    They're not that big a deal, don't misunderstand me... I know, just visit the Faerie Helaing Springs until you're cured... but still... why is it every time my pet has gotten sick in over a year of playing, the cure has required one of the crazy expensive medicines??? I've never gotten something I can cure with Neoflu pills - if I did, I'd be so happy I'd really go buy the pills & use them - NO, it always takes Medicinal Scrambled Eggs or Grumble-B-Gone tablets or Magic Goop.... is it just me? Was I a really bad person in a previous life?

    it al has to do with what illness neo makes common they dont make it = odds on getting an illness so the ones that happen most usely means cure cost more. like for ex what ever the sickness is at the wheel will usely get a huge spike in price

    2ndly how much of cure is given out threw the pharm pure supply and demand here of course

    I suppose I'm lucky, then. In my years of playing I've only had a pet get sick once.

    Well, common diseases = more demand for cure = higher prices

    People are making neopoints too easy these days and this disease thingy looks like it was thought about a long ago.

    Keep the economy flowing :p

    Neopets dont die (magic world they live in), I've never understood why they added them and made it to be a random events.

    i've never understood why the cures have any value when there is no down side really to being sick and you can get cured for free from the healing springs

    Actually, the healing springs is a cheap, effective method of healing every illness that I know of, even some requiring medicinal soap etc.

    The wheel of excitement gives my pet Chickaroo or whatever it's called almost every day. Herbal scrambled eggs are about 12K NPs. So, I am a bad owner and I let them stay sick until they are healed at the healing springs lol

    As stated, it rarely used or known but try the healing springs. I was just wondering with what the above user posted, is that 100K disease something you get from the scarab place..?

    Yeah, as someone previously said, those diseases which are most common only have a high price tag because of that

    Most Expensive Diseases are:

    Ugga Ugaa
    Reptillious
    Chickaroo
    Neomonia

    etc

    Because they are the diseases given out most.

    I just can't imagine anyone actually paying for the cure.....

    And while I'm on the subject of things that don't make sense... med soaps restock at around 5500np and sell for around 10k, while herbal scrambled eggs restock at around 400np and sell for 12-14k...???????? Stupid. And i don't care what the rarity index is, you see just as many of both types in there.

    healing springs can only increase hp points of your pet,but for specific illness you need special cure-for neomites neomites injections,for chicaroo herbal eggs etc.

    Yeah ... ive gotten my pet sick a few times, I was wondering how my pet got cured ( Yay healing springs). But really just wait till healing springs cures your pet, considering how they never die. I think ive starved my pet for like 3 years o.0.
