Newbie Guide to Making Millions
By prince_raptor

The Almost Abandoned Attic is a loyal user perk for accounts older than 3 years. It is a shop similar to the Igloo Garage Sale, though it is different in that it only stocks items from R90 to R99, such as Draik Eggs. Haggling is not a requirement to make a purchase unlike other Neopian shops, however there is a purchase limit of five items per user per day every 15 minutes.Second, you can get. Neopets created restock bans to make restocking more fair on everyone. People who spend too much time at the neopets shops get banned from buying stuff there for a while. This can last from a few hours, to a few days. The restock bans are measured by the number of refreshes you make at a shop. So if you go there and refresh like crazy, you have.

So you're dying to know how to make millions upon millions of Neopoints in a matter of days, hours, or even minutes. While such a thing is theoretically possible for a new player, it actually borders on impossible with a .000001% chance that you'll suddenly stumble across that many Neopoints (or an item worth millions) with little or no effort. However, with a little help from us, you can be well on you way to making millions in a relatively short period of time.

Please keep in mind that this article is based solely on my own personal experiences on Neopets, so there may be a couple of spots here and there that will require later revisions. Please keep checking back for updates. Also, keep in mind that, while my advice has worked very well for me, even I have made bad investments (usually in items) and as a result, I've lost thousands of Neopoints. Sometimes you just need to be patient and wait things out. Other times, you need to act quick before your opportunity (and your profit) disappears..

GAMES
30,000-50,000 NP A Day!

Perhaps the simplest way to earn quick Neopoints without a great deal of experience on the site is to play games. One can easily earn 30,000 NP or more per day without too much time invested this way, but first you have to figure out which games you are best at, which you don't mind playing repeated, and which you can earn 3,000 NP from each day. As a quick reminder, the maximum amount of Neopoints a game can give out when you submit a game score is 1,000. You can submit three scores per day for a total of 3,000 NP per game per day. When you play the Featured Game of the day, you only need half of the usual score needed to earn the same 1,000 NP.

So, by playing ten or more games three times per day, you can earn 30,000 NP or more per day without too much hassle. On a scale of 1-10 when rating ease of earning, this is about a 5. While the rewards are instant, they require time and skill and patience. Trust us when we tell you.. playing the same games over and over again, day after day, for as much time as is needed to earn 3,000 NP from each can become VERY tedious, VERY fast.

NEOPIAN STOCK MARKET
Quadruple Your Investments.. Eventually..

In-Depth Neodaq Guide | Neodaq Report Card | Neopian Stock Market

Perhaps the slowest, but easiest way to earn Neopoints is to invest in the Neopian Stock Market. Here, you buy up to 1000 shares of a certain stock which is selling at 15 NP or more per share. Wise investors purchase 15,000 NP worth of stocks every day, and when the shares rise in value to 60 NP or more each, they sell them, thus earning 45,000+ NP just by waiting.

The downside to investing is that it can take anywhere from six months to a year and a half for any particular stock to reach the 60 NP/share selling point.. sometimes less, depending on the stock and when in its cycle you purchased it. The plus side is that you are guaranteed to earn Neopoints (unless a stock goes bankrupt, which is not only rare, it *usually* only happens to stocks that have remained at insanely high prices for several months), even if you sell early. The fact of the matter is, as long as you sell the stocks for more than you purchased them for, you're going to earn more than you would have earned in interest at the National Neopian Bank.

In the meantime, however, don't forget to collect your interest at the National Neopian every day. Your interest is added to your account total, which in turn increases the interest you earn. Cool, huh?

RESTOCKING
The Art of Shopping!

Without a doubt the fastest way to millions of Neopoints, restocking is an art unto itself. The reason that restocking is so rarely done, however, is because it requires four things - a fast Internet connect, quick reflexes, a lot of patience, and an expert knowledge of what items sold by one or more shops in particular are worth infinitely more than they're sold for.

Essentially, no item can be sold in any shop for more than 99,999 Neopoints. In official Neopets shops (e.g., the ones NOT run by Neopians), the items are sometimes worth less than they're selling for, but are sometimes worth more, and rarely worth a LOT more. Some of the rarest items sold today in Neopia's shops are worth well over 25,000,000 Neopoints (such as the ARGH! Donna Stamp, which is worth a cool 40 Million Neopoints if ever you can snatch one). Others, which are slightly easier to find can sell for hundreds of thousands of Neopoints or more, depending on the item's rarity and general demand.

Now, as if knowing what items you were looking for wasn't hard enough, you have to wait until one of the seven or so times each hour that the shop randomly restocks with items based on their rarity. And then, if you are fortunate enough to be there when a valuable item pops up, you not only have to click on it quickly, you have to haggle with the shopkeeper by entering a price that's lower than what he/she was asking for, but high enough for him/her to accept it right away. THEN you have to click on the Neopet that appears on the image below the haggle box as quickly as possible. If you have somehow managed to do all of that before anyone else, you'll have hopefully just purchased something worth a great deal more than what you paid for it. Congratulations!

Obviously this isn't as easy as it may sound, otherwise everyone would do it. As a general rule of thumb, experts recommend new restockers practice on items that are worth a little more than what they're being sold for, as they're usually in higher quantity and less demand than the more valuable items.

Simple, right? :-) Well, there is one more thing you need to watch out for. In order to give other users a fair chance, you will sometimes be banned from shopping in the Neopian Shops because you visited them or refreshed one too many times in a shop during a short period of time. The 'restock ban' lasts a certain period of time (ten minutes or more), and generally increases if you are banned is rapid succession. Just check back later and try again if this happens to you.

PLOTS AND WARS
Earn A Prize.. If You Survive..

About twice a year or more, the Neopets Team will release a major plot, war, activity, or some combination of the three. While infrequent, these events can earn a clever or devoted player one or more prizes worth millions of Neopoints. For instance, the top participants in this year's Altador Cup tournament could have chosen a Yooyu Celebration Stamp as their prize.. and now that they are retired and are slowly getting used up, forgotten, or lost, that item in particular is worth over 15,000,000 Neopoints and rising. How's THAT for a reward?

Plots and puzzles require you to use your cunning, an intimate knowledge of previous plot/puzzle elements, and sometimes even really good timing to make it to the end and earn yourself a valuable prize at the end. Perhap
