Rating: | Picture this: it's December 29, 2022. Parachuting First Aid kit, the best buyable percentage healer that didn't care about your pet's species was, in fact, no longer buyable. Neopia had lost its healing hero. Then, the very next day, TNT released the second-best effect on a once-per-battle healer of all time. For free. In the Advent Calendar. In my opinion, this healer is second only to the three-way-tie of insanely expensive 100% healers: Jade Scorchstone, Leaded Elemental Vial, and the expensive-even-for-an-expensive-item Jewelled Scarab. If you got this for free during the Advent Calendar, congratulations: you now have access the second-most-powerful healing effect ever unleashed upon this beautiful blue marble we call Neopia. You should probably be using it unless you have a healer that heals more than 50% of your pet's maximum HP, like if you're using a Greater Healing Scroll or Helm of Recovery with a pet with less than 100 maximum HP. Even then, if you got this for free and you don't have one of those, this may still be worth picking up. Because this heals 50% of your pet's max HP, your pet will never outgrow this item - even if your pet has thousands of HP, you'll still be healing 50% of it with this item. This item would be a 10/10 even if it didn't do anything in addition to healing. It just so happens that, incredibly enough, if we continue reading this item's entry, it does in fact do something other than heal. I like to imagine that the air defense is there because it uses you use your opponent's air attack to cool off the soup before you eat/drink it. Thanks to that air defense, this item to... ▼ Read More ▼ |

Rating: Rating History ▼ | Does this really need a rating? If your pet has more than a nominal amount of HP and you do not have one of the two best healers in the game (Leaded Elemental Vial and Jade Scorchstone), This should be on the short list to be the healer of choice. If your pet has more than 120 HP, the Soup outclasses Rejuvenating Jar of Brains. The Soup is also a direct upgrade to Bag of Healing Dust adding air defense. Add the fact this item is still relatively inexpensive, being only a fraction of the cost of BoHD, and Soup is an obvious upgrade. If you still are Soup-less, get one... or else No Soup for you! :D While this is a phenomenal healer, LEV and JSS are clear upgrades and should both have a higher rating. EDIT: When this review was first written LEV and JSS were both less than 50m. With the large price disparity even more apparent, this weapon's score was bumped up. EDIT 2: And now, LEV is buyable. This is still a great healer, but a full, reliable healer is preferred over this. Rated on February 1, 2023. Updated September 17, 2024 |

Rating: Rating History ▼ | Price/Power (2/5) You know, I was expecting this to get downgraded on release- I didn't have "devalue the LEV to nothing" on my bingo card. Price wise this should drop dramatically and stay dropped due to the recent changes in the market, people who are stockpiling and hoarding this item will likely have lost a lot of money. So I'll give a couple of bonus points on that. Realistically 50% is "fine" but when you can get a full healer for a little bit more? Well, let's just say the once off air blocking doesn't do much to change my mind on its value. Countermeasures (0/5) While ONE TURN of air blocking is nothing to write home about; it is a minor if a little strange addition to an otherwise unfortunately now worthless healer. Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades This replaced MOST species percentage healers and the much more expensive Bag of Healing Dust. Until the mass release of the Leaded Elemental Vial, which while I am sure people will eventually attempt to inflate again, will likely never reach the heights of being too expensive ever again. There are literally thousands of LEVs out there now. Other Points Final Thoughts Who would have ever thought they'd give out a Bag of Healing Dust level healing item FOR FREE. Wow. Is what I said before they gave out a bleeping Elemental Vial out for free. At this point literally nothing surprises me anymore. Rated on January 27, 2023. Updated July 21, 2024 |
