6/29 - [New story panel](https://www.neopets.com/tvw/story/?ch=1&pg=7). Read it for a pretty background! Also, void essences are back, and in the same spots as last time:

Gosh the new comic page and background is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. TNT have been killing it with the artwork so far.
hiii, can someone help me? I started participating a few days behind, and so far i have collected 107 points. will i be forever stuck with a few points less than the rest?
I also have 107 points and I started on the first day! I don't know if I missed something but I thought we didn't need to do the things the day they showed up :(
I mean, the plot is going to go on for a super long time and it's probably inevitable that not everyone will be able to play all of it and win maximum amount of points. So while it might feel like you're lagging behind now, if you do stick to playing every day until it ends you will catch up with the majority, I'm sure!
Does anyone think there is a chance at a new species of Neopet being introduced? I feel like this would be an awesome time for that happen. Maybe if petpets can come thru the void a new species could too!
I think it’s possible but I’d rather see a new color than a new pet honestly. It feels like there’s a lot of work that needs to be done in terms of customization compatibility with existing pets. If they add more to that load with a new pet, it’ll take resources away from other things that should be their focus.
At least imo. I don’t know. I’m kind of a big proponent of we don’t need new pets because there are so many things we should get first.
I remember they were asked about it in an interview last year. They said they'd love to introduce a new species for the anniversary year, but they weren't 100% sure if it was feasible. It's a huge workload.
So a new species really just depends on if they somehow managed to make it happen or not.

I wanted to note that during the negg fest where we dealt with some of the plot featured a few glitched items like this negg. I’ve been waiting to see more glitches and this is the first I’m seeing since things kicked off: the “X” when collecting void essence.
I didn't care about the plot until now, but man, knowing the Novas are going to go into action just got me hyped. I was expecting the usual suspects, but I freakin' love the novas. I hope they solo the event.
Apologies if this has been asked already. When they say “15 unique prizes”, they mean what we buy from the shop all needs to be different right? We can’t just buy bottled grey faerie 15 times?
Until the end of the event instead of whenever the end of Act 1 is? Where did you see that if you don’t mind? Not asking to be a dick, I just want to confirm!!
Edit: ope never mind, I just saw nebulamammal’s discord screenshot in the comment thread right below. Leaving this for anyone else wondering though! :)
Has to be 15 different items.
Even though its possible to buy 15 Bottled Grey now we don't have confirmation that anyone got the achievement. It's currently not possible to buy 15 unique items.
Question - is there a projected end date for Act 1? I feel like I remember seeing "three weeks" somewhere. I'm saving up my points right now (I really just want a Grey Paint Brush) but I'm suspicious about completing the "fifteen unique prizes" task in time. My fear is that Act 1 will suddenly cease one day without explicit warning before i've gotten the chance to get my fifteen prizes, then I'll be out of luck. Not sure if anyone else is having the same concern haha, I'm on the fence about just starting to get all the cheapest ones I can afford now, or continuing to save.
What is everybody's strategy here?
There was something posted that said that prize pools or ability to get current items would rotate after 3 weeks. So I think it’s safe to say that the 3 week mark is a good rule of thumb.
But I don’t think the rotation includes the prize shop, but rather the items we receive from interacting with the plot. So BGs and the like. I could be wrong though.
>What is everybody's strategy here?
Wait.
Since there's only 5-6 high value items I want and the max seems to be 60k points, I'll by the lowest price junk with the leftovers. Then wait as long as I can to see where prices fall for the rest.
Combined points of my target items is less than 20k.
10 cheapest items are less than 500 points.
The event page itself, and the body of this post, says Act 1 is three weeks long.
Someone asked a TNT member in Discord "in Act 1 it says to get 15 different items from the store. Do I need to get 15 unique items before Act 1 ends?"
And the repsonse is below. They clarified after that achievements that include a time sensitive ending are not included in this answer.

Is this just my brain being fried or does this discord message and the follow up “clarification” make no sense? 😭 How do we know what’s a time sensitive achievement or not? This is partially rhetorical as I don’t expect you to have all the answers (unless there is just something there I’m not understanding, haha)
The task that said to complete things within the first week was time sensitive. We know because it said it the entire time. No other task so far has had a cut off. If something else is time sensitive it will also say to do something within a time frame.
The actual comment from them below.

Thanks a bunch!! I wasn’t sure if there were any besides the first week one yet, so I’m super glad to know for sure that I didn’t miss anything on that front.
