My first was accepted, my second was not =( But I'll try again and write one for this great game called Neopets =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ History of Updates on FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 09/30/03 Added Contributions 09/22/03 Submitted Map FAQ 09/21/03 Started making it a Map FAQ 09/20/03 Resubmitted FAQ 06/20/03 Started FAQ ============================================================================== 2) Secret Laboratory Map ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is the Secret Laboratory? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Secret Laboratory is an even you can visit once a day, just like Tombola or the Fruit Machine. You must first gather all the Lab Maps however. After that, you can use it every single day! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What can it do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Lab Ray can do many things. All of it will alter one pet (which you can choose). There are listed below in alphabetical order: Different Colour Different Colour and Species Different Gender Different Species Less Defence Less Hit Points Less Level Less Movement Less Strength More Defence More HP More Level More Movement More Strength ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What are the chances of the effects? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These stats are taken from IDB. It's based on how likely something will happen to your pet: More Hit Points........................ 13.4% Colour Change,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 13.0% More Strength.......................... 11.6% Less Level,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 10.3% More Movement.......................... 9.7% Different Species & Colour Change,,,,,, 9.3% More Defence........................... 6.4% Different Gender,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 6.3% More Level............................. 5.5% Less Movement,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 4.1% Less Strength.......................... 4.1% Different Species,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 3.0% Less Defence........................... 2.3% Less Hit Points,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 1.0% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How do you get it and for how much? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can get the lab ray by buying all the pieces to it. People sell them on the trading post in full sets for about 230,000 - 260,000 NP. You can usually buy them individually on the Shop Wizard for less. Each piece goes by the same name "Piece of a Laboratory Map" and you have to look at the picture to determine if it's a double or not. The pieces range from a price of 22,000 to 32,000 NP. After buying the pieces, go to the Treasure Map game: http://www.neopets.com/games/treasure.phtml?type=lab after you do that, you can have your first zap! Remember the consequences though! Everyday after that, you can do what you just did to get to the lab ray, or you can just go directly to this link: http://www.neopets.com/lab2.phtml If you would like to train your pet as fast as you can and don't care about it's appearance that much, the lab ray is highly recommended! ============================================================================== 3) Other Treasure Maps ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What are the other treasure maps? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The non-laboratory treasure maps are different since they're one time use. They also do not give you access to something, they give you a prize instead. The other treasure maps are Original, Space, Spooky, and Underwater. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What can they do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As said in the previous paragraph, they can get you prizes. Each map has a different kind of prize. All of them also give you NP, including the Lab Map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What are the possible prizes? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the examples, G = GameFAQs Username, and N = Neopets Username ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ a) Original ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The original map gives you 5 items and 9,000 - 12,000 NP. There is always one item with a rarity of 97 and usually 2 or 3 trading cards. Some very good rarity 97 items include the Dark Battle Duck and Krawk Swashbuckler. Here are some submissions from those who have done them: Ewoo (G) 9,500 Leirobas Guardian of Life Magic Chocolate Parsnip Kyrii Cork Gun The Stuff Ewoo (G) 13,000 NP Kyruggi Blarthrox Kyrii Tank Top Neo Hits Volume One Strawberry Achyfi Ewoo (G) 11000 NP Maelstra The Dark Faerie 00 Hog Korbat Wing Guards Spooky Lime Pudding Rainbow Toilet rpg over (G) 10658 NP Maelstra The Dark Faerie Maelstra The Dark Faerie Baby Blumaroo Plushie Moehog Battle Cape Wocky Will bar_coded (N) 9257 NP Yes Boy Ice Cream Gragarex the Grarrl Trooper Treasure Seekers Yellow Shoyru Plushie Babyca patagonian (N) 10958 NP Magnus the Torch The Fontaine Sisters Golden Lupe Tooth Blade Orange Gummy Kiko Luperus Left Head Stamp shirtlessdonkey (N) 10255 NP Princess Fernypoo Shadow Usul Jetsam Warrior Green Draik Egg Strawberry Blumaroo Cone kingkupo (N) 9016 NP Princess Fernypoo, Captain Threelegs, Green Sandcastle Set, Healing Potion XV, Blumaroo Battle Gloves clockworkteam (N) 8499 NP Rainbow Fountain Card Grimilix Rainbow Fountain Card Babaa Care Grapple pandora268 (N) 12089 NP.

It also gives you anywhere from 3,000 - 12,000 NP. The space map is now retired. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ c) Spooky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The spooky map gives you 9 spooky foods and 9,000 - 15,000 NP. It's still a relatively cheap treasure map. There are many unbuyable spooky foods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ d) Underwater ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The underwater map gives you 9 aquatic foods and 8,000 - 12,000 NP. Since Maraqua was destroyed, you'd think these maps would be retired, but they aren't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How do you get them and for how much? Are they worth it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each of the treasure maps can be bought like the Lab Ray, seperately on the Shop Wizard or as a pack at the Trading Post. They can also be found randomly on the site, but don't count on it. Each of the maps however, are different prices. Here are the prices you'll be paying for the full maps: -Nickname- -Name of Individual Pieces- -Altogether Price- -Worth it?- Original Piece of a Treasure Map 100,000 - 120,000 NP Sometimes Space Space Map 210,000 - 230,000 NP No Spooky Spooky Treasure Map 45,000 - 60,000 NP Sometimes Underwater Underwater Map Piece 280,000 - 300,000 NP No Additional Notes: Original and Spooky sometimes give you a good item, but sometimes they don't. All maps are done at a gamble. The Space Map and Underwater Maps are now way to expensive for you to pull a profit. Also, the Space Map is now a retired item so it's price will continually rise, if you want, you could buy one or two of them to keep in your SDB for a while. They used to be 3,000 - 9,000 a piece. ============================================================================== 4) Acknowledgements ============================================================================== This FAQ would not be possible without these sources!
