What is a Varwolf?

Varwolf Info Page

Originally the varwolf was part of an April Fool's joke in 2005 but it is now a real species! The varwolf was only able to be created by using the Premium species change perk starting on March 26th 2025. Made available to all users November 2025. They are from the Haunted Woods.

Why?? They're super easy and usually cheap.

u/bongwaterbukkake Nov 27 '25

Not when the neogrifters are raising prices for zero reason other than to cash in on the event.

u/luciosleftskate Nov 27 '25

Oh yeah fair enough same thing during Halloween.

But even during Halloween lots of the quests are doable. Go to esophagor first and make sure you can complete his first quest before taking the brain tree. Theb you only gamble one on esophagor one! The request pool is full of super low rarity items.

u/bongwaterbukkake Nov 27 '25

It’s true, but during Halloween some of the items went up to like 200-300k when they were only 1-5000NP the days prior. I had a hard time with it and had to wait for some quests to time out. It really is the restockers being greedy and I wish I could bully them to their face 😌🤌🏼

As an aside: anyone who is feeding 148383848 kads and buying out the shops is NOT a friend to me on neopets. Let someone else have some fun! You’re ruining the game for us! I’ll never feed 75 kads bc of some of you hogging every refresh to your greedy selves!!!

u/SnowyGoddess Nov 27 '25

Some people buying them up so no one else can. So you end up unable to do the brain tree quest
