    Ways of Making NP
    A comprehensive guide to ways of making NP!

    Main Shop Restocking
    One of the most common and effective ways of making NP. This entails going to a main shop (Food, Magic, etc), refreshing until you see a profitable item in stock, buying the item, and selling it for a profit. An all-around excellent way for making medium to large NP. The illegit form of main shop restocking is called Main Shop Autobuying (MSABing) or simply ABing for short.

    A way to make legit Rsing alot easier

    User Shop Restocking (Shop Wizard Sniping)
    User Shop Restocking (aka Shop Wizard Sniping) is a type of restocking where you restock in user shops (as opposed to the main shops). This method utilizes the Shop Wizard to find cheaply priced items in user shops. This relies on users accidentally under-pricing items in their shops or users transferring items/NP. This is generally much lower profit, but also easier than main shop restocking. The illegit term is User Shop Autobuying (USABing).

    Auction Sniping
    Similar to user shop restocking, auction sniping relies on browsing through auctions for cheap deals. Although much more profitable than user shop restocking, its also much harder due to the large number of people sniping. Profits are dependent upon luck as well as skill, but is also generally less profitable than main shop restocking.

    Trading Post Reselling
    A difficult but worthwhile way of making NP. You buy hard to sell items in TP at "reseller" prices and sell them later to a collector or quester at full value. This method requires patience and a lot of start up NP.

    Igloo Restocking
    Igloo restocking is very similar to main shop restocking except you restock at the Igloo Garage Sale (found at the top of Terror Mountain). The Igloo stocks items that are almost always profitable (though with varying degrees). Illegit term is Igloo Autobuying (IABing).

    Random Events
    This is a low profit and unreliable way of making NP, but requires very little skill. Just refresh around the Neopets site and hope you get a decent random event (you can get some very profitable items). Illegit term is spidering.

    Sponsor Clicks
    Neopets allows users to complete sponsor (advertisement) offers in return for NP. This is only profitable (and very much so) if done illegitly. The illegit term is generally known as Image Clicks.

    Gaming
    As the name suggests, this simply requires the user to play games around the site and earn Neopoints proportionately to their score. Illegit term is scoresending or simply hacking (the two terms describe two different methods of cheating).

    Pound Surfing
    This method is an indirect way of making NP. Go to the Pound with a 4 month+ account and keep refreshing the list of pets until you see a good one (painted, LE, restricted, etc). Then simply adopt the pet and then sell it in the Blackmarket. Of course, selling pets is against the rules, so this is inherently an illegit way of making NP.

    Golden Dubloon
    This is a very little known way of making NP. This uses the fact that 2x 1 dubloon coins are worth more than 1x 2 dubloon coin. By buying the correct items at the Golden Dubloon (located at Krawk Island), you can actually make NP from breaking large denomination coins into more profitable lower denominations.

    Employment Agency
    A decent way of making NP every once in a while. This method uses the employment agency (Faerie City in Faerieland) to gain NP. Get a job from the agency, complete it, and collect your reward. Simple, but effective.

    Investing
    This method can be extremely profitable if done correctly. You buy a certain item (or several) in bulk in hopes of the price rising in the future. If you can accurately predict the best of these items, there is a lot of profit to be made. Illegit term is inflating and deflating (two terms describing two different illegit methods)

    Stock Market
    Not to be confused with investing, the stock market plays, well... the stock market! Buy low, sell high, very simple, yet can net quite a profit in the long run.

    Daily-Do's
    Yep, just doing those dailies can net quite some profit in the long run. Very simple and effective when automated.

    Thanks for posting this. I find RSing and sponsor clicks are the best ways of making NPs. Stock Market if you can wait long enough