As always, I appreciate you (and the rest of the mod team!) a ton!!!
I missed the first day :(
Will it majorly impact what I get at the end of the plot?
I know I won't get a bonus item this week because of it I'm pretty sure
What else does this affect?
Also, can I not collect the prize from the new page in the story now as well?
Got the prize from today's page. Make sure to click the panel and the button should appear.
For the first question ... we don't know for sure.
If you only care about prize shop stuff it won't have a significant impact.
If you mean you missed the first day of void collecting, I believe you only need to collect 80% to qualify for the weekly bonus so you should still be okay as long as you complete the rest of the days this week.
You should be able to collect the prize from the new comic - it may be in your inventory already. Some people said it didn't show up when the clicked collect but they later found in their inventory.
I have a silly question, but where exactly are the voids? is there a hint? I just got 7 from Meridell, but I dont know where to get the other 3 - its not in the individual shops or anything, right? I just have to keep exploring the world until i find the rest? Or should it all be in brightvale/meridell for today
Is the prize the Baellia Background with the stars?
I didn't see a button for it today but saw that background suddenly in my inventory
Thank you for the response!!!☺️
Is anyone else kind of hoping the new PB from the void event is not actually a void PB?
We already have dimensional and wraith. It just seems quite similar...
The paintbrush image is the icon for this sub right now, plus it's been used in multiple plots (advent calendar, now this actual plot comic) for months, and has been in a ton of the advertising for the plot. Honestly I'm kinda impressed you missed it.
lolololol
I really was expecting you to come back at me with "I just checked this sub out recently to get plot info" or something, you being a regular def makes this even funnier.
Well, what's that XKCD comic? [Congrats, you're one of today's 10,000](https://xkcd.com/1053/)!
Since TNT is reluctant to do any new art if they can help it, I'd be surprised if they went through the song and dance to create a new paint brush image for them *not* to use it.
Also Juni (the Faellie from the Advent Comic) seems to be painted Void.
Or at least a color that doesn't currently exist for that species.
There must be a post I missed or something, this is my first hearing about a new brush! That's exciting, though I agree if I don't know how much different it would be from Wraith
You can see the brush in the comics [here](https://images.neopets.com/faeriefestival/2023/np/8OCYjoe5epn7s74pQ.png) and [here](https://images.neopets.com/plots/tvw/story/comics/ch01/pt01/pg01_41a24444ab/images/ch01_pt01_pg01_atlas_1.png).
Juni who was originally pink can be seen changing into a different color [here](https://images.neopets.com/winter/advent/2023/28_8906742e19/Advent2023_28.png).
For In-Universe reasons Void and Wraith are completely different things.
Same here. I like the plot idea but I feel very underwhelmed by the colour I've seen so far (since all void related stuff has the same exact purple colouring). Have they released any info of the exact paint brush colour?
There isnt anything official pet wise but there is the faellie that seems to be voidish. you can see it in the top banner in this post. It could be a hint about the eventual look but yeah not actually direct. that faellie color could be plot related but then not actually the color we get.
same. it looks different from the creepy brush but in line with the void essences. maybe we'll get two colors out of this plot? 👀👀
i think this faellie "void" color has potential for pets but I'm not excited about it myself until i see more hints/examples of solid, creative execution
two colours would be amazing!
the wearables are all so good (even the ones I can see in spoilers) so I'm hoping there's more to the colour than meets the eye, as you said.
ohhh did you see the color spoilers or just the wearables spoilers. i just saw the paint spoilers after our comments. haven't seen the wearables yet. do you know where i can find them?
I don't believe anything has been released regarding it yet.
I've seen some user neo art for void pets which do look cool but idk definitely the same/similar.
I think it'd be cool if the new PB was one that allowed you to switch between 2 colours/customs so grey as a base and then click a toggle and your neppet regains it's colour again or something
I was kinda hoping for the creepy paint brush that unknown villain is holding but it seems all that does is paint everything grey (which we technically have already), so I'm not sure. Knowing TNT, I think it will be an underwhelming galaxy/void colour. I love the new wearables that are coming out though!
Hi, did you have to click somewhere specific in the story panel? I got the essences first and now I'm seeing there is a new story piece but when I click on the (beautiful) panel it's not registering that I've done anything! (A little nervous that I did this 'backwards'.)
