    The ac is ok, it is cool that it can give u np or neoitems but i like how they can give u the avatars, too. :D . But anyway, the items that they give you are worth under 500 np or so, but then in around 1-3 years the prices can go up to really high. :D

    bleh, I haven't visited the advent calendar at all this year. I keep thinking about it then decide not too because the items end up being cheap and just take up space in my inventory/SDB~

    Yeah, but it takes like years for the prices to inflate. And you can still get an X-mas PB as a winter event there if you know how. :wink:

    It's years of experience, and you just have to know the right people! :wink: You have to keep refreshing at the front of the advent calendar, and you have a possibility of getting a Christmas Paint Brush. But you can discover treasure (usually only a few hundred nps), or the Ice Devil (he steals one of your items), a snowball, or you get a icy wind that chills you to your bones.

    Can you still get a Winter Random Event every 10 hours, or has it changed?

    Yeah, and especially when TNT tries so hard to make something gross and humorous at the same time.

    1000 items for the packrat avatar :)

    I like the Advent Calander, just don't like it when they do that stupid event where you get this nova rod then they go "aww it was stolen by the pant devil". They did that too many times through out the years lol.

    it's infinite (i think)
    someone on another forum is trying to "blow up the natinal neopian" by stuffing his sdb full of things
    currently he's at 20k or so (and i know people with more!)

    1000 DIFFERENT items

    The advent calendar on subeta is awesome, the items are very limited and special on there. and worth alot of cash. people actually collect them, because of the great art.
