Tales of Dacardia Mobile App Guide

A new compensation calendar has debuted in Tales of Dacardia as an apology for some of the announcements stating that the Festival of Neggs Donation Drive would go through May 4th, when in actuality it ended on May 3rd.


This calendar has four days of prizes and will be available through May 23rd, so log in to the app for any four calendar days today through May 23rd to claim all of the prizes.

For more information check out our event guide:

We're continuing our monthly tradition: an update on all things new and refreshed last month at Jellyneo!

Here's a rundown of what's new here from the past month.

---

Neopian Times Guide Refresh
We've modernized our various guides on aspects of the Neopian Times to reflect the current state of the Times, such as how to participate in collaborative issues, the cadence of the publication schedule, and tips for getting your work published by the current editor. We've also united our guides into one central hub!

Festival of Neggs Coverage


The Festival of Neggs 2025 took place from April 10th through 19th. We kept our guide updated each day with the location of the hidden neggs, as well as summarizing the final prizes (which you can still claim, if you haven't yet)!


Similarly, we have all the details on the Festival's Neocash component, Dip & Dye Neggs, which will remain available through May 10th:

April Fools
We've added a recap of the April Fools shenanigans on Neopets.com, which saw the return of the Sceptic Tank originally featured in the 2023 April Fools prank, as well as some apropos banner ad parodies and a brand new avatar. You can read our full summary of it all here:



We also had a little fun for our own April Fool's prank, time-traveling our homepage by randomly displaying seasonal holiday news posts and site themes from the past year!

Jellyneo Dark Mode Site Themes + "Pirates & Scallywags" Site Theme
Speaking of site themes! We are in the process of putting the finishing touches on universal dark mode for all site themes here at Jellyneo. Currently, if your browser settings are set to use dark mode, that preference will be respected by our theme and turn JN into a darker version. We're still working on tweaking the themes along with testing it across departments, as well as adding a dark mode toggle regardless of your browser preference.

Also, enjoy our brand new "Pirates & Scallywags" theme! This will be our seasonal theme for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" on September 19th, but you can also opt in to use it year round. To change your site theme, scroll to the very bottom of any page here at JN and look for the "Your Site Theme" section in the footer. Your preference is saved to your device and sticks across most of JN.

Tales of Dacardia


Our Tales of Dacardia guide has continued to expand in the last month.

We've got a guide up for the Festival of Neggs event. The event's Donation Drive just wrapped up last weekend, but the daily login calendar will remain available through May 9th. We also have relevant event-related updates to our Resources listing and Premium Parlour guide.


We've also overhauled our Wheel of Prizes guide with the latest changes, which includes a couple new slots as well as expanded opportunities for prizes on Neopets.com!

Faerie Fragments
The beleaguered Faerie Fragments mobile app received some much-needed stability improvements last month, allowing us to continue to enhance our guide.

First up, we have an event guide for the current seasonal event, the Enchanted Egg Hunt. This event continues with the same general format of previous events, while also adding a new activity: the Hatchery!


TNT is currently running a "Hatchery Challenge" promotion to reward the community with Neopets.com prizes for participating in the Hatchery. You can find out more on the details of this in our news post.

We've also continued to develop more guides in our hub for what we are calling "Bonus Activities": the various minigames and features the app offers to earn (or buy) in-game rewards.

Today is the final day to participate in the Donation Drive that is part of the Festival of Neggs event in Tales of Dacardia. This includes the prize shop! At the end of the day today, the prize shop will permanently close, and any unused Crabby Tickets will be forfeited.


Although some in-game announcements imply the Drive will go through May 4th, the event's timer in game counts down to the end of May 3rd.

For more information check out our event guide:

Today, the Festival of Neggs themed event has begun in Tales of Dacardia. If you didn't already complete it, you'll need to do the short introductory quest to paint the plaza for the festival.

The mechanics of the event are the same as previous donation events in Tales of Dacardia. You donate items for points, which you can then exchange for a variety of in-app prizes and Neopets.com prizes if you are linked to NeoPass. There are also some bonuses for total donation amounts. As with previous events, you can pay real money to double the amount you can donate per day.

This event will run through May 4th, slightly shorter than the themed login calendar.


Additionally, a new feature has been enabled today. The pirate Bruce on the shore, Captain QuickFinger, is now offering a variety of Neopets.com prizes for Pearly Neggs. Many of these are valuable rewards from the on site Festival of Neggs that just ended, including the Overstamped Stamp.

The Bruce's offerings are only available until May 11th. However, the in game announcement of his arrival suggests that in the future, he will be returning with different selections of items to claim.

Note: The update for the Festival of Neggs has also introduced a bug where the app's Photo Mode is largely inoperable. All buttons to change poses and filters are greyed out, which means if you get a daily quest that needs you to use one, you currently cannot complete it. Also, it appears if you take a photo, then any actions in the game after the point will not be saved when you reopen the game. It is advised to not use Photo Mode at all until this is fixed.

Yesterday, Tales of Dacardia released an update in preparation for the Easter-themed event which will begin on April 21st. Today, however, the Easter daily login calendar has launched. It will run through May 9th.

There is also a short introductory quest to repaint the town plaza for the Festival of Neggs in preparation for the event. Special coloured Neggs are awarded for completing it, which are also available from debris piles (rarely) for the time being.

Additionally, the Wheel of Prizes has been refreshed. Now, many of the segments that previously awarded in-app items will now award Neopets.com items to those with a linked NeoPass.

A selection of Easter-themed items are also now available at the Pearly Parlour, along with a new paid Crabby Capsule themed to the season. The Plushie Paintbrush has been added to the paid shop, along with the return of the Cybunny Neopet unlock (which now comes with an exclusive paint colour themed after a Lindt Bunny).

There's also a new character present on the shore, Captain QuickFinger. That feature isn't yet live, however, and will be activated along with the rest of the Easter event on April 21st.