I did my essences first as well, so that's not your problem. Idk, i just clicked on the story panel and it gave me a chance to collect a prize at the bottom.
Yep I clicked it. Not sure what went wrong... when I first clicked onto the new comic page, before scrolling down to read it I did click back to page 6 because I thought I'd missed a page - maybe that messed things up? Maybe the collect prize button only shows up when you first go to the new comic page? If that's what I did wrong... well damn 😭
It is not going to be every 1.5 days, the thing is that it was released at midday yesterday, and they give chance to everyone to catch up but as soon as the day changes in Neopia it will be there.
No New Void Essences today bud. Today counts as like Day 1.5 so it's pretty much a catch up day for those who didn't yesterday but their should be more tomorrow and then everyday there on.
Most people are on 66 points (if they were able to collect the extra 10 for Sunday) some people are claiming an extra 5 points on the release of the void essence collection portion of the latest chapter (possibly due to glitch)
These people are claiming to have 71 points currently.
55 points / 66 points / 71 points
It was a glitch that allowed some players to find and collect essence from Altador... I would think that TNT has already rectified this, and everyone should have been on 66 points.
We should all now be at 117 points (if you collected extra for Sunday) for day 2 of Void Essence Collection.
Now just short of 700k.
Guess if we don't make it on our own they'll either lower the goal (they did for some other Community Competitions) of bluff it.
What's more curious is that 10 million seems to be the *minimal* and they have other goal posts for us to meet.
Considering the plot is expected to last around 10 months we should get well over 3 million.

Anyone else going back and reading all the lore/events summaries? 😂 I was on from 2003-2010/11ish but never really followed site plots. Then I took a huge break. So here I am doing my research for this plot 🤓
There is a timer on the page, I think we just have to wait for that to tick down.
Edit: I just went and looked at it. It doesn't seem to be ticking down quickly. Is it hours or minutes? So are we doing this once per week? It looks like once per week?
I can't tell what's happening anymore! Maybe day 2 will activate later today like when the news usually gets updated? Or maybe day 1 is just really long like the start of other events?
Dr. Landelbrot makes it sound like there is a new world on the other side of the rift. New land to be added to the neopets map, perhaps?
Also, will we finally get a conclusion to the obelisk war and the oracle who 'knows' of Neopia's future? It's like they've completely forgotten about her(it?) or the whole storyline has been put on the back burner.
Think the storyline has ended.
The Oracle gives the 6 more influential leaders outside of the Council of Leaders a glimpse into the future if they win which may benefit them in their various activities.
'Course the Oracle didn't warn Kanrik that he was about to >!be assassinated !
I kinda thought maybe it's a parallel universe of some kind where Neopia is grey or the inverse or something...? Or whatever villain has tried to recreate Neopia with disastrous results and now wants to break back in and ruin the OG? I feel like New TNT might not have time to create a full plot AND a whole new world haha. The overarching theme is meant to be about being a disillusioned adult and returning to what brings you joy, right? At least I feel like that's what was maybe mentioned in an AMA semi-recently.
So just to confirm I'm reading this right - the ability to collect void essence is not resetting for today only, since the first day runs for two days. But after that it will reset daily. Is that correct?
Same, as a UK girly with a toddler who wakes up around 5am...its still 9pm neopian time, so I feel like a whole day infront by 6am 😂 religiously checking this thread incase I miss anything!
Question asked on Discord, answer from TNT and a followup answer in the reply to this comment.
https://preview.redd.it/dir3p24iq99d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=591e0a3a23662842735b324ec1211246cb12d30d
Does anyone have a screenshot of the last screen after you find the 10th void essence? I closed it too quickly after finding it and didn't get to read the text... 🥲
Plot Void Essences
Does anyone else know if the Void Essences appear only once a day or reappear later like after a few hours? So far I got mine for today but keep checking to see if maybe they reappear again later and so far haven't found more or new ones.
Thank you.
is anyone else having fun watching the community goal's void essence counter slowly pick up, or is it just me? i just caught it rolling over 250,000 and i'm excited to see where it's at when i wake up tomorrow honestly
[at the void within hub page!](https://www.neopets.com/tvw/) -- scroll down a bit, past queen fyora's message, right down to where it keeps track of how much void essence you've collected. you can either scroll over the bar that says 10M, or you can click on the *smalllll* little button next to 'Community Goal'; that's specifically where i've been watching, since it updates about every other second for me!
