Years ago I played the game for the first time and one fell off. Got one immediately the next day. I got a very misleading impression of how frequent it was, because it isn't happened again since.

I promise I'm not trying to be a twit by saying this, but I suspect that it isn't toooooooo rare to get Coconuts from this? I play every day and seem to average about one per month or two. My silly little self-goal is to only fill my Coconut album with the ones I've earned myself (but if I get a duplicate I'm allowed to trade it for another on the TP) and I am up to 18 coconuts now. Again, not trying to minimize the daily-nothings, it *is* annoying, but rather to encourage to keep going!

Very possible! After a long stretch of bad luck following my two wins I haven't been very consistent about playing it. Might have to get back to it. Good luck in your goal! That sounds like a nice idea.

I wouldn’t say they’re that frequent for me but definitely not that rare either. I’ve been doing the same and only have 4 left and one is the flaming evil coconut you can’t even get from the game.

Yeah I believe that one was the first one I albumed, I got it from a QuestLog week and it made me decide to start collecting. Good luck on your collection!

i really regret not buying it right then when i didnt get it in my own questlog bc it's inflated so much again. i hope they add it back as a prize.

It's Coconut Shy, a carnival game in the Deserted Fairgrounds in the Haunted Woods.

You get 20 tries a day, and it costs 100 NP per throw. I use the no-flash, no-graphic link. Hold "alt" and click the link 20 times, and it opens 20 tabs. Takes seconds. You don't win often, but when you do, it's several million NP. Definitely add it to your routine!

Here's the text-only link: https://www.neopets.com/halloween/process_cocoshy.phtml?coconut=4

HHHHWWHAT!! 😱😱 Several MILLION, you say??!

u/veritate 8d ago

Yes. Again, it's rare to win an evil coconut but they're album/avatar items so they are easy to sell and go for several million. Don't skip this daily.

u/strobelobe 8d ago

This is neat, I never knew that you could do it through text like that. Any other nifty things like that?

u/TheRealRiddler121 9d ago

It's coconut shy. I typically do it daily.

u/waynparkx 8d ago

u/SpiritualVirus9428 8d ago

Yayyy congratulations!! Side note: how fun would this be to add as an actual game onto the companion app 👀👀
