Festival of Neggs 2023

[Siniri]

Today's clue was at my second guess (my first was Donny's).

Space, polar, solar...

Hmm... Going for the solar weapon, I guess?

And got it! It goes with my overly ambitious gallery theme.

I guess at this point, I'll aim for the last (space) wearable I don't have, or another book or stamp. Don't really care about the backpack, snow globe, or other space items. At least I'm guaranteed to get at least one of those three neggs as a choice each day (might be tough to choose if I get all three, though!).

[Blue]

First guess for me today (partly because Siniri ruled out a possible first guess )

Day 14(?): Plasma Negg, Spaceship Negg, Polar Lights Negg

Polar Lights Negg for the foreground... Where to Find the Polar Lights

and I get the darned book...

[Pickles]

Day 14:
Plasma, Polar Lights, Solar Flare
Polar Lights: Polar Lights Foreground

Was hoping for the book this time. Ah well.

Today's clue was pretty straight-forward to me. Went straight there. Might have something to do with the fact that the other day, I re-explored most of Neopia trying to figure one of the clues out when my brain was dead.

ETA:
Day 15:
Plasma, Polar Lights, Solar Flare
Polar Lights: Polar Lights Foreground

Dang, never got the book.

I suspect today will be the last day, and tomorrow will be the final prizes. As such, I've removed the Day 16 slots from the first page.

I picked Robot. I'm not as enamored of these petpets as I were of last year's, but it was still fun. Kinda hope this doesn't turn into a trend of "let's use the Negg Fest to introduce a new petpet", though. It was exciting last year...this year, it didn't feel quite so much.

ETA2: OMW the prices on the book/stamp are already going up. I should've bought a couple of the books while they were around 15k....they're already up to 70k, and the stamp bottomed out around 50k and is up to 70k+, too. Eeesh. At least the plushie is still cheap so I bought it for my gallery.

[Siniri]

Pickles and Blue, you guys could trade prizes since you each got what the other wanted!

I don't remember last year's negg festival at all. There were petpets?! I'm truly just going through the motions on this site.

All three choices are kind of ugly. Choosing the same as Pickles.

On to the negg. Solar, polar, space. Guess I'm only getting one stamp. At least I can try for another book... And got it!

Solar Flare Negg, Spaceship Negg, Plasma Negg

Plasma (only have 1 prize from that) - Fire Backpack

Ironic. I recently bought two different new backpacks. Took both of them back because neither sparked joy (and one hurt my back). Sticking with my old one. Last night, I hand sewed on some replacement velcro and will replace the zipper pulls this weekend...

I managed to get two of the books. One is yours, P.

I chose the "regular" purple Bython


Also just took at trip through the SW and picked up at least one each of the items I did not get, including a Snowglobe for 1NP

[Pickles]

Heads up, there IS one last clue after all!

Day 16:
Plasma, Neopia, Solar Flare
Neopia: Neopia Bath Bomb

....well, it was worth a shot at another stamp?

Mira NOW says "You've solved all of Kari's clues! Be sure to come back tomorrow for your final prizes."

I did like the nod to the time the Negg Faerie wore a Mira outfit...that was a nice touch.

[Blue]

Day 16: Neopia Negg, Spaceship Negg, Polar Lights Negg

Hmm... Book or Stamp?

Ugh. Neopia Bath Bomb

This year's Neggfest was a nice diversion from RL

[Siniri]

Plasma, Neopia, polar. I got the book yesterday, so maybe I'll try for the stamp, too? You both missed out, which means my probability of getting is still 1/3.

Globe of Neopia Snowglobe

Well, at least that's still a new to me prize! I still can't believe how many bath bombs I ended up with.

All gold check marks.

[Pickles]

Final Prizes are out.

Congrats, you did it!

You solved all of Kari's clues and, in the process, found every single one of the negg stashes. All while braving the void of space to find the answers to the mysterious object Mira discovered and safely hatch it into the Bython!

To reward this miraculous feat, here are some absolutely out-of-this-world prizes for you:

I feel like the bonus background could've been a little better done. Some pets look like they're falling off the asteroid chunk they're standing on.

It looks like having played the card game was not necessary to getting all the prizes?

There's a fun neoboard if you want to go mess with your mind some....

A little bummed they didn't do a space-themed version of the Negg Festival Site theme, but...what can you do?

Very few items on the whole for my gallery this year. I guess I made way more upgrades than were necessary. Ah, well. Got my extra charm already for my gallery, too, so I'm all set.

[Siniri]

Well, now you won't have to buy new slots for next year, Pickles? Or maybe they'll release new negg items in the regular news...

I waited until Pickles posted just in case there were glitches (Neopets paranoia from past experience), but I got everything.

[Blue]

Yay! Stuff. I assume I received everything
