There are many ways to raise your pets stats but the primary ways to train and raise your pet stats is through the the Mystery Island Training School and by the Swashbuckling Academy.

 

Mystery Island Training School

When you enroll your pet into the Mystery Island Training School your pet is trained under the guidance of the Techo Master. There, your pet can be trained in 5 different courses; strength, defence, agility, endurance, and level. Each course is paid for with Codestones and it depends on the level of your pet as to how many Codestones each course will cost.

The following chart shows you the 8 levels of courses, how many Codestones each course will cost and the length of time it will take to complete each course. NOTE: Once your Neopet reaches level 250, you will no longer be able to use the training school.

 

Course Type Neopet Level Cost Length
Grasshopper 20 and Under 1 Codestone 2 hours
Basic 21-40 2 Codestones 3 hours
Intermediate 41-80 3 Codestones 4 hours
Adept 81-100 4 Codestones 6 hours
Advanced 101-120 5 Codestones 8 hours
Expert 121-150 6 Codestones 12 hours
Master 151-200 7 Codestones 18 hours
Grand Master 201-250 8 Codestones 24 hours

 

When enrolling your pet, the level of the course and the number of Codestones needed is pre selected. You will then choose which stat you want your pet to train in. When you start the course, you will then be taken to the Current Course Status page where you will be told which Codestones you will need to pay with. Collect the Codestones and return to that same page to pay the course fee and start your pet’s training. At the end of the course duration time, again return to the Current Course Status page and click on the Course Completed button to see the results of the training. Sometimes your pet will do so good in it’s training that it will be given a bonus stat increase!

NOTE: Each pet can only be enrolled in one course at a time and once you click on the Start Course button, you can not withdraw your pet from that course.

What are Red Codestones used for?
If your pet is higher than level 250 you’ll need a Red Codestone to be able to train your pet. You can trade 10 different regular Codestones to get one of the Red Codestones by going to the Mystery Island Volcano. Alternatively, you can buy Red Codestones from the Trading Post, the Shop Wizard or the Auctions.

Cap’n Threelegs’ Swashbuckling Academy

The Swashbuckling Academy, which is located on Krawk Island, is similar to the Mystery Island Training School however, you pay for the courses in Dubloons, it takes longer to train your pet and the academy only takes Neopets up to level 40.

The following chart shows you the levels of courses, how many Dubloons each course will cost and the length of time it will take to complete each course.

 

Course Type Level Cost Length
Sea Urchin 10 and under
1 Dubloon		 4 hours
Deckhand 11-20
2 Dubloons		 6 hours
Pirate 21-30
5 Dubloons		 8 hours
Cap’n 31-40
5 Dubloons		 10 hours

 

Just like the Mystery Island Training School, when enrolling your pet in the Academy, the level of the course and the number of Dubloons needed is pre selected. You will then choose which stat you want your pet to train in. When you start the course, you will then be taken to a Current Course Status page. There you will be shown what the course will cost. Once you have the Dubloon, return to that same page to pay the course fee and start your pet’s training. At the end of the course duration time, return to the Current Course Status page again and click on the Course Completed button to see the results of the training.

NOTE: Again, each pet can only be enrolled in one course at a time however, at the Swashbuckling Academy you do have the option to cancel the course enrollment if you want to.

 

 

So, which courses should you enroll your pet in?

Well, at this time Movement does nothing and Defence is limited in the Battledome so they are not crucial areas to train in however, you may wish to keep all your pets stats around the same level because you can save on Codestones/Dubloons in the sense that you won’t have to pay 2 Codestones/Dubloons when your pet is a level 21 but it’s strength is 20. You can check your pets’ statistics on the Course Status page to see where your pet is currently in it’s stats.

NOTE: No statistic can go above twice your pets level. So for example, if you pet has 64 hit points and is at level 32, you will not be able to raise any other stats until you raise its level again first.

 

 

What does all this training help with in the Battledome?

Level - Needed for abilities, species moves, and higher training at the Mystery Island Training School.
Endurance (Hit Points) - The more hit points your pet has, the longer it can last in the Battledome.
Strength - Makes your attacks do more damage.
Defence - Increases your Improved Defend, if you have it.
Agility (Movement) - Nothing at this time.

 

 

What are some other ways to raise your pets stats?

Kitchen Quests - Besides getting item rewards, sometimes your pet’s stats may improve and it can even be cheaper than buying the Codestones and/or Dubloons for training. The ratio is approximately 2 to 4 out of every 10 kitchen quests will raise a random stat.

Treasure Maps - By completing and trading in Space and Underwater Map Pieces, your pets can gain levels although this will cost more than training schools unless you get the map pieces cheap or free through random events.

Scratchcards - Terror Trove and Faeries Fortune Scratchcards can increase your pets level but this is pure luck of the scratch. About a 1 in 20 chance of success.

Count von Roo’s Deadly Dice - If you can roll a higher number than Count von Roo, your pet will gain a level. Be careful, if your number isn’t higher, your pet will lose a level.



Mushrooms - There are certain Mushrooms that by feeding them to your pet, will increase certain stats. They are:

Level Up Shroom = 1 level.
Strength Shroom = 1 strength.
Mega Power Plusshroom = Can raise defence, level and hit points. (NOTE: The increase can be 1 or 2 per stat or, sometimes nothing at all.)
Super Fast Shroom = Says it will make your pet faster however, it actually does nothing at all.

Beware that the Shrooms are extremely expensive and many times unbuyable therefore, not really worth the cost.



Neggs - Like the Shrooms, there are certain Neggs that can also increase your pets stats. There are four way to get these Neggs; the Neggery, the Trading Post, the Shop Wizard or the Auctions.

Cool Negg = 1 level, 2-3 of each hit points, strength and movement.
Super Negg = 1 level, 2-3 hit points and movement.
Spiked Negg = 2-6 hit points.
Snegg = 2-4 hit points, 2-4 movement.
Power Negg = 1 strength.
Basic Power Negg = 1 strength or nothing at all.
Silver Knight Negg = 1 defense.
Faerie Queen Negg = 1 hit point.
Radioactive Negg = Will increase a level of a random ability.
Plaid Negg = Can raise the level of a random ability BUT can change your pets color.
