Basic Gift Box Neopets (2024)

FAQs

Where to get basic gift box Neopets? ›

Basic Gift Boxes are not purchasable from the mall; instead, you get them when you redeem a Neocash Card. As of now, the ratio is one box for $5. So if you buy a $10 card, you'll get two boxes. For a $15 card, you'll get three boxes.

Right now, the only way to get rid of Gift Boxes without using them is to use an Upcycle Cookie, so go ahead and pay them forward to a lucky Neopet stopping by the Money Tree!

When you redeem a physical Neocash card, you will receive a certain amount of gift boxes depending on how much the card is worth. For every $5 that you redeem, you will receive one gift box.

Neocash purchased through the site is usually available to your account immediately. However, it occasionally can be delayed, sometimes for up to several hours. If you still do not have your Neocash after 24 hours, it is recommended that you contact Neopets support.

Using a NC Gift Box

During the next step, you choose the person you want to send the item to. If this person isn't one of your Neofriends who show up in the drop down list, it might be wise to copy and paste their username, just to be sure a typing mistake won't sent your neocash item to somebody else.

(V)HTPW / Closet: (Very) hard to part with. This is a list of items that the person either frequently uses or is currently using. Usually people are not willing to trade their HTPW items, but occasionally they will make the trade if it means they are getting a bigger wish in return.

NC Trading

According to Neopets rules, you can only trade NC items for other NC items; you are not allowed to offer or trade Neopoints or Neopoint items for any Neocash items. Most NC trading takes place on the NC Mall Neoboard (commonly referred to as NCC, which stands for "Neocash Chat").

All you need to abandon your pet is at least 250 Neopoints on-hand and be able to click the button below your pet (after typing in your PIN number, if applicable). Visit the abandon page in the Neopian Pound.

The current exchange rate is $1 U.S. and Canadian for 100 NC. So $10 US or CAD would purchase 1000 NC.

The only way that a retired item could be rereleased is through mystery capsules, so if you weren't able to buy these items the first time they were buyable or got them from their original capsules, hope to be lucky in opening capsules or alternatively, trade for them.

What is the value of owls in Neopets? ›

Owls is a Neopian community project aimed at facilitating NC Trading by creating an estimated price value for NC items based on Gift Box Capsules (GBCs). So when you see something like “Owls Value: 1~2,” it means that the item is worth approximately 2 GBCs.
