The Daily Neopets › Neopets Articles › FEA (Basic Jobs)Getting a job is hard, and getting one and the Faerieland Employment Agency (FEA) is no different. But to be successful in anything, there are always some tips of the trade that you need to learn. These are the ones for the FEA.
The jobs get posted every ten minutes, nine second before the minute. The time should look something like this: xx:x9:51 It's best to get there about a minute before hand, or just have a separate screen with the agency basic jobs screen up for fast access when you see that it's time. Be sure to refresh at the x9:51, or you'll lose time. It's only about 30 seconds before all of the jobs are gone.
The most prepared position you can be in is to have your left hand on the F5 button, have the screen scrolled down some, and have your mouse in the margin shown below. (Just pretend the badly drawn triangle is the cursor.)
This will increase your chances of getting the job. Also, it's best to have a few thousand neopoints on hand when you get the job. Somewhere in the 2,000-5,000 range should do it.
This is the most important part of getting the job. Clicking. Whatever you do, never look at the job you click on. Just click. If you look and choose, they'll all be gone. If the job you got at random ends up too expensive, go to the status page, choose the quit job button, and try again later. You won't always get a job, but you will 7/10 times. If you get it, it will say so. If not, it says the job is taken. If you didn't get it, then click basic jobs on the link bar up top, DO NOT HIT THE BACK BUTTON, as it will take you back to all ready gotten jobs.
Now comes the easy part. Just copy and paste the item you need into the Shop Wiz (be sure to remove the 's'), and get the number of items you need as fast as you can. You can still price search for the best prices if you want or need, but remember, there is a time limit, and the quicker you get back, the more neopoints you get.
Ok, good! Now, head back to the Agency and go to status (it's in the list of links at the top), then scroll down until you see the job you were just on, and click on it. If you have all of the items, then it will accept it and you get your neopoints and the time is recorded in your active pet's resume. It helps to choose one pet to go on jobs with so that the recordings go to it and you can get higher ranks and such with that pet.
Yeah, the limit per day for basic jobs is five. We can't have one person get them all and not let others work, now can we?
Almost. Just remember that you have to be patient, and if you never were any good at restocking, this might not be the place for you. A little luck never hurt either.
Yes, now you are ready to spring into the world of FEA and jobs! So get out there and get going!