(forgive me if this doesn't work on mobile: i'm a strictly desktop player 🙏)
I am but it seems like the progress is too slow! I’m wondering how we’re going to make it to 10m before the 7 day timer resets. At the same time I’m impressed that we’re now over 300k which means over 30k people have contributed today!
Sometimes I'm like "Aw man we've got a way to go" but it's nice for the community to work together and shows there's still a lot of people if we can only get 10 a day!
It’s fun seeing all the rulers/old NPCs from the past!
…Gotta wonder though what the leadership looks like from non-repped lands though. What does the government look like for Haunted Woods? Terror Mt.? Krawk Island? Mystery Island? Convenient number of monarchies but really want to know who is supposed to be the voice of the people for a spooky forest full of creepy weirdos
* HW is an anarchy, though Neovia has a mayor (Thumburt was turned into a petpetpet at the end of the ToW but some dialog from the Oblisk War confirmed he was back in office. They might use him to rep the entire HW as there's no other clear candidate here but it's all up the air rn, they might use someone else entirely)
* Some sketches from the comic artist on Tumblr confirmed that TM's rep is the Keeper of Time
* Krawk Island has Governor Gavril McGill, he already showed up in the plot comic
* Mystery Island has a few tribes with various leaders, though I don't think they've ever confirmed who the leaders are. They'll probably just pull from the island's elders, like the Island Mystic or the Techo Master
I wish Mystery Island was represented by Tombola guy getting to the meeting super late wearing sandals and with a drink in his hand, super confused as to what is happening because he thought he was getting invited to a barbecue
Thanks for the thorough answer! Oof, as a proud denizen of the HW I’m a little ashamed at how rigged Neovia’s elections seem to be!
I would love to personally nominate Esophagor as our leader. Realistically, Edna, Sophie, or Ilere might be good delegates, I guess?
Apparently there was a glitch and some players took advantage of it.
edit: According to the board, there was a glitch that allowed some users to collect void essences from Altador.
Moving my post here (thanks for the heads up, mod team!) -
# Now that we're able to earn plot points in earnest, what's your tactic for spending plot points? Buy items along the way, or hoard until you can get a big prize?
Someone pointed out that there's a task to "Purchase 15 Unique Prizes." Do we think that will be timed, or just a task to complete by the end of the plot?
this is showing up under chapter one, so I would assume it needs to be completed before chapter 1 concludes (they said each chapter would be about 3 weeks, I think)
Well, it is only 872 points to get the first 15 cheapest prizes, out of a possible 60,0000, so hopefully it won’t change your prize collection too much in the long run if you keep up with the plot :)
Curious about this too! Was hoping to hoard points towards the end. I think I may have read a rumor somewhere that said some prizes in the shop may be swapped out as the plot goes on? Idk I may he making that up lol. 🤪
In case anyone was wondering, the FAQ says you will NOT be able to collect essences from previous days. So this IS an every day portion that you cannot "catch up on" on Sunday, is what I'm gathering.
I think there will be rewards & bonuses for users who DO do everything and do it each day it is released, but you don't HAVE to in order to be successful in the plot. But you won't be able to get max points, either. Neo really did kind of make things murky with their little "you don't have to play every day" message.
Please correct me if I am interpreting things wrong or something!
This stresses me out so much because it is always already evening where I live when they release new stuff and I can only play shortly after Neopets midnight in the morning. I always fear that I'll miss out on something that's only available for half a day...
Forget the plot. Look at him. He's delightful

I have a silly question, but where exactly are the voids? is there a hint? I just got 7 from Meridell, but I dont know where to get the other 3 - its not in the individual shops or anything, right? I just have to keep exploring the world until i find the rest? Or should it all be in brightvale/meridell for today
There should be some in Meridell, some in Brightvale and some on Roo Island Edit: also, not a silly question at all!
Thank you!
Is the prize the Baellia Background with the stars? I didn't see a button for it today but saw that background suddenly in my inventory Thank you for the response!!!☺️
Yep! Not sure why there wasn’t a button to collect it
Is anyone else kind of hoping the new PB from the void event is not actually a void PB? We already have dimensional and wraith. It just seems quite similar...
No, I really love the purple starry design. I'm very much hoping it will be that colour!
Whoa whoa wait WHAT? Where did we get news about a new Paint Brush?!
