Stamp collecting in Neopets is not just a hobby; it's an art form that allows you to showcase your dedication, achievements, and appreciation for the rich lore of Neopia. Follow this guide to embark on your stamp-collecting journey:
1. Understanding Stamps:
- Stamps are collectible items that you can place in your Stamp Album, showcasing various aspects of Neopian history, culture, and events.
 - You can obtain stamps through various means, including the Neopian Post Office, Random Events, user shops, and special events.
 
2. Assembling Your Stamp Album:
- Start by visiting the Post Office in Neopia Central to purchase a Stamp Album.
 - The album is divided into themed pages, each dedicated to a specific category like Battledome, Faerieland, Mystery Island, etc.
 - Next, collect stamps relevant to these categories to complete each page.
 
3. Where to Find Stamps:
- Neopian Post Office: Purchase stamps directly from the Post Office in Neopia Central. Since new stamps are released regularly, check back frequently.
 - Random Events: While exploring Neopia, you might occasionally receive a stamp through a Random Event.
