Hi, I'm new here. You can call me Emma, if you want. Anyways just thought I'd best introduce myself! I'm honestly awful at introducing myself, but I'll give it a go! I'm 18 (My 18th was quite recent! I turned 18 on the 8th), and I'm Scottish. I'm struggling my way through college, and hopefully will end up going to University once my two year course is up! I like video games, I have since I was young. Although to tell the truth I'm AWFUL at them, I either get too distracted to finish the main quest, or I'm just really rubbish at it and can't complete it. I LOVE music, and I've spent so much money on going to gigs this year alone, but it's worth it to see my favourite bands live! Anyways, I guess if you want to know more then you can ask (although to be honest I'm not sure why you'd want to know more about me, considering I'm really boring!)

Now some questions for you I guess ^_^

  1. Other than questing what's a good way to gain sP?
  2. To get the most out of questing should I just do every quest (that I can afford) or should I be setting money limits?
  3. Is restocking a good way of building sP or should I wait till I have a certain amount?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Subeta!! Another good way to make sP is the Item Hunt, you can find it going to subeta> games > item hunt. As for the quests, there's limits but I can't exactly tell you which are those, you have to find it out by yourself, I guess. I don't usually spend more than 50,000 sP on one quests unless it's Saggitarius. And restocking, I have no idea. I am not a fan of that :P

Hi, welcome to Subeta!

Restocking is OK if you're just starting off. Food usually has the highest profit margin without needing to memorize rarities and such.

How are things in Scotland?

I set price limits on my quests, usually up to 50k per quest, usually make a profit. (of course saggi I allow myself up to 150k sometimes.) With the Wizard tokens, I usually vend and hope for some profitable things.

What type of music are you into? I think the last artist I went to see live was Kill the noise at some club a few weeks ago. Other then that the last concert was MGMT.

I'm into gaming as well! Mainly PC, but I also have a Wii U, xbox360 and my 3DS. I'm decent with games, but I sometimes (like you said) get distracted and stray from the main quest line or I go to Multiplayer.

Hi thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to check out restocking. Things in Scotland are alright, weather is more horrible than usual, but eh it's not THAT far from typical Scottish weather so I'm used to it I suppose haha

Hi thanks for the tips. Yeah I've been using the 50k per quest limit and it seems to be making me a decent profit which is nice. Will check out wizard tokens. Eh mostly like rock (well more indie rock), so bands like The Smiths, The View, Oasis, Kasabian etc etc. Last gig I was at was Kasabian actually. Ah nice, yeah I've wanted to get into PC gaming, but I just don't have the setup or the money to get a decent setup. The computer we have is pretty much broken, and gaming on the laptop isn't that great (despite the fact it can handle games at a very high setting), I find it has a tendency to get very hot very quickly, so I tend to stick with more simulation/management games on my laptop, then the other games I like I play them on one of my consoles.

Happy belated birthday!

With the quests, the quantity of items and the rarities of them affect how much sP you get. If you pay attention to if something is super rare, or mundane, you can eventually gauge an idea of what to budget for quests. Some quests give more sP as reward, and some are more item-oriented (they can give you higher rarity item, even Subeautique items!)

  1. I'd say check out the games room, we have multiple types, flash and non-flash both. I can get about 20k from playing Matlal Jewels, so if you can score well and send it in 10 times, you could easily make 200k from it.

  2. When I first started out, I definitely limited my spendings. If I had to pay over 20k for an item, and the NPC for the quest was notorious at undercutting my rewarded sPs, I usually would end up giving up the quest. I recommend doing Wizard Quests; I rarely ever have to buy an item worth more than 10k.

Course, times are slightly different now. I'd recommend not spending over 35k for one or both items requested. And stay away from Saggitarius' quests. He's a rip-off and smelly.

  1. Restocking is pretty good here still, yes. In fact, it's a lot easier to time than Neopets' system. Food might be a good starting place, but if you really want to get to know the right items to restock, definitely stake out some of the smaller shops, like Apocalyptic Apothecary.

Smaller shops don't restock often, but they do put out some good items. You can learn lists of the good items to go for by researching via Subetalodge, our go-to source for new and old items alike.

Hello and welcome! I love Scotland! ^^

A lot of people play games, but I don't usually have the time for them. So, once you acquire items that you don't want you can put them in your shop and sell them. That definitely helps generate at least some sP.

It depends on who I'm doing a quest for. Some of them don't pay out in sP as well as others, but they give you items that sell for a nice amount of sP a lot of the time. I won't spend more than 3,000 on Alexander's quests and he often gives me items that are worth around 100,000 sP. With Sagittarius I don't generally spend more than 50-75,000. Definitely do the Wizard's quests!

I don't really restock. ^^

Hope you have fun!

Welcome to Subeta! It seems like our lovely community has done a superb job at answering your questions, so I don't have much to add. But! I would love to extend my warmest welcome to you and your adorable Jollin, Casablancas!

I just want to add that we might be the same person...I'm just like you, 18 and struggling my way through college and I love alternative/indie rock/post-punk. I gotta say, your taste in music is impeccable!

Again: welcome, welcome, welcome!

Welcome to subeta, Emma! I'm Bridget, or you can call me by my UN, doesn't matter to me! I am also a new user to the subeta world, and still trying to learn my ropes around. What type of gigs did you go too? And what bands did you see? I use to go to concert about once a month, maybe even more, but it's been cut down since I've been going to school and working on top of that.

The only advice I can give is for making sP - if you play Caliph's Tomb, finish each game with no cards left, and play for the maximum number of times a day, you'll make 200,000 sP in a day from that alone. You can make millions much quicker. :)

why thank you for the welcome! Thanks for the compliment, you obviously have an impeccable taste in music yourself! thanks for the welcome. Went to a gig not long ago actually, was on the Friday. Went and seen The View. I go to gigs quite a lot, tbh. Probably multiple times a month, but then some months I don't have any gigs booked. Got a few gigs booked for next year as well. -pan thanks for the tip, will be sure to try out Caliph's Tomb. Thanks for the welcome, and the tips. They were really useful so thanks!