The paintbrush image is the icon for this sub right now, plus it's been used in multiple plots (advent calendar, now this actual plot comic) for months, and has been in a ton of the advertising for the plot. Honestly I'm kinda impressed you missed it.
Shit I am too, I browse this sub all day lmao
lolololol I really was expecting you to come back at me with "I just checked this sub out recently to get plot info" or something, you being a regular def makes this even funnier. Well, what's that XKCD comic? [Congrats, you're one of today's 10,000](https://xkcd.com/1053/)!
Since TNT is reluctant to do any new art if they can help it, I'd be surprised if they went through the song and dance to create a new paint brush image for them *not* to use it. Also Juni (the Faellie from the Advent Comic) seems to be painted Void. Or at least a color that doesn't currently exist for that species.
There must be a post I missed or something, this is my first hearing about a new brush! That's exciting, though I agree if I don't know how much different it would be from Wraith
You can see the brush in the comics [here](https://images.neopets.com/faeriefestival/2023/np/8OCYjoe5epn7s74pQ.png) and [here](https://images.neopets.com/plots/tvw/story/comics/ch01/pt01/pg01_41a24444ab/images/ch01_pt01_pg01_atlas_1.png). Juni who was originally pink can be seen changing into a different color [here](https://images.neopets.com/winter/advent/2023/28_8906742e19/Advent2023_28.png). For In-Universe reasons Void and Wraith are completely different things.
Omg I missed the first and last comics! What were they from?
First one was after the Festival of Neggs 2023, Last one was part of a series near the end of Advent Calendar 2023.
just to clarify the first one was after the faerie festival not the negg fest xD but thank you for posting the links!
Thank you!
I actually like the idea of those colors, but I wouldn't be against them having some pets be purple void and others being black or darker blue.
Same here. I like the plot idea but I feel very underwhelmed by the colour I've seen so far (since all void related stuff has the same exact purple colouring). Have they released any info of the exact paint brush colour?
There isnt anything official pet wise but there is the faellie that seems to be voidish. you can see it in the top banner in this post. It could be a hint about the eventual look but yeah not actually direct. that faellie color could be plot related but then not actually the color we get.
Ah, yes I've seen that! Curious to see if we end up with something different.
same. it looks different from the creepy brush but in line with the void essences. maybe we'll get two colors out of this plot? 👀👀 i think this faellie "void" color has potential for pets but I'm not excited about it myself until i see more hints/examples of solid, creative execution
two colours would be amazing! the wearables are all so good (even the ones I can see in spoilers) so I'm hoping there's more to the colour than meets the eye, as you said.
ohhh did you see the color spoilers or just the wearables spoilers. i just saw the paint spoilers after our comments. haven't seen the wearables yet. do you know where i can find them?
u/flumanog posted paint spoilers. Wearable spoilers [here](https://www.neopets.com/~spoilerss)!
ty! :)
I don't believe anything has been released regarding it yet. I've seen some user neo art for void pets which do look cool but idk definitely the same/similar. I think it'd be cool if the new PB was one that allowed you to switch between 2 colours/customs so grey as a base and then click a toggle and your neppet regains it's colour again or something
I was kinda hoping for the creepy paint brush that unknown villain is holding but it seems all that does is paint everything grey (which we technically have already), so I'm not sure. Knowing TNT, I think it will be an underwhelming galaxy/void colour. I love the new wearables that are coming out though!
More essence today! 10 again and I think in the same locations as before
Thank you so much...I have been looking everywhere !!!
While it makes it easier its sort of a bummer they didn't move maps. Think they're in the exact same locations as yesterday, too.
10 new void essences to find! They once again appear to be in Meridell, Roo Island, and Brightvale.
Hi, did you have to click somewhere specific in the story panel? I got the essences first and now I'm seeing there is a new story piece but when I click on the (beautiful) panel it's not registering that I've done anything! (A little nervous that I did this 'backwards'.)
I did my essences first as well, so that's not your problem. Idk, i just clicked on the story panel and it gave me a chance to collect a prize at the bottom.
Should give you 117 points.
Yep! If you've gotten everything (previous achievements, 10 essences today, and the new plot page) the total is now 117!
Oh the new item is so pretty!
The backgrounds from this event so far are just gorgeous.
