Lutari Island
From issue 17 of Neopets: The Official Magazine
Get a sneak [sic] peak at the new Neopets mobile game!
As the mist clears, you see it is almost twilight. Down below you, floating among the waves, are hundreds of dancing lights, their reflections glittering off the tranquil blue sea that surrounds them. Exotic birds, whose dazzling feathers represent all the colours of the rainbow fly over a landmass as they sing magically.
Welcome to Lutari Island. For ages, this hauntingly beautiful yet elusive island has been the subject of whispered myths, but its existence has only recently been confirmed. Unlike any other place in Neopia, the Island is a great floating mass that drifs along with the sea, making its location impossible to chart. Many a Neopet has searched far and wide for this enigmatic land, but few haven been successful.
Now, thanks to Neopets Mobile, you can explore the beauty and riches of this lovely island for yourself! Just download the game to your mobile phone, connect it to a new or pre-existing Neopets account, and discover the entirely new world of Lutari Island. Here are just a few of the features you can access when you add Neopets Mobile to your phone.
Island Gossip
One of the most prominent places on the Island, Island Gossip is where natives gather to learn the latest news from the mainland. Just because the rest of Neopia can’t find them doesn’t mean the islanders are similarly out of touch! Here at Island Gossip, you can keep up to date with the most current news on the Neopets website.
Survival Academy
Turning to the southeast, one cannot help but notice Survival Academy, Lutari Island’s training school. Decorated by bold blue feathers that are spotted in yellow and red, the Academy represents the Island’s strength. A wide range of skills is required to survive in the wilderness of Island life, and there is no better place to learn these lessons than at the Academy. Here, Neopian students learn physical fitness and the art of protecting themselves, while building up strength for future adventures.
Only feathers from Lutari Island’s native birds are accepted as payment at the Academy. These stunning creatures are highly regarded by the islanders, which is why their vibrant feathers are the only form of currency that the Island’s training school accepts. You can occasionally find dropped feathers while exploring the Island, but they are also available in the Island Shop. 
Wheel of Happiness
Looking for a little more joy and excitement in your life? Give the Wheel of Happiness a spin and experience some of the delights that it has to offer. If today is your lucky day, any one of its fabulous prizes could be yours! For those who are impatient, there’s no need to fret! The Wheel can be spun every half hour for 100 NP, so there’s plenty of happiness to go around. The only to learn what riches your future may hold is by visiting the Wheel of Happiness and giving it a spin.
Lutari Savings Bank
At the centre of the Island stands Lutari Savings Bank, a branch of the famed National Neopian Bank. Since it’s so difficult to travel to and from the Island, the inhabitants built their own bank to keep their funds safe. Never fear, though; your Neopoints from the mainland can be accessed here, so you can directly manage all your finances while on the Island, including collecting your interest.
Island Market
Like the other Neopian lands, Lutari Island has a bustling shop of its own. Island Market sells many kinds of items, including a few things that are exclusive to [sic] theI! Browse through the great deals and unique island merchandise, and haggle with the friendly Kacheek shopkeeper to your heart’s content.
Fluorescent Pools
To the west you can see cascades of sparkling water drifting calmly in tranquil pools. These are the Fluorescent Pools, which are as beautiful as they are beneficial to your body and spirit. If you are suffering aches and pains from your Battledome training or are simply weary from your [sic] journey to Island, sit back and relax in the pools. Their cool waters will refresh you in no time.
Bog of Charity
The islanders believe strongly in aiding those who are less fortunate and seek to ensure a high quality of life for everyone. That’s why they generous natives will often drop off their excess goods at the Bog of Charity. Stop by and see what happens. You never know what you may find.
Briana’s Quest
If you’re lucky, you may encounter a lovely air faerie while exploring Lutari Island. That is Briana. She lives on the Island and is well known for asking Neopets to help her by undertaking quests.
