OMG!!!! Now I wish that I had donated everything!!! Some of these boons are amazing. I am going to take a few days to make a decision.

[Kute 95]

OMG WHHHAT? This is amazing. New avatar? 3% bank intrest? 10 NP STOCKS?!! AHhhhh man. Worth it. Downright worth every item donated.

I could have finally had my garlic jub jub  Ah well, even the boons I qualified for are still super cool. Gonna score some avatars and stat increases on my (non-garlic) jub

Note that you can only collect 1 (randomly selected) site theme & avatar each... Some people on the boards say they were able to get 2 themes, but mine says out of stock.

Wow! I thought those people were lying, but I just checked my preferences and I now have the Curse of Maraqua site theme! When I redeemed my perk it said I only received the Cyodrake Gaze one.

and I got the Qasalan Theme as well in addition to the Curse of Maraqua

[Kute 95]

Mine says out of stock as well. I was able to get the Faeries' Ruin theme though. I think I'll keep it set on that one :) Looks nice. 

[Trea 16]

I didn't donate very much so I only got a "thanks for participating" trophy, 2000 NP and a battered couch, but that's cool. (I usually discard or donate things I don't like, so I didn't have much to donate anyway.) How much do you need to donate to get really good stuff? And what were some of the prizes?  I will save up for next year.

Yep, that is TOTALLY what I am going to get too.  Gonna think about for a while though.  Maybe I will BUY the fiendish formations avatar that I was rooked out of.  lol.  IDK though, seriously though it is something I really need to think about.  I am really glad I donated a lot.  Jelly can buy every perk on here and still have points left over.  lol You go girl!

[Angeló 1972]

i'm looking at the site themes and i'm like .. maaaan why didn't i get the Tale of Woe one ?? it fits my userlookup perfectly !!

 

[lakecat 222]

During the event, a little voice told me "keep going until you get over 5000." But I stopped at 3100, being very busy. Now I wish I had listened. That extra bank interest for a whole year would have been more than worth the extra time and donating of things I didn't have time to sell anyway. Am I correct in thinking the 3% increase means going from 12.5% up to 15.5%, or is it calculated differently?

As far as turning one of your neopets into a limited edition neopet, does that include painted pets, or can I only turn my blue kougra into a blue lutari?

Cool! I guess I should have checked which themes I already had before I did it...

Has anyone else still not received their trophy or award items while contributing  over 13,000 points?

[YarnednDangerous 6]

Wow so many great perks. I wish I had had more things to donate so I could get the Bank Bribery :/
I wonder how long the perk shop will be open; I need to have a long think about what to use my points on

Edit: I may be missing the total obvious but I am not seeing what they mean by "Make sure to check out the list of available avatars/site themes in the FAQs." Help?

They are located in the Charity Corner FAQ in the Help section.http://www.neopets.com/help.phtml?folderID=2597 

Once there, scroll down on the left hand side to find Charity Corner - Make A Difference Drive and click on it. It will then open another drop down titled Charity Corner Perks Shop.

All the information will then show up on the right hand side for you to click on :)

Pffffffft I am blind lol I didn't look at the left side of the FAQs which is why I didn't see there was a drop down. Thank you so much!!

the avatar and theme perks are random. there is a list from which you receive one though, so (esp for the avatar one) you can look in advance (FAQs) and decide if you want to spend the points. For example, I got the royal-korbat avatar because all the rest available were clickables and mutant graveyard of doom II which I already have, so if you have the clickables you'll probably get the same as me. 

the site themes are glitching apparently, so although we only apply the perk once, we get two different themes. I got tale of woe (pretty happy), and mysterious obelisk turned up too. 

I am okay with the perks, some are good, some are meh but that's to be expected. I want to use colour it wild, but I can't decide what colour and which if my pets to choose, and pet images won't load for me to compare etc.

I also got the random event one and I got a magical plum chia pop! That I am very pleased about!

The site theme perk does award two themes  (it'll only mention one, but actually award two)

Yeah I got the Royal - Korbat girl one. I was a little excited about the fact that we got to get an avatar and theme, but leave it to TNT for it to be completely random and not even let us pick.... I'm still kind of meh about these awards. 

 

AND that ad one xD That's hilarious to me because people were saying on the boards that it would be a boon and everyone was calling out that person saying they were trolling. They said they wouldn't put a boon in the shop that premium members already get. RIP, jokes on them I guess haha

But it's pointless ... most people use AdBlocker

I REALLY wanted the Tale of Woe Theme .. however what I got was two old plot themes that I actually participated in on my old account (CoM and LDP) and I'm quite pleased with the Nostalgia ...

I didn't take part in the ToW as I was away on Hiatus so that's Poetic Justice I suppose .. wanting smthg I had no hand in ...

I'm wondering the same. Would be great if I can use a cheaper morphing potion to get the colour I want, then use the perk to turn it into a painted limited edition pet

[Midgetlegs 63]

There's only one of the listed avatars that I still need so I guess I'll be getting that one then. 

Strike that. I just did it and got the opposite gendered Korbat - Royal, which I forgot was a thing.
