Kiko Lake - Items Guide

Special Effect Items

Have you ever wondered exactly what a certain potion does? Wonder no more, for we bring you this handy guide that explains what they do and where they come from!

Gender Fluid

One sip of this and your pet will suddenly begin to feel a tingly sensation... (Special thanks to jedi for providing the art for this item!)

Gender Fluid

This item allows you to change the gender of your pets at any time. It will not, however, change gender specific designs for pets such as Royal or Usuki.

Gender Fluid sometimes stocks at the Craft Stall that pops up only during certain events in Neopia Central. It typically costs between 900np and 4000np from the vendor.

As of June 2022 (Pride month!) NPC now allows pets to be created with more genders, however pets created before this will need to use this item if they prefer to have a gender different than male and female.

This flask allows any pet to change to the following options:

None

Other

Non-binary

Female

Male

Strange Potion

This item also allows you to change the gender of your pets at any time, and will allow you to change the appearance of gender specific designs for pets such as Royal or Usuki.

This item stocks at the Hidden Tower and costs 225,000np from the vendor.

In NPC, when you paint a pet a gender specific colour like Royal or Usuki
you will get to choose what design is displayed regardless of the pets set gender.

This flask allows any pet to change to the following options:

None

Other

Non-binary

Female

Male

Like... haven't you heard? Gendered clothing is sooo last century! Here, bestie.. use this totes fab kit to change your Usukilicious look!

Magical Usuki Makeup Kit

This item allows you to change the appearance of your usuki/royal pets at any time. It will not, however, change the gender.

Upgrade Disc / Shattered Disc

Oh dear, this disc won't be doing much when it's all in pieces like this!

Have your obsolete pet updated for the new era!

Shattered Disc / Upgrade Disc

The upgrade disc turns a Retro coloured pet back to "normal"! Basically un-retros your pet.
You can get the base item, the shattered disc, through fishing! You will need to repair the shattered disc at Donny's Toy Repair Shop. You'll then have an Upgrade Disc. You will take it to the neopetv2 console at the space station and it will turn your retro pet back into a "regular" pet of the same color and species. The item will be consumed on use.

Items of Interest

These items may be unfamiliar to new neopians, so we thought it would be important to provide a little guidance.

Various Tokens and Fragments
Be sure to read over our Tokens Guide if you haven't already mastered tokens.

Various Seeds
Many interesting seeds can be found through random events in Neopia. You have a small chance to find them when fishing at the Underwater Fishing Cavern with your pets.

There are many seeds to be found, and they can all be planted in your NPC Neogarden. Be sure to gain access from Lucy at Meri Acres Farms. If you haven't already done so, check out this great beginners guide by Hale.

Pins and Charms
These items will sometimes stock at the Craft Stall that pops up only during certain events in Neopia Central.
They typically cost between 500np and 5000np from the vendor.
Pins and charms can be added to your userlookup and appear underneath your site trophies and pets, but above game trophies.

Pins have no effect on game play but are useful to show off your pride or identify yourself. Pins can be added or removed at any time with no penalty.

Charms, while also stocking in the Craft Stall, are far more rare and may have positive and/or negative effects on game play.

Paintbrush charms will tarnish once removed and will become account bound (no-trade). Having two of the same charm (or tarnished/regular) does not increase the effect of the charm.

Faerie beads are a special charm only handed out occasionally when completeing a quest for the respective faerie. The greater faeries, Queen, Grey, and Battle, have a chance to hand out charms as well!
