If you have a question that this guide does not answer please leave a comment, or submit your question here and I’ll do my best to help you. Because of the popularity of this post and the constant updates to it I’ve pinned this to the front page. Scroll down for newer posts.
Subeta is one of the best virtual pet sites. It’s a smaller community, and that’s one of its charms. Unlike Neopets, you aren’t fighting tens of thousands of people for a single item. On a big site like Neopets it’s easy to become lost in the crowd. On Subeta it is easy to make money and integrate yourself into the site quickly. But, like any site, new users might have some trouble when they don’t know their way around. There are topics and FAQs to help new members, but it can be difficult sorting through so much information. Since so many people end up joining and never doing anything, and I have seen many searches for Subeta guides in my websites referral history, I decided to write the kind of guide I would like to have seen when I was a starting out there. This guide aims to be clear and concise, with all the information you could possibly need in one place. If you are looking for something in particular try pressing CTRL + F and searching for a keyword. If you have a question and you can find the answer here post a comment and I’ll help you as best I can. Not a member of Subeta yet, and not sure if you want to join? Check out all the awesome pets at the Neocolours Subeta page and all the well-dressed avatars at Style File. ![]() Pet Creation – Once you are registered you can create your virtual pet by going to the Adopt a Pet page (Personal > Pets > Adopt a Pet) There are 58 to choose from, 6 being limited. The limited pets are Hipottu, Antlephore, Telenine, Sheeta, Cybill, and Kerubi. Limited pets are released randomly, If you don’t want to create a new pet, you can also adopt one from the pound, Adopt R Us (Explore > Veta Lake > Adopt R Us). There are usually quite a few basic colored pets (like dawn and field) as well as Experimenta pets. You can create a total of 5 pets with a normal account, and 5 more with a gold. Gold accounts can be purchased from the Cash Shop for $5 (500 CSC), or from the user shops for 9-10 million sP. With a gold account activated you can create 10 addition pets by using the Mystical Montre Plushie, or the Mystical Donadak Plushie, which give one and two pet slots respectively, for a total of 20 pets. For every year after the second year you are a member of the site you get a loyalty box, which can be used create more.
Darkmatter Potion – Available for purchase in the Millionaire Center for 4 million. Galactic – This is a special color available on the 6th and 7th of each month. At the Cave’s Quest (Explore > Coda Caves) select a pet to be blessed, then bring the item requested. There are not set gems you need to to complete the Cave’s Quest, it changes every time. They are usually very cheap, due to the amount of gems available, but keep several million on hand just in case. Even if you don’t want a Galactic pet I suggest you go to the caves on those days, as you get achievements for digging up gems. Glade – Glade is one of the most popular colors on the site. Rather than buying a Glade potion, it is cheaper to purchase an Ornate Floral Pitcher and fill it at Peka Glade (available 8-9 am and 8-9 pm, Subeta time/EST). This turns the pitcher into a Glade potion. Glacier – It is usually slightly cheaper to buy the items Artificial Prism Chalice and Bucket of Polar Water and combine them at Asmodeus Genetech Lab (Explore – Darkside – Asmodeus Genetech Lab) rather than purchase one already made. Nuclear Potion – Unlike the above two, it is cheaper to buy the Nuclear Potion than to create it at Genetech, due to the cost of the Supercritical Core. Hydrus – To create a Hydrus you must complete the Uncharted Land Map and then complete Merana’s quest. Steamwork – Steamwork pets are one of the most expensive to create. They can be built or you can turn an existing pet into a steamwork one. Because the processes is more comlicated than the others, I won’t list the details here. You can find instructions on making a Steamwork pet here at Subeta (scroll down to the highlighted part). Angelic Potion – Angelic Potions can be bought in the Cash Shop for 1500 credits, or from the user shops. Because it is a cash shop item, it costs more sP than most others. Scribble – To obtain a scribble pet you must use the Potion of Purity. Miracle Potion I and II – Like the Angelic Potion these are Cash Shop items (2000 credits), and can cost a great deal of sP. The Miracle Potion can change your pet into any color of available for it, except Hydrus, and the Miracle Potion II changes your pets species without changing its color. Common Potion – The common potion will change your pet back to its default color. Other Pets – There are several other special pets available on the site, Aeanoid, Experiment, Bumbus, Cadogre, and Endeavor. You can obtain Experiment pets through the V2 Zapper, and Aeanoid from an Aeanoid plant. Experiment pets can only be colored Scribble.
