The healing faerie, however, will not always heal your NeoPets. She may raise their hits points or give you a potion instead. You can visit Healing Springs every 30 minutes, so if you don’t get cured the first time, just go back in 30 minutes. Neopets (originally stylized NeoPets, and currently neopets) is a virtual pet website.Users can own virtual pets ('Neopets'), and buy virtual items for them using one of two virtual currencies.One currency, called Neopoints, can be earned within the site, and the other, Neocash, can either be purchased with real-world money, or won by chance in-game.

There is lots of fun to be had on Krawk Island, and that includes searchin’ for booty! Er– treasure, that is. Over at Buried Treasure, you can put down a little money for a chance to win BIG money, and more!

PLAYING BURIED TREASURE

Buried Treasure is a very simple game. First, you must agree to pay 300np to play the game, which you can do every 3 hours. All of the people that play pay this, and it all going into a cumulative jackpot (that begins at 1 million NP) that will go to the next winner!
NOTE: During the month of November, Buried Treasure only costs 150np to play, and on Neopets’ birthday (November 15th), Buried Treasure is free!

The possible winnings here are the cumulative jackpot of 2,845,550 NP! Wish me luck. 😉

This next part is easy as pie: you simply click anywhere on the map. You do not have to choose a specific scroll — you can click between them, or on the outsides of them.

For those who are just playing for the random prizes and even the highly elusive avatar, where exactly you chose on the board is not very important. These are random, so just keep playing and eventually you’ll get what you’re seeking! For those seeking the jackpot, head down to the “Cheats” section of this guide for some tips.

PRIZES

There are four possible prizes you could receive:

Neopoints (1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 5,000, or 20,000 Neopoints)
Random items (including “Booby prizes”)

BURIED TREASURE CHEATS

The reason that you can click anywhere on the board instead of the specific pieces of paper is because the board is made up of a lot of specific coordinates (based on the pixels). When you click somewhere on the map and you’re redirected to the screen in which you receive your prize (or not…), the URL looks like this

Look at the last two numbers of this URL: 111 and 109. These are the coordinates that you clicked on! This matters for a couple of reasons. First, there is suspicion that the treasure tends to move across the board. Users that are seeking the Treasure of the Black Pawkeet often keep track of this in the Games Chat, so it can be smart to check there before playing, especially if you’re looking to make some money! You would be able to go directly to the prize page with whichever coordinates you’d want — simply change the coordinates in the URL above and copy/paste it in to your URL bar!

For those seeking the jackpot, this is a good way of executing a prediction as to where the treasure may be!

NOTES

Because this is a daily that awards Neopoints and items, Buried Treasure cannot be played on side accounts. To learn more about what you can and cannot do on side accounts, check out our Side Accounts Guide.

I don't like to see my Neopets go hungry, but i also don't like to spend too much buying food to feed them, so i try and keep a ist of really cheap foods that i can search for using the Shop Wizard and which are most likely to be selling for 1NP. I search for items like dried prunes & apricots, musho mushy peas, cheops plant, bagguss, ummagine, brown sauce, oh and there are quite a few different types of fish which sell really cheaply. So what other foods (other than gross foods) would you suggest i search for that might come up for only 1NP on a Shop Wizard Search?

go underwater fishing...free. pick up your free jelly and omelette everyday. you can also buy these for really cheap in a lot of user shops, if you want more. Tombola is also a good place to occasionally get free food as well.

You can't be serious! Why are you buying food for them? The easiest way is to put them in the newlodge. I put them into the lodge at the cockroach towers for the max 28 days. I will be notified by email when they are out so I will just go put them for another 28 days. It costs just 5 NP per pet per day if I remember correctly. It is dirt cheap. But if you really want to feed them, just go pick up free omelettes and jelly - you get a free one everyday - and that's enough for 2 pets already.

I always used omelettes from the prehistoric place or I just let them live in the Neohotel or whatever it was called. It fed them for me so I didn't have to do anything.

There are a lot of free food links that you can use to feed them once a day / every 24 hours. Here are some of the items that I buy to feed them when they are hungry .. Raw Potato Yellow Growth Super Juicy Berry Nutritional Blockberry Black Widow Truffle

Tchea Fruit also sells pretty cheap. There are people that still sell omelettes cheap. But then again, the fish are also cheap. However, not every pet will eat every fish and not every fish can be eaten. So that is also something to keep in mind.
