Isle Seeker
(1,250)
And an awesome trophy...
What did everyone get anyway? XD I only bought a book and the little… erm, “ship” model. XD I'll save the rest of my points for later.
I'm disappointed we didn't get an avatar or a sidebar. xp

I'm just disappointed in the lack of Rourke items. 
Is there a trick to getting a trophy? I'm not seeing mine. 
But I have 1,325 points. Not sure whether or not to buy the hat; I suppose I need to see it on an Acara.
It is a pity there's no avatar or sidebar. But I wouldn't have used either unless they slipped an Acara in so it doesn't affect me personally.
(Me? Obsessed?)

I went with the hat ('cause it's neat and wearable), the life preserver (for Colorus' room), and a key chain ('cause it's all I had left). I'm glad the points worked out with no leftovers this time, although I would have liked an avatar or sidebar...

You have to spend some of your points for the trophy to show up on your lookup.
I have 1325 points as well which I haven't spent but I did pick up a pair of the specs off of the Shop Wizard. I took some screenshots of some of my pets wearing them in case anybody wants to know what they look like:
      I'm keeping them on the Korbat, he looks so geeky/cute, although the Draik and Yurble aren't bad either.
Does anybody have the Jaw Bone or the Sketch in their Neohome/Garden? I'd like to see what they look like before I buy.

I bought the hat to try on; I don't know, I might keep it. (EVENTUALLY it will probably inflate, but it will probably deflate first. )

Can anyone provide a list of plot prizes? Apparently you can only see up to what you can buy, so I would like to know what the other prizes are that cost more than my 1225 points (Like the 1250 BD item)

The 1250 BD item is
Makeshift Ships Hammer
(Not only is this good for rebuilding ships, but it is good for fighting off those pesky overgrown Petpetpets. Weapon.)
Is there anything above that?

I have 1200 points... I'll have to consider what I'm going to buy. I haven't spent any of my points from any plot I've completed.

I must be slow. I totally missed that the prizes are out. How do I find out how many points I have and where can I go to see the prizes?
Nevermind. Found the link in the news. I only have 1200 points. This is the only plot that I've ever battled in, so I'm proud of myself anyway.

Bleh, I'm going to have to stay away from it then, who knows when they'll fix it? I'm still waiting for them to fix the Snowy Stone Wall from the Daily Dare prizes back in March.
I went ahead and bought a couple of the Giant Jaw Bones. If anybody wants to see what they look like I stuck them in my Sands Of Time Garden:

They make really nice natural flower planters.
I also have the SS Primella Life Preserver in RubyTuesday's Room: http://www.neopets.com/neohome.phtml?typ...ent=calvinorion

Hmmm... did anyone get more than 1325 points?
The inclusion of wearable items is great but.. wow, the prices! I can never decide what to buy, and I don't have enough points to buy both wearable items. The battledome stuff is rarely worth anything, the plushies are quite attractive but I wouldn't use them, nor would I use garden items, books, or toys.
I have a great temptation to get that Moach plush, though it'd just rot in my SDB. The wearables seem sensible, but which?! Gah! I wish we could get both! They're way too expensive to go buying from the shops... anyone think they'll go down from 60-99k?!
I don't want to waste any of my points, but I DO want to see my trophy! Can anyone post a pic?
I'm so disappointed by this plot. They had so much they could do with it, but no, they did everything "by the book" and it ended really really quickly. My optimistic side keeps thinking they're just toying with us and they're not so insolent as to give us such a sub-standard ending, whilst my pessimistic side is well aware that I should expect nothing more from them.

 They didn't do any innovating at all. It was just a rehash of all the plot elements and storylines they have done several times before. Obviously sitewide events like plots are what keep the masses hanging around but if future plots are going to be as commonplace as this one was I dunno if it'll be enough to keep people's interest.

Some people on the Neoboards claimed to have up to 1375 points, but no more.
Seren, the hats are already down to 55,000 NP; I think further deflation is somewhat likely. But I already bought mine with more NP than that (still have all of my plot points) so I guess I'll just hold on to my poor investment. After all, I am partial to hats.
I didn't hate the plot, and frankly, the prizes were a ton better than the Altador Plot (which IMO was much harder). I think it could've been neater, but they had a very limited time frame. It was a pleasant surprise to see the plot prizes come out in an almost reasonable timeframe, and the fact that the plot did progress and end in a fairly steady manner is a bonus to me. I did not like that the characters were all stereotypes (well, excepting Rourke, who was awesome...well, maybe a little bit of a stereotype...). You know, the learned professor and his daughter, the spunky young kid, the "witty"/dashing adventurer, etc.... But given that they couldn't fit in an epic plot, that's the only thing I would've really hoped they would have done better on.
Well, and I would've liked the island to actually become a place to visit.

You know, I don't think this plot is *really* over; I still think there's more to come somewhere down the line---I hope Captain Rourke will be in it again, however, since he's my absolute favorite. XD

Taken from the Neopedia article on Lilian Fairweather. I think this is a clue that it's just the beginning.
I bought the moach plushie and the Scrap one too, along with the life preserver. I just chose stuff I liked this time around.

Thanks, everyone who told me how to get the trophy! I like to sit on my plot points so it may be a while before my trophy displays.

For the record, I think the bad reviews of this particular plot shouldnt be bad views at all. I believe that the main goal of this plot was to give TNT an insight as to how a plot would work with the new layout running and so many people on the site at once because, as far as I can remember, this is the first plot since the layout has been changed. (This does not include the Altador Plot you can still complete)
I just dont think its fair to criticize TNT for experimenting. The plot was not difficult by any means and the prizes werent that bad. Now they just need to figure out how to make the pound work with the new interface and then I guess we are all good!

I think you could be right... but I don't complain about plot prizes... the point of doing a plot, for me, is having fun doing it. I never really focus on getting something... I think I may have mentioned that I've yet to buy stuff from any of the plot shops, despite having points. Although, I guess I'll have to buy something now.
The pound opening up would be good, especially now that they have the petpet avvies working.

i'm surprised we're getting plot prizes so early. it usually takes months for tnt to tally it all. lol
but if you look at the front page, it says that the mysterious voyage will continue. i hope we don't need the prizes of phase 1 to do the next phase.

I got 1150pts here... Got a couple of plushies and the bobble head. I think they kinda ended it quick to the fact the cup was coming up and didn't want both to run the same time... But that's my oppinion... Wouldn't mind seein a second part to the plot though....

I'm not so sure that they even considered the battledome in their plot points awarding. I battled a lot and did not get the max but I have seen others who said that they didn't battle much at all but still had the max.

Well I finally cashed in my plot points, all 1250 of them. I got the isle sketch (that I will add to my neohome as soon as TNT decides to fix the yellow box issue), a scrap plushie(very adorable), and the SS primella ship building kit.
