If you’ve ever been relaxing in a game like Destruct-o-Match II or just mindlessly browsing Neopia when suddenly—BAM—the flashing yellow button of Tarla’s Non-Toolbar Treasures appears, you know that moment of heart-pounding excitement. It’s a mixture of nerves and hope, because if you click fast enough, you could score a fantastic prize from one of Neopia’s most coveted treasure givers.
But don't get too comfortable just yet! To help you become a seasoned Tarla hunter and increase your chances of grabbing those sought-after rewards, let’s dive into some insider tips, some clever tricks, and a bit of strategy. So, without further ado—let's break down how to win big with Tarla's Non-Toolbar Treasures!
1. Locating the Button: Your First Mission
First things first, you need to find the flashing yellow button. If you’re using the Tarla Toolbar, it’s positioned at the far right of your screen—easy enough to spot, right? Normally, the button will be light blue, but when it flashes yellow, that’s your cue to click quickly!
2. Get Ready to Be Quick
This may sound obvious, but speed is everything when it comes to grabbing a prize from Tarla. Imagine yourself as a Kougra, ready to pounce on a fresh meal—fast reflexes are key here. If you’re distracted or slow, someone else might snatch that prize right out of your paws.
3. Avoid Spills: Put Down Your Borovan!
Tarla’s flashing button might cause you to panic, but remember—you don’t want to spill your delicious Borovan all over yourself in the chaos! Take a moment to relax and focus before clicking. It’s a race, but it's also important to stay calm.
4. Be a Good Neopian
Tarla may be generous, but don’t let her kindness turn you into a greedy mess. Remember, she’s a moody Ixi, and if you appear overly greedy, you might just find yourself on her bad side. Approach her treasures with a good heart, and you’ll be rewarded.
5. Keep Your Posture in Check
Sure, you’re likely sitting at your computer, glued to the screen, waiting for that magical button to appear. But what good is a treasure if you’re hunched over in pain? Keep your back straight and comfortable. That way, you’ll be quick and nimble when it’s time to click!
6. Stay Focused and Avoid Distractions
Neopia is full of exciting things to do—games, chats, and adventures. But when you’re waiting for that flashing yellow button, distractions can cost you. Take regular breaks from your other activities, like role-playing or solving puzzles, to check for the elusive button.
7. Know Your Prizes: Primary vs. Secondary
One of the key points to keep in mind is that you can only collect one prize from Tarla per day. So what’s the deal with those prizes? If you click immediately when the button starts flashing, you’ll earn a Primary Prize—these are typically better! However, if you miss the flash, you’ll be awarded a Secondary Prize (often called Consolation Prizes). While secondary prizes are still neat, let’s face it: we all want the primary!
8. The Neopian Economy: How Tarla Shakes Things Up
As we’ve seen, the items Tarla gives away often come from the big-ticket items in Neopia, such as starry paint brushes and other rare treasures. While sellers are groaning about plummeting prices, it’s great news for those of us who are more interested in scoring rare items for ourselves.
So, what should you do? If you’re planning to sell your Tarla-given items, make sure you store them in your Safety Deposit Box for a while before trying to offload them. The market can crash when a ton of the same item floods the economy, but with patience, you can still score big profits!
9. A Chat With the Master of Stocks: Nigel the Commodity Broker Chia
To add a little more insight into how Tarla’s treasure giving is impacting Neopia, we managed to snag an exclusive interview with none other than Nigel the Commodity Broker Chia—Neopia’s very own stock market guru.
FWA: Nigel, tell us what’s been happening in the Neopian stock market since Tarla started her giveaways?
Nigel: Well, stock in pet-painting companies has definitely dropped. With the low prices of paint brushes, people are pulling out and looking for new investments—like food. We’re seeing big shifts in stocks like MYNC, KAUF, and HELT.
FWA: So should we be worried about investments?
Nigel: If you’re a fan of paint brushes, now’s the time to invest. When prices hit rock-bottom, the only way to go is up! Be patient, hold on to those stocks, and ride out the storm.