Pet Zappers – For Wizard Tokens you zap your pet to change its color, gender, species, and stats. Most colors can be zapped, and the Version 2 pet zapper can change your pet to Experiment, zapping is random, and doesn’t always work. The first pet zapper is at the Carnival (Explore > Carnival Tent Picture > Pet Zapper), and the second is at Ziara (Explore > Ziara > Pet Zapper Version 2). Pet Name Changing – You can change the name of your pet by using the Enchanted Hypnosis Wand, a cash shop item that costs 1000 CSC (cash shop credits), and sells in the user shops for around 20 million.
The best time for restocking is early in the morning EST (Subeta time) when there are less users online, except when the Holiday Shop is open (during holidays obviously). When new items are released this is also the optimal time to be online, because these do sell fast.
Saggitarius’s Quests, The Oracle Quests, Sarah’s Quests, Drunk Carl’s Quests, the Blue Building, all have special requirements. For Saggitarius the amount of sP you have cannot go below 750000. That means you must have more than 750000 sP to complete his quests, at least 950000. The Oracle is a random quest, so you can only complete these when she asks you for an item. For Sarah you can’t have more than 500000 sP to complete the quests. You must have access to the Omen Islands to do the Drunk Carl quest, meaning you have to have completed the Uncharted Land Map. And for Blue Building you must have access to Blue Building. A list of the requirements can be found on the Blue Building page (Explore > Centropolis > Blue Building). Buying items from the Blue Building and completing Blue Building quests is best reserved for creating a Bumbus or getting achievements. The cost of the items it takes to complete the quest is often more than how much they sell for the in shops, so if you want a Blue Building item it is usually better to buy it from someone else.
Treasure Maps – Treasure map pieces can be found from random events, the Random game, and through other users. As long as you time your purchases of the map pieces right, as they can fluctuate, completing treasure maps can be profitable, and you can at the very least get the money back you spent on it. You can complete as many maps as you like, and get rare items for turning all your pieces in.
Alegarten – Alegarten is a short holiday and is basically Oktoberfest. No event takes place, but the holiday shop is stocked with German themed items and beer. Morostide – This is Subeta’s Halloween. You can egg and TP users, trick-or-treat at their profile (for which you either get a prize or you get “tricked” and your avatar is turned into something), and look for items in the pumpkin patch. There are wait times after each lasting between 2-10 minutes. Fireside – Fireside is a fall holiday taking place after Morostide. The Veta Lake bonfire is lit, and users can throw in effigies the Red Rreign, which can be found floating around the site. There are achievements for finding the floating items, throwing them in the bonfire, and more.
Gift Wrapping – To gift wrap presents for Luminaire go to the the Gift Center at Arctic Frost. Make sure you have some wrapping paper in your inventory (found at Holiday Shop or in the user shops) and follow the steps on the page. Freyalise Trading Company – The Freyalise Trading Company sells pirate and other nautical items. It most likely opens for about a week in September. Reading Drive – The Reading Drive is a contest where you donate books in exchange for points. The points can be used to buy themed prizes such as the Key of Secrets background (The Secret Garden), Emily doll (A Little Princess), Orange Glowing Wand (Harry Potter), The One Ring (Lord of the Rings), and more. The new prizes for each ongoing Reading Drive are not revealed until the contest is over. As of the 2011 Reading Drive, books of higher rarity and special books earn more points than a common book does. You can only turn in each book once. A good way to get books is to vend at the Blue Sky crane, located at Veta Lake, and sell any duplicate books and buy more books with the sP. You can find Reading Drive page in the Games section under the link “Reading Contest”.
Stickers – Unlike the other collections you cannot add stickers to your collection, only give them to other people. You can add a sticker to someone’s album by clicking the “Add to Friends Sticker Collection” link on the items page. Bobbleheads – Bobbleheads can be obtained by purchasing an item from the Cash Shop, or buying one from another user. Upon completing your bobblehead collection you receive a rare, exclusive prize.
Cults – Cults (available under the Interact tab) are groups for users of similar interests. Some Cults, such as CHIC, an exclusive Subeta fashion group for those with stylish avatars, require an application. Daily Item is the most popular cult.

