I just got my tenth Altador Cup V Achievement. It is called Play Slushie Slinger 50 times with a minimum score of 200. The prize is Altador Cheeseburger, which is a food item.

It took me most of today to get this one and along the way I only got about 50 of the needed 500 for the next one for this game. I do not know if I am going to go for that one anytime soon, as my arms are kind of worn out. I think I will go back to Slushie Slinger now.

Achievements I Have Gotten:

1. Playing all four games at least one time
2. Win Five Yooyuball Matches
3. Play Shootout Showdown 40 times scoring a minimum of 5 goals each time
4. Score 50 Yooyuball goals in the first round
5. Score 10 goals with a Clockwork Yooyu
6. Score 100 goals with each offensive player
7. Win 10 Yooyuball games with 10 or more goals scored in each game

Altador Cup V NC Challenge: Benchwarmer

The Benchwarmer Challenges of the NC Challenge for Altador Cup V were not too hard for me, although it did take me a while to get the 6,000 in Make Some Noise. Turned out really easy once I switched to playing in Safari instead of Firefox. Not exactly sure why, but I am happy with that because now maybe I can do the achievement of doing over 6,000 100 times in that game. Now it is time to just play Altador Cup waiting for when they release the next set of NC Challenges.

Benchwarmer Challenges

Challenge 1: Join Altador Cup Team.
Prize: Altador Cup Training Gym Background

Challenge 2: Shootout Showdown - Score 5 Goals in 1 Game.
Prize: Partly Cloudy Hoodie

Challenge 3: Make Some Noise - Score 4500 Points.
Prize: Spinning Altador Cup Star Belt

Challenge 4: Yooyuball - Score 1 goal.
Prize: Bouncing Yooyu Foreground

Altador Cup V NC (Neocash) Challenge

Since the Altador Cup is likely to be my only entertainment besides reading books I have already paid for, for the first time ever I actually bought some Neocash cards to do the Altador Cup V NC (Neocash) Challenge. I mostly refuse to pay to do online gaming, but I love Neopets and have for almost 8 years, so I fully support the $20 ($18 used for the Altador Cup V NC Challenge) going to them.

The NC Challenge for the Altador Cup V requires the Altador Cup V NC Challenge Game Ticket, which costs 1,800 NC (equivalent to $18). The ticket lets you play through all the challenges, although you have to beat a set before moving on to the next set of challenges. Now I am off to beat the first set of challenges called Benchwarmer.

Altador Cup V Stats Update May 28, 2010

I barely made it to rank 1 today. I was actually going to keep playing for a while, but the power just went out and I would rather not waste my laptop battery life on Neopets right now and waste it in the morning if I have to, although I sure hope not. At least I was using my 3G thing and that is not affected by power outages.

This week's Better Than You features The Altador Cup Referee. Below is his challenge statement.

To beat him you must get 1,580 points in Ready to Roll.

Prize is The Red Paw for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are one of the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Altador Cup V Achievement Bonuses



I just finished playing Slushie Slinger for the first time this year and was surprised to see an achievement pop up. The Achievement was for Playing all four games at least one time. The prize is a book, Altadorian Archives.

Is it just me or are these achievement prizes new and anyone know if there are more? I will post if I discover any more.

Altador Cup V has Begun

I am so excited that the Altador Cup has begun for this year. I have been kind of bored in my free time in my new city, as I do not have my scooter to get around. I thought I would have to wait until August for that and I did not know what I was going to do without it, but now I only have to wait until mid-June and I know I can entertain myself with the Altador Cup in my free time until then.

My goal is again to get the ultimate rank of 20, but we will see if that happens. Last year I only got to Rank 9, so it would be nice if I at least passed what I did last year and got Rank 10. By the way you can use this rank calculator to help you find how close you are to the next rank.

What is your Altador Cup Rank goal?

You Can Now Pick Your Team for Altador Cup V

I have been waiting all month for Altador Cup V to begin. I have not been on Neopets much in the past few months, but I totally look forward to playing the Altador Cup games this year. I might not have as much time as last year because I will not have all the time on the road to play and I just started a full time nanny job, but the time I do have should be better quality than last year because I the Internet will not come in and out like it did on the road last summer.

As usual I am a loyal Terror Mountain supporter. For joining the team I got an Altador Cup Background - Terror Moutain I just love ice, snow, and Antarctica and Terror Mountain is as close as it comes to that in the Neopian world. For signing up I got three prizes for 3 years of dedicated play (I missed the 2nd Altador Cup). My prizes were Altador Cup Through the Ages, Altador Cup Colosseum Archway, and Altador Cup Colosseum Interior Background.

Which team are you supporting this year?

This week's Better Than You features Mick. Below is his challenge statement.

To beat him you must get 5,300 points in Nimmo's Pond.

Prize is Stylishly Simple Pond for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are one of the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

New Game and Challenge: Hannah and the Wardrobe of Adventure

The newest Neopets game has come out along with the new game challenge. The new game is called Hannah and the Wardrobe of Adventure.

This is kind of boring. You just choose the parts to make Hannah's outfit for different missions. I guess I have a horrible fashion sense as I stink at this game. I tried it for half an hour and could only figure out a few perfect outfits despite the missions being very repetitive. The main points seem to come from the Korbat's Lab/brick style bonus round every three missions passed, as if you beat that you easily get 2,000 points. The problem is figuring out enough outfits to get to the bonus round. I am too lazy and it feels almost like cheating to me, but I am sure someone has a guide out there that tells you the outfits.

To get AAA's prize you must score 9,000. To get Abigail's prize you must score 350. As always by default you get Abigail's prize if you have not gotten it yet and first beat AAA's score. The prize for beating Abigail is Hannahs Chest of Clothes.

Better Than You: Extreme Potato Counter

This week's Better Than You features Extreme Potato Counter Dude. Below is his challenge statement.

"My totally radical game is on the Better Than You Show?!? That's far out! Are you ready to experience the supreme awesomeness of losing to me?!?"

To beat him you must get 155 points in Extreme Potato Counter.

Prize is Wocky Tacos for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are one of the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.
