides
We've added recaps of two recent Neopets merch partnerships: tsun scoops and Yifang Tea NorCal! These brand activations took place at the end of 2024 as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations. Check them out for all the details, including some fun pictures!


If you're hoping for another opportunity to enjoy a Neopets-themed chilled treat, you're in luck! Neopets recently announced a partnership with It's Boba Time "transforming 100 locations across the US into Neopia, featuring themed decor and exclusive giveaways" this coming May 2025!

Tales of Dacardia

Our Tales of Dacardia guide has continued to expand in the last month.

To kick it off, we have a fresh guide on the Premium Parlour! Find out about all of the current and previous items and Neopets available for sale as in-app purchases.


We've also got a guide up for the Spring Celebration event currently ongoing through April 8th.


We've also gone back and retroactively filled our Tales of Dacardia Events hub with guides for all of the past events. Will you find them useful? Probably not! But will you find them interesting? Maybe! Here they are:


Finally, we've updated our Buddy Bulletin Board guide with the new types of tasks introduced in the last update, and Wheel of Prizes guide with the latest batch of prizes (which according to the in-app announcements will be rotating out later this week)!

Faerie Fragments
Unfortunately, the beleaguered Faerie Fragments mobile app has been effectively unplayable for most people since last weekend, but we've continued to enhance our guide.

First up, we have an event guide for the current seasonal event, Tia's Seasonal Exchange, which you likely won't be able to participate in with the app's current broken state. This event is the first to offer a prize on Neopets.com!


We've also added listings of the basic details of all levels (which the game currently won't let you complete).


Similarly, we've added a Story hub with a rundown of all the tasks involved in both the Main and Side stories. If you already have Wocky Jelly or Jam, you may still be able to progress the story while the app is broken, you just might not be able to earn more!


Finally, we've launched a hub for what we are calling "Bonus Activities": the various minigames and features the app offers to earn (or buy) in-game rewards. Some of these don't require level progression, so you can stock up on rewards even while the gameplay is defective! We've shuffled some existing info into guides here, as well as added a handful of new ones. Look forward to guides for the rest of these activities in the coming weeks.


Hopefully TNT will figure out how to restore this app to a serviceable state soon!

If you discovered something delightful or useful above, make our day month by letting us know in the comments. Happy April!

Today's comic comes bundled with a fresh new battledome item; time will tell just how good it is but the chances that it will dethrone the Leaded Elemental Vial as the most OP healer mass-released in 2024 will likely be low.


Pick up yours today! Check out our Story Prizes guide for more information.


Also don't forget the other battledome item released recently via the Grundos Warehouse!

Honestly, this is likely the most new items we have seen in a long time. Clearly TNT didn't like me having rated every battledome item on the site for long...

Firstly and most importantly, we had some re-released 1-player only weapons as Hidden Tower items; This TNT- more of this.



Then we had a couple of "price capping" items of various levels of interest.




It should be said, currently the Obsidian Scorchstone can be equipped with other healers- I assumed in my review that this was a glitch based on its description but that too is not exactly correct. If it turns out to be a mistake this item could be a gamechanger.

Finally this morning we received a pile of new scratchcard prizes





None of these look particularly special so far, but they are still worth posting. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the Snow Slingshot also turned out to be a weapon but TNT made a mistake. Also we have the upcoming Void Essence Milestone, which may also give an item for anyone who has discovered an essence this round. Overall this is a crazy selection of items and I for one am here for it.


Another item was discovered after the last set too; with another item that looks vaguely like it is meant to be a weapon.
