It also seems that this might be a new daily (reset at midnight NST), so check back with the King.
If it has past midnight NST, and the inital prizes still come up, try clearing your cache and refresh to see if it changes.

now I'm stuck on the gladiator...... and I havent any idea of the code to use to get the goblet clickable.

[anjuna]

Well there is no code per se, unless you are very leet and choose to hack the unique URL to you, heh. It is simply a combination of three punches.

Since there are only three in the sequence, not too many combinations.

[sue@neopet]

The goblet moves slightly right when you use the correct combination. I kept clicking the seqeunces until I saw it move.

[Hellcat]

I think it's definitely a "reset at midnight thing". I got my first prizes at like 1am NST today, and I still am not getting the new prize/avatar. I'll edit at 1am NST and update if I got it then or not.

ETA: I think it has to be a "reset at midnight". At 12:04 NST I got my second prize, and the avatar. It might just be after the first gift... I don't know yet.

are the bowls in order? Like the one closet to the grall 1, the left of the goblet 2 and the right of the goblet 3

[anjuna]

WolfMaiden, "in order" is relative to you. You can call them 1, 2, 3, or 3, 2, 1 or X, Y, Z for all it matters. There is a finite, limited sequence (use this as a checklist, if you must):

111
112
113

121
122
123

131
132
133

211
212
213

221
222
223

231
232
233

311
312
313

321
322
323

331
332
333

Sorry for the length, but any way you choose there are only nine times three or twenty-seven TOTAL combinations. Just wait till you get to the Water Plant. Ha! I hope you are lucky and get it in your first few random clicks, all I can say. *Pokes siggy.*

Once again, I must say, I got my "3rd day" prize before 12.00am. (about 5 minutes before).

So in fact, I got 2nd and 3rd prize on same day.

But it still looks like it is once every 24hours thing. I keep checking back but now I only have the first prize page.

[anjuna]

Daze, I have to add my experience here, as I noticed even more confusion earlier. I got my first set of original prizes AND went back for the AVI + 'first' additional prize on the same first day (just before midnite). I couldn't stay up later last night (day after first day) so I missed my 'second' prize. Today I got another anyway. So either way, 24 hours and/or resetting at midnite is not so bad. Means at worst, those that got their first freebie and cannot forever wait up until around midnite or so to collect only miss one prize.

I am still happy. I know I can't sit up every nite on neo waiting for "just before midnight" when I can collect my prize from King Altador. Just let it 'reset' to your normal 'waking prize taking hour' and all should be fine.

I've used those, and I'm still stuck. Though, I'll use them again.

[anjuna]

WolfMaiden, even if you lost track you should hit it eventually. Order helps, though, I find. Exit, re-enter, clear your cache, and limit your History to 1 day if need be.

No one wants to do more than the max. 27 combos if need be.
So maybe start over from scratch and keep very close track?

*Pokes siggy again.* The instructions there may be a little more explicit.

EDIT: The only weird default browser glitch I can think of is if you use IE and left the setting to "detect page changes auto" (it doesn't work on neo). Change that to "check page change on every page load" for such.

And to futher clarify that, the CLICK itself WILL register fine and you can notice the URL change. It is usually the picture, image, only saved in cache that could be confusing you if you are going by visual cues alone.

I live in Australia, so 12.00am is 5.00pm here, so I am very lucky, no staying up late or setting alarm clocks for me.

I also think it is a 24 hr prize, I mentioned that in my last post.

So I should be using IE instead of Firefox?

EDIT: Also, I clicked the link, and got lost and confused. Heres the link I've been using, to help me find the locations http://petpages.neopets.com/~Aardax

Yes, I agree with you Daze, is why I said since (I am at NST here heh) I picked up my prizes after 11PM as I can recall, but before midnight NST.

I just am not the type of person can wait every day until "juuuuuuuust before midnight" to click to get a prize (almost similar to the way the WoM used to be run, remember?) My computer may be on 24/7 but I am not.

EDIT: WolfMaiden, I don't know what is confusing except that you have so many sources trying to 'explain' things to you that it is more confusing than it should be? Pick one you understand best and use that, is my advice. Even if it is not my own 'guide' in which case your step is here, the link listed on the right side 'bar' of common links (below that the old Altador plot links):

I don't personally know if FF has some setting that is not user-friendly for this, but it wouldn't surprise me, heh. I can't advise changing your interface to something less familiar to you either. (I might for the Water Plant, though.) Use the checklist.

There are only 27 combinations possible. Good luck and since I am heading to sleep soon maybe someone else can help you further if I am not around.

[WolfMaiden]

I copied the codes you posted there....I'll try them again.....and let you know what happens......hopefully I missed one, or messed one up, and I can get the goblet clickable....I'm gonna so slow this time, so I dont mess up. Thank you for all your help. I now, I must have been a pain