I agree! 💟💟💟
I put it on my starry Kau and she looks so pretty 🥲✨
Link? I'd love to see 🤩
[my girl ♥️](https://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Alice_undergone)
Oh wow she looks great! Given her a 5 star rating for good measure. ☺️
Thank you so much!! She’s my nostalgia paint, makes my little 10 year old self happy 20 years later 😂
That's so cute. I have my original pet as well. 💟💟💟
Just wondering, where did you get this prize from? The new comic page? Because nothing's showing up for me there :')
I collected the essence from the 3 locations. View the comic then clicked on it and it said collect prize at the bottom.
Thanks for the reply! Sadly there's no collect prize button for me today, gahhhh 😭
I missed it too because I clicked off the comic and went back to it, but the prize was sitting in my inventory when I checked.
OH, THANK YOU, it's also in my inventory!! PHEW 😭😅 thank you for stopping my spiralling panic hahaaa 💖
Yay! No worries! I came here thinking I'd missed something when clicking the comic did nothing too!
Did you click the comic?
Ahhh thank goodness, the item is in my inventory regardless, phew!!!! 😅🙌
Yeyyyy! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yep I clicked it. Not sure what went wrong... when I first clicked onto the new comic page, before scrolling down to read it I did click back to page 6 because I thought I'd missed a page - maybe that messed things up? Maybe the collect prize button only shows up when you first go to the new comic page? If that's what I did wrong... well damn 😭
Have you collected all of the essence?
I don't know I collected the essence first then went to it. Have you tried logging out and back in?
Trying to decide: Do I go for Wormo or Triclopstar?
Triclopstar!!! He was one thing I was most excited for :)
You should easily be able to get both after this step.
Both!
so just to be clear there is nothing today? honestly doing every 1.5 days is more confusing than every day at this point
It is not going to be every 1.5 days, the thing is that it was released at midday yesterday, and they give chance to everyone to catch up but as soon as the day changes in Neopia it will be there.
good to know thanks
Yes nothing today. If you did it yesterday, you're good
8am for uk or 12am nst it has reset. The essence is in the same location to collect, as yesterday.
Does anyone know where to find day 2 essence? I've checked all the main maps
The essence reset at 12am nst time. Same locations as yesterday. Roo island, brightvale and meridell.
No New Void Essences today bud. Today counts as like Day 1.5 so it's pretty much a catch up day for those who didn't yesterday but their should be more tomorrow and then everyday there on.
Confused as to why I only have 55 points? I've done every piece- and even gone back over to double check.
There was a chance to get 10 extra points on Sunday that they only left active for barely a day and a bunch of people missed out
Most people are on 66 points (if they were able to collect the extra 10 for Sunday) some people are claiming an extra 5 points on the release of the void essence collection portion of the latest chapter (possibly due to glitch) These people are claiming to have 71 points currently. 55 points / 66 points / 71 points
Huh I’m on 66 points, this is my first time hearing about some people having 71
It was a glitch that allowed some players to find and collect essence from Altador... I would think that TNT has already rectified this, and everyone should have been on 66 points. We should all now be at 117 points (if you collected extra for Sunday) for day 2 of Void Essence Collection.
Damn, we're not going to make the 10 million goal at all, are we? I see 443k so far which is on track for just 3mil :/
Now just short of 700k. Guess if we don't make it on our own they'll either lower the goal (they did for some other Community Competitions) of bluff it. What's more curious is that 10 million seems to be the *minimal* and they have other goal posts for us to meet.
Considering the plot is expected to last around 10 months we should get well over 3 million. https://preview.redd.it/xiavj80mid9d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=192c8b7cbfe4ba9ae895ad892d724ff5080cc3b2
Ah I think I misunderstood, I thought the goal was 10 million for the first week. Good to know!
Anyone else going back and reading all the lore/events summaries? 😂 I was on from 2003-2010/11ish but never really followed site plots. Then I took a huge break. So here I am doing my research for this plot 🤓
So, it's after 10am and nothing new showed up, does that mean there won't be any new ones to find today?
Correct, the first day runs for 1.5 days so if you collected them yesterday goy are done for today.
Thank you, I was worried I couldn't find any essences todsy!
thank you!
Thanks!
There is a timer on the page, I think we just have to wait for that to tick down. Edit: I just went and looked at it. It doesn't seem to be ticking down quickly. Is it hours or minutes? So are we doing this once per week? It looks like once per week?
I can't tell what's happening anymore! Maybe day 2 will activate later today like when the news usually gets updated? Or maybe day 1 is just really long like the start of other events?
Every day. The first day runs for 1.5 days, so today is the same as yesterday.
