Hey everyone it is my challenge to myself to get the packrat avvie by midnight nst (from scratch) anyone want to wish me luck?

Good luck. I highly recommend the checklist at Avatarlog.

I wish you the best of luck. I did the whole avatar in a weekend. And phew, I burned out on Neo for about two weeks after. Didn't want to see a Neopet. Didn't want to play a game. But I did get that avatar!!!!! So, I do hope that you don't suffer burn out. And if so, it is a great time to pick up a book or watch a few movies and recharge those brain cells.

thanks for your support *runs to check out Avatarlog*

I suggest buying lots of Usuki sets. Most of them are cheap and there's heaps of them. Good luck

First time I got this avatar, I did it exclusively with items I got off the Money Tree. That was fun!

Good Luck. I recommend Avatarlog's Project Packrat. It' very helpful!

thank you all for the advice I just hit 600 items!!! whee!

EDIT- wooo... retiring for the night... made it all the way to 872 items. I'm freakin exhausted. thanks for all the support, be back in about 8 hours lol.

that item drove me nuts.

Advent items.
Stamps.
Plushies.
Altador items
Jellies
Omelettes
Ice Pops
Burnt Foods
also help, they help lots

Hee, my challenge was to get the avatar without buying anything specifically for the avatar. Took at least a year, maybe more: at least, I started when the avatar came out and just got it a few months ago.

I admit I cheated a little and ate omelettes and jellies, bought an extra of Faerie quest items when they were very cheap, and hung out near the Money Tree and Rubbish Dump as I was getting close. :-)

THREE MORE TO GO!!! I'm gonna meet my goal
I will have completed it in less than 24 hours!!!!!!!

EDIT - Something Has Happened!
You are now eligible to use 'SDB Pack Rat' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

woohooooo!

*Throws Confetti*

Good Job!! You sparked me to do the same... I didn't really know there was a check list for the Packrat Avatar. I used the Avatarlist here for my Avatar collection. I highly doubt I'll finish as quick as you!

Whoa...congratulations! That's pretty amazing!

Just curious, why did you decide to set yourself a time limit of 24 hours?

because i'm incredibly lazy
i knew that if i gave myself too much time i'd just give up... i have to do things in small bursts lol. Besides, it was a fun challenge. United me with my guild members, really opened my eyes to just how much TRUST there is in EKoN
I had guild members loan me their entire collections of items;
plushies, petpets, stained glass windows, books... things that really AREN'T cheap. Just that they trust me like that makes me happy

EDIT- btw, anyone who is looking to do this, here is the GREATEST link ever:

I wouldn't have finished without it. Thanks again, everyone, you have all been so wonderful

Yes, Avatarlog's Project Packrat was the reason why I got my own avatar. For one thing, it was a real online checklist and that's what I like best about it

Congratulations!
