Plots

Main article: Neopets plots

Current Neopets plots have a comic book-style story style, often leading up to a "war". Once the plot has reached a certain point, players are sometimes given the option to choose a side to support. Fighters are given a series of enemies to fight in the Battledome in order to gain points for their side.

In an early 2005 plot (Curse of Maraqua), players were given the option to "support" a side by collecting items or playing games instead of fighting. The newest plot took place in the Lost Desert, where there was a very complex puzzle and fighting was very much sidelined; only three war challengers were released, one of which was a boss type challenger and was such a strong challenger that it was virtually unbeatable unless you had completed all of the puzzle aspects of the plot.

The Neopian arch-villain, Dr. Sloth, is prominently featured in several site-wide stories. His greatest achievements were the enslavement of the Grundos, an alien-like race, and his creation of the Transmogrification Potions, which change the appearance or species of a Neopet into a mutant version (this is supposed to be evil but actually the potions are highly sought after, especially the Draik Transmogrification Potion).

Collections

There are various options for collecting. Players can choose to collect certain items—often those that are rare or expensive—and place them in a "gallery". (Neopets has recently established an official gallery system, rather than players displaying items in their shops at outrageously high prices, as this used to be the only way Neopians could show off their items.) Other options include virtual trading cards (not to be confused with actual TCG cards), stamps, and coins, which can be collected in albums. Neohomes can be bought for a certain number of Neopoints for each room. Furniture may be placed in the Neohomes, and extensions (lights, insurance, etc.) can be purchased. The goal is usually to try to win a spotlight award or to show off items and collections.

Quests

Users can occasionally get Faerie Quests from one of the many faeries—Fire, Light, Earth, Air, Dark, Water, Fountain, Space or even the Faerie Queen. The user is asked to quest for a certain item associated with that faerie (like clothes, trading cards, magic items, etc.).

To make the quests more challenging, users cannot use the Shop Wizard during Faerie Quests, which allows one to quickly search through user-owned shops. One must find the items themselves through other sources such as auctions or the trading post or ask someone for help. The faeries will increase one of a pet's statistics, allowing it to be a better fighter in the Battledome. The Fire Faerie will increase a pet's strength; the Light Faerie will increase level; the Earth Faerie will feed and heal one pet; the Air Faerie will increase the speed; the Dark Faerie will raise hit points, the Water Faerie increases defence, The Space Faerie raises level by 4, and the Faerie Queen randomly raises one stat by a great amount, or all stats by a small amount.

Completing a rare Fountain Faerie quest is usually very difficult, but if done, the Fountain Faerie allows a user to paint one of their pets almost any colour available. Since otherwise users would need to spend between 100,000 and 2,400,000 Neopoints on a paintbrush for a pet, the Fountain Faerie's quests are highly coveted.

Neopians can also go to Jhudora's Cloud or Illusen's Glade for quests with prizes at various levels. For these quests one is allowed to use the Shop Wizard. These specific quests can only be done every 12 hours and have a time limit. The more quests the user completes in a row, the better rewards they receive, but the quests become harder and demand rarer items.