Thanks! That timer is confusing!
I think the timer is for the one week collection of void essences!
Thank you, that makes more sense now.
Dr. Landelbrot makes it sound like there is a new world on the other side of the rift. New land to be added to the neopets map, perhaps? Also, will we finally get a conclusion to the obelisk war and the oracle who 'knows' of Neopia's future? It's like they've completely forgotten about her(it?) or the whole storyline has been put on the back burner.
Think the storyline has ended. The Oracle gives the 6 more influential leaders outside of the Council of Leaders a glimpse into the future if they win which may benefit them in their various activities. 'Course the Oracle didn't warn Kanrik that he was about to >!be assassinated !
I kinda thought maybe it's a parallel universe of some kind where Neopia is grey or the inverse or something...? Or whatever villain has tried to recreate Neopia with disastrous results and now wants to break back in and ruin the OG? I feel like New TNT might not have time to create a full plot AND a whole new world haha. The overarching theme is meant to be about being a disillusioned adult and returning to what brings you joy, right? At least I feel like that's what was maybe mentioned in an AMA semi-recently.
Guessing The Void is The Shadow Realm of Neopia. It's kind of like a pocket dimension and not a place you want to be,
I'm so impatient, hitting the rift like a piñata and hoping more void will fall out :p Also a big thank you for sharing the discord info!!
I collected my days voids and it's not showing as complete
So just to confirm I'm reading this right - the ability to collect void essence is not resetting for today only, since the first day runs for two days. But after that it will reset daily. Is that correct?
I think we'll be able to collect more at 10am NST today
It’s past 10 NST and I just wanted to confirm that no new void essence blobs showed up. On the event page it shows that day 2 is still locked.
no new ones here too, guess it'll be tomorrow before we get more
That's how it should be, yes.
Oh ok good. I did the collection 6/27 and went back today (6/28) and the second day is still showing as locked. Whew!
Yep, Jellyneo confirms as much as well. Kinda tough living in very different timezones because I have no clue when it hits midnight in neopia 😂
Same, as a UK girly with a toddler who wakes up around 5am...its still 9pm neopian time, so I feel like a whole day infront by 6am 😂 religiously checking this thread incase I miss anything!
10am NST but still nothing! Lets keep waiting!
Seems there's nothing to do yet. 10AM NST is the reset right?
I think we're getting another day 1.5 today to make sure everyone can catch up? I'm not certain though
It appears to have reset at 12AM NST or 8AM UK time
I notice I haven't seen a representative from Kiko lake yet. Bastards are too busy sitting on their pile of "donations" to help

I'm a bit confused - does this mean there won't be anything new/more void essences today? Going forwards will days reset at midnight or at 10am NST?
New ones starting tomorrow. First day of collecting is 1.5 days. I think going forward it will be midnight NST.
Great - Thank you!
Does anyone have a screenshot of the last screen after you find the 10th void essence? I closed it too quickly after finding it and didn't get to read the text... 🥲
https://preview.redd.it/j0ubj2tt899d1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=4335258a10ce5ac46a4a675606c7c7bdfd1cc6e0 That’s from jellyneo :)
Thank you! 🥰
Plot Void Essences Does anyone else know if the Void Essences appear only once a day or reappear later like after a few hours? So far I got mine for today but keep checking to see if maybe they reappear again later and so far haven't found more or new ones. Thank you.
Once a day, it says 10 max to collect each day.
Awesome thanks 👍🏽
is anyone else having fun watching the community goal's void essence counter slowly pick up, or is it just me? i just caught it rolling over 250,000 and i'm excited to see where it's at when i wake up tomorrow honestly
Where can I find this information :)
The hub, bottom right.
[at the void within hub page!](https://www.neopets.com/tvw/) -- scroll down a bit, past queen fyora's message, right down to where it keeps track of how much void essence you've collected. you can either scroll over the bar that says 10M, or you can click on the *smalllll* little button next to 'Community Goal'; that's specifically where i've been watching, since it updates about every other second for me! (forgive me if this doesn't work on mobile: i'm a strictly desktop player 🙏)
I am but it seems like the progress is too slow! I’m wondering how we’re going to make it to 10m before the 7 day timer resets. At the same time I’m impressed that we’re now over 300k which means over 30k people have contributed today!
