How I made my Neopoints. Ashe’s story from 0 to 18 million Neopoints.
Read Time:6 Minute, 8 Second
Neopoints make Neopets go round, despite the addition of NeoCash, Neopoints remain the dominant currency on Neopets. In this series, we interview various Neopets millionaires on how they made their Neopoints in the hopes of helping other players to make more Neopoints.
This is the first post in this series so itś going to be a bit different as interviewing myself would be a bit odd. If you are Neopets millionaire and want to share your story of how you made your millions feel free to send an e-mail admin@neopetsinsider.com or contact me on Reddit.
How I started: You need Neopoints to make Neopoints.
I joined Neopoints back in 2009 or so for the first time and I immediately fell in love, back then the website was such a wild place with deep lore and systems that I loved. I was able to set up my own shop, I was able to invest in a stock market and weirdly enough I loved to do that as a child. I couldn’t care less about the pet aspect of the site and all I really wanted was to make Neopoints and become rich.
I started out by doing dailies every day and playing games that I found easy to do, I would average on about 15K a day if I were lucky and I put my hard-earned Neopoints into expanding my Omelette store. I bought up all the cheap omelettes I could find and sold them slightly more expensive.
Back in the days, omelettes would go for about 50 NP in general and if you were lucky you could snatch them up at 10 NP or even cheaper, boom 40 NP profit apiece. Arguably it wasn’t the best hustle – especially given how much time I spent on finding cheap omelettes for restocking – but if you scale up the volume and buy and sell omelettes by the dozens it can be profitable.
Either way, I was young and stupid, I made more accounts to create a mall fully owned by myself and ended up replying on a shop ad from the wrong account which gave me away and got my accounts frozen. This made me lose interest in Neopets for a while until I made a new account in 2013, my current account. Here’s where the story to my millions really starts.
Grind, Invest, Repeat
So I had returned to Neopets because I still appreciated its deep lore and the many worlds you could discover, this time more from a nostalgic point of view. I started playing Neopets to kill time and my goal was still the same: make Neopoints and become rich. I followed 50k a day guides on various fansites such as The Daily Neopets but I only played games that I liked and that weren’t too hard. I think Habitarium was still around back then but I didn’t really understand it nor could I be bothered by it.
Usually, I’d stop grinding after I hit 15K and I invested that money into the Neopian stock market, buy low, sell high. I did this for days on, not religiously, often I’d have a hiatus for months and I’d return back to grinding and investing and slowly my Neopets portfolio would grow and I could start reaping the profits.
Just to paint the picture, if you invest 15K every single day for a year you will have invested 5,475,000 Neopoints. Obviously, I didn’t do it like that but eventually, I earned my first millions thanks to the stock market.
2013 is about 8 years from now so you have to imagine me playing for weeks followed by months of hiatus, at some point, I couldn’t be bothered by playing the games anymore. I’d just use the Neopoints in my bank account – made from buying at 15 and selling at 60 – to buy my daily 1000 stocks.
The Stock market takes patience but if at some point you hold 10000 stocks that you bought at 15 and sell at for example 63 you’ll make 480,000 NP in profit out of thin air.
Later on, my account was old enough to participate in Food club and yield interesting results, which I did a couple of times but not always as I was reluctant to spend my hard-earned Neopoints on anything but stocks. It eventually made me about 1.5 million in profit to this day.
I kept using my bank account to invest in stocks as much as I could but eventually, I got lazy and I’d only sell stocks when checking my portfolio on my phone which drastically decreased my portfolio. That’s how I ended up with about 16 million Neopoints about a year ago. This is when I got the idea for a Neopets financial news website, the idea died but I ended up reviving it again and here you are reading this post on Neopets Insider.
Pandemic: Motivated to go back to my original goal, just using different routes.
Right, 16 million Neopoints still isn’t 18 million Neopoints, as of about a year ago I returned to Neopets and started investing a few millions into expanding my store, I wanted it to be a Gothic fashion store and bought up various items, put them in my store for a margin that I can’t remember, sold some stocks and I left again until about a month ago. My store had sold pretty much all high-end items at the time and I had about 2 million Neopoints in my shop till. I also sold more stocks, this time being more lenient with the sell price of 45 or even 30 just to fill up my bank account and that’s when i hit the magical number of 18 million.
Nowadays I just continue buying stocks at 15 in the hopes of beefing up my once massive and profitable stock portfolio and I just spent over 6 million Neopoints on restocking my store, fooling around with the wheel of extravagance and some other stuff. I hope to soon bring out an article about how long it took for me to earn back my 5.6 million Neopoints investment for my Goth fashion store. If all goes according to plan it should net me 1.3 million Neopoints in profit. That’s how I make my Neopoint these days along with doing Trudy’s and playing Ghoul Catchers. Occasionally I also make some Food club bets if I see any good odds on Reddit.
So to summarize:
- Do trudy’s every day
- If you still have it on your phone, do Ghoul Catchers every day (or install the apk from a safe site)
- Buy stocks at 15 every day, sell at 60 or higher.
- Restock items you like to restock, not every branch of Neopian retail moves as fast but often the pricey items like Gothic Kougra Jackets will sell eventually and net you a profit. I
It all comes down to how patient you are and how much you are willing to invest.
