Four questions about neopets

[Cristers]

Hi I have four questions that I was hoping someone may have the answers to.

Just started playing neopets again (stopped about two/three years ago, & joined in 2001) a lot has changed! I just got back into playing right around the first day they remodelled the site. Anywho, i'd like to start getting more involved with all the games/plots to - well, just basically everything. (I mean, i've been a user for so long with only one trophy to show for it! I miss neopian life.) I've also missed out on a ton of updates & info. I came across PPT via google and everyone on the forum seems really nice - also really knowledgable/experienced. So, sorry if some of my questions are really basic (I feel like a newbie again)

So for the questions:

1. I've heard that you can demolish a neohome and that the money spent will go to the Neopian bank. - Would that be MY bank, or just neopets in general?

2. How much does a disco fever paintbrush usually cost now? (poor kacheek has been christmas since 2004, would like to know how much to save)

3. Where can I find Kadoatery food? Most of them want vinarok, but can't seem to find any. (noticed some owners have fed over 3,000. if the item is really rare, then they must be incredibly rich lol)

4. Plots/defenders of neopia: I'm a little confused about the two. I'm interested in trying, but I don't really know much about either of them. A lot of people seem to like it though.

Ok well, thanks so much for reading - & hopefully i'll find some answers!

1. If you demolish your neohome, you WON'T get refunds. Money will not get back to your bank.

2. Disco Fever Paint Brush is 300k-350k on the trading post right now.

3. I'm not really knowledgeable about the Kadoatery, sorry.

4. Defenders of Neopia is just about battling. You can battle opponents and get trophies, and there's no time limit to finish.

Plots are events that only happen during a certain period. The event going on right now is "Journey to the Lost Isle". They give prizes for participating, usually plots involve puzzles and/or battledome opponents. You can check the Plot board here on PPT to see what's going on, the guide covers almost everything:

Hope it's helpful and I'm sure someone will come around that knows about teh mysterious kadoatery!

I have no idea what's up with the Kadoa. Although I do know that the things that aren't Vinarok, can be found in the shop wizard. Every time I see that page though, the Vinarok ones are always the ones that are unfed.

There are some guides about the Kadoatery, just google for it.

In a nutshell: the kadoatery refreshes once in a while, just like a shop. I think the average refresh rate is once every 30 minutes or so, the next time is often stated on the Neoboards. When that refresh occurs, the Kadoaties will ask for any kind of food, ranging from cheap to unbuyable. As you can guess, the cheap ones are usually gone within 1-2 seconds, leaving only the expensive ones that nobody wants to do. You can find lots of detailed info on those guides

The Neoboards help a lot with the Kadoatery. Every 30-45 minutes or so, it "restocks" with the Kaddies wanting cheap food. You have to be quick to feed them the good food. Do NOT feed it anything over 100k (don't even spend over 40k on 1 kad, because you will go broke quickly)

ok, got it! thanks to everyone who helped in answering my questions (and yes, it was all very helpful!) I appreciate you all taking the time to respond/clear things up.

now....onto the plot!