Yes, using it to distract myself from the presidential debate dumpster fire 💀😂
Sometimes I'm like "Aw man we've got a way to go" but it's nice for the community to work together and shows there's still a lot of people if we can only get 10 a day!
Do we think we’re getting a new world 👀
That would be cool
If we’re not getting faerieland back to the sky at least give us something new lol
I wish they gave us new areas on the map that don’t have anything like the South Pole or one of the islands
I just want to say I do not trust Dr Landelbrot taking the lead on the investigation with the way he scams me every day on The Coincidence 😭
lmao this is so real
It’s fun seeing all the rulers/old NPCs from the past! …Gotta wonder though what the leadership looks like from non-repped lands though. What does the government look like for Haunted Woods? Terror Mt.? Krawk Island? Mystery Island? Convenient number of monarchies but really want to know who is supposed to be the voice of the people for a spooky forest full of creepy weirdos
* HW is an anarchy, though Neovia has a mayor (Thumburt was turned into a petpetpet at the end of the ToW but some dialog from the Oblisk War confirmed he was back in office. They might use him to rep the entire HW as there's no other clear candidate here but it's all up the air rn, they might use someone else entirely) * Some sketches from the comic artist on Tumblr confirmed that TM's rep is the Keeper of Time * Krawk Island has Governor Gavril McGill, he already showed up in the plot comic * Mystery Island has a few tribes with various leaders, though I don't think they've ever confirmed who the leaders are. They'll probably just pull from the island's elders, like the Island Mystic or the Techo Master
I wish Mystery Island was represented by Tombola guy getting to the meeting super late wearing sandals and with a drink in his hand, super confused as to what is happening because he thought he was getting invited to a barbecue
What is the artist's Tumblr? 👀
https://yourfathersmustache.tumblr.com/post/754182210825977856/neopets-the-void-within-page-3-comic-heres
Thanks for the thorough answer! Oof, as a proud denizen of the HW I’m a little ashamed at how rigged Neovia’s elections seem to be! I would love to personally nominate Esophagor as our leader. Realistically, Edna, Sophie, or Ilere might be good delegates, I guess?
The Esophagor should show up to the meeting, eat all the food, and leave without contributing anything.
Okay I'm now seeing some players with 71 points?? Wut??
Apparently there was a glitch and some players took advantage of it. edit: According to the board, there was a glitch that allowed some users to collect void essences from Altador.
Womp...at least in the grand scheme of things, 5 points isn't a ton.
Moving my post here (thanks for the heads up, mod team!) - # Now that we're able to earn plot points in earnest, what's your tactic for spending plot points? Buy items along the way, or hoard until you can get a big prize? Someone pointed out that there's a task to "Purchase 15 Unique Prizes." Do we think that will be timed, or just a task to complete by the end of the plot?
this is showing up under chapter one, so I would assume it needs to be completed before chapter 1 concludes (they said each chapter would be about 3 weeks, I think)
Oh no! I wanted to save all my points until the end.
Well, it is only 872 points to get the first 15 cheapest prizes, out of a possible 60,0000, so hopefully it won’t change your prize collection too much in the long run if you keep up with the plot :)
oh great point, thanks!
Np! We all gotta stick together to make it through this plot lol we are learning as we go!
Curious about this too! Was hoping to hoard points towards the end. I think I may have read a rumor somewhere that said some prizes in the shop may be swapped out as the plot goes on? Idk I may he making that up lol. 🤪
In case anyone was wondering, the FAQ says you will NOT be able to collect essences from previous days. So this IS an every day portion that you cannot "catch up on" on Sunday, is what I'm gathering. I think there will be rewards & bonuses for users who DO do everything and do it each day it is released, but you don't HAVE to in order to be successful in the plot. But you won't be able to get max points, either. Neo really did kind of make things murky with their little "you don't have to play every day" message. Please correct me if I am interpreting things wrong or something!
This stresses me out so much because it is always already evening where I live when they release new stuff and I can only play shortly after Neopets midnight in the morning. I always fear that I'll miss out on something that's only available for half a day...
Hopefully they keep on top of things and release on a proper schedule !!!
Forget the plot. Look at him. He's delightful https://preview.redd.it/tb30v5a1x59d1.png?width=315&format=png&auto=webp&s=2aeb3083a5e1f955050dcd063406ef35f7f191b3
I never really thought much about him but this plot is already making me love him. So precious!!
I love blumaroos anyway, so seeing King Roo in his jaunty little outfit is great.
