Latest Neopets News

I overshot HP by a single point a few weeks ago and realized after that there's no items that reduce HP reliably, so these are actually somewhat useful. I wish they'd add some that increase stats as well though; there's not much benefit to fighting in the BD other than the occasional codestone drop.

They're in the Neggery for 22 tokens each as well. Interesting!

WOW! People have been asking for stat decreasers for a long time!

Thank you, TNT!

I just got a "Sluggish Negg Slice" from the Snow Faerie on medium difficulty :3

Got a Dumb Negg Slice from Hulking Wraith (Hard) today.

Update for statistic purposes: No neggs from either the Snowager on easy or the Walein on hard. Might just be a low drop rate.

This is fantastic! I'm so happy to see such a great new feature introduced that's not paywalled. I got a super bonus just when my battle pet was going to go up to level 250, so I was extremely disappointed that it meant I couldn't train with both tan codestones and red for a while.

I just need to wait I guess now to find out what opponents/domes the draining negg drops in.

no neggs from Kreleudan Bot on Hard

Dumb Negg Slice from battling the Hulking Wraith

Oh, I battled Hulking Wraith on Hard

Dumb Negg Juice Negg from jetsam ace on easy

Dude this is HUGE. finally I can have whichever pet I want as my active without worry about REs irrevocably f*cking up my perfect numbers. *cries in ocd joy*

"slices" my butt, someone bit into those

Received "Draining Negg Slice" from Kaia on medium difficulty

Lazy Negg Slice from Jetsam Ace (Hard)

Lazy Negg Slice from Walein on Medium. I just want something to keep my Level in Check so I can stay below those thresholds even if I get quests or random events.

Neat. As said, pretty much their main use would be lowering an overshot stat (either so you don't have to train Level for the Training Schools which would push you to the next cost threshhold or you have a L54 Neopet that somehow gained an unwanted stat increase).

That said, while this is a nice option to have, I still see it as only a band-aid. I argue that these three other things should be done that are connected to this:

1. Just in general the Training Schools should be redone so that it's the individual stat that needs to be lower than the Level Restrcition, not every stat. It makes no sense that if my Neopet is "too high" in Strength it can't train in HP, Defense, or Agility if their below the Level Restriction. Problem is that would involve fiddling with the Training School's ancient code and I imagine this may be a bit more complicated than simply removing the waiting punishment from cancelling a course.

2. Speaking of which, they need to remove the waiting punishment for cancelling a course to the Secret Ninja Training School. Especially now that it looks like Red Codestone prices are beginning to rise again.

3. Finally, there should be a way to redistribute points between stats. Like I wouldn't mind swapping over some of my Neopets' Movement points to their Strength, Defense, and HP.

Anyway, for those wondering what-is-what and don't want to check each Negg's Item Database Page:

* Draining Negg/Slice - Level
* Sickly Negg/Slice - HP
* Lazy Negg/Slice - Strength
* Gnarly Negg/Slice - Defense
* Sluggish Negg/Slice - Movement
* Dumb Negg/Slice - Intelligence
* Dumb Negg Juice Negg (no Slice) - Intelligence
* Magic 6 (no Slice) - Random

For the most part the Neggs make sense for the stat that they decrease. Draining being a sink is clever, I'm having a tough time thinking of an alternate depiction for lowering Level (maybe a Shrinking Negg?). Gnarly I like the design (especially of its Slice) though think it could have a more fittin

though think it could have a more fitting name like "Brittle" (also for some reason it's the only full Negg that JN didn't show but it's on the Item Database). Though I don't know why anyone would want to use a Magic 6 Negg, decreasing stats is something you'd want to be in complete control of (also don't know why it's designed after a Magic 8 Ball, someone on TNT have a bad experience with one of them?). Also don't know why there's two Intelligence decreasing Neggs, infact Dumb Negg Juice Negg feels like it's a prototype for either the Dumb Negg or Dumb Negg Slice. Odd.

@ poni: Tavi's Quests are awarding them? Huh, there might now be a reason to do Tavi's Quests now.

@ akarroa: Bitten? Draining, Sickly, Lazy, and Dumb look like they were torn in half like they were made of paper (they also took Sickly's blanket & thermometer and Lazy's blanket, rude). Meanwhile Gnarly was just cracked in half like an egg and Sluggish looks like the snail was removed in a struggle.

I got Dumb Negg Juice Negg as the prize for completing the Mysterious Negg Cave puzzle just now!

Sluggish Negg Slice

from snowager on easy!

Aww I needed these neggs some months ago. This is fantastic for when you want to keep training on the same academy until you reach certain stats!

@Dave, nothing very relevant but the last negg link leads to a mystery capsule item instead

I just got a Sickly Negg Slice from Tea Time With Tavi.

And now a Sluggish Negg Slice from Tavi

Oh no, not Tea Time with Tavi once again...

Prices are gonna Inflate once again for really no reazon

Well, from my part I can't care about them stat decreasers. I don't think or feel like I'm gonna be missing much with them on the market.

Dumb Negg Juice Negg from Tavi today!

Just a heads up! These will NOT reduce stats if your pet already has negative stats!
For example, poopkilla is level -3, and upon consuming a Draining Negg:
"poopkilla eats the Draining Negg, but doesn't feel any different. Their level can't go any lower."

Got a Sickly Negg Slice from battling the Hulking Wraith on Hard.

Somehow through all of these comments and the post I still have no idea how much each of these decreases stats by. Is it a range, or does each one decrease by a specific amount?
