Better Than You: Hannah and the Wardrobe of Adventure

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

"Hannah says that I'm the best assistant outfitter that ever was. That's really good, isn't it? I mean, it's not what I had planned on being when I grow up, but if it keeps my friend safe on all those dangerous missions, I'm proud to do it."

To beat him you must get 10,360 points in Hannah and the Wardrobe of Adventure.

New Game and Challenge: Kookia

The newest Neopets game has come out along with the new game challenge. The new game is called Kookia.

There really is not much to this game. You just move your cursor to get the Kookiths (yellow, fire, etc. depending on specific level) and click on the ghost ones (or at least I think they are ghost ones). By clicking on at least three of the "ghost" Kookiths you make it to the bonus round for that level. The bonus round is the same concept.

There are three difficulty levels (east, medium, and hard) in Kookia. The easy is easier to progress far, but because the Kookias move slow it can be harder to get the chain bonuses if you do not wait for several to come out and then collect them. Hard can make the points go faster, but I found it quickly got too hard to get 80% and pass the level (i.e. I only passed level 1, although I did beat Abigail that way). Note that the point value per Kookith is also higher the harder the difficulty, which is a big reason why they rack up fast on Hard.

Beating Easy I only got like 17,000 points. Medium and Hard I cannot even get past level 2. I do not really care to keep trying either because it just is not that interesting of a game in my opinion. Nice scenery and graphics, though.

To get AAA's prize you must score 300,000. To get Abigail's prize you must score 20,000. 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 Kookia Playset.

Better Than You: Jumpin' Gem Heist

This week's Better Than You features Fauna. Below is her challenge statement.

"While I can't approve of using Petpet labour in dangerous mining operations, I think Solly the Sandan's bravery deserves a little support! This poor Sandan needs your help rescuing his treasure from the Bori miner. Will you help me protect this little fellow?"

To beat him you must get 94,500 points in Jumpin' Gem Heist. I remember this game being frustrating as a New Game Challenge, so I will not be trying this week at all.

Prize is Harris Tales 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.

Better Than You: Sorcerers' Skirmish

This week's Better Than You features The Court Dancer. Below is her challenge statement.

"Oh, hello. You must be part of the Meridell embassy sent to make the new treaty arrangements. Why don't you take a little break and play this enchanting new game? I think you'll find it quite captivating."

To beat him you must get 7,050 points in Sorcerers' Skirmish.

Prize is Darigan Ona Plushie 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 NC Challenge: MVP Bonus Prizes


Today I remember to check back on the NC Challenge to see if there were bonus prizes for beating all the challenges. I was pretty sure there were based on what the page said, but was not sure if they were released yet. They have been released.

The prizes for beating all the NC Challenges are the Altador Cup V MVP Medal and the Altador Cup NC Challenge Prize Pack. The Prize Pack has the following items in it: A Heros Welcome Background, Altador Cup V MVP Jersey, Altador Cup V MVP Skirt, and Altador Cup V MVP Cleats.

The NC Challenge was fun, but I really do not care about wearable items. I knew that is what I was getting from the start, but I doubt I will pay for Neocash to do a challenge again unless I am really bored. It would be nice if they started giving out things just for your NeoHome, though, as I would like to get back into decorating mine.

Altador Cup V Wrap Up


I am happy that this year my team Terror Mountain finished 9th. I am also happy I got All Star Rank. What I am sad about, though, is that I still did not earn enough prize shop points to get the best prize.

I got 24,012 points. I do not want the 40,000 point item (Pirate Paint Brush), but I do want the 20,000 point book as well as the 5,000 point stamp and the other books. I cannot even get the most expensive book and the stamp. To get everything I want (books, stamp, statues) is about 26,000, which is kind of annoyingly close to what I have. I am going to think on it and maybe just get the 20,000 point book and the little stuff and use Neopoints to get the stamp.

How you do this year in the Altador Cup? What are you getting in the prize shop? Anything you wish you had enough points to get in the prize shop?

Altador Cup V Stat Update July 4, 2010

I kind of surprised myself that I made it to the ultimate rank of All Star (i.e. 20) today. I had some time this morning and late this afternoon and ended up within 20 of getting to Rank 20. It seemed so in reach that I just stayed up an extra hour than planned and achieved it. Kind of exciting, but I am kind of too tired to care right now.

Altador Cup V Stat Update July 2, 2010


Yeah, I kind of ended up barely playing today. I just played a little bit now to get to Rank 19. I might play tomorrow some, but I do not care about Rank 20 anymore. I have too many other things to do at this time and am kind of burnt out on Altador Cup. If I find some bored down time the next two days, though, I will be trying to get to Rank 20.

Altador Cup V Stat Update July 1, 2010


The Internet on the road was not as good as I had hoped, so I did not get much playing in today. I am almost to Rank 19 and Rank 20 is not entirely out of the question, but it is very likely I just will not get there this year. I kind of do not mind because if I get there this year, then what is there to shoot for next year?
