Per request, I have setup a new forwarding domain with co.nr. This site can now be reached by http://www.theinformationstation.co.nr/

3/24/09: Ready to Roll!

2009-03-24T13:04:00.000-07:00

I've copied all of the previous TIS content onto here over the past few weeks and sat down and went through everything today. I think I have everything formatted and linked up correctly, but please feel free to holler at me if anything doesn't work or looks "off"! :)

Those of you who've emailed me regarding contributing, you'll be hearing back from me this week! I want to make sure I have everything in place and get the permissions set up so everyone can access and post where needed.

I've contacted previous TIS affiliates and notified them of the move. I've also contacted several prospective affiliates and hope to hear something back soon from those.

So far, so good! :D

Training Your Pet / Status and Level Changes

2009-03-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

To raise your pet's stats, the main way is via the training schools on Krawk Island and Mystery Island. Doing so can increase your pet's Level, Strength, Defense, Endurance (HP), and Speed.

Levels: The Swashbuckling Academy on Krawk Island only takes Neopets up to level 40. The Mystery Island Training School however, will take pets up to level 250. After reaching level 250, your pet will have to go elsewhere to train.

Payment: The Swashbuckling Academy on Krawk Island takes dubloons. The Mystery Island Training School takes codestones.

A few training guides to help you along your way: Versiteee's Training Guide, Keep It Straightforwardly Simple Training
