"To start donating NC gift items, purchase a Gift Pack from the NC mall and will it with goodies! Each Gift Pack can be filled with 3 NC items to be donated."

Oh Neo. Don't ever change.

- I am, but only things that I had in my SDB. I've gotten several morphing potions, but nothing super exciting. I keep hearing rumors of a plot over there. If that happens, I may participate. I do like a good plot.

- I know, right? "Let's bleed every dollar out of the players that we can!" I actually have some NC stuff that I'd donate, but no way am I spending NC to buy a box to donate with. Screw that.

...Wow, this is event is way too complicated. Increasing rarity order?! What is even the point? You're trying to help the needy, what do they care about rarity? And why the hell would we have to spend more NC to give them items that we spent NC on? That doesn't make any sense. This whole event makes me angry. XD and realize just how superior Subeta really is. BUT it did get me to log in to my neo account for the first time in... a really long time (so long that I actually had to type in neopets, my browser didn't fill it in automatically when I hit n), do Trudy, collect my interest, and put my pets in the Neolodge. XD

One might also ask why we have to spend NC to get gift boxes, in order to send items we already spent NC on...

Yeah, I gave up on Neo once I started playing here.

Yeah, the gift box thing was always annoying, but it made a teeny tiny bit more sense... like, when you buy someone a gift you also have to buy a box or a bag to put it in, right? That's how I always explained it. And over time they did end up giving you a lot of ways to get boxes that weren't box caps, I have a million boxes I'll never use (mind you, I never did any NC trading). But donation?! If I go to Goodwill or something and be like, I'd like to donate this, they're not like, "Okay that's great but you have to buy a special box from us to put your stuff in and you can only put three items in here, sorry." That's just stupid.... and greedy as hell.

@ probabilistic Yeah, I'm skipping that part. I'm sure I have tons to donate but I really don't want to buy nc. Especially with the risk of it glitching and not actually getting the nc I paid for. And yeah, once I started to play subeta I lost interest in neo. The only thing that keeps me linked with neo is that I chat in a messenger group with some friends from my guild.

@ Austria. It's bc you get 1 item back every time you donate. The rarity of the items determine the rarity of the item you get back. So if you donate 5 items ranging from r90-99 you get an item from that range. R80-89, r70-79, etc.

I got sucked into it for the past 5 hours digging through my sdb and actually got some great stuff. The best being a krawk. I donated like 310 times though.

ETA: These are my winnings if anyone is curious.

Ohhh, I see. I was thinking it was one item per set (I didn't read the JN post very carefully). That's a little better. Those are some pretty good prizes! I'm surprised all those Draik MPs are worth so little. oO I still remember when Draiks were like, impossible to get...

Yeah draik mps deflated seriously after they introduced the forgotten shore daily. (Pirate draik mps is a possible prize.)

I'm on my second strain with survival. Just got blistered hearts. How are you all doing?

I'm also doing Blistered Hearts for my second strain! I was only able to get one strain last year because I got into the zombie thing at the tail end of the event, it was tough deciding between Freckle Fever, Lobster Face and Blistered Hearts, so I'm glad I've been able to get both of them this year. I like your HA too. :)

I'm on my second virus too but I opted for crack head.

I only got one last year, too. I wasn't in love with the ones this year, so I opted for an old one. I have that one. It's fun to use. :) dolly dreadful is probably my favorite though.

Just got the notice that my infection has matured! I did Love Bug. Looking now for what I'll pick for my second one...

I started with healing and now I've gone for Love Bug. If it matures fast enough, I want to try for Encompassing before Survival is over.

I'm attempting to collect ALL OF THE SKINS, so I'm working my way forward in time. Previous years, I've just gotten one or 2, but starting last year I am trying to fill in the holes in my skin collection. Working on Boobitis at the moment. :)

I can't decide if I want encompassing or not. I wonder if I'd ever use it. - I thought about trying to get them all, too...IDK. Never enough time.

- I'm a completeist. I can't help it! The only one I really like, I already have (cracked head, I think it's called), but I've got the gotta-catch'em-all mentality. It'll take me years, unless they speed up the virus aging process, though.

Is there enough time to get more than three every year? If they continue to put out 4+ every year wouldn't it be impossible to get them all? Not trying to put a damper on it. Just trying to understand.

OMG that weeping angel HA costume!!! That is incredible!!!

Your HA is awesome, and I don't even watch Dr. Who.

Wow, that's a project. Good luck! Some of the skins really gross me out so I'm glad I don't feel the need to complete the set,

Yeah I wasn't too impressed with this year either. Hive Mind was kind of cool (despite my crippling fear of bees and wasps), but then it got really gross at the last stage.
