Customization on a Budget
Tips, Tricks, Items and Pics to make the most out of your Neopoint

Ahh… Neopets Customization. The word can make neo-veterans sick or NC mall fanatics cheer. But whether you refuse the dress up your pets or have all the latest NC mall outfits, the importance of customizing your neopets is often underestimated. With the implementation of the NC mall, pet re-draws and continuous new wearables, customization is becoming an aspect of Neopets you can’t ignore. Its priority with most users is already comparable to avatar collecting, trophies, earning neopoints, and so on… So when you stumble across an account with four teary-eyed and naked (or poorly dressed) pets, it significantly lowers the account’s credibility and appeal.
…But by adding some cheap and well-though-out items to your pets, you can increase an account’s credibility and appeal; potentially making a ABing shell appear more legit, reviving higher offers on pets/accounts for sale (Things that are more aesthetically pleasing can sell faster and even for more than they could have initially), and the list goes on. So what are you waiting for, go ahead and start your neopets customization!

BASICS
BACKGROUNDS: Backgrounds are the most important aspect of NP customization because, unlike the majority of other items, they are not overwhelmingly hideous. Backgrounds also fill the majority of the customization space, and a nice background can make a world of difference. When choosing a background, avoid patterned backgrounds and backgrounds that won’t “fit” with other aspects well. Seek out a fair amount of detail, dark shades, rich colors, and low contrast.

CLOTHS AND ACCESSORIES: Unlike the previous two, neopoint accessories DO NOT look great with abundant detail. When choosing these items, be sure to stick to a theme and keep an eye out for bold, simple, and clean items.
Also, there are many pet-specific clothes and accessories that look great and are often very inexpensive. Customizing a certain species? Search it! (See item database link below)

COLOR
Neopets Customizing by color or tone are great ways to keep your pets simple yet aesthetically pleasing–Unfortunately, this is the cheapest and quickest method and it shows. There are not many bold and bright single color items of one color, so to maintain the full effect, I suggest that if you do one pet on the account using this method, remain consistent and do ALL your pets the same way.

In addition to the examples, colors can also be used is more than one shade or tone. Two other nice methods to use are using clothing items to contrast a rare pet’s color, or try combinations of 2 other colors.

THEME
Theme-based neopets customizations are often faster to create, cheaper, and more professional-looking than color based pets. Simply choose a theme (in my case, I chose snow and farmer) and scroll through the item database, keeping an eye out for items that may enhance your neopet’s customization.

PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS
Lastly, remember to play to your strengths! When choosing a neopets customization theme or color, think about what would enhance your pet. For example; the ashia above was customized with light blue tones, creating contrast with the ashia’s dark blue tones, but still complementing the color.
Every account comes with a FREE NC gift from the NC mall. (simply go to the NC mall front page to claim it) The chances of you receiving a background are fairly high, and NC background quality trumps neopoint backgrounds’ tenfold. If you can, use your NC items.
