Crabby Hopbobbin's Donation Drive (2024)
The Donation Drive event began on September 25, 2024, and and lasted through October 9, 2024.
Event Quests
To activate the Donation Drive, you must complete a pair of introductory questlines. The first involves painting the Festival Plaza, while the second activates the event itself through Lania.
Donation Drive
Crabby Hopbobbin is calling for donations from Dacardia to the rest of Neopia who are currently dealing with the turmoil from The Void Within. This is considered returning the favor from Neopia's help for Dacardia during Charity Corner 2020. You can help by donating any items you have in your inventory.
Items can be donated by visiting the Festival Plaza. Once there, click the button to open the event. Then, click on the "Donate Now" button in the bottom right corner:
Here, items can be turned in for Crabby Tickets. These can be exchanged for prizes both in-app and on Neopets.com! The number of tickets an item is worth is based on its item type and rarity. You can earn a maximum of 200 per calendar day.

How to Donate
Simply tap on any item on the lefthand side. You can use the tabs on the left to filter to certain types of items, but cannot sort the list overall. After tapping an item, you can use the slider to specify an exact quantity to donate, then press the yellow "Add" button. The item will now appear in a box to the right. The total value of the item(s) selected will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can add additional items, up to 10 unique items at a time, each with any quantity.
When you are satisfied, press the green "Donate" button in the bottom right corner. Your items will be immediately removed from your inventory and you will be credited with your Crabby Tickets! If you have more than 10 unique items to donate, simply repeat this process multiple times.
Make sure not to exceed your daily maximum! After you have hit your daily maximum, the green "Donate" button will become inactive. However, the event will not stop you from donating items worth more than the maximum before then; these items will be taken and you will not receive extra Crabby Tickets. For example, donating 240 worth of items in one batch will consume all of the items, but only award you 200.
Milestone Prizes
Upon earning certain set amounts of Crabby Tickets, you will earn prizes either in-app or, if you have NeoPass connected, on Neopets.com.
