Sophie flips through a book, looking for your name. "According to this, you have 22,885 points left to spend."

I got same as dl, except "According to this, you have 16,670 points left to spend."
I'm surprised considering that I wasn't able to do or finish everything, but hey that's awesome. Now I have to decide what I want to spend my points on.....

[dlfreak]

I have so many points and theres so many neat things to choose from!!! I don't know what to do. I want to buy all the books and read them to Alexia2002. Or if I were being NP-minded, holding on to all the books for the future would be wise too since they could only go up in value as people read them...

For my Neohome, though, I'd really like the Mysterious Potted Flower, Potion Cabinet, and Talking Tombstone Alarm Clock.

But then how good are those weapons? I could use a really good weapon for Alexia2002.

I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i only have 13k but man not sure how to spend it either lol....i want the neofurniture but i don't have nearly as much to spend..and i might would have worked harder had i known there would be so much neofurniture to be able to buy..ugggg! gonna see how expensive wiz has stuff listed.

[dlfreak]

I used my points to buy a Ghost Paint Brush and I put it into my SDB. It's always good to have PBs... the only direction they usually go in price is UP UP UP. I should have bought two but I only bought one.

I also got a Rusty Lamppost on a risk. Hopefully with time it will go up in value. I decided against buying books for value simply because it would probably take a really long time to wait for them to go up. I figured there aren't that many people vying for the book trophy and those that are will probably give up by the time the books they need cost 50,000 NP each. And since the highest book available in the Prize Shop was currently selling for 60,000 NP that means it would be quite a long wait to see a return on any book investments.

For my Kitchen in my Neohome I hunkered down and used more points to get the Potion Cabinet.

For sentimental sake (and lack of points for anything good) I also bought myself:
Titanium Grave-Digging Spork
Package of Assorted Vines
Surplus Bone-Testing Kit

And finally with my remaining points, I bought two more Titanium Grave-Digging Sporks to sell. I had 160 points left and they were more valuable on the Wiz than the Testing Kit even though the kit required more points to buy. More points doesnt necessarily mean more Neopets!

I ended up with 10 points left.

I'm going to wait a few days (for more people to cash in their points) and then buy the books to read to Alexia2002 and to stockpile. That will probably be the cheapest point in their life to buy them since books disappear after you read them then that means their value can only go up. So I'm buying them now to read/stockpile while they are cheap.

i still haven't purchased anything with my prize points but i did go buy one of the potion cabinets from a shop. it won't load...ugggg!!!! i still think i am gonna opt for furniture but still waitiing to see what they are going to sell for first... i thought about the pb too, not many pts for a pb and your right they hold value. i just hate being willy nilly when i only got so many points to spend..i sure wish i could have finished the potions part of the plot then i would have gotten more points but heck i was really surprised at how generous they were with as much as i did finish..but then again the darn meepit one took enough of my mental energies to continue through that...i was ready to shoot me a meep

[dlfreak]

All in all though that was probably my favorite plot. I really liked it a lot all the graphics and the storyline etc. Very nice stuff... too bad there wasn't more with Illere but it was still neat.

And I would have won me some bets had I put money on my gut feeling that the plot furniture wouldn't work. So annoying, they make such cool furniture and it doesn't load!

[fairy_tale_girl64]

yeah i agree why don't they test out the furniture before putting it out there...uggg!!!! oh well it will work one day with half of the other items i have in my safe lol. but i still am leaning towards spending my points on the furniture...glutton for punishment i am thinking

[TNgirl924]

I got a trophy, the look up, and the avie. And I have 21,720 points to spend. I'm still not sure what to use them on yet. The only thing I'm fairly sure I will get is the Ghost PB.

[tanzilynn]

I had 23030 points to spend and I got a paint brush, 3 potion cabinets, a mysterious potted flower, an open grave and a few of the cheaper items, keychain, vines and sporks. Oh and I got the talking alarm clock. I have already put the potion cabinet in my Meditation Room and I think it looks great! You can actually see the potions! I tried to put a scroll cabinet in there and it didn't look right so i took it out. Here's my Meditation Room if you want to see what the Potion Cabinet will look like. neopets.com/neohome.phtml?type=furniture&showtext=no&neohome_room_id=42799964&resident=tanzilynn

[krisconcepcion19]

I got a paint brush, mysterious potted plant, the faerie plushie doll (can't remember her name) and some of the cheaper stuff.

[tanzilynn]

I put all my stuff in my sdb, I'm going to hold on to everything I got until the prices start going up on it all. I looked on the trading post and so many people are trying to sell their pb's. I figure I'll wait until it's calmed down a bit before trying to sell mine.

[fairy_tale_girl64]

i bought all neohome stuff...i got two of the asylum doors..those seemed to be holding their value the most...then one potion cabinet...3 alarm clocks and two open graves...i think i got the lab kit thing too but it wasn't as important as my other neofurniture items!!! thanks for letting me know the cabinet now works..i went and put it in my laundry/potting/potions room it really is great!!!!

[BunnyRabt]

I didn't do much of the plot at all, but I got the trophy, an Ilere Plushie, the Chemistry set and a book for Bixabo. Not too bad considering I didn't do much.

[fairy_tale_girl64]

yes i was amazed at the generosity of the prize amounts cause i really didn't get too much into it..life was complicated during that time and following for a while and i just didn't have time for everything so i was more than pleased but then again the astronomy plot was very generous and still collecting prizes even though its nothing major its still freebies

[dlfreak]

Oooh! That potion table is really neat but the wood surface wouldn't match the faerie/brick theme of my Kitchen.

[dlfreak]

Oh man, big chunk out of my bank today. I just bought a copy of every book from Sophie's shack to read to Alexia2002. Then I bought one extra copy of all of them to stockpile. I bought two or three copies of the cheaper books. So I basically just sunk in 275,000 NP into just books!!!!

[fairy_tale_girl64]

holy crap dl lol you guys are good about reading to your pets..i just can't do it but with the cheap cheap books i will play cliffhangers to increase my intelligence but thats about it

[nftysqrt69]

I have about 11,000 points to spend. I was surprised on how much I had. But I still have no idea what to get. I want to some of the pricier things but since I don't have so many points should I buy a few of the cheaper items?
