Neopian Health And Wellness
As a Neopet owner, we are entrusted with the care and well-being of our virtual companion. Despite our best efforts, Neopets may still fall ill after random events, eating or using specific items, unfortunate luck when spinning one of Neopia’s many wheels, or being hit with certain kinds of weapons in the Battledome. One of the first signs of illness in your Neopet is an unhappy facial expression. If your pet looks disgruntled, there’s a high chance they caught a bug. Recognizing the signs and seeking appropriate treatment is critical to their recovery.
Diagnosis
Neopian illnesses typically have a variety of possible treatments, but to determine what your best options are you must first diagnose the condition. To do this, visit their pet lookup page—whatever condition your Neopet is suffering from will be listed by the HP counter. Once you know what you’re up against, head to the Neopian Hospital by way of the Neopian Pharmacy (just ask the shopkeeper) to find a treatment.
Treatments
Depending on the malady, your options may include items from the Neopian Pharmacy, which guarantee recovery, or the less reliable treatments from Lost Desert Medicine or Remarkable Restoratives that have only a chance of curing your pet. These more holistic cures are often cheaper, but they may require more than one treatment.
The holy grails of Neopian medicine are Cooling Ointment and Warm Amber Ointment. These ointments can be used to cure nearly any ailment that may befall your Neopet. In addition to healing any disease, Cooling Ointment has the added advantage of replenishing your Neopets hit points—making it a perfect remedy for afflictions suffered at the hands of a Battledome weapon.
Alternative Healing
If traditional medicine is out of your budget, try The Healing Springs Faerie, located in Faerieland, possesses healing powers and sells rejuvenating potions made with the magical water from the healing spring that can cure a variety of ailments. Ailing Neopians can pay her a free visit once every 30 minutes. Your Neopets also have a chance of being healed after a lucky spin on the Wheel of Knowledge or Excitement, or a particularly lucrative visit to the Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity.
Whatever route you decide to take, your Neopets are sure to be grateful for your compassionate care.