Filed under: Youtubing I like the song My Heart Will Go On, but Celine Dion’s voice annoys me. I heard some guy sing the song at a Titanic event in Nova Scotia (it streamed online, I wasn’t there). He wasn’t bad though I prefer a female singer. When I searched YouTube I found this video of Charice. I didn’t love it, but she has an undeniably powerful voice so I wanted to hear more. Some of the highlights of what I found are Note to God, Charice Pempengco on Ellen DeGeneres, Christmas at Rockefeller Center, I Will Always Love You, My Heart Will Go On (Full), charice most talented kid in the world, and of course the video embedded above. I love how it seems like David Foster is always smiling whenever he performs with her. Tags: music, video, youtube |

Filed under: Youtubing I’d heard people bitching about Star Wars Kinect before, but I was only introduced to it today (thanks Death Star PR). And it is A M A Z I N G! I don’t understand what all the fuss is about, this is hilarious. Some people take things to seriously. Why is the dancing “competition” at the Star Wars weekend in Disney World okay, but this isn’t? I’d love to see this for everything ever! Harry Potter dance off, Code Geass dance off (Emperor Charles or Palpitations, who’s the better dancer?), Durarara dance off. Why limit it to entertainment? Heck this is how history and literature should be taught! Some more of my favorites: Kinect Star Wars – Village People YMCA/”Empire Today”, Kinect Star Wars Gameplay With Chad Vader Tags: video, youtube |

WDisney’s preliminary hearing is tomorrow, and mommy dearest is getting her stitches out then too. I pissed her off several times today when she was complaining once again that she doesn’t know where she’s going to go, and doesn’t know where she’s going to work. She says she looks like Frankenstein’s monster and no one will want to hire her, in addition to the fact she’s old. I can give her advice, but she won’t take it and will only get angry. I know they say not everyone is looking for advice when they’re venting, and they just want to be heard, but she has been heard plenty of times. There are things she could do but she won’t do them. Another reason I made her angry is because she found out today that Nita sent me a card, but not her. She asked me how much money Nita sent me and I prefaced my answer by stating that I wasn’t going to give it to her, so there’s no point in asking. Mommy dearest got angry about that, but with her track record (she took all of the money Nita sent me one year without telling me, which she still owes me for, she took Pap Pap’s money from me one time without telling me, plus many more times). She said it doesn’t matter since only my name is on the card, but that’s never stopped her before. If I was living with her she’d just take the money and never tell me I’d gotten a card.

Edit: Okay, I finished deleting everything. I found a couple things I accidentally deleted and restored them, but I’m not going through 344 items to see if there is anything else. I do a backup with every new post, so it’s not that big a deal. Since I’m here I might as well address some things. I haven’t been posting much because really there isn’t much to post about. There isn’t a whole lot of variation in my life, and everything that was true last week, last month, last year, is probably true now. There are other things I could blog about like current events and news, but for several years I’ve tried to avoid controversy because I did all that in my mid teens. Obviously that didn’t work. I had no idea a simple review and guide would garner the scorn it did. I didn’t realize people would take my opinions about some websites as personal attacks against them. I know about Justin Bieber and Twilight’s rabid fans reacting badly to criticism of them, but I never thought some comparatively small (to Justin Bieber and Twilight, so STFU) game sites would cause the same insanity. While those people deserve derision, had I known what would happen I probably wouldn’t have bothered because it isn’t worth it. I have the other guide but I don’t know if I want to post it. I like virtual pet sites and adoptables games, I am familiar with them, and the intention of the guides are to help others of the same inclinations find sites that are a good fit for them, whatever site that may be, whether it’s one I like or not. But I know it’ll just make some people pissy again. I’m not 14 anymore, and I don’t want to have to deal with the silliness of people who are. What’s done is done, but I don’t want to invite more trouble which is why I usually keep my mouth shut (and stay away from message boards) and limit personal opinions to Twitter where they’re more likely to vanish into the ether, forgotten. So that’s why I haven’t been posting here much for… a while now. And that’s why I was trying to import my Tumblr. I’m not that into Tumblr, but I occasionally reblog things I find funny. I wanted to bring some new content over here but it was just a formatting mess. Anyway, I still don’t know what to blog about. Originally it was venting due to my screwed up mother. I’m away from her now, and while things are still screwed up, once again there’s very little variation with it. I thought about just sticking with content updates, but right now I’m pretty much just working on my fanlistings. I got approved for the Clovis la Britannia fanlisting, and Schneizel’s got a new layout, and I’m doing some other things with them. I made some icons for them both so I’ll probably bring them over here at some point, and do individual posts announcing the updates to them. I’m just going to stop now before I ramble any more. All I wanted to say was why I haven’t been posting and it turned into this. Tags: rambling, updates |

