Neopets Island Training

The Academy is a training school for all pets under level 40, it can be found on Krawk Island and is run by Cap'n Threelegs. At the Academy you can pick your pet and one of the five courses (level, strength, defence, agility and endurance). After you have done so, you. Neopets.Com - Virtual Pet Community!

Codestones have been around since the training schools, which is for many years. Codestones are magical items, which came from Mystery Island. These rare rocks can be given to train pets, or traded for red codestones.

Codestones are giving out from Tombola quite often and you can find them in random events! If not, there is always the auctions, trading post or shop wizard. Codestones are quite expensive though, ranging from 6000-8000 neopoints a piece! But there are well worth it when using them in the Mystery Island Training School. The red codestones are used for the Secret Ninja Training School. To get a red codestone, you must place 10 codestones into the volcano to get ONE red codestone!

RED CODESTONES

Red codestones. What are those you ask? They are “rare” stones used as “payment”. There are only two ways we know of on how to get a red codestone. You can either purchase one from the Shop Wizard, trading post or auctions, or go to the volcano. You must collect every single regular codestone (the yellow ones: main, lu etc.) and visit the Volcano. You must have ONE of EACH regular codestone (the yellow ones). Once you have all ten, it will give you a red codestone, which is completely random, meaning you can get any red codestone.


If you (and your neo-wallet) work very hard at training your pet, there will come a time when it graduates from both the Swashbuckling Academy and the Mystery Island Training School. Once this is the case, you’ll need to take up training at the Secret Ninja Academy, also found on Mystery Island. This is only for elite BD pets, so you won’t be able to access it otherwise!

FINDING THE SECRET NINJA SCHOOL

It’s not called “secret” for nothing! The Secret Ninja Training School is located on Mystery Island, up the stairs of the volcano next to the regular Training School. You can find it based on the picture below (or just click the direct link above):

If you don’t have a pet that is eligible to train here — i.e. a pet that is at least level 250 — then you will get the following message:

Don’t have your feelings hurt! Just train harder.

TRAINING

Training here is exactly like Mystery Island Training School. You simply enroll your pet in a specific course and then pay the codestone(s) required to complete that course. Unlike the MITS, you can cancel the course you selected in order to choose a new course; the only catch is that you have to wait a full 24 hours before you’ll be able to select a new course at all.

Adept3002 codestones6 hours
Advanced4003 codestones8 hours
Expert5004 codestones10 hours
Master6005 codestones12 hours
Grand Master750+6 codestones12 hours

You can train all of your stats here: Strength, Defense, Health (Endurance), Movement (Agility), and Level. Just as with the Swashbuckling Academy and MITS, you cannot train your pet’s stats above twice its level, so always keep your pet’s level in mind!

Cutting down on training time

If 12 hours is simply too much for you to wait, you can head over to Noda’s Fortune Cookies (NC Mall) and purchase a Training Fortune Cookie. They currently cost 125 NC and reduce your training time between 30% and 75% for five days.

PAYING FOR YOUR COURSES: RED CODESTONES

While the Swashbuckling Academy takes dubloons and the Mystery Island Training School takes tan codestones, you must pay for your courses at the Secret Ninja Training School with red codestones. These are generally more expensive than tan codestones, though you are able to use less codestones for a much longer amount of time (see the table above).

WHERE DO YOU GET THESE THINGS?

There are a couple of ways to get red codestones:

Neopets Island Training
  • Make your own! You can throw one of every tan codestone into the Mystery Island volcano and you will receive one random red codestone in return.
  • Purchase from regular Shop Wizard or Super Shop Wizard (SSW). Prices fluctuate occasionally but they are otherwise what you’ll generally see them at on SSW. Because so many players now have SSW, particularly “elite” restockers and resellers, SSW tends to dictate the prices of items more correctly than regular Shop Wiz.
  • Win them in the Battledome. Red codestones can be given out as a prize in the BD. This happens mostly commonly with Jetsam Ace in the Premium-only Cosmic Dome. For non-Premium members, they are given out as a general prize in any dome, but it is quite a rare occurrence. (They say that Koi Warrior has the highest chance of giving them out, though!)
  • Try your luck at the Money Tree. Hey, you never know!

SHOP

You may notice there’s a small shop in the Secret Ninja Training School. Here, you can buy some relatively cheap goods, listed here.

NOTES

Neopets Island Training

  • You are free to train any eligible pets on your side accounts. Make sure that the codestones or NP to buy codestones for these side account pets are from your main account!
  • Just like with the Swashbuckling Academy and Mystery Island Training School, you can receive super bonuses at the Ninja School. Here, though, you will always receive at least two extra bonus points instead of one!