Two basically good days. My mood has been yo-yoing between hopeful and despondent for the past few weeks, but yesterday I was in a very good mood. Cyndy took me out and I got to go to Red Lobster. I get to go there once a year or less so it was a very nice treat for me. I got my usual, crab linguini alfredo. Didn’t get the chocolate wave cake, after everything Cyndy does for me I couldn’t ask for something else. And no more chocolate for me now since I’ve given it up for Lent. After we got out of Red Lobster Cyndy took me to Best Buy, she was talking about getting me a printer for me and a new computer for herself, though not right now. Her computer of 10 years finally kicked the bucket, so she’s thinking about getting either a laptop or a tablet. Since she had time I got to look around. The Best Buy wasn’t great, the one near South Hills Village is bigger and has more things, but it was still a lot of fun. I love technology, it was great getting to look at everything. If you don’t love technology you can’t imagine how wonderful it is to be let loose in a store like that. The biggest TV I found there (though not the biggest I know of) was 70 inches. It was incredible. Cynthia went to church yesterday, and I asked if I could go today with her for Ash Wednesday. We went to Eat n Park after. I broke some sort of rule and had chicken, Cynthia had fish. When we got home of course Cynthia had to tell everyone that I went, and even my mother was acting shocked like “didn’t the church cave in?” I am a Christian, I was raised Christian, this isn’t anything new (though the whole going to church thing is). Just because I don’t shout it from the rooftops or try to force other people to believe what I do doesn’t mean I’m not. And I love that church. It is so beautiful. I don’t care how wonderful other churches are, to me the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh is the most beautiful church in the world. It is so gothic, awe inspiring, and has huge Tiffany’s stained glass windows. I just love it. However I do not love the views of the people who have control of it right now. They’re evangelical, and however much Cynthia disagrees with that term they are self-described “bible-centered evangelical.” Their website is a whole lot of conservative. They support a bunch of evangie missions, crisis pregnancy centers, and the fake jews. What was most infuriating for me is they support evangelical missions in Africa. They are responsible for the witch hunts in Africa, and people like Helen Ukpabio. And they are so blind and ignorant to it, or they just don’t care. Maybe these crazies even support it. First Presby also had some people at the 40 Days for Life crap, but in the picture it only showed like 5 people. The church isn’t that popular so they feel they have to change. Their solution? Become more crazy. Because their conservative church isn’t getting people in the pews, they think their problem is they aren’t conservative enough. Since I’ve been out of internet I’ve finally started the rest of the winter anime season I’ve been meaning to. I don’t like The Knight in the Area very much, even though FukuJun is sorta in it. I’m actually enjoying Ano Natsu de Matteru, despite it not being my kind of thing. I’ve already been watching Senki Zesshou Symphogear, Another, and Inu X Boku SS. Symphogear is stupid of course, but if you accept it as stupid and treat it as a ridiculous comedy it can be somewhat enjoyable. I love horror and there needs to be more horror anime so of course I like Another well enough. It’s not wonderful, but good enough. Inu X Boku I don’t like at all, it’s so annoying. I still have to start Brave 10, that pirates one, that daily/boys/life one, and some others. I was trying to copy their titles but that made explorer crash so I’m not going to do that again. It’s all because of this stupid 10 bit shit they’re all doing now. I can’t play it in VLC or KMP, and it makes explorer crash. I think it’s because I have DivX installed, but I can’t uninstall it because I need it for a video site I use. Or maybe it’s just because 10 bit is useless, elitist crap we don’t need! As for the title, most people know one of those. If you don’t, you probably are one! I’m definitely going to watch GCB when it starts. Tags: anime, family, life, outing, restaurant |

Posted by Megan on January 15th, 2012
Filed under: Entertainment Another video. I’m going to be posting these ones for a while because they’re awesome. They’re not only funny, they’re surprisingly polished, and often better than the actual songs they’re based on. I can’t get “Beard With Glue” out of my head. And if you haven’t seen them yet, check out Bad Lip Reading’s videos of the Republican candidates. I’m not sure whether they make them look more stupid, or more smart because anything better than that is a step up. Tags: funny, humor, mom, music, online, parody, video, youtube |
